People will look at the sack and say “OMG ICKEY AGAIN?!?!?!” But honestly I think that was a coverage sack and that Bryce probably could’ve gotten that ball thrown away a little sooner. 
 

From what I saw today I thought Ickey genuinely played well for the majority of the time he was out there. Yeah, the sack happened however I think that was definitely more of a coverage sack than an indictment on Ickey.

On to the regular season lol.

People are making it out to be a lot worse than it is. He is a talented LT but I think he is playing way out of scheme in this offense.

I think that’s a fair thing to question, I just think he’s way too talented to not figure it out. I feel like towards the end of the season we’ll be speaking of him glowingly.

I think it’s really weird how 3 preseason games has completely flipped how people think of a guy who was getting praised for the majority of last season. 
 

Granted, I wasn’t on this board until this off-season so this might be a normal thing on here or maybe he was questioned more on this board but…..yeah. The way perspectives have flipped on players and just the overreactions to stuff in general these past few weeks have been really weird to watch.

This board is always very cynical don’t you worry. There will never be a player everyone likes and believes in. Maybe Luke but that’s it.

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
