What to make of Ickey?

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.

Welcome to the Carolina Huddle. Do yourself a favor and NEVER read a gameday thread the day after. The people here don't use logic to reason. They are extremely emotional posters and it's very weird.

    • It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
    • Dude he didnt play in pre season.....  he didnt practice at all with the team until the end of October.    I do agree though.
    • Bryce had a hand in the Miami win but not nearly as large of one as Rico and he also had the extra burden of being a big reason we were in the hole in the first place. If we get a winning season he is definitely back for next year though.
