I am not sure if we realized how much missing the starting guards would set this team back. This line was put together as more to run block than pass block. That was one big change from last year. The Offensive tackles have probably been affected by trying to compensate for ineffective guard play as well. 

At least one offensive tackle has also been affected by having to move when the rest of the line moves — clearly a responsibility he cannot perform

Ekwonu is incredibly worrying so far this season, such a disappointment how big of a step back him and the entire line have taken. Derrick Brown continues to be my shining star of this team. 

I don't think it is just Ikey. All of our younger lineman have struggled.

It doesn't help that we have a line built to bruise but we keep putting them in difficult passing situations for 80% of the game.

Doesn't mean that we shouldn't be concerned but maybe running the ball more than 10 times a game might help them out some.

Vikings have a terrible defense and it's at home.  We need Bryce to play this game and get some confidence.  Hopefully he is healthy enough to play.

With the guy who still has JIMMEHHH as his avatar picture, or whatever it's called now, I'm not surprised you'd want to see that.

Give me Andy Dalton. The "Red Rocket" is here to stay.

The Jimmy thing is sarcasm.

Hey I remember you though.  You kept saying how important it was to be a multi-year starter in college and put up high numbers consistently like DTR (and Young but that doesn't count apparently).  Then you immediately contradict yourself saying we should have drafted AR over Stroud/Young.  You also insisted on us drafting Harrison Jr last year despite being constantly told he wasn't eligible.  Back to the cave with your nonsense!

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
