Enough with the crying that we took Bryce over Stroud. We need to be talking Ickey over Cross

We aren't giving him any help.  No TEs in-line, very limited RBs in pass protecting. The Texans were bringing overloaded or delayed pressure.  Ickey has struggled, but he can only block one dude and the defense routinely brought two guys from that side.

Sorry, but that’s not true. Houston was just rushing 4 most times. That last sack by Bernard was one on one with no stunts, no delay, no overload, just Mano a Mano. All Bernard did was smack away Iky’s hands and run right over Young. That was just an awful attempt to block Bernard.

Iky has regressed this year and has had terrible moments since preseason game 1. He has to improve or he’s not a LT and we whiffed. Garrett Wilson would have been nice for Young.

Yes, that one I agree.  But if you are saying that they were just beating us with 4 and keeping 7 back, that's hogwash.

Was just speaking on Iky’s failures. He’s just getting beat one on one. He’s getting beat on other stunts too, but he almost looks un-salvageable. He’s certainly not learning from the mistakes but he also appears to just be plain getting beat. That’s not really fixable.

Icky was pretty damn solid last year. We'll see if he bounces back.

They have him playing in the wrong scheme. He isn’t a finesse zone blocking LT. It falls on Frank for not playing to his players strengths IMO. We had a decent OL for a power running PA offense with man on man blocking, but he is forcing his offense without the players to run it.

    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
    • Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
