Man, if I could go back and pull receipts on all the people that wanted to kick Derrick Brown to the curb after a hideous soph.omore campaign.  The second year slump is real and Ickey has some darn good excuses given this dumpster fire organization otherwise known as the Charlotte Panthers.  <--- Intentional.

Just noticed your avatar, that explains a lot.... Interesting that you don't have such patience with our other young (no pun intended) players.

No it's not.  The main difference is Ickey has the tools, Bryce doesn't.  Ickey didn't get drafted based on the S2 test.  Also, I said I'll give it another year.  After next season if he plays this bad, he may well be a bust.

I'm reserving judgement until next season.  He's been bad this year, no doubt, but is it him or the circumstances?  He was one of the best rookie offensive linemen last season, but the OL was stable and he had veteran QBs then.  Now he has a revolving door at LG next to him and a rookie QB with no pocket awareness.

He was never good at pass blocking even as a rookie. When he played well last season we were mostly running the ball and passing on PA. He also had help most times he had to pass block.

If its the 2nd round im only taking the kid from Washington if he falls or Jordan Morgan from AZ.

Theres a kid from Yale that's pretty solid, atleast by PFF standards however jacked they may be at times but he's solid in both pass and rush.  He's likely a round 3 guy though.  Guyton out of Oklahoma is gonna get overdrafted because of where he plays. I really don't like the kid out of BYU either but a lot of boards have him in the top 50-60. He's been very hit or miss this season.  It's gotta be a stud in the 2nd if were taking a LT hopeful. Don't go digging for diamonds there and don't overthink it. If it isn't the 2 guys I mentioned above im running to the podium with the highest graded WR and then looking to double back in 3 AND 4 for OL

Ickey sucks even worse than Bryce. Bryce doesn’t make Ickey worse. Ickey makes Bryce worse. But yeah continue with the selective patience.

He was still horrible for half a season and they protected the hell out of him during the half he was good.

I believe he needs to be playing LG and not tackle, where I once thought it was the zone scheme that Reich and Brown installed.  It's not - he's not fast enough to play tackle.

I also wonder who is "captaining" this o-line?  Are they even communicating with each other?  Usually a good center or guard, along with a veteran QB, can help the younger guys out by letting them know what may be coming but Ickey and Mays always have trouble with stunts/blitzes (and that goes for most of our offensive line as well).  We just suck.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
