After "humbling" second season, Ikem Ekwonu ready to take advantage of a new offense

Well, because Bryce didn’t just say I didn’t throw with my WRs.  Bryce made the point of having nothing to do with football overall.   Then went in about being a loner and being alone. So it’s more than just not working out with his teammates.  It’s a lost offseason to build leadership and being the dude.  

CJ Stroud is checking multiple boxes with his actions.  Based on what Bryce said….its a 180 from what you generally would like to see and hear. 

.  

There are clips of Bryce and ISM working out together. So he wasn’t completely isolated it but wasn’t really advertised because he wasn’t that great of a player last year. I think you are just taking that quote from his interview and running wild with it. He was giving a generic basic answer and didn’t really put much detail in it. I’m not sure if the ISM thing was lumped into morning workouts or he just didn’t mention it…

Well, then that’s on the Panther PR machine.  All I got is Bryce with a horrible answer to a question.  Taking his word.  And if I recall, it was the Panthers media that put that Bryce interview/question out there to begin with.  That was really our first back to Bryce piece.  And maybe it was just that.  A bad answer that didn’t paint a good picture.

If there is one reprieve I will give icky, the dude has a turnstile rotation of guards next to him the entire year that forced him to have to worry about inside and outside rushers

You can’t even give him that. Yes, it helps to have a G who’s good so that the QB doesn’t run straight into the edge rusher and make Iky’s job easier but Iky was terrible just blocking the guy he was supposed to block. We saw that early in preseason. He couldn’t even block (heck even touch sometimes) the one edge guy who was his assignment and that was in preseason game 1. While the preseason doesn’t matter folks were laying out the excuses, it was obvious in preseason that Iky was going to have a bad season and our OL was not good.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
