Would you trade Ickey

Given he is on his rookie contract and this year he has a new line coach, let's see how he progresses. At the cost of left tackles these days, he is worth more to keep him versus trading him away. 

i am not even sure Ickeys pass blocking issues/struggles are coachable at this point & not more of a physically unable to perform situation

Let's be real, with proper training you can increase lateral speed, strength and balance so it isn't physical inability. His measurables were pretty good I recall. It is likely mental which can improve with repetition and practice. Truth is he might be another one who needs to do some pine time to observe and learn by watching instead of doing. Might make him hungrier to excel.

well like I have said before I think we should start Brady Christensen at LT until Ickey has more time to develop.in best case scenario for Ickey right now is that he could play RT for at least a year before transitiong to LT but with Moton of course that is not an option

Cracking this cold one open again since the ‘what do we do with Ickey’ conversation has again resurfaced. Some good commentary. 

I’ll temper some of the shade I may have thrown at him. I am trying to generate optimism in his progression to reliably pick up speed rushers like the big boys do.

Think of all the draft picks we could have if we just traded everyone on the team 

I think we would have to give up picks to unload this sh*t roster.

Nah, it will be more of a Panthers thing to be dismayed and entertained watching him do his version of the Ickey Shuffle out at left tackle for a while longer, sign him to a stupid value 2nd contract, or just let him walk and have nothing at left tackle and be over a barrel and take whatever turnstile we can find on the open market.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
