Ekwonu with probable significant knee injury….

Same folks who will get ultra defensive over the QB will be the first to trash our left tackle who had to get carted off for an injury.

Maybe a move inside would do him good. Who knows what the future holds just yet.

So, I had to work and missed 90% on the game. 
Anyone mind telling when this happened?  Did they have to play a lot without him? 
I hate it for him especially so late in the year, that is really going to impact us next year.

Him and Hunt both got hurt and the running game actually came to life with them out. The scheme looked much better letting Bryce roll out and do his thing. Not saying we are better off without Ickey but today, in this game, the offensive line to me looked better with him out.

Jesus. Hunt? Biceps?

It's fitting for the team with a black cat as its logo that we finally get into a playoff game and we lose a key player so early in the game. And we'll pay the price for that in 2026 since I doubt he'll be ready for quite a while.

Icky had a great year. He played the last couple games hurt, but he has looked like a solid LT for us. Obviously we need to get his knee checked out but he earned an extension in my book. 

I'd be weary Paying a LT that had a significant knee injury and won't even play next year. Who knows how good he'll even be after this injury, and he already had problems with speed rushers. Terrible situation for everybody because now that's one extra move we have to make to replace him.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
