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.

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.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
