Let’s talk some Ickey at LT

honestly a lot of D line problems today were Baker refusing to step up into the pocket. 

In hindsight, although a lot of those plays he made looked really goofy and sometimes didn't pan out, I think Daniel Jones handled those pressures 1000x better than Baker in that he evaded the pressure and then would try to reset to wait as long as possible for a receiver to come open; sometimes they didnt, and he ended up throwing something horrible or just throwing it away a the last second.  Whereas Baker would evade the pressure and immediately started up field on a scramble, almost every time.  Those 3 and 4 yard gains ultimately are inconsequential.  Jones had multiple big conversions off the same broken plays by waiting for a pass.  

But again, I'm going to believe part of this is still getting comfortable in the offense, but even more so, especially on the off-schedule plays, it's a lack of reps and chemistry with the receivers, imo.

He played better than he did last week. I look for this trend to continue as he was seen as a relatively raw pass blocking LT out of college. He set out too wide for one play and got beat inside and the other was a missed pickup on a blitz. Both are just mental mistakes that will get corrected with experience.

Corbett and Elf combined to give up interior pressure but as mentioned, a ton was on Baker. Icky has strung together good series so far and I see some really promising stuff.

Yeah, Ickey will be alright. Just give him some experience and some quality NFL coachi…

Well, maybe it’s gonna be a longer road than expected.

Our rookie LT is the very least of the problems.  His ceiling is high 

the coaching staff  and personnel decisions however ….

He looked pretty good outside of two mistakes. Slipped on one sack if I remember. Seems like people have an agenda on Ickey to be honest. Really improved over last game. I’m feeling good about his play. 

He looked way ahead of the other rookie Neal, RT for the giants.

Anyone who says he got abused either didn't watch the game or just dislikes Icky

He's playing like I'd expect a rookie to play and even with that said he was better than last week. He's the least of our worries

Ickey hasn't looked great but damn, there's a laundry list of bigger problems than a rookie LT taking some lumps.

Move icky to Guard and Brady to LT. Icky as a run blocker is elite. He needs time to grow into pass blocking. 

[Jaxel]

The only rookie that got abused today was Evans, dang he was get roasted.

Moton isn't a rookie and he looked worse.

Let him stay at LT and develop. We aren’t going anywhere with Rhule as HC. Might as well develop our top 10 pick this year.

I do think he is playing hurt in his defense…
