From the footage I reviewed, ickey definitely has gotten better from week to week. He made a tremendous mental error last week, but the week before he made 2-3. It’s progress.

 

i will this though, when it comes to run blocking, ickey will be elite before the end of the season. It’s amazing watching him run block. It was supremely evident on Sunday against the giants where we were averaging over 6 yards a carry to the left.

Wait, what? He played LT every snap in preseason whether he was first team or second team and he was pronounced the starter at LT early. One thing Iky had was preseason snaps. Heck he stayed in the preseason games longer than vet LTs did. I don’t like Rhule but I’ll reply when he gets blamed for things that didn’t happen.

Yes I should have specified first team reps. Or we can talk more about Trey Smith or Creed Humphrey.

Sudden? He was never that good lol I don't even think he's ever made a PRO bowl

OL on bad teams struggle to make Pro Bowls unless they're a perennially dominate player (like a Joe Thomas). Fans don't watch the OL and only notice them when they're great or awful. The rest of the time they just blend in. The same OL tend to go to the Pro Bowl year in and year out based on name recognition.

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.

Icky isn't the only one. All of them have had their mistakes.

That theory has actually stopped over the last few years. Modern NFL has made the RT position just as valuable as the LT. it used to be that teams would line up their best pass rusher on the weak side of the line and the strong side of the line would have a TE supporting the RT.

now with modern offenses, you have a balanced line and defenses use exotic pressures and athleticism on the sides of the line.  We are no longer in a league where the LT is tremendously more valuable than RT. It’s marginal now. 

I knew someone was going to chime in with this. Yes more edge rushers move to the right side but it's not just about that. It's about how the QB sees the pressure and the lanes. The blindside is still the most dangerous side for a QB. It's also the side that sees the most blitzes and stunts. RT has moved on from basically bull rushers but it's still more simplistic than all that happens on the left side. I would have no problem letting a LT learn on the left if we were rebuilding and playing for draft position but that's not what Rhule is doing and at some point Mayfield or whoever is back there is going to get hurt because Icky is learning by fire. While we have 3 tackles who actually have experience playing that position.

      Bryce Speaks

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes I have. Have you? If you know anything about body language which I'm guessing you don't, it communicates what you're really thinking. People lie with words everyday. Very few people have enough control over their bodies to lie with that as well. So, if you want to know the truth, ignore their planned responses and read their body language.  You say he's pissed, I don't see pissed. I see indifference. He shrugs his shoulders like 10 times. What does a shoulder shrug usually mean when we communicate? It means I don't know. No me. Not my problem. etc. Everything he said was dismissed as I don't know, no my problem.  If he were pissed their should have been more aggressive motions and when people are pissed the eyes narrow.  There was non of that. Watch the Dalton video when he got benched in Cinci. He was pissed and his body language shows it. He shakes his head no aggressively when talking about the decision which matches his words that he disagrees with the decision, his eyes narrow and he rocks from side to side leaning in slightly on his right side. That's a sign of aggression which means anger.

      well, if you put in stock into Tom Brady's opinions.  He said the young QBs shouldn't be playing.  He said they are setup to lose.  They don't have time to learn how to play QB in the NFL.  So what teams do is they dumb down literally everything for the young QBs and throw them into the fire.  Which for a Bryce is REALLY going to hurt.....because he doesn't even have average physical tools, let alone doesn't have break glass emergency skills to overcome anything.  Brady implied even ones playing well aren't really playing QB at a high level.

      I think we’re past trying to tailor fit an offense for Bryce. He won’t study it or put in extra work during the offseason anyway.
