Enough with the crying that we took Bryce over Stroud. We need to be talking Ickey over Cross

Ickey has really struggled this year. Hell, the whole OL has. I just don't think our blocking scheme fits our talent at all. We have a bunch of maulers and we're asking them to finesse.

A top 8 pick at LT should be able to do simple pass blocking.  And he ain’t been able too

Pass blocking wasn't his strength going into the draft. He was a run mauler that was going to need to learn to pass block at the pro level. Offensive philosophy has changed from power run to complex blocking schemes. Setting up failure

This. He looked good last year once we transitioned to a power running offense that set the pass up with the run. That's what he's equipped to do at this point.

It's like asking a read option QB to play like Drew Brees. It's probably not gonna go well. It's just square pegs and round holes.

Yeah Reich and Brown shouldn’t have switched to this zone blocking scheme yet. We don’t have the players to run it. We should design our offense to their strengths then either move Icky to LG or trade him with ammunition to draft/sign OL to fit the scheme they are wanting to run. They’ve completely changed this offense without the players to do it yet.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
