Why Ikem Ekwonu has HUGE UPSIDE for the Carolina Panthers 

I'm glad you said stats lie. I have been saying that. Stats without context means nothing.

Great breakdown. I never gave up on Ickey bc he was put in a tough situation last year with constant shuffling of interior oline and subpar coaching. He can still be one of the best LT in the league!

He was so good under Wilks

Quality video

Just looking at his rookie season, you can see what he has in him. Last year he was basically doing the job of two people without any back up. Several times you could see him looking confused because either he was supposed to chip and somebody pick up the rusher or the other way around and the other guy apparently didn’t get the memo. Not to mention the turnstile he had to his right. The offensive line reminded me of a pin setting in bowling called “grandmas teeth”, where the 7, 5, and 10 pin were left after the first ball so it looks like gapped teeth from the throwing line lol.

Excited to see him in a run first offense, i'm sure he will be a mauler like in College

Looking at some of those sack Bryce took, it looks like there were times Bryce could have hit an open receiver. He threw one in the dirt @ 12:26 and one Adam was open for like a 5 yard gain or more. That ball starts coming out faster all of those sacks become 15 yard roughing the passer penalties.

Better interior play will help Ickey just to the extent of the QB having somewhere to escape when he gets beat with speed. Like you said, he’s gotta put in the work and he admitted that he rested on the success from rookie year.

He also looks slow due to trying to help his guard there is mistrust there I think hunter and lewis will make a huge difference

Dudes a menace

I want to see him at guard so bad omg

He's a mauler, not a pass blocker. Carolina will use him correctly this year. 30+ rushes/game and leverage the play action. Bet on it.

Cowboys linebackers are so small and dainty Im pretty sure Me at 170 lbs can drive em 5 yds back too

Slingshot block is holding lol

Ikem will be cut after this season

Dude - that whole "slingshot" thing at 3:00 was a bunch of nothing...cmon man there was no technique there...dude beat him..all Ikem did was get a hand on him...and play was already out of dude's range...Ike got lucky on that play

Ikem is so underwhelming.
