Panthers rookie Ikem Ekwonu is already one of the NFL’s best offensive tackles

The Carolina Panthers appear to finally have their franchise left tackle in rookie Ikem Ekwonu

The Carolina Panthers have been searching for a franchise left tackle ever since Jordan Gross retired back in 2013. They’ve rotated various options at the position with varying degrees of success, from Michael Oher during their Super Bowl run, to the disaster that was Cameron Erving.

They’ve finally found their man, and he’s enjoying a meteoric rise to the upper echelon of NFL taackles

Ikem Ekwonu was drafted No. 6 overall in the 2022 NFL draft, the first offensive tackle off the board in a strong class at the position. He was considered by many as the best tackle in the draft, and for good reason.

An ultra-athletic big man with a mean streak, Ekwonu possesses elite awareness that creates a deadly combination in the run game as well as the pass game. He was well-known as a mauler in the run game at North Carolina State, making opposing defenders disappear into the void and reappear 10 yards down the field. This has directly translated to the NFL game, as Ekwonu has led one of the top running games in the league.

While his opening game was a rough learning experience, giving up two sacks and a handful of pressures against All-Pro Myles Garrett, Ekwonu has shown marked improvement since that debut. Over the last three games, Ekwonu has graded out as the best rookie offensive tackle, and one of the top tackles overall in the NFL, only allowing one more sack since opening day.

According to Pro Football Focus, Ekwonu has had a pass blocking grade over 70.0 every game since Week 2, an impressive feat for a rookie who has been thrown into the fire of what was a train wreck of an offensive line.

Ekwonu is a major part of the Caroina’s resurgence in the offensive trenches, and should be a cornerstone of the franchise for the next decade and beyond.

Carolina vs Los Angeles Rams Game Preview

Why Carolina Will Win

Not to be glib, but can PJ Walker be any worse than Baker Mayfield?

Mayfield’s ankle has been a problem and Walker is likely going to get the start. No matter what’s happening on offense to start the Steve Wilks era, it’s going to be the defense that has to get this done.

The Rams still can’t seem to get it all together with just 19 points in the last two weeks, one of the weakest offenses in the NFL, and with no running game that’s getting worse with Cam Akers expected to be out.

Just keep this close into the fourth. The Rams haven’t been sharp enough to run away and hide against anyone so far, and Carolina is playing with absolutely no pressure.

New coach, new quarterback, new season – the Panthers can just turn it loose, at least in theory.

– Week 6 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Los Angeles Rams Will Win

The Panthers just aren’t able to move the ball.

The defense hasn’t been a prize on third downs, and it’s not holding up well enough when it needs to try taking over the game, but it’s not the biggest problem in the 1-4 start.

The running game doesn’t work lately, the passing attack has yet to hit 250 yards – that might change under Walker – and the O is the worst in the NFL on third downs.

The Rams need to take a deep breath, spread the all around a little bit, commit to the ground game more, and …

– Week 6 NFL Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Just keep hitting the midrange passes.

Matthew Stafford is off. Whether he’s banged up or he’s missing a No. 2 target to click with – this Allen Robinson thing isn’t working – there’s a problem. The way-too-banged-up Carolina secondary might be just the cure for that.

The Rams aren’t going to do anything crazy offensively, but methodical will work here right up until Walker goes off for a few big third quarter drives. They’ll make this interesting, but it won’t be enough.

Tampa Bay vs Pittsburgh Game Preview

Why Tampa Bay Will Win

The Steelers can’t get the offense going.

To be fair, no one should have to start as a rookie against Buffalo, but Kenny Pickett didn’t get his yards until the 38-3 game was well out of reach, the running game couldn’t help the cause, and now it’s up to Tampa Bay’s defense to keep that all going.

The Buccaneer defense hasn’t been dominant, but it hasn’t been bad outside of a brilliant day from Patrick Mahomes in the first half of a 41-31 Kansas City win.

The Steeler pass defense is among the worst in the league, Tampa Bay will have enough offensive balance to move how it wants to, and …

– Week 6 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Pittsburgh Will Win

Can the Steelers generate enough of a pass rush to matter?

They couldn’t do it early on last week against Josh Allen, but they have to start up from by keeping the suddenly non-existent Tampa ground game to nothing – it hasn’t hit 75 yards since the opener against Dallas – and then just make 12 rush a wee bit.

Yeah, duh, everyone has spent decades trying to make Tom Brady hurry, but the big downfield pass plays can’t be there like they were against Buffalo. Short quick-hitters are fine in lieu of a ground game.

Offensively, the Bucs can be run on. Pickett has to get moving when he can early on, and …

– Week 6 NFL Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

A few takeaways are a must.

Tampa Bay was good for a few turnovers a game for a few weeks before its clean performance against Atlanta, but the Steelers will get two in this and capitalize on both opportunities.

The problem is the Tampa receivers – they’re relatively healthy compared to earlier in the season. This will be more of a fight than the Bucs might like, but they’ll pull away late.
