Hitting Hard with Chris Harris

I recently had an opportunity to sit down with heavy hitter and pro tweeter Chris Harris. Here are the highlights of our conversation.

First off, your tweets have gotten quite a bit of attention. Is that really you tweeting?

Absolutely, I do it from my Blackberry. I have been more active lately, but its me.

Good to know. How would you compare Ron Meeks to Mike Trgovac? What about Meeks and Lovie Smith?

I love Trgo, he was a good defensive coach. Meeks is a little more laid back from Trgo. The scheme is less complicated than when Trgo was here. Meeks and Lovie both were calm in their approach and both rely heavily on the defensive front four. It all starts up front in their defenses.

Speaking of front four, we have lost ours. Any concerns going into next season?

Carolina Panthers

Hoover Released…. the drama continues

Our good buddy Chris Harris is tweeting that longtime Panthers fullback Brad Hoover was released today. Circumstances around the release are unknown, but we do know Hoover was due almost a million dollars this season. This conceivably could be a cost cutting move, as a blocking fullback can be signed for half of that amount. Whether or not it is worth losing a quality veteran like Hoover is a different story all together.

Some are loving this offseason. Some are hating it. I think we can all agree it has been the most interesting in recent history.

Bobcats vs. Nets Pregame Preview

Tonight, the Charlotte Bobcats travel to New Jersey to take on the 0-18 Nets, who now have the stigma of having the worst start in NBA history.

The Bobcats, (7-10) are coming off a thorough thrashing by the Celtics in a game where head coach Larry Brown said was the team’s worst effort in his short tenure with the team. “It was like the varsity against the JV,” coach Larry Brown said after the game.

“It’s disappointing,” said center Tyson Chandler, “but we can turn it right back around and go and win four out of the next five. It’s a tough loss, but we’ve got to examine it and see everything we did wrong. We’ve got to start another winning streak.”
