Mayo brings the mustard

I hope you see what I did there--went with a condiment theme because his name is Mayo. I even heard Henne telling his guard to "hold the mayo."  Ok--I am done.   I don't start many threads, but I noticed Mayo got a lot of buzz in the game day thread, but this guy is tearing up the preseason.  We need to find a way to get him on the field, and I have some thoughts about that and a few other observations comments to get the ball rolling. 

1.  Play him when games are decided instead of Luke.  I never understood why NFL teams risk injury by playing starters with a 24-point lead in the fourth.  Build your depth and eliminate injury and end-of-season fatigue.  Mayo would hold his own.

2. Take a look at Mayo behind TD.  If he can play there, we could be set there for a while.  I like him better at MLB, but he reads nearly as quickly as Luke---and that is more important that foot speed.  OK--here is one:  If he were to take TD's starting spot one day, you could call them Luke and Dukes. And if Cash were to replace Shaq, you would have Luke and Dukes and Dukie.   I am on fire.

3.  Trade him.  I know that is not a popular concept, but we have a ton of depth (Norris and Jacobs and Boulware) behind him.  A team, especially a 3-4. might give up a nice player or draft pick for Mayo, especially if there is an injury that threatens their season.  If we can't find a place for him on the field, we need to get a player for him that can find the field.   A Safety, perhaps?  I hate saying this because I LOVE Mayo and I love the players we have like him, but if you look at the business side...

Not sure I agree, but I bet he would relish the opportunity

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
