New defensive scheme will take time to gel

Most people were saying it will take 2 years to shift personnel to transition to a 3-4.  Hurney shortened it by focusing much of the draft and free agency on getting folks for the new scheme.  But who thought they would have it down pat in their first action together?  How long should we need to build chemistry and get everyone on the same page? And who thought it would gel without Luke or Shaq.

Good post.  Everything centers around Luke and Shaq. The front DL is going to be good.  The DE/OLBs are going to be solid.  How often did Allen (Buff) go for TEs or target the player Boston was covering?  Early on, that was the weak spot.  If we get our #1 draft pick LBs involved, part of that problem is no longer a problem.

Luke is the captain of the defense and Shaq is his lieutenant. Without them we got gashed up the middle.

Plus we didn't game plan at all for them where they appeared to game plan for us picking on Carter for example.  So really the point was to give our starters reps together in order to get some film to evaluate. 

The offense was looking at the line play and how we stood up to lots of blitzing. They used Allen and Grier as stand ins rather than risking Cam. 

Special teams was a mixed bag as our kicker shined and the coverage teams struggled.

But we made progress and we have some film on the defensive line and secondary.

      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.

      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.
