Combine thread

Agree, dude looked slow and stiff at the combine last year.  One of the worst combines for OTs last year 

Just like Grier, we were the only team infatuated with him. As many mistakes as he made, Gettleman at least got some solid starters in the round 2-4 area and that’s where NO has killed it lately. Hurney got Little and Grier with a 2nd and two 3rds instead of McCoy, Evans and Crosby, who were 3 of our 20-30 private visits. We could have 3 solid starters at LG, C and DE and instead we are talking about replacing one pick and the other looked like he wasn’t even backup worthy to Allen.

It’s good drafts in the day 2/early day 3 that’s made NO a dominant team who thankfully has had some bad luck in the playoffs the last three years. It’s also what’s turned us into a team with little talent.

He looked terrible in the gauntlet. So slow. Makes you wonder if that speed won’t translate at all to game day. Announcers were shocked at how slow he ran in the gauntlet.

I'm late, but I'm really shocked how bad he did along with a few other TEs...definitely off the hype train now

It was legitimately weird but made you feel like he can’t run that fast and make it through. That’s football speed vs. track speed. What’s that expression, can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
