I’m not sure what to think here. Brown looked good to great and did his job well. I know being a top 10 pick everyone wants to see stats, but if we can get an interior run lane clogger for the next 10 years I’m happy. Weatherly (sp?) looked fine for what we pay him. KK and Burns... where the hell were they? KK was non existent. Maybe I just missed Burns but he didn’t really seem to ever stick out or make a play. Didnt hear Gross name called much either. Obada seemed to be our best DE today, which is not reassuring. Did we even get a sack today? Man I hope we cut ties with KK when it makes sense financially

starting be very concerned about burns...he needs to be making a lot more plays

I’m scared he doesn’t fit this D. I don’t know enough about Snow but it’s definitely possible he doesn’t translate to anything more than a situational pass rusher. Hopefully I’m wrong

Burns was being manhandled by bigger linemen today, his speed wasn't paying off.

The Raiders O-line was as advertised and one of the best in the league in many opinions. Let's see how he does next week. They may need to get some stunts going to get him free. Too many times he went to the line and got locked onto.

I'm not sure about Burns being a traditional 4-3 DE the defense we ran last season was more suitable to his strengths.

Our defense was atrocious on the edges today.

Yeah agreed. Still even in pass rushing downs he looked like a non factor. Hopefully just takes him a few games to adjust

Since we're in a rebuild I wouldn't mind if Marty made a few phone calls to see what 3-4 teams might be willing to offer for Burns. If I were HC of a 3-4 team I might have my GM make a call to the Panthers.

I wouldn't mind this either. Would rather see if anyone would take KK off our hands, but couldn't hurt to just see what value he'd bring

I think it would be pretty easy to find 3-4 teams interested in Burns, but KK is another matter. I don't know who would want him.

I wouldnt be quick to judge Burns off this game. I can almost guarantee double digit sacks by the end of the season. Esp. If his snap count is high. 

If you watched, he was a step away from a sack and possible strip sack twice. The problem was Carr releasing the ball in 2 seconds every play. 

Only players that went unnoticed imo were YGM and KK Short. YGM is a rook so he gets the benefit of the doubt and I'd expect Short plans to redeem himself against Tampa. He was literally non-existent.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
