All off-season the Huddle has talked up our defense.  And, for the first game, they really came through:

  • 6 sacks
  • a beautiful interception by Shaq Thompson
  • solid play for most of the game

Sure the Jets stink and we were playing against a rookie QB.   But the defense did its job.  

Well done guys.  

Well said!

The were flying around but seemed to have gotten a bit tired in the 2nd half.  Gotta build on that conditioning.  Was happy to see Nixon get in the stat book as a rookie.

I would give them a B- as a whole, that’s one of the worst offensives going into the season with a young rookie QB. 
 

The players get an A but snow’s soft zone stuff vs. a real offense has me worried.

Snow called a good game.  He didn't get soft until later in the game.  We put a lot of heat on Wilson today, including on key 3rd downs.  I don't hate the soft zone when leading late by more than a TD, because it forces the offense to burn more clock.  It just didn't work as well as planned, and we ended up giving up big plays.

The defense played really well overall.  The only bad performance I noticed was Jeremy Chinn just looked lost in coverage.  That was very surprising, because I expected him to be a stud today.

Reddick, Jones and Fox look like stellar editions. Burns continues to be a problem from the edge (although I wish he wouldn't disappear for stretches) and Brown continues to justify his Draft pick. He allows us to do so much.

Horn had a good day I thought - wasn't targeted much. The TD was just a great throw - that coverage was very good.

Hopeful Hartsfield's injury isn't serious, he's an important piece for us.

The defense is young and against great offenses we will struggle, but not today. The gameplan was very good and the execution was inconsistent. Still I would rather err on the side of being too aggressive instead of not enough. I thought Snow blitzing at the end was great to see. Sure we play zone behind it until we get Aboye back and Horn has some game reps. I am eager to see how we match up with New Orleans. Brady the student against the master. You know Brady wants that game.

      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

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      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.
