Haynes basically plays stand up edge/OLB in odd fronts. He won't really be used like Fox (That more YGM's role).  I see him replacing Luvu on passing downs as a rotational piece. We will see how much he plays depending on who else we can bring in and if we trade away any other players (ie-Burns). Its a good signing IMO.

I think you're right. I'll take YGM over Fox any day of the week.

I've always liked him. Reminds me of a smaller Mario Addison. All motor.

Mario Addison was a poor man's edge rusher.  Haynes is a poor man's Mario Addison.  So he's a poor man's--->poor man's edge rusher.  Major score!  Fug this front office.

Lol. He signed a contract to be a rotational player. He is a good rotational player.

He should have been gone was my point.  You hang on to a Mario Addison, You don't hang on to a Marquis Haynes. Great, we scored a DE 4 or DE 5.  Break out the bubbly!!!

I mean....we can't get rid of everyone. It's not like we have other guys to replace him, money to spend replacing him or draft picks to spend replacing him.

I mean, we could have used Ian Thomas' money.  That's my main gripe, the players we hang on to makes little sense and the money we paid them can collectively go towards at least a  marginal upgrade.  I've been trying to kick both of these guys to the curb for at least two years now and what does Rhule/co do? Hand out new contracts, the LAST THING I would have done.

Yeah, I get it. Haynes is not a bad contract, IMO. 

There are so many worse than that, unfortunately.

    • 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.
