They say he’s ahead of schedule but I’m still thinking week 6-8ish. Texans game after the bye makes sense 

In corbetts presser earlier this week he made it sound like he will be ready by end of pup - thinks he can play sooner but it’s up to the front office

They sounded optimistic about Zavala as well. Believe they said he could be available for some preseason action.

The offensive line has 5 starters at any given time--more than any other position group, but you really need 7-8 that are starting quality.  Personally, i do not think BC is a LG, but is perfect to be a swing OT for 2023 and could replace Moton in 2024 when his contract explodes to $30m.  I seriously think Zavala and Corbett will be the starting guards for most of the season.  Mays is an ideal backup at C and both G spots, as is Jensen.  If they all work out--that is eight players with starting ability--problem is, they do not have the starting ability right now (injury, experience). 

Backups for 2023:  Christensen (eventually--not right now), Mays, and Jensen.

Starters for 2023 (later in the season):  Ikwonu, Zavala, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton.

Guard is not our only problem.  Tackles looked terrible last game as well.  

Zero concerns on tackle, those 2 are proven 1 preseason game means nothing for them. Now the swing tackle/backup is an issue but hopefully they never see the field

I could get on board with that.

I feel like it's always worth mentioning when we're talking O-Line that as a position group, chemistry / continuity matters probably more than it does anywhere else on the field. You could argue secondary is up there too but I think the line is where it matters most.

Keeping that group together was a big part of what made us successful last year. Here's hoping the same applies to this season as well.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.

      I'm more of a Hornets fan than I am a Panthers fan, I've watched a ton of this franchise the last 20 years. I post all day on RealGM. Don't get your hopes up, this is setting us up for a 20 point loss to the Heat and a swift end to the season. Spoelstra has always solved us, the Heat have two bigs that we have no answers for, and Jaquez is a certified Hornets killer that always plays us like he has a grudge on us. The Hornets being a top 10 team all year and a top 5 team the last half of the year and then flat out missing the playoffs is incredibly on brand for this crappy, horrendous franchise. I would love to be proven wrong. But I've suffered enough to know this little scheme the team is pulling. We finished 2 games out of 6th and guaranteed playoffs, and we blew two games to the Pacers and Nets earlier in the season, when they weren't trying to win. It's just who we are, Hornets DNA
