The gadget plays yes, but I was alluding more to growth as a route runner. He's look kind of lost so far and seemingly can't separate.  

We'll see how he develops there. Even if he remains just a gadget guy he'll be worth what we gave up for him. Having a guy like that out there that the defense always has to account for is a nice chess piece.

Atlanta's offense even with Ridder at QB will be very good this year, gameplan with HAVE to be stopping the run and hoping that Chinn can cover Pitts while Jaycee blankets London. 

I wouldn't say very good but probably better than you'd expect. They're gonna lean very hard on Bijan and run the style of offense that John Fox has erotic dreams about at night.

Ross Tucker said that for defense only look for individual effort from the unproven players. That a DC in preseason is not going to show you anything of what they intend to do during real games.

I'm not concerned about the scheme. I don't think we've seen much of it. What I'm concerned with is simple assignment football. Our gap discipline in the run game has been largely terrible and we've seen blown coverages by the starters in both games.

Evidence of competency. Downplay it all you want but what we've seen this preseason is concerning. Our OL hasn't slowed anyone down yet and our D is missing a lot of gap assignments. That's not a scheming thing. That's a lack of competency.

Our defense isn't as talented as everyone makes it out to be lol.

Shaq is still just an ok LB and we have nothing beside him. We have no NT. We have one 3-4 D-lineman. We still have no 2nd edge rusher. Our S are okay and we cannot stay healthy at CB.

Like I don't expect the week 1 team to look as bad as the preason shows but I'm not terribly surprised by what the D has shown me.

The one constant with the Huddle? Nobody underestimates Panther talent like Panther fans themselves.

Right? Frankie Luvu is literally right there.

Von Bell, Xavier Woods, Jeremy Chinn, and Sam Franklin Jr are just ok?

DeShawn Williams started for the Broncos last season on the DL for their 3-4.

Justin Houston just signed.

Folks don't have to believe that the defense will play up to their hopes and desires, but willfully dissociating from reality isn't going to help either. 😮

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
