One of my biggest complaints in the regular work world was when decisions were made by people who were ill-informed to make those decisions.

That's a problem no matter where it happens.

It's one of the things that was the hardest for me to learn in business. You hire people who excel in certain areas. I can't know everything. My job is to manage the people. Letting go, especially for a control freak, is extremely difficult to do.

Yeah I think he jumped the gun on changing the entire scheme before the roster was ready.  

I'd expect he was always going to go into it with a West Coast based scheme.

BUT...

Per his own words, Reich stated that he wanted to tailor the scheme to fit the players rather than the other way around.

It doesn't look like he's doing that.

thats pretty obvious at this point

Which is why I'm not too concerned about what really thought about the roster/team before the season started.  He and his staff developed an offense without taking into consideration the strength of the players on the roster.

The question becomes what will they do in the coming offseason?

You certainly can't install an entirely new offense in the middle of the year, but you can tailor the attack to your personal plenty over a full offseason.

That, or you can make some changes to the line so that they better fit what you want to run.

Which is what makes it even more confusing. We have a line built to run over people but instead are one of the highest passing teams in the league.

it's weird, it's almost like coaches and teams just sell you a bunch of bologna publicly they want you to believe.  Not that it's all rooted in truth.  So maybe you can't put much stock in their words. 

I got this weird deja vu feeling.

Regardless of who's calling the plays...

I know people were looking for the switch from Reich to Brown to make a big difference, it really didn't.

The playbook is the playbook and it's built around these complicated blocking schemes that don't play to our lines strengths. Changing playcallers wasn't going to change much if you're still reading from the same book.

It is only tailored to fit Bryce. This is where most of the problem is coming from. We cannot keep running this and taking 4-6 sacks with another 10 knockdowns every game. Our team is not built for this system outside of BY.

I'd say the receiver spot could be an issue there as well.

What you want ideally in a WCO is a set of receivers who have great run after the catch ability.

I don't see very much of that on our team.

We have more of the run away from the ball kind of WRs and slow ass Thielen

      a tip of the cap to the Special Juan

      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.
