Everything is going to be OK Folks

Ok, this could go either way this year folks

1) The "vets" on the team will motivate these young guys and this team will work together. For the most part, everyone has been here for atleast one season so its not like they haven't had time to gel. On top of that, we still have one of the top run games in the league which is going to help Moore out and it seems as if the offense is gelling with Moore so its not like there is any issues between players and Moore.

On defense, yeah, we are rebuilding that line but we only have added Ed Johnson and most have had playing time under Meeks. John Beason returns as the leader along side with Chris Harris and we may still have the same secondary from last year that played extremely well in the 2nd half of the season.

On top of that, Fox is in his last year, if he really wants to get an extension then I don't think he would let this season just slip away.

2) That is not to say that we don't have glaring needs as we do. In fact, there is the possibility of missing out of the playoffs again and if that is the case then its going to be ok because Fox will most likely be gone.

So its ok Folks, either way, we will get something good out of this.

what vets?

Deangelo williams, Thomas Davis, Chris Harris, Chris Gamble, Richard Marshall, Jon Beason, Jordan Gross, Travelle Wharton, Brad Hooverall these guys have been here a while.

anybody that's been here for more than 3 years I count as a vet.

You don't need to be a vet to be a strong leader anyways, Beason has proved that. It takes strong character to call out the best defensive player on the team in your 3rd year. Beason did that and Pepper's played better.

    • 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.
