Here is my last take on what happened over the past few days. Not many are saying this, but Delhomme HAD to go. With the labor laws we were able to escalate the $12MM (that we got by letting go of the other 4) and be done with his deal. Under a new agreement we would have had $4Mm next year and $3mm the next guranteed. It was the right thing to do. the problem was that we gave it to him. Richardson has to be pointing his finger and FURNEY!!! As for Lewis and Kemo... I liked what I saw from Leonard and Tyler. We gave up draft picks to get them. I think they will not do that much less then Lewis and Kemo in my opinion.Plus Ed Johnson has been hurt. he is also young and Meeks knows what he can do. I think we are going to be just fine there. Diggs was interesting. Not sure I really see the point especially since you redid the deal right after the season. Huh?? But Anderson and Conner probably can get the job done.I was impressed with Anderson. The biggest question is this: We went 4-1 down the stretch. Outside of Peppers(big one here) and Lewis, who else that we have let go had anything to do with that success. Not Much! So, I am not too worried. I think if Johnson and Brown get 75% of the snaps they will put up 7-10 sacks each. Leonard had 1 sack in 2 games. About the same as Lewis all year. So I leave this post with two questions:

WR: What in the world are we doing?

FB:Brad Hoover are checking your phone? I think you need to keep it close. You my friend are over the age limit of still being on this team.You might want to start looking at who needs a FB.

Fiammetta can play it and honestly Sutton wasn't too bad either when he tried it. You might be right, but we are taking chances in other places too.

JR saved a lot of money by cutting these guys and they were expendable. Hoov is only making around $860,000 and is an integral part of our run game. He also is on the last year of his deal so no labor agreement issues to worry about with his deal.

Once again the absolute importance of Hoover to this team is underestimated. Hoover is not going anywhere. Fiametta will be his future replacement but not this year, Hoover is the key to the running game which is the key to keeping Matt Moore on his feet and successful.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      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.
