Re-look at DE and WR

Recommended Posts

96 Brayton, Tyler- #2/3 spot starter and can play DT on passing downs

91 Brown, Everette=-#2/3 has above average pass rushing skills

95 Johnson, Charles- #1 4 yrs in the league and still only 23 yrs old.

66 Moore, Eric DE- camp comp

97 Taylor, Hilee- a meeks DE, could be a 3rd specialist

19 Jackson, Dexter- former 2nd round 2008 pick. could be #4/5 has return skills

80 Jarrett, Dwayne- looked like a real WR when Matt threw him the ball. I think Meshawn got in ears about hating on Jake, so Dwayne had no faith in Jake.

83 Martin, Charly- #4/5 with special team skills

81 Moore, Kenneth- #3 with returner skills, got better each passing day

89 Smith, Steve- #1 nuff said

Wright, Wallace-#5 with special team skill, main comp will be martin.

Not so dire like most make it out. Moore throwing to Jarrett is the wild card. I was a Jarrett supporter for the first two years, but the ray of light was seen in the last game. Five catches for 68 yards and a tounchdown. I'm not saying he can step up and be a true 2, but who knows. Camp with Matt and maybe a miracle happens...

DE, brayton resigning did wonders. For team morale and versatility. Brayton fills two spots rotational DE and long yard DT downs. Taylor could be a sleeper here too, hes had time to learn and grow.

overall not so bad

I agree about the Brayton signing. We now have 3 good quality defensive ends.Hilee Taylor is a DE that fits Meeks system. As long as Brown lives up to expectations our loss of Peppers will be forgoten. Now that we signed Brayton I dont see us drafting a DE unless for depth but WR is clearly our need. I wonder if our staff believes Jackson could be the answer. If our first pick in the draft is a WR that can return kicks then that will answer our question on Jackson

    • Of course, everyone has film. That is probably fresh in their mind though. 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.
