Lol. Same thing we have always been during the Tepper era.

Game one against a very good defense, how about just look better than Miles Sanders? Let's start there.

baby steps.

i don't think it will take very much, though. 

it was encouraging to hear some of the other players talking about Brooks and how they are excited to see him in the game. Apparently they like what they have been seeing in practice. XL was saying that he and Chuba are pretty similar, but Brooks is faster.

i don't think they've ever said anything good about Miles.

I think we are gonna see him take Sanders' snaps, basically. If he doesn't look better than that, whoa.

Seems right. I think people seem to think sanders was being used more than he was. Sanders has 38 carries and 26 rec targets to date. that amounts to roughly 3-4 carries a game and 2-3 targets a game. 5-6 touches sounds about right.

i'm going ooal.

12 carries, 75 yards (i see him breaking of for a big one), and a TD

5 catches, 25 yards

yes....100 all purpose yards and a TD.

and that's just getting him started. 

 

Considering the defense we are playing that would be one of the best rookie debuts for a RB in franchise history, so I quite highly doubt that.

It would be great to see, though.

If he is doing that by Game 17, that's just fine. That's successful.

If Brooks gets injured then it just is what it is. It wouldn't make the top 20 disasters of the season. Also, he's a RB. They do get injured at higher rates than most positions.

If he gets injured on a very limited snapcount after taking half the season off it was probably never going to work out anyway

I'm excited for him to play, no matter the touches.  Only optimism about this kid.  True dual threat - don't expect a big sample size this week but it's good to see.

i think he's going to prove himself to be a really good target. that's where i think he's really going to shine.

I'm pretty excited about it. I think he kills it.

And seriously, fug you injury asshats

Yep

Here’s hoping

one thing about Canales that i think needs to improve 

he does a total ‘tell’ on the play call  with  his  personnel groupings

The  Chief’s  defense is quite good

this game is also a ‘tell’ on Canales…how good of a play caller is he..how good of a HC against one of the best coaching staffs in the league 

…this game isnt just a barometer for Young….if we pay attention, we will learn a lot about Dave

Looking forward to seeing him. We're going to have to lean heavily on the run game and if we could have two guys running like Chuba has been, then we're going to be in good shape going forward.

Probably no way we're winning this week, but I just hope we can show a team that is moving in the right direction out there.

Little victories, those would be nice.

But good luck to the young man. I hope he's brave enough to perform up to his capabilities. Coming off an injury is tough on the confidence.

Honestly, we are gonna need to pass in this game. This is the 3rd ranked rushing defense but the 16th ranked passing defense.

So our strength is going against their strength.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
