I honestly don't think we are gonna make it back to the playoffs. I don't have much faith in D.J.

Hope he proves me wrong.

Go Cats!!!

If D.J plays like he did in the preseason, we wont miss Felton at all. I say that as a UNC fan.

But if D.J struggles, expect a trade...

With that said, I don't expect the 'Cats to win this game just because of their history against Dallas.

I don't expect a win, but I do expect a close loss.

D.J has surely made me a believer this preseason. The sooner he plays without LB riding his coattails the better.

Captain Jack has looked the usual this preseaon, but I definitely see a more explosive step in his offensive game, especially when he's down-low. Which he was terrible at last season.

Wallace pretty much played the preseason with the lulz. I wouldn't read to much into his crappy stats.

Tyrus looked above average this preseason. His sheer energy, effort, and athletic dominance is going to translate very well into this season.

My breakout player of the year is going to be Derrick Brown. His Preseason play was astounding, his quick hands, athletic ability, and shooting ability is going to form him into a good player in this league. If Larry Brown doesn't work Wallace for 40+ minutes a game like last year he definitely needs to give Brown 20+.

And trade Diaw while he's still worth something. I can't stomach the fact that he's going to be stealing minutes from Tyrus again this year, due to Larry's stubborn ass.

Long story short, while the Bobcats hardly improved in any category this summer (Center position :blargh: ) I can see a repeat of last year if they're to stick with the current roster for the rest of the summer (knowing Larry I highly doubt this)

I'm optimistic for a hard fought game on Wednesday.

Stack Jack tweaked a tendon in his ankle. But he says he'll be "ready" for tomorrow's opener.

Coach Larry Brown said he was “alarmed,” fearing his top scorer from last season had hurt his Achilles’ tendon. Jackson, who rarely sits out a drill, hobbled to the sideline and was later spotted with his ankle elevated and wrapped.

But soon trainer Steve Stricker had good news: Jackson had only a strained tendon in his left ankle.

“It’s getting better now, nothing serious,” Jackson insisted. “I’ll be ready to go” Wednesday.

i think we win tonight. also think we make the playoffs again this year. the one thing we do well is play d & very few teams put forth the effort we do every game. the only teams clearly better than us currently are the heat,celtics,magic,bulls & maybe the bucks& hawks. so we should be in the thick of things in the east. if we get decent play at the point & center position we could surprise alot of people this year.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
