Why Rivera was the right hire?

Don't be too certain about that

Exactly...all we have is the system, the foundation, not sure we have all the peices here (i.e. players) to make it work just yet. That will come in time but don't expect a #1 defense next season.

Offence will take a lot long I suspect with no decent available QB's out there.

But but, Sean McDermont took over for Jimmy Johnson.

Well D was good last year for the defense we were running and how the offense was. Im not sure how good our personnel really is with the Jim Johnson 4-3 scheme.

That's my point. Different system all together. Most of our players may do well but it's not certain that they all will thrive in this syatem.

If you read the Chargers boards you read about how Rivera took average talent and made them into the #1 D in the NFL. I am hoping he can do that here. I think we have good talent at LB (w/ TD healthy). Everywhere else we are average or worse. Of course drafting a solid DT or two could give us a respectable DL in a hurry. DBs would probably be OK if we were getting more pressure up front.

Correct and it will just have to play out. Rivera will get the most out of these guys I have no doubt but will it be good enough for him. We will see with the draft and FA what he thinks of the players he has on the team. That should give us a clue as to what may be ecpected with the D.

      Hornets Screwed in NBA Draft Lottey...Again

      By Ronnie Bass · Posted

      I agree it does seem the league is against Charlotte but the picks they've made have been questionable. They've had sure fire picks fall to them and they keep trying to build a army of forwards who cannot shoot for some reason lol. You got to make a move in offseason and or trade for scoring. I get the best aren't coming to Charlotte but theres been opportunities at solid players with experience, that would've come just to be the man here in Charlotte. They got to stop over thinking this in the draft too. Take the best scorers available! I'm hearing we need more size on the wing, a big man, great defender, etc. but nothing about scoring or a shot creator. This team has been terrible at shooting the rock especially from the perimeter and its a iso 3 ball league, no one plays defense or really runs an offense. This franchise does not do well with developing players either. I've seen too many guys take huge leaps once they were away from Charlotte which is concerning. And even more concering that they're taking developmental guys when they have no business doing so. So, All that to say take a proven scorer, high basketball IQ guy, a unpolished player will not survive here.
