Offensive line play is boosted by continuity the more they play together the better it gets.

Sure but it's mostly boosted by having good players on it.

That said, I think it's kind of a wash between these two guys.  It makes sense to burn the low durability guy first, rather than to keep him up your sleeve as a last resort.  I'd rather have my backup not be coming off of 3 season ending injuries.  But if Corbett can keep it together the whole year, then that's great.

Might just see the team go into the season with only 9 on the OL (Icky, DLew, Corbett, Hunt, TMo, BC, Zavala, Mays, Nijman) and then target OT early in the draft if it looks like TMo is done in Carolina after this season.

Still would like to see the team draft a center in the upcoming draft... decent looking class heading into the college season. 😮

Well, NFL Trade Rumors could be wrong, I don't know. Maybe they're referring to a different list or something. That aside, he's still middling (but I guess some players have to be).

Different snap count requirements i belive that one was out of 35! Thanks

Ummm okay. I guess? We will see. I think both are good players when healthy.

I didn't post those screenshots. You did.

AND the screen shot i posted had a data size of 64 players who took snaps... hence why I'm trying to understand how you are calling him bad for being 19th and saying there are 32 starters (obviously) the data set is out of 64 players however putting him top 3rd. Not "below average" as you claimed.

Then post the starters and prove that to be incorrect. It's your dataset.

You could argue it's smarter to start Corbett on opening day, because Mays will have to relieve him at some point.  If you start Mays, and then he gets hurt, Corbett could very well come in and leave on a stretcher the same week in relief.

At least if you get Corbett's availability out of the way first, it becomes a known variable.  And Mays is rested and ready to finish the campaign.

this is true and hilarious at the same time

Well then go dig through it and post the rankings for starters, bub. 

You can't post the data, then start crying when people use it the way it is posted.

 

Ummm you didn't unless your really bad at fraction conversation....

The below average comment shows you also dont know how PFF rankings are scaled 60 is an Average Starter.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
