I think the relationship is about mutual. Deangelo wouldn't have had all those long runs in 08 if it wasn't for him being a badass. Our line isn't that old at all. Gross is the only one in his 30's if I'm not mistaken. Wharton will last a good while longer. We just need to shore up RG and draft or sign a tackle with some potential so that we can groom him in the event one of the tackle's goes down.

Schwartz can be a good RG and a suitable tackle. What we really need is for Duke Robinson to emerge and maul people with Otah. That will solve a lot of depth problems.

Deangelo had some badass blocking in 2008 - linemen were already putting linebackers on their butts by the time DWill hit the line of scrimmage. Moose and Smitty weren't exactly slouches in the blocking department.

Moose is gone and people want to trade Smitty for whatever reason - its gonna let safeties do what they couldn't do before. Jeff King is a good blocker, but I think he really missed having Moose close off the outside.

I'm not sure if I ever liked Gross at LT. He was so good on the right side. When it was clear Otah wasn't coming back, we should have looked for a LT in free agency and moved Gross back. That would have taken a lot of pressure off Schwartz and allowed Kalil to do what he does.

I agree that Gross should have been moved to RT. I'm just wondering what Otah's future will eventually be. When he was drafted I'm pretty sure it was with the potential to take over LT after a few seasons. However with his health I'm not sure what the game plan is.

      Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).
