What we all know and need to accept---Coaching, OL, & Playmakers

Other than our current abysmal right side line and limited receiving threats....the other thing we have never truly had (even though at times we were close with Chud yr.1 and two true receiving TEs) is an offense built for & around our players rather than forcing our best into a specific way.    

 

What I see is an above average offensive unit that cannot be used properly.  Today, it was a bad version of Dan Henning offense with a handful of option looks.  

 

When you look at our biggest weaknesses, they are some of the worst possible areas in the NFL to have a weakness at:

 

Coaching -- crunch time mentality, ability to win close games, game plan, playbook 

OL -- our right side is just downright abysmal  

Playmakers - Offense) Cam, Smitty...(we have solid role players in Olsen and Williams but they are not playmakers)  |Defense) ...

 

These three combined shows why we can't win close games or remotely make a statement to the NFL.  I can't recall a single game under Rivera where a win really felt like a statement to the rest of the league outside maybe the late in the year Falcons game when our season was already in the sh*tter.  

 

I'm rooting for us every game this season but the poor coaching, OL, and big play ability is teh problemo

 

go team!

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
