Barner breakout game?


lightsout

Recommended Posts

Barner may well see more touches this game than he has all season. Williams is questionable with that contusion still, last I heard, and Tolbert and Stew are both a little nicked up.

Do you think we put in Barner a good bit and let him get at least an even third of the carries, if not the majority of the carries, for this game? And do you think he finally breaks out and makes a play that makes us all talk about him for the next week?

In my opinion this is how it will play out.

 

Stewart will get first down and second down touches, obviously unless we pass on one of those downs.

 

Tolbert gets third and shorts and goal line carries, as usual. Third and long is a passing down obviously.

 

So where does that leave Barner? Change of pace back with <5 carries in the game, I think. MAYBE 5-10 if he's lucky. Maybe.

I think he should get more carries. I think he could have a breakout game. I just done know how badly he's pissed off River Boat in practice this season.

I think the kid can ball, and I hope we see it it in due time... But in these games that count way too much right now... If Stew and Tolbert are available, I'd rather see the trusted and true guys in there.

If they get more dinged up... It's next man up. I hope he's ready!!

would love to see a breakout game from the rook today.  we really are banged up this week at rb with stew and tolbert limited all week.  wonder if its just a precautionary type deal and we see a good game from both stew and tolbert and barner gets maybe 3 or 4 touches but "does some nice things"

I think that Cam will have to win us this game with his arm (against a stout secondary) and his legs. Ginn better not drop another bomb for 6 in this game.

Defense will have their work cut out for them if we can't get the running game going early. Loo for Cam to go to Smitty/Olsen early and often to get into a rhythm, and God help all of our nerves tomorrow if he starts throwing high on our first drive.

Just get us to next week in a position to take the Division!!!!!!!!!

If we need him to make plays for us to win this game then we are in trouble. Hope the kid breaks out but it's not going to be today.

Oh, I'm not saying we NEED him to breakout, but given how banged up our RB stable is, this could be his chance to do some damage (unless we've just been taking precautionary measures with them this week). I think we'll make plays elsewhere and I think Cam has one of his better games of the year (and we may need him to).

Agreed. Cams going to have to play well today for us to win this game. I think it's going to be a battle today.

As far as Barner....I'd be satisfied to see him make a play where he doesn't look like a deer in headlights.

    • I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
