Domenik Hixon...It's Time.

I don't think Hixon is the Answer.

 

but also, I don't think our run game is that bad. We aren't great.... but the whole season the opposing team has played "stop the run, make Cam pass".

 

that's gotten to where the Run game has been stopped, and predictably, the 3rd and longs are all out blitzes. that for some reason we call plays where Cam can't dump the ball off quick... we look for 15+ down the field and it's to late then.

 

Blah... we just need to work with what we have at the moment, and worry about who's on the team next season... after the season.

And I don't believe Hixon will be one of those players.

Hell, why not?  It's not like the guys currently playing are getting the job done.

 

But this run game that you speak of...

 

Our problem is we have three possession receivers (Smith, Olsen, LaFell) and only one [inconsistent] deep-ball threat (Ginn). How does incorporating another possession receiver help anything?

Lol I made this thread real early in the year and got trashed sooo bad

 

Thats the diff tween us and N.O. If you can catch, you're getting on the field and getting the ball. They had like 10 people with a reception last night. In today's NFL you can never have too many options

 

If it was me, play Brandon Williams too. It's not just a coincidence we're ranked almost dead last in team passing, that's terrible

I made this thread like 3 or 4 weeks ago and everybody just tore my ass up LMAO how things change so fast around here.

Right now no one is getting open.  If he can get open, then that would help.  I'm not saying he can, I'm just saying the guys we're playing right now aren't.

Hello, long time lurker first time poster here.  You guys probably don't give 2 poo's about this opinion, but here goes.  There is nobody in our receiving corp who can out-muscle most the other DB's who are playing in the league right now.  I know smitty is a physical guy, but he doesn't have the size or the hops to hold his own unless he's nearly unguarded.  And I'm not talking about low, in the chest, shots like what got us a TD in garbage time last night.  There are so many other teams who have at least one receiver who can, and does catch garbage...high throws, one handed catches falling backwards with 2 defenders draped all over them...  Our guys can't hold onto the long ball to save their ass usually, especially, when it's mission critical that they make the play (I'm looking at you, Lafell). Cam has gotten rusty after airing it out the first couple of seasons because there is no reason to trust those guys to make the catch.  Which is a shame, because we could have a very dynamic, high powered offense if we had real play-makers instead of bit players.  Here's to hoping these problems are as glaring to the FO as it is to the fans.

Winning Blinds or clouds peoples judgement, alot of things stated earlier this seasons got expose yesterday but i guess everyone forgot since we were on a 8 game streak. Lafell from a effort standpoint didn't do good, and ginn got pushed around vs man coverage and dropped a couple, not calling for there heads though.

    • 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.
