Tolbert had one carry today

This, to me, was Shula's biggest flaw today. In a game dominated by pouring rain, needing to establish the run and stay balanced, with a lead for much of the game, with Cam struggling to make throws and receivers struggle to make catches, he chose to call Tolbert's number once.

 

Once. One time.

 

Tolbert is one of the best weapons on this team and we pretended he didn't exist. In Shula's defense, Tolbert is best in short yardage and we were facing 3rd-and-longs all day, but still, I don't see how you don't do a better job of incorporating him into the gameplan.

 

Minor complaint, I'm glad we played well enough to win, but I hope we fix this for ATL and our impending playoff game.

I can't pie this enough.

 

in the pouring rain, should have ran Tolbert on first and second down.  Instead, we were determined for the boom or bust of Williams, who was more bust than boom today and was completely ineffective in the second half due to not being able to cut anymore because of weather.  In a way, My mind still doesn't believe this game happened today after the massive amount of heartbreakers we lost the past 2 seasons.

 

All of that said, This game was huge for us, but next week is just as important as this game.  We can rest then, we're 1 week away from being in position to make a super bowl run.

I agree, I was saying this during the game day thread, in the red zone we decided to pass or the 3rd and 2 and I was screaming Tolbert!!!! Tolbert!!!! Guess Shula did not hear me.

In further defense of Shula, we are heavily limited by our offensive line full of my-size barbies and Steve Smith's absence for 3 quarters.

 

meh dwill still got 12 carries, and we had a couple short yardage plays where tolbert seemed to be the one who should get the ball

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
