   Is it just me or have we moved away from using the pistol? We had a few games(I want to say during the Giants,Minny, maybe Rams) that we used  it and Cam looked good out of that set. But I don't remember seeing it the last 5-6 games or if I have it was 1 play or so.  If I have a beef with Shula it's that he goes away from something that is working whereas the Pats, Saints, etc smell blood when they find something that's working against you and beat you over the head with it until you stop it. And it's not that I'm in love with that formation specifically but their are times we put Cam in sets that he obviously looks more comfortable in but we move away from them really easily in favor of standing Cam back there in a 5 -7 step drop. In general I've seen less bunch formations, motion, basically the things that  were helping our Wr's get into space earlier in the season.

We don't run 4 receivers because receivers don't pass protect. Even if Olsen goes out on a route he chips a pass rusher, same with Tolbert. We don't have a dominant offensive line so we need our backs and TEs to at least be a schematic blocking threat.

 

Everyone hates the wildcat because it's boring but it's usually good for 3-5 yards. It's not a negative play, it just doesn't have a high ceiling.

 

Don't expect our offense to reinvent the wheel. It's not gonna happen on December 26th. I am very pleased with our offense, we are deficient at offensive line and receiver yet we score enough points to win. Our offense could put up more points at the risk of turnovers. You saw when the chips were down Cam took chances, he threw guys open and made plays down field. But to do that on every drive will result in interceptions.

I would love to see more options used. 

 

Brees threw to 9 different guys in the first half vs us

 

We HAVE weapons... but for some reason I never see them even tried to being used.. Brandon Williams... Taveres King... Barner.. never used for passing. Dunno man.. Dunno...

 

We have the members.

It's a numbers game. All of those guys you named have been inactive a ton. Barner has looked very poor when we used him. Harstock and Brockel are active when healthy and not considered weapons. Tavares King is a rookie and we don't go 4 wide. We go 3 wide but not as often as most teams. You are comparing us to a Sean Payton offense but our OC is Mike Shula. Just think about that.

It seems to be that a wild cat play would have its asset in the unpredictable nature of what would happen after the ball is snapped...........but in our case its always the same thing...........Williams in a running play right into the line.

 

What is so unpredictable to a defense with that?

 

Are we waiting for the NFC champ game or the SB to really fool someone??...........(sarcasm off)

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
