None other than Mr Kelly Tripucka!! I said hello to him and he shook my hand and said he was really excited the Hornets were back and that it was good for the city.

Pretty cool. Seems like a cool guy and could have easily blown me off. One of my all-time favorite Hornets (although I say that about just about everybody :P)

I got to meet Robert Reid very briefly too. Just a simple hello though

Week off to a banging start.

I am just going to update my experiences over the week here, feel free to read or not.

 

Me too.

 

Dear diary, I saw Kony Ealy this week at a sushi restaurant in midtown. He was decked out in all Chicago Bulls clothes. I could tell he was a Panther but couldn't tell which one. After he left I asked the guy working there who he was and he called him Tony. That's when I realized exactly who it was.

 

Also... my week has been nice other than that. I went to a concert in Asheville where 7 people OD'd and the cops ended it early because people were throwing bottles at the cops or something. Unfortunately everyone survived. I think the cops lied because they were only selling beer in plastic cups at the venue. Pretty good show other than that.

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
