Defense too.

Eh, I'm not sure that Taylor is a better defender than Taylor. I guess that remains to be seen though. Taylor has been our best defender so far this season though.

Sidenote: Kemba is really struggling at the rim these last 5 games or so. He's just throwing up wild shots more often than not.

Only reason Kemba struggles at the rim is because he doesn't get the same treatment as other players do when they drive. None of the Cats do and it will continue to be this way until we prove that we are a contender.

His on ball defense is better than Hendo's.

I like Henderson but I wouldn't be opposed to him coming off the bench. Our second unit could use a solid veteran player like Hendo. Taylor seems to be relishing the starting role.

Really, playing down the stretch is all that matters. Dunlap will play the hot hand and who compliments each other.

That's not completely true in my opinion. Kemba throws up a ton of wild shots at the rim. He does get fouled a lot with a ton of no-calls, but at least half of his misses are just really bad shots.

Also, this is getting depressing... turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover... fug.

See I blame it more on him being able to throw the ball up, I know when I played that if you were able to get the ball up then you weren't gonna get the call, I was always taught to go through the contact rather than alter your shot around the contact (like Walker does).

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
