This is really harshing my mellow To be fair, neither he nor Abbrederis played well this preseason. Neither one stood out in the return game either. I think it came down to experience. I wouldn't mind kicking the tired on Victor Cruz and letting Abbrederis go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could defiantly get behind Cruz over abbrederis, as long as he looks fine medically with his knee. Between Abbrederis and Billingsley, I see that Abbrederis has more experience but I just felt and saw Billingsley be more electric when he touched the ball. I wish I had side by side stats for them this preseason, I just can't seem to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDOG_det Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Billingsley isn't good. Not sure why everyone is so heartbroken that he didn't make the roster. Abbrederis is the much better choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can get behind Abbrederis. Abbrederis runs better routes, blocks better, catches the ball better, provides more overall on ST teams, etc. Overall he's just the better player. Fans seemingley fell in love with Billingsley because he's a long shot, not because he's actually good. Abbrederis actually has the potential to provide something to the team. Noel Thomas looked more promising than Billingsley as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nnivolcm Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Detroit Lions lose Brad Kaaya to Panthers, claim 2 offensive linemen Quote Kaaya was claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers. He'll back up Cam Newton and, presumably, Derek Anderson. Quote The Lions lost a second player on the waiver wire, with the Bills winning the rights to tight end Khari Lee. That means notable cuts like receiver Jace Billingsley and linebacker Antwione Williams could return to Detroit on the practice squad. Quote Detroit also won the rights to offensive linemen Zac Kerin (a guard) and Brian Mihalik (a tackle), according to the Detroit News. The club will have to make two corresponding moves to make room for them. Pretty shocked to not have added any DL yet. Hopefully more moves to come.

Zithers2 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 How did Kaaya look? Good enough to become a future Derek Anderson (as in, Cam's long term backup)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Also just read Antwione Williams wasn't signed to the practice squad. How did he go from projected starter to cut from the team so quickly? No Alex Carter either. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
