Karnage84 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Chicago just signed Perriman to a one year deal. We are going to get two first hand looks at whether Holmes is on the right track or not. For a Lions roster devoid of talent, especially at the WR position, it would be a really big deal if Perriman winds up contributing in Chicago in a meaningful way.

Karnage84 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I might be in the minority but I would like for us to kick the tires on Royce Freeman. I liked him a lot coming out of Oregon. He's a big back and averaging 4 yards a carry. We could do worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Igwebuike will be heavily used in special teams. Does Freeman have any value there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson looked like he would be OK as the RB3, and the 4th guy is only going to matter on special teams or if someone gets hurt. If someone gets hurt you might as well bring someone in. I would like to see someone added at WR. I like some of the guys like we have, but besides Williams they're pretty much all best suited for the slot. We don't really have anyone else that's a great fit on the outside, which gets especially scary when you consider Williams and his history of injuries. If he goes down you're suddenly forcing a lot of guys into roles that they don't fit, and to some extent we might be doing that already.

Freeman (159 Snaps > Pro Football Reference; below adds up to 157) in 2020 Kick Coverage: 57 (L2 - 18; R2 - 21) Kick Return: 57 (LB - 35; RB - 22) Punt Coverage: 21 Punt Return: 22 Guessing he's more of a blocker on ST. I don't see anything about PR or KR yards. Edited September 1, 2021 by Karnage84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
