MCDC nailed when he said that Hendon Hooker just needs reps. His mobility is a big asset. He still has a ways to go but the improvement is noticeable. I hope he plays as early and as much as possible in pre-season game #3. I hope the starters play one series against the Steelers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If high ankle Sprain that's like 6-8 weeks fully recovered simple sprain can linger think it's horrible timing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't often see people with major injuries put the shoe back on once it is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPDATE: Penei Sewell injury news: Lions OT has minor ankle injury - Pride Of Detroit The upshot of his injury and the ankle injury to Dan Skipper is that Colby Sorsdal and Giovanni Manu will get extra reps. That is especially helpful with Manu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Want A Title Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 (edited) It has been quite the ride for James Houston. He provided a tremendous pass-rush spark as a rookie. Then he got hurt last year. I think the Lions have finally figured out that he is just a pass-rushing EDGE. It is tough to get a read on whether or not that is enough to keep him on the roster. He would probably have to have some other role on special teams to stick but it is tough to say. Personally, I think he would find more success on a team that runs a 3-4 defense.

They just need to stop trying to make him a coverage LB and accept the fact that he’s a pure pass rusher. We don’t have that outside of Hutch so not sure why having a guy who fits one of our biggest needs is an issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to have finally figured that out but it sure took a while. This is where AG sometimes makes some head-scratching moves with his players. I think it is a similar situation with Ifeatu Melifonwu. He was playing like one of the best safeties in the league in the last half of the year. He started off training camp really well but his has supposedly fallen off. Clearly, whatever was being done with Iffy worked really well last year. Maybe they don't need to fix what is not broken.
