MacReady Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Watt got off to a quick start in his first preseason game. Even though I didn't want want us to take him, I can't help but feel like I'm going to constantly compare his career and King's career going forward. I would feel so much better about this defense if we had taken Watt and a corner instead of Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how anyone can look back on it as a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this season, but not going forward. We heard nonstop how deep this draft was at corner. I think House was a big enough upgrade at corner for this coming season.

Even straight up I think King would have been the better pick, but adding Beigel too, makes that an easy slam dunk win for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Lions just look like they lost DE Kerry Hyder to an achilles injury. Went down without contact and was carted off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehawk Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Former 2nd Round pick from last season, K Roberto Aguayo was released by the Bucs and picked up by the Bears. Here's to hoping he continues to blow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like Biegel to get on the field. Hope the foot thing isn't a consistent issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two statements are connected. The longer GB waits, the better the chances for a complete recovery. Dez came back too soon and so did Watkins and they both had setbacks because of it.

ThatJerkDave Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I just watched this 2008 Lions "highlight." 1. The entire NFCN was garbage in 2008. 2. The 2008 Detroit Lions, while awful, were really unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Just talking about the Cobb to Patriots trade made me take a look at the Patriots roster. Where is their pass rush? Their entire front seven has 97 career sacks. The breakdown of where those sacks comes from is even more alarming. 8 sacks have come from their defensive ends, 12.5 have come from their outside linebackers, 24 from their interior linemen and 52.5 of their player's career sacks have come from the inside linebacker position. Really though... Who do they have as a pass rusher? An outside pass rusher? Trey Flowers is literally the only one I see that looks remotely capable. Is it pretty much a guarantee they're going after Brooks or somebody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Knew I remembered Meredith. He had a hell of a night against us last year. He was also turning into a good receiver looked like. Nearly 900 yards last year as a second year undrafted pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
