1984Echoes

That does not make you NOT an atrocious, grotesque bigot.

I think so too... But I'm interested in keeping all options open just in case Holmes/DC "discover" a couple different guys for the outside. Just thinking "outside" the box for a minute...

Shift Reed to nickel and have Itzien play SS. No guarantees but...

Too much WHINGING right now. It's so annoying. I would call it "Premature Ejaculation". And the WHINGING over every single free agent that we did NOT sign... "Penus Envy." OVERWROUGHT Penus Envy. It's ONLY the 4th freaking day of free agency. I agree with you 100%. Holmes is of course being slow, methodical, budget-conscious, and selecting ONLY those guys that fit the Lions personality AND aren't outrageously over-priced. We still have: A) The REST of this Free Agency. B) The Draft. C) The SECOND wave of free agency in which a ton of expensive veterans will be dropped by teams AFTER the draft. Just too damn much WHINGING going on right now... YeeGADS!!! (changing the spelling allows my intentions to be posted even if misspelled...)

A good backup for LaPorta and may get some play for the Lions with Petzing. Hoping for 2023-24 production reprisal...

FYI: That would be wood that you chopped for your wood-burning stove... in the basement... ducted into your central heating system. Coal is so 1920's, at least get your modern wood-burning stove nowadays... Like a real 'Murican.

Which we all are, BTW... At the moment. Except for Naziholic.

I went to the UK last year to see my sister/BIL/nephew&family(is it called great nephew for little 4 YO Andre' ...?) And... Every Brit I came across (cashier/ pub patron/ etc...) I asked: "Do you take American political refugees? I need a way out of the insanity..." It was good for a laugh and they all laughed and came up with their own "plan of escape" for a poor American political refugee.

I'd still be interested in him on a vet min... Pending physical/ medicals...

Disheartening. The Wings were fun to watch until mid-February... Still catching a game here and there but... They don't look good. And since then: I'd rather spend my time watching the Pistons at this point...

Same this year... As the past 3 years. From Trade Deadline (or thereabouts) to the end of the season... Wilted Wings Washout.

Disposability. Roster spot. And replaceability. That's 3 aside from hitting RH'ers... Hmmm...

Sort of like Disney's Princess Tiana Bayou Adventure... What a Ride!!!

President Dumb****Drumph's Iranian (You Brainless Jackass) Misadventure.

I'm just going to WAG that in the 1st two rounds of this year's NFL draft... The Lions will draft a... LT, and a DE. Not necessarily in that order.

He hasn't been the same since he broke his fibula... But this will be his 3rd year after that so if he's going to get back to any explosiveness that he used to have... Now would be the time So... We'll see.

That's an interesting thought also... Especially the kickoff returns as they are currently constructed...

Another guy I'd love to bring back to the Lions.

I'd like Malcolm, Maddox and Rock Ya-Sin back as 1st line of (backup) defense depth pieces. Zylstra too but I think Holmes/ DC will be looking for TE upgrades this offseason. Reader is a maybe to me... Khalif already signed elsewhere and I think the Lions are relying on who they already have but also... to me... I'd rather not spend the money on Khalif if we are looking to shave some money somewhere. I think Holmes can find cheaper 6th/7th/UDFA's who specialize in the return game to replace him cheaply... But it would definitely be beneficial to get Malcolm, Maddox & Ya-Sin back... IMO.

I could see this... And I would love it too. About time we get at least one CB above 6'. Woolen at 6' 4" is not just a tall guy either... He can play.

A'Shawn Robinson released. Sign him up as a rotational DT/ Depth-DT? He's 31 so he's not getting a major starting gig... I think. But he's been healthy and productive...

COACH HIM UP!!!

And here's the next point: In which ****ing universe are the Iranians NOW going to give up their nuclear goals? NUNCA! Iran will NEVER (now that Trump has shown how belligerent America can be (under his leadership that is...)) give up its nuclear aspirations. They will now see, as North Korea saw, that they MUST have nuclear bombs as an existential necessity.

I'd like to grab Justin Fields on a Tua contract... Maybe even for 2 or 3 years... Low salary but a large bonus for every start he makes... understanding that Goff is the #1 and he might not get any starts... But I think our staff could "rehabilitate" him... and he could "show" in preseason and/or any injury games he had to cover for Goff. We either have a pretty good backup... or another team decides to take a second chance with him and makes us an offer... A mid-round pick still has value to Brad Holmes... Just thinking out loud...

I wanted Kwity Paye but not at $16 mill AAV? WTF? He ain't worth that much. Maybe half that at best as a run-stopping DE that doesn't generate a whole lot of pass-rush but can walk into a few sacks... I wanted him as a placeholder for Faulk or Zion Young and as a quality depth guy... But $16 mill AAV? Yeesh!!!
