1984Echoes

I don't think he sucks.

He's looked dreadful for 3 out of 4 years. He only looked good last year because every other Lions CB was even worse. I think the Lions/ Hughes/ Campbell/ Glenn all know that so... Maybe I'm wrong... But I think the team will move on from him. My 2 cents.

I think the team has said that they actually like these guys: Okudah, Jerry Jacobs, Mike Hughes. Guys that they are going to give more chances to/ develop further because they are young/ just drafted/ have upside/ other-similar: Chase Lucas, Khalil Dorsey, AJ Parker, Jarren Williams, Saivion Smith, maybe Bobby Price? I'm not counting Melifonwu as I think they are pushing him at Safety and no longer as CB, or Will Harris who plays a CB/ Safety hybrid position... (although maybe I SHOULD count Harris based on their usage of him...?) One other thing... The guys on this list will easily be replaced by some other undrafted free agent or another team's cast-off... by virtue of being outhustled or by whatever... Meaning that the ones who show the most upside or special teams ability, whether it's these guys or any other guys brought in, will stick. Maybe we get a nickel out of these guys... or not. But this is just bottom of the roster churn. I'm not counting on anything aside from low-level depth... any upside we get is just gravy. But they do fit the narrative of getting to your 90 guys in camp. New guys: I can almost bet we'll spend a 1st on a CB and a 2nd or 3rd on a Safety. So a couple new high-end guys for the secondary. And that Hughes will be very, very open to spending FA money on a high-end CB. That's two new high end CB's for the Lions (IMO) for 2023. Plus whoever we pick up as a 6th rounder, or undrafted, or from other teams... Listen... I think you're just stuck on the devil-you-know and reluctant to let go of someone who clearly needs to move on. I will almost guarantee that AO will NOT be in training camp. This team is moving on from him. Now.

Keep him on the bench sa a 6th man and see how he handles it next training camp and start to the season. If he buys into it and comes back with a vengeance, there's our answer. If he pouts and half asses it... there's our answer.

Nope. No, no, no, no, no. NO! IMO... they'll draft a CB high. Strike 1 against AO. IMO... if they're spending on an outside FA... it'll be on a CB. And they'll shoot high. Strike 2. IMO... they do NOT like/ believe in AO. At all. Strike 3. He's out. Out of the Lions Org for good. IMO. Did I mention the word NO on AO?

That's GOTTA be the 2023 motto. I mean, aside from winning the division and making hay in the playoffs... #BNL or just BNL ...is going to be the new "mantra"...

I think there is a ZERO chance that that happens. Not a NON-zero chance... 0 chance.

First bold: I don't think there's any crazy money in there except for MAYBE Jamaal but... No, not him either. My prediction: we re-sign all these guys. With no drama/ overpayments attached. Second bold: I think Brockers, Harris, and Okwara are definites. I don't think Vatai is, and actually I really hope they hold on to him for 2023...

Couple of minor quibbles...: An OT also goes in the top 5 (IMO) and I don't think it's Anderson that falls... but maybe. So, I think it's most likely between Jalen Carter or Myles Murphy as our choice at #6, with an outside shot at Anderson. All good options, although my choices in order would be Carter, Murphy, then Anderson (I think...). I think AO24 is a UFA. Meaning: we don't resign him and he doesn't even make it to training camp with the Lions.

Good loss. Bey and Stewart (when the time comes) to the 2nd unit as dominating 6th men.

She gets MY vote!!! Wait, what is she running for? Oh... who cares? She gets MY VOTE!!!

It's SO SAD... Instead of putting TFG in prison, where he belongs, instead... we get all of these "reports": Fulton County: "Trump was a bad, bad boy, and should be in prison. But..." Jan 6th: "Trump was a VERY bad boy, and should be in prison. But..." NY Attorney General: "Trump was not very nice, and should be in prison. But..." IRS and NY State Tax Authorities: "Trump FUCKED us, and should be in prison. But..." DOJ: "Trump should just be in prison. But..."

Gotta resign Jamaal IMO, and draft another RB in the 2nd or 3rd...

Yeah... We'll see about that...!

And we haven't even truly UNLEASHED Jameson Williams just quite yet... 2023...!

2023 Lions Season Goal: WIN the NFC NORTH.

PS: 14 yards for Swift!

HOLY SHIT what a F'ing play with the pitchback to Swift AFTER the pass catch!!!

It is... And actually FOURTH INT as the one just earlier got overturned by a hand to the face penalty on Cominsky (I think it was him)...

Haha! Kerby Joseph AGAIN...!!!

Turns on cellphone... And the GPS app.... "Privet Mom, guess where I am?"

I haven't seen anything out of line so far.

Oh yeah... haha! Awesome!

2024 1st for him... yes.

Overall: The Lions are showing that they BELONG in these types of games.
