Levi's played one full season in the four seasons he's been here and they keep bringing him back. If Davenport was out all of last year, I could see it being the case that he doesn't get brought back. But given that he played some during the beginning and ends of the season, I do think there's a real shot they give him one last chance. Especially true if they don't bring back Muhammad I think.

Pride of Detroit: Ranking the Detroit Lions’ 2026 free agents by importance of re-signing Pride of Detroit put out a list of all the Lions pending free agents and their order of importance as to bringing them back or not. I know this list is the editor of POD's own personal opinion, but I don't think it is based in reality. They have Marcus Davenport and Josh Paschal ranked way too low towards the bottom. I for sure think Paschal is coming back, because this organization values its own guys quite a bit. I would not be surprised if we see Marcus Davenport back either, which is why I would move him higher up the list. On a very cheap deal, I think they'd be willing to give Davenport another shot.

It's tragically ironic to me that it's the all life is sacred, pro life crowd that thinks shooting a human being three times in the head and face is justifiable simply for driving away from an ICE Agent or member of law enforcement. However, aborting an unborn fetus is a mortal sin that will damn you for eternity. So if that fetus doesn't get aborted and grows up as a human being and at some point in their life drives away from a law enforcement official they should be gunned down and shot for it as many times as that law enforcement official sees fit? Nothing says all life is sacred quite like shooting someone three times in the head and face.

One of the most injured teams in the regular season, and now the playoffs, just beat the Eagles on the road. Any Lions fan saying injuries were why our season went south need only look at the 49'ers. They were missing multiple starters today and George Kittle went out mid game. They went out and won a playoff game on the road.

Wilhelm Keitel Noem there. What the actual Nazi **** is that slogan?

If only Ashli Babbitt would have just complied.

Are there any college OCs you'd be interested in the Lions interviewing? After tonight's ass kicking by Indiana to Oregon, I'm alright with the Lions at least exploring the idea of interviewing Shanahan for the OC role.

Can the Lions hire Indiana's OC Mike Shanahan? His offensive is laying a beatdown on Oregon tonight. Moore can't stop turning the ball over too.

I'm being semi-serious when I ask this, but what about hiring Indiana's OC Mike Shanahan?

Look, I've famously crapped on a Lions starting QB over the years and was over-the-top critical of one Matthew Stafford. I wanted him run out of town. He turned around after leaving Detroit and proved me to be a fool. He proved me wrong about his QB ability and just how much a team could with with him as their starting QB. I'm not making that same mistake twice. While there were individual games and moments throughout the season where Goff looked bad (the Eagles game comes to mind) he had a very good season in total. He had a career low in INTs, had his second highest season in total TDs with 34 and his second highest passer rating of his career at 105. He also had a very respectable QBR of 58 and a near 70% completion %. Goff's offensive line was the problem. Goff's lack of a running game, at times, to help him open up play action was a problem. The play calling Goff had to work with from John Morton was a problem at times. But Jared Goff himself was rarely ever the main problem. If you moved on from Goff there would be a minimum of 15 suitors who would lineup and likely inquire about bringing him in to be their starting QB.

Based off of the logic of this situation presented by the right, officers in the Scheffler case would have had every right to discharge their weapon on him and kill him. Would have been entirely self defense and justifiable.

If this woman's killing was justified, than is an officer in the future justified to pull out a weapon at every traffic stop and discharge it at anyone who attempts to drive away from the scene? Is that the new standard? Attempt to flee in any capacity in a vehicle and you will be gunned down?

Or driving through a crowd of people in Charlottesville.

From the DOJ's own guidelines on their website. Now, maybe DOJ law enforcement officials have different training and standards than ICE officials under Homeland Security. But I suspect they would and should align. 1-16.200 - USE OF DEADLY FORCE AND PROHIBITED RESTRAINT TECHNIQUES A. Deadly Force Law enforcement and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person. Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect. Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force. If feasible and if to do so would not increase the danger to the officer or others, a verbal warning to submit to the authority of the officer shall be given prior to the use of deadly force. Warning shots are not permitted outside of the prison context. Officers will be trained in alternative methods and tactics for handling resisting subjects, which must be used when the use of deadly force is not authorized by this policy. Deadly force should not be used against persons whose actions are a threat solely to themselves or property unless an individual poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others in close proximity.

I don't know how you can watch that video that was released today and say that Renee Good was trying to run him over. She cuts the wheel in the opposite direction, not towards the officer. She didn't cut it towards him and try to side swipe him. She didn't attempt to backup the SUV and go at him either. And also her demeanor isn't one of a scary, enraged person, attempting to harm someone. Now, you can be calm and collected and still carry out a violent act, but that doesn't appear to be the case at all here.

Does "same approach as last year" at the Edge position mean Marcus Davenport is back again? Because that was their approach last season. As for the "position wasn't ignored in the draft it just didn't come together" comment about Edge, I guess a guy they like didn't fall to them and so they didn't make a pick. To some fans, they will see not drafting one as ignoring it or at least inactivity. Remember, they could have drafted Mike Green, but chose not to draft him. Now Green didn't light the world on fire as a rookie, but he was touted as one of the best pure pass rushers coming into the draft. I certainly recognize though that Mike Green doesn't check the culture fit box for the organization and was never likely an option given the sexual assault allegations in his past.

Wrong thread.

Maybe Holmes and Campbell are changing their tune this offseason and will look outside the organization for help. I love seeing this at least being reported that the Lions are looking in a different direction.

Stefanski is still my top choice, but McDaniel would probably be number two on that list. I agree with the sentiment though that both are somewhat likely to get head coaching jobs. If not though, they are my first two calls. Seeing what Stefanski could do with a real QB and weapons like St. Brown, Williams, Gibbs, and LaPorta (?, maybe, if he's healthy) would be intriguing. I'm sure he'd love having access to guys like that too as opposed to Jerry Jeudy, Harold Fannin, and Quinshon Judkins being his best weapons in Cleveland.

There were four guys I remember wanting over Danielson at the time: Zach Benson, Colby Barlow, Matthew Wood, and Dalibor Dvorsky. None of them are lighting the world on fire thus far. Two of them aren't even in the NHL yet in Barlow and Dvorsky. I don't know if a 5'10, small winger like Benson was really what we needed, but I was intrigued by his ability to put the puck in the net as a 98 point guy in the WHL.

Prayer my ass. You got paid more money to go to LSU. Just be upfront and say the real reason you made the switch.

If Harbaugh is out, does this mean Todd Monken is available? Will he just follow Harbaugh to wherever he goes next and be his OC there?

Damn, Michigan may have wanted to wait a week on that coaching hire.

Would you have preferred another Harbaugh over Whittingham?

I think it's a serious story, yes. But the person supposedly being transgendered has nothing to do with it. When an individual gunned down Melissa Hortman and her husband in there home I didn't go around posting articles about him being a straight man. So what does this person being trans have anything to do with the crime they committed?
