I didn't want this to be the Benson trade all over. Yes, it was contingent on him making the roster. However, even if it wasn't... it's only a swap of 6th round for a 7th round. That wouldn't have been the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Lions backup defense has held their own so far against the Jags starting offense, notwithstanding a long pass that TLaw put on a dime despite Chase Lucas draping the receiver in coverage.

Hard to call it a starting offense when the backup QB is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Someone needs to tell Devin Gardner that one foot tapped twice is not a catch. Props though as he sounded super confident that he was right when he said it. Edited August 19, 2023 by Hongbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 That probably needs to be a stop on 3rd down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP_Fan Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 3 possession for teddy led offense. Zero first downs thus far. He has made some nice throws. benson can’t catch. Cota was just out of bounds. The OL is god awful. Stephen Gilmore with the pick. He has played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Yikes, very pedestrian start from Bridgewater. Even worse performance from our backup offensive line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 In fairness to the OL, we aren’t playing any of our top six linemen. Glasgow is probably our backup IOL, so he’ll play if any of Jackson/Ragnow/Big V are out, and he’s not playing today either. Matt Nelson is our backup OT, and I think he’s in, but he doesn’t look like the problem, it’s the IOL. We will be okay as long as we aren’t losing multiple linemen. And most (if not all) teams would be screwed if they’re losing multiple starting linemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP_Fan Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Cominsky is really good. No need for him to play anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 FWIW this was posted pregame. If we are being honest with ourselves, when the greatest beef amongst fans is switching from “our backup QB isn’t good enough!” To “our backup interior offensive linemen aren’t good enough!”, you probably have a really good team.

TP_Fan Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Why is cominsky in the game? He is bonafide player. He doesn’t need all these reps. Why risk injuring him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP_Fan Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Drummond has to catch that. Another quick 3 and out. The back up offense has done nothing. Drummonds story is going the wrong way. That was a relatively easy catch and he just dropped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Still can’t believe it’s taken the league 7 years to figure out Nate Sudfeld is not an an NFL QB. It pays to look the part and be white. He’s like the QB version of Matt Nelson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
