Ah, that's good to know. So essentially it's null and void now with no harm to the Lions. 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.

Must win.

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.

Backup OL, yuck.

Hard to call it a starting offense when the backup QB is in. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The return game looks real solid anyways.

[TP_Fan]

That catch isn’t gonna count, but chase Cota deserves to make the team.

I had read Lawrence was warming up pregame and wasn’t paying close enough attention to realize he didn’t start lol

[Hongbit]

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.

That probably needs to be a stop on 3rd down

[TP_Fan]

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. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Nice little lateral for the INT there.

[TP_Fan]

lol at this backup OL. They tackled teddy before he could even hand it off. Embarrassing effort by this OL group. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Is Bridgewater hurt? He stayed down for an extra beat there

[MichiganCardinal]

He jogged off, probably fine

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Yikes, very pedestrian start from Bridgewater. Even worse performance from our backup offensive line.

Our depth on the offensive line looks terrible. Hopefully we can remain healthy all season, because I have zero confidence in our depth along the line.

[MichiganCardinal]

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.

[TP_Fan]

Cominsky is really good. No need for him to play anymore. 

[MichiganCardinal]

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]

Why is cominsky in the game?  He is bonafide player. He doesn’t need all these reps. Why risk injuring him?

[TP_Fan]

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.  

[Hongbit]

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.

You mean like chad Henne?

[TP_Fan]

Cota is making this team.
