Training Camp and Preseason Games

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Nice throw by Bridgewater, nice route and catch by Green for the TD!

[MichiganCardinal]

And a fumble recovery to follow! I would want time put back on the clock if this game mattered

[Mr.TaterSalad]

WOW, turnover city for the Lions.

[Motor City Sonics]

Well..........Green, Cota and Drummond all slugging it out for that last WR spot.   2 probably make it with the other going on the practice squad.           This looks like the end for Trinity Benson. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Is Adrian Martinez going to be QB3?

He should be.

I hadn’t seen that Sudfeld got carted off. Reported by Twentymen.

[MichiganCardinal]

Patterson missed the XP

[MichiganCardinal]

woah. I’m the only one in the world watching right now but the Panthers just got BONED on a review.

[holygoat]

I think it was the right call. He lost control of the ball just before kicking the pylon, and didn't have control when he kicked it, so it was a fumble forward into the end-zone.

I don’t think I like the super extended reviews generally. I don’t know how long it actually took but it felt like it took forever.

If it takes more than two minutes, cut the official’s feed and let the call on the field stand. If we are evaluating when the ball was bobbled, when the pylon was touched, when the ball was regained, and where the ball was in relation to the goal line, all at the same time, we are doing too much - letting cameras officiate the game. Let’s just play football.

[holygoat]

It's a pre-season game, so I'm inclined to agree. I'd probably feel differently if it was regular season or playoffs.

they stayed healthy.  mission accomplished for the preseason.

Not Jamo. But yeah, they thankfully didn't have any other major injuries and that is a victory itself.

Given the lack of IOL depth on the team (beyond Glasgow), I wonder if the Lions kick the tires here. He’s been a colossal bust to this point, and if he couldn’t make the Bears he probably can’t cut it here, but Mayock and the Raiders weren’t the only ones with a high grade on him. He started at Alabama and won two National Championships.

no.

the bears are desperate for oline help with multiple interior olineman being injured and they STILL cut leatherwood.

do not bother.

The Bears offensive line sucks but so does their coaching staff. You are probably correct though.

[Shinzaki]

Which waived K is going to be our guy?

[MichiganCardinal]

13 cuts overnight, none surprising. Trinity Benson and Germain Ifedi were on the list though.

[RandyMarsh]

I haven't really been paying attention to things the past few weeks but what's the deal with mentioning Houston here? Has he not looked good in camp and preseason and they feel last year is a fluke or something?

Nate Sudfeld torn ACL

That was really terrible to watch. I feel real bad for Nate Sudfeld. He was in all likelihood making the roster under the NFL's new rules that allow for an emergency gameday QB and now he won't be. Damn!

i thought he looked good during the games.  they have a lot of defensive ends and might see him as too much of a tweener?  or it could be they think he can fetch good value in a trade and they have the position covered?  they might want to keep julian okwara and trading someone from the group is the only way to do it?

or pff is talking out if their butts.

no idea.

[RedRamage]

I'd be very surprised if Houston gets traded. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I think they REALLY like Charles Harris. But the price for Houston has to be enormous. You don’t just trade away someone coming off rookie production like that for pennies.
