I honestly have no idea what to expect from him or how they'll plan on using him along the front. Do they expect him to be more of an everyday player and be in there against the run? Will he be a rotational edge rusher only? Is there an expectation for him to occasionally drop back in coverage as Houston did in a few situations.

TP_Fan Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Carter was injured during practice for what it’s worth. In 15 years all the prep will be classroom and walk throughs. Guys will stay in shape in the gym. Hitting and full speed practices will be a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adullin Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 For some reason Tampa has always given Detroit fits. I remember when Tampa was just bad and they would still split the series with Detroit. I really have no idea what to expect from Tampa.

RandyMarsh Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Gibbs, Branch, Jonah Jackson and Paschal all ruled out. LaPorta questionable. Good news is that St. Brown is back and Decker and Ragnow practiced without restrictions so they seem to be close to 100% after playing banged up most of the year.

MichiganCardinal Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 I really like what they did this year in signing Glasgow. Having six effective offensive linemen has really saved us this year through injury. If we can find a relatively cheap swing OT next year I wouldn’t be opposed to having seven effective starting linemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've gotten little out of our two 1st round picks this year this far and that's been one of the low points in an otherwise tremendous season. I know it's early, but these were two guys I expected to come in and contribute right away. It is especially concerning with Gibbs because after this season, we only have four more years left with him since you shouldn't be paying RBs a second contract.

buddha Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 i expected gibbs to contribute a little more, but not campbell. lions have quality linebackers already. let campbell learn. he's made a couple plays already, but barnes and anzalone are decent starters and rodriguez is a good backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Actually pretty crazy how much damage one bad season (with an injury) and a poor relationship with an egomaniac media doll of a head coach can do to a guy’s national reputation.

holygoat Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Those numbers are much better than I'd have guessed, and I've been all in on re-signing Goff for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McVay had a pretty good PR narrative going for himself. Then when he melted down with Goff and again with the post-Super Bowl crash the media started to recognize he is an egomaniac had poisoned relationships with many of his coaches and players.

Yet Goff has still not been given any substantial credit for the Rams Super Bowl run or for what has turned into a very successful career. With the graphic that Lions PR put out you would think the debate would be "is this QB on track for a HOF career", not "is this QB worthy of an extension" Even now, with Goff being at the helm of the Lions(!!) seemingly successful rebuild, it's like the national media narrative is that they're doing it despite him, or that it's only because he's got a good offensive line and running game. He went into his last game with Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond as his WR1 and WR2 and scored four touchdowns! If he manages to host and win a playoff game here this year, I don't think it's crazy to put him above Matt Stafford and say that Jared Goff is the best QB in Lions history. Look at QB Power Rankings from the preseason though and you'll find Daniel Jones ranked above him. Look at some now and you'll find Brock Purdy ahead of him. I even saw one that had CJ Stroud ahead of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montgomery, one of the best backs in the league right now, is on a second contract. It’s been 6 games and Gibbs isn’t featured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes blew it. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number20 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 It is getting annoying listening to the endless excuses being made for these high picks. I'm still being patient, but players drafted in the 1st round are supposed to be starters. They're supposed to make your team better. Gibbs' impact has been marginal, Jaymo has been zero, Campbell seems more like a 2nd round pick than a 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
