Motown Bombers Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 If Laporta plays, I have to think the line would move to the Lions. Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Just boarded my flight out of grand forks. Will be landing in Detroit this evening, barring any weather interruptions. My brother lives in Ann Arbor, looks like there is a parade tomorrow too! Lets ****ing go. 1 Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Looks like it’s gonna be cold enough to freeze your nipples on Sunday. Might be a bar day instead of a tailgating day. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Kyle on Good Morning Football was giving the Lions major love, big time. He called for the Lions to beat LA and then go into Dallas and win AGAIN. His words... All of the talking heads love the Lions. 2 picked Detroit and 2 picked the Rams. But even the ones who picked the Rams said Detroit may very well win. This game is a toss-up. But Detroit needs to win this game SO BAD!! Quote
RandyMarsh Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Still looks more athletic than Hockenson did when he was here. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Laporta running the same drills as the other TEs. Mitchell is absent so we really need Laporta back. 1 Quote

Motown Bombers Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 To be fair, it's going to be dangerously cold in Kansas City. I wouldn't pay money to get frostbite and watch the game. 1 Quote

Motown Bombers Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Laporta questionable, Mitchell and Houston out. Quote
Hongbit Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Cooper out there kissing up to 5-0. I hope his game on Sunday is a dead as his street cred. 1 2 Quote
Motown Bombers Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 I don't know, Gus Fring used to hook up the DEA with fried chicken. Could all be part of his cover. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted January 12, 2024 Author Posted January 12, 2024 No Houston or Mitchell. I think it's probably a yes LaPorta, but he might be limited. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Here's an article on why Campbell is a better coach than McVay. https://theathletic.com/5190968/2024/01/12/jared-goff-lions-belief?source=user-shared-article I also liked this little quote from the article. Nice dig at the Bears and Fields. “It was big, being able to go somewhere where I can have a quarterback who would run the entire offense,” said Montgomery, who signed with Detroit from Chicago."

1984Echoes Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Puka Nacua is Penei Sewell's cousin? I didn't know that. And he ended Sewell's HS with 3 TD's against his team. Penei told him that tomorrow is his revenge game... Quote
1984Echoes Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Penei also has another uber-athletic OT cousin coming out in the draft this year: Kingsley Suamataia, 6'6" 325. Quote

Hongbit Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 Here’s some Amon Ra high school tape for comparison. Competition is a much higher level than Puka. Quote

Lot of throws up the seam. Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 3 delays and 4 hours later we might actually be leaving MSP for DTW. 1 Quote
Motown Bombers Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 The Lions defense is wild. The Lions lead the NFL is pressure percentage, QB hurries, and QB hits but rank 24th in sacks. If they can convert a few of these pressures into sacks, it would help the secondary a lot. Quote

Having McNeill and CJGJ back should make a significant difference. Quote

I also feel like Glenn held his cards close to the vest. The Lions really ran a vanilla defense against Minnesota. With 3 good safeties plus Branch, I think we are going to see looks we haven't seen all year. There's just not tape out there with these safeties plus Branch. Quote
