RandyMarsh Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 A little off topic but it has to do with an athlete changing sports in his 30s, anyway I maintain that Michael Jordan picking up a bat in his 30s for the first time in 15 years and going straight to double A and hitting .202/.290/.266 is one of the more underappreciated sports accomplishments ever. If Golden Tate can match those numbers in single A I will be impressed. Quote

MichiganCardinal Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 I will admit that when the Lions did not come out as having any interest in DeShaun Watson I was a little put off. Seemed like an opportunity to get a franchise QB in his prime. With the benefit of hindsight though, I do not envy the Browns at all. They may have over $60 million tied up in QBs this year, while starting Jacoby friggin Brissett for 17 games. It's not unrealistic to envision the Browns finishing in the bottom third of the league.

MichiganCardinal Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 I don’t like WC or his site for personal and political reasons, but I do think he has a relatively sharp football mind. I think a lot of what he wrote has truth to it, though I’m not as optimistic about the result, as I see it more as an absolute ceiling than an expectation that I would predict. I would probably drop a star from both RB and receivers, but otherwise concur with his positional breakdown. A lot hinges on what Jared Goff we get. Quote

I, for one, love sites that look like they were optimized for Netscape Navigator, with pop up ads that pop up on pop up ads. I agree that the offense will surprise people, but probably not until week 7 or 8 when Jaymo gets healthy. But they also have a pretty favorable schedule. Quote
AlaskanTigersFan Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 I am surprised by the Dline. With Levi, Akim, Hutch, Brockers and Paschal.... Not to mention the Okwara brothers for depth.... I think thats pretty solid no? Quote
sagnam Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Raiders first, Lions last in NFL in ticket revenue Quote
RandyMarsh Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) ESPN with help from PFF put out their top 15 sophomores most likely to break out and Alim McNeil was number 10 on the list. A big reason why they say that is because according to their metrics he had his 2 best games to close the season and seemingly got better as the season went on. If him breaking out does hold true, Okwara comes back healthy and Aidan can make an immediate impact that D-Line could be real good. Edited July 20, 2022 by RandyMarsh Quote
Motown Bombers Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Levi is also a forgotten man on the defensive line. He had some injuries last year and opted out of 2020 so hopefully we see some progress with him as well. Quote

RandyMarsh Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Just heard on the radio that Caesars has said their most popular bet thus far in July for the NFL is the Lions over 6 wins so it seems that not just Lions fans are drinking the Kool Aid. Also they said that Campbell is currently getting the most action for COY. Quote

AlaskanTigersFan Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Isn't it crazy that people are already talking about firing Campbell? Man I hope they give him a fair shake to turn the ship around. I think he's on the right track. Quote
