kind of surprised i havent seen anyone link hopkins to detroit.

He said he wants a team with a great defense.

[RandyMarsh]

Show him our defensive stats from the last 10 games("forget" to show Carolina game) and then introduce him to Jack Campbell, that should be enough to convince him that our defense will be great.

Hopkins'll go to the Bears.  Because reasons.

They have the cash the Lions do while also having the lack of strategy necessary to spend it wisely.

exactly.   it makes no sense.  it hurts the Lions.  therefore it makes perfect sense.

Nobody thought Joe Burrow was so great until his last season.

Joe Milton has one of the strongest arms I’ve ever seen from a college QB.   What that translates into is up to the rest of his body.  

[RandyMarsh]

I cant believe Milton is still in college, it feels like he was at UM under the Hoke administration.

Tennessee likes them old.

The fluff pieces are starting, but this one is at least measurable. 

 

[buddha]

let me know when he improves his changeup.

[RandyMarsh]

I didn't read it yet but I saw one where the headline said something like "Hutchinson adds 15lbs of muscle, grows hair out." The last part was the important thing to me, I mean I'm gonna root for him anyway but he takes a few steps down if he has his hair long.

In general I'm not against it really but I hate seeing it hang out of football players helmets particularly if its blonde/light brown, reminds me of Clay Matthews and AJ Hawk which isn't a good thing.

The Hopkins practice news isn't encouraging but I don't necessarily think it's a deal breaker like it would be if he was a draft prospect.

Idk but I think Holmes and co. may be a little more leniant of a long time veteran who's been one of the best at his position for several years taking it a little easy at practice vs. a 21 year old kid in college, particularly given the situation in Arizona where it sounds like it wasn't good.

I think at the very least they would keep an open mind and contemplate if he would have those same issues here or if it was more a product of his environment and circumstances.

We talking about practice?

Yeah, why not. 

[sagnam]

Hopefully they plan on mixing in some stops too.

Stops are good.

Campbell doesn't often decline to comment. 

 

[Motown Bombers]

The Texans have literally nothing on his wish list. 

 

[buddha]

hopkins is interested in money.  everything else is secondary.

he could be good for detroit.  if they are worried about cap space and signing guys, id rather have them get another defensive tackle than a wr.

[MichiganCardinal]

This made me lol

I would pay $10 to any coach who went to the podium with a picture of Patricia in clown makeup on their shirt.
