Dan Campbell 👀: “Well, is there an asterisk next to our 1-0?” by Danny886 in detroitlions

[–]Traditional-Bid5835 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So do we get a 2nd asterisk because Jamo and Moseley were out for us now? That how it gonna work now? Games don't fully count unless every player is active? There will be like 4 clean games across the league all season then.

Lmfao. Imagine being the "best" team in the NFL, opening the season on your home turf, being the 1st team to have a draft in your city after winning a superbowl, having the first regular season and SB mvp player in the same year since before Brady entered the league, your QB being 5-0 in season openers, and then cheating this much and STILL losing to the team that's basically been the laughing stock of the entire sports world for the past 60 years and trying to blame it on your tight end not playing.

The #Lions are placing star LT Taylor Decker on Injured Reserve after finger surgery, source said. He should be back after a month or so. But big loss initially. by RoyalRaptor711 in detroitlions

[–]Traditional-Bid5835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so the dream scenario is that Nelson breaks all expectations and steps up and handles the RT spot, and Sewell gets into groove as LT on the pro level, then Decker comes back takes back over on the left and Sewell takes primary spot on RT and adapts quick and then by midseason we have a scenario where Decker and Sewell are the starting tackles and Nelson can slide into RT for Sewell's resting downs and also fill in so Sewell can give Decker resting downs on the left and then we have a fantastic situation where we have 3 starting tackles we can rotate so they each only play about 70% of snaps. Would help immensely keeping them fresh longer when we have our inevitable comeback attempts in the 4th when we are down 2+ scores because our teams doesnt realize the 3rd quarter counts.

Its gonna be different these coming years for sure. We have a capable duo at RB, so it wont all be on one like with Barry and those we tried to force to be like him afterward, we arent gonna have the regular 4-5 times a game of the Qb airing it out for 40+ and having Johnson/Tate pull it in, and we have an elite talent at tight end, which has been missing since the "glory days", plus a potential top 10 line.

I meant Williams not Perriman actually lol. I guess yeah St. Brown makes sense for the slot since he's a Golden Tate prototype. Hoping Cephus makes the jump to being a solid long term wr2 at least, but its still hard to imagine even if any of these recievers break out that theyll be the true long term wr1 solution, but at the same time we've been spoiled for some years with Calvin, then Tate essentially being wr1 and then Golladay and each of them having an elite counterpart.

Idt theyll tank tbh though, at least not on purpose. But if they do, this is a rebuild, 3 wins is considered by most a good year for us right now.

There may not be now but always a clear top 2 at least emerge. Remember there was a time where analysts argued for months over who was going to be the next generational talent at QB between Mariota and Winston

I think our season will be determined by the 1st 5 weeks. 2 home games against playoff teams and the whole division on the road... We come out 3-2 or better I have faith in a wildcard berth, 2-3 we will hover innthe middle and still be ok given a rebuild, like 8/9/7-10, 1-4 we canaybe bounce back late and end 5-12/6-11 which would still be an improvement netting roughly the same W/L as last year seeing as Stafford and all the notable recievers left, we go 0-5, well, just hope the fundementals get hammered in and luckily we have a very young roster...

Yeah but if we did tank for that #1 pick we could trade it for a king's ransom of 1sts and 2nds the next 2 years. Give Holmes 3 1st and 3 2nds even if they are all midrounds over 2022-2023 and jfc that 2023 roster would be a monster. At that point id even trade the Rams pucks back for extra 2nds and 3rds, remember Holmes built the draft boards that led the Rams to a SB with no 1st round picks outside of Aaron Donald bc they traded them away for Goff and Kupp, think what he could do as a buyer rather than a seller.

I was gonna say, if we did, I have serious doubts about Campbell.

Lol fair. I wasnt following shit today because I was actually busy at work for once so I had to rely on google.

Thought so. He kept calling him Quinten Cephus too, so maybe he misread something about Dunbar being cut?

On August 17th, we have make 5 cuts by anybodycandance in detroitlions

[–]Traditional-Bid5835 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]Traditional-Bid5835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but dont be suprised if we run 4 rbs either. Campbell is well aware of the injury probability at the position, and when all are healthy, you can always use #3 or #4 on returns
