Bentley ACL

im positive youre a homer that did a complete 180 on ebron once he was a lion lol.

You're an imbecile. I have explained it a 1000x about the Ebron pick and what he brings to this team. I never 180'd. I just get what they're trying to accomplish with this offense. Doesn't mean I'm a homer. I have this team winning 8-9 games lol. Real big homer there....ya jerkoff.

we had no depth at center and Riola is old as hell. If he went down and we didnt have a back up you would be complaining about that. There is no team in the NFL that has solid quality depth at every position. With all our weapons on offense you are bringing up the fact we didnt draft a receiver in the third and instead got our center of the future.

He's not only old, but he's on a contract year I believe. It's called "thinking ahead". Wasn't a bad pick at all. Swanson needs to work on his strength and year under an NFL workout program should jumpstart that.
 
I think C of the future is a bit much at this point. Honestly we don't know what he'll do..

But the coaching staff has a clue what he'll do. That's all that matters. You don't take a C in rd 3 if you're not considering him your future starter.

youre assuming a lot. The last 2 weeks alone should be a perfect example of that. We just released a guy we traded up for in the 2nd round and the other 2nd round gem we made inactive.

you get it huh? So when he did nothing all preseason and the excuse was "it the fn preseason fn f." and now its game 1 so now its "its only game fn 1 fn imbicile fn f" So what exactly is it they are trying to accomplish?...show the nfl how NOT to use a top 10 draft pick?
 
Lets face facts here. None of the players drafted around Ebron have done much either. Dennard has been hurt and was inactive for game 1. Beckham has yet to play at all for the Giants and they have been pissed at him for months. Gilbert is so great the Browns are talking about playing him less. Ha Ha has had issues in coverage and tackling. Watkins has been injured and even when he has played he hasnt done much. Fuller has had issues with the Bears. Pryor got a concussion first day of camp and barely played. So all this who should have taken this guy or that guy is bullshit at this point. None of the guys you keep saying we should have taken have done shit yet. But its just been 1 game.
 
Hey, I read that Aaron Berry got released, surprised Gunther is not all over that shit.

Oh?

He took a break from pointing guns at people and driving drunk to tryout for an NFL team?
 
Think the Browns released him yesterday. A few days ago there was talk that he was going to be the one to take snaps from Justin Gilbert.

once again Mr. Negative is NEVER HAPPY
 
1 fuckin game hughes, Ebron will show why he was the Lions pick, THIS year. It's just going to take awhile to get him up to speed in this offense. Calvin caught 48 balls his rookie year, I expect at least that or more by ebron. I agree that we were set at te, and it was a luxury pick, but obviously Lombardi has big plans for this kid, and wanted to start fresh at te. Why the resigned pettigrew is beyond me.

From what i remember we can cut Pettigrew after this year with no real hit to the cap. That would leave Ebron and Fouria. We resigned Pettigrew before the draft. We had no idea if Ebron was going to be there or not.
 
That was their target all along, and he was expected to be there.

why would it take him awhile to get him up to speed? Hes been in this offense longer than anyone on the team. This is a brand new offense and rookies reported earlier than anyone else. He should "be up to speed" moreso than anyone else. Im not the one comparing him to jimmy graham like everyone else on here likes to do. How many games does NO have 2 TEs catch more passes than jimmy graham? ESPN has a rookie watch list this year. Theres categories like "fast start" "showed potential" and Ebron was one of the only ones in the "disappointment" category. You guys talk a whole lot about how good Eric "Jimmy Graham" Ebron is....im just waiting to see it. Im sure he will have a couple games this year where he catches like 5 passes for 85 yards and you guys will come on here and say "SEEEEEE, I TOLD YOU!!! rawr, I told you HUGHES youre such an idiot!" and then ill remind you that youd have to be handicapped NOT to get 85 yards in a couple games in this offense.

Meanwhile....at practice....Abdul Ismael Qifftus ISbus Shiek is missing tackle after tackle and cant cover anyone.

There are a lot of college teams that dont even have playbooks. Ebron himself has said the Lions offense is so beyond anything he ran at UNC that he was being overwhelmed.
