Cuts

[wheels002]

Derek Dimke, Not a shock Hanson was always going to be our kicker
James Bryant, No need for a fullback
Jarrett Dillard, No clue who he is and trying to be a WR on this team is almost impossible
Stephfon Green, I actually liked him especially after the huge run to ice the Balt game
Sean Jones, Nothing left in the tank
Jacques McClendon, our line is set
Slade Norris, Our LB core is set
JC Oram, Our line is set
Bobby Skinner, Our DL is already set as well
Terrance Tolliver, Again making this roster at WR is not gonna happen


I will update as the remaining few come in

Yeah, kinda surprised by the Stephfon Green cut to some degree, but they can only keep so many RBs who will only get 10 or fewer rushes per game. Have to figure if the RBs continue getting injured they can always pick someone up off the scrap heap to do the same level of contribution as Green or dozens of other guys.

Cut all RB, keep all WR. pass pass pass.

As long as the old chant of "Up the middle, up the middle, up the middle...PUNT!" doesn't change to "Throw short, throw short, throw short...PUNT!"

I'm really hoping they stretch the field a bit more this year even if it means pushing the 3 yard routes out to 5, just get the ball a little further downfield to reduce the number of punts.

Mitch I am right there with ya. I would pass till Staff's right arm falls off then teach him to throw lefty. I believe we will have at least 1 RB on the roster for the final 53 that is not a Lion right now.

I liked the way LeShoure ran on Saturday....can't wait to see him fresh week #3.

I did to he made some guys miss he was shifty and he showed some power. He did miss the block that got Staff hurt though.

Was hoping sean jones would pan out.....wishful thinking when the last 4 veteran safties havent worked out.

LaRon Landry looked great last night for the Jets....I dont remember did he ever make it here for his visit in March or did the jets snap him up before hand

 

[mhughes0021]

I think they signed him the night before his visit.

@cmccosky "Appears Lions have acquired CB Kevin Barnes from 'Skins. He was their No.3 CB last season. Would be upgrade over Smith-Miller-Green, at rcb"

 

[mhughes0021]

Keep piling up all the crappy 3rd tier dbs you want....if the dline doesnt get pressure theyre gonna be toast.

Shows Barnes drilling Best in college.

I would rather use Barnes at nickel instead of Miller,Smith or Green if Lacey goes down. Hopefully Houston and Bentley are ok and this wasn't an oh crap move.

If Barnes is better than Alphonso Smith(very low bar) I'll be happy. Green is a 6th round rookie and Miller wasn't in the league for like 2 years.

If Houston/Bentley miss extended time, they will be roasted especially against elite passing teams.

Best and Greenwood have both been placed on PUP list and Release WR Dominique Curry and S Isaac Madison. They also placed Bill Nagy and Jonathon Scott on IR.
