Fairley demoted to second team defense

It's okay Hughes, they signed a 34 year old journeyman who has been cut over and over again to pair opposite the 33 year old Mathis. Some young blood back there.

Florence will be fine. Could be worse...

Slay, Quin and Bentley are young enough. Need some vet blood. Have Lawson developing and last shot for Green and Greenwood. Good mix of youth and vets.

if someone is really bored and knows technology well itd be funny if you photoshopped the guys I named into the video one by one jumping from the top of the wall into the dumpster fire :D
 
Jeremy Lane, Phillip Adams, Eric Pinkins at corner

DeShawn Shead, Chandler Fenner at safety

This is Seattle's backup equivalent

I'll take Green, Vaughn, Florence, Greenwood and Carey/IAQ/Gomes all day over those guys.

Slay,Mathis,Quin,Ihedigbo are good players.
 
For the love of everything holy, please stop comparing the Lions secondary to Seattle. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, and Earl Thomas are hands down the best secondary in football. Hughes wasn't talking about the backups, he was referencing the entire group. Those three guys are worth the entire secondary that the Lions can put out there.

Seattle produced one of the best defenses that we've seen in a long time. Stop comparing the two. It's getting old.

He was talking backups except for Mathis. Quin is ranked higher than Thomas and Chancelleor. Mathis is a good CB and had a good 2013. Slay has immense potential. Ihedigbo is better in run support and blitz than Thomas/Chancellor. You can compare them.

Other than Mathis. This is all backups he is talking about.

And Mathis is good. He's a dumbass for listing Mathis.
 
I hope Sherman hurts his hamstring and toe most of the year. And Thomas has a knee issue that slows him down. And Chancellor plays on a bum ankle most of the year like Quin. Then we'll see this "great" secondary in action.
 
No you can't. Earl Thomas is the best safety in the NFL, hands down. Not a SINGLE person who understands the game of football would even dare say that Glover Quin is a better player. It's completely, 100 percent false.
 
LKP, what the hell does that even mean? Why would you wish injuries on them? You do that because you know they are the best. What would happen if all of these "studs" on the Lions got hurt? How even more shitty would the Lions be if they lost Quin, Slay, and Mathis to injury? They would be fielding a JV squad.

I wish what happened to Detroit secondary in 2013 injury wise happens to Seattle. They deserve injuries. Most overrated team ever.
 
So, 100 percent healthy, starting a team, you take Glover Quin over Earl Thomas?

Yes and so does PFF. I take Fairley,Suh,Ansah,Levy and Tulloch too.
