Game 13: Bucs @ Lions Thread

He was in a good position just didnt get his head around.

At least he didnt do the finger wag when he broke up a pass late in the game after being beat up on for 3 quarters

Yep, in the past our dipshit corners would've celebrated breaking up a pass after being destroyed all game. Slay got humbled this week, which might be a good thing. Hopefully this just motivates him.

Makes me think back to Roy Williams damn first down celebration as we are getting pounded

Which one of them caught that TD against their neck? What a circus catch.

That was Mike Evans

I'm not asking him to be great every week, but you can have a down week without looking like a rookie making your first start. Jackson owned him on his way to his best game of the season.

Bell was averaging close to 1.5 YPC before the big run. To me bell isn't a RB you like to have a bunch of 0-2 yard runs in anticipation of him breaking a 50+ run. He is better suited to routinely get the 3-5 yards and occasionally break a 20+ yarder. His best games to me is when he isn't trying to dance, just running hard and straight.

I'm not quite as down on Bush as everyone here seems to be. I still think he can add a bit of value to this team the remainder of this year and next. I expect him to be gone in 2016. Not sure Riddick is completely ready to become part of a 1-2 RB rotation.

Slay is still learning. He did get owned though

I agree with you on Bell. He's just the better option than Bush right now.

I hope Bush is gone. Tired of seeing him on the injury report and missing games. Riddick or a high round RB next year has to be the way to go.

Abdullah or Gordon would be awesome. Do we keep Bell if we draft one of them though? I'm thinking no. I'd rather see Riddick stay. I wouldn't even mind Winn staying if we want to keep a power back.

I haven't watched much college football this year. However I thought the knock on Gordon was he couldn't catch out of the backfield. True? That doesn't seem like a fit for the Lions.

Honestly, he looks like he's got pretty soft hands for a rb. Wisconsin qb is trash, and I think has alot to do with them not using Gordon more in the passing game. I do like Abdullah more, I think he's got a knee issue though.

Joel Stave
8 tds 7 ints, 3 td passes to Gordon

96 completions, 14 to Gordon

forget about drafting a RB in the first 3 rounds.

OL, DT, CB in any order.

With a good OL you don't need that "special" RB.

We need more than 1 OL to improve on that. LG and RT..at least.

I know. I wish they would have taken Martin in the first round last year.

Move Swanson back to center, replace sims and I think we're good.

Need a RT. What we have is not good enough..

 

[kdp1980]

A healthy Waddle is good enough. So you've given up on him cuz he's gotten dinged up this year?

No, I think he's too inconsistent. I also think he's not a very good run blocker..

At least that's what I see..probably pick to late to get a good LT but personally if we could I'd grab one and move Reiff to RT.

what's the deal with everyone wanting to move a very solid LT to RT. he doesn't get beat, he's fundamentally sound and he's played very well, yet lets move him to a new position in hopes that a rookie is the better player. why not just focus on drafting a RT if that's what you want, esp at the mid/late 20's.

and for once, why are you even thinking about the draft when we're in the thick of a playoff race? for once, focus on the now, not the future.

You on something today? I didn't know the draft was off limits..

 

[atxlion82]

If there is a stud RT that is available I have no problem picking him up. I think between waddle(even though he has been hurt) and Lucas (with another offseason) we would be ok. Have to get a rg. Sims is done.
