Johnson comments on Young, Broyles, etc

[kdp1980]

Sounds like Johnson is sick of Youngs ass too. Young has been the Lions biggest letdown of the season imo. I expected him to have a big season this year, and its been far from that. I can honestly say that he was probably the Lions player I was most excited about seeing progress this year, and be Johnsons "Brett Perriman", dont see him being anything close to that now. What a shame

Young or the Lions DE other than Avril have really disappointed me. KVB is almsot worthless and Lo Jack and Young have taken a step back as backups. Avril is solid at times but the back injury has hurt him IMO.

Plus Delmas continuing to be hurt. Lions are 8-4 last 2 years when Delmas plays. 2-1 this year losing in a 13 point effort by the Bears.

Young has been the biggest dissappointment to me too. I thought he was going to build off that solid rookie year. The kid needs to shape up and he'll get one more chance...

Even if his attitude improves i dont see him becomming the guy you guys want him to be. Shitty attitude or not...hes not beating one on one coverage except for the 2 yard slant plays on the goaline lol.

Maybe im not seeing it....maybe stafford is throwing the checkdown to pettigrews 6 yard curl too soon on every play....but from what i do see....Titus is covered like a frikken blanket on most downs.

THIS year...yes, he's covered. You can't deny his solid rookie year he had. The kid needs to mentally shape up and go over his game in his head. It's that or he is shown the door.

I think it's clear he's going to be shown the door. For CJ even to comment negatively at all says a lot.

He's not gone yet or it would have been done already.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us trade him for a pick come draft time.

The problem is now his trade value sucks cause youve publically detroyed him. No one will want a diva cancer that catches 2 balls a game. Mayhew should have listened when i was clamoring earlier this year to trade him for tyvon branch or michael huff. He didnt listen to me....again!

no doubt Delmas is a big loss...with him and Houston you have 2 good guys in the secondary....the rest are nothing more than leftovers

They don't listen to anybody. They go about things like they are the smartest guys in the room. With that approach, it's no coincidence why we suck year after year.

Broyles is the man.

 

[wheels002]

Today Broyles showed why he was well worth the pick in the 2nd. I think he will continue to improve. I really thought Thomas played well to.

 

[coel73]

If they let young come back and mess up what they got going, then........... With our luck they'll do just that.

 

[JScottWriter]

What they got going? A 4-7 record?

 

[mhughes0021]

Broyles is the man.

Played real well today. Crazy what can happen when you actually use your high round picks!

 

[baitnbat]

Broyles is the man.

Hell yeah. And everyone was pissed when they drafted him. He just finds ways to get open.

Nice to see you warming up to the kid. I'm telling you, he's a playmaker here. He won't run his mouth and act the fool like Titus. I still like Titus' skill set, he just needs to smarten the hell up. How can you not want to play in this offense?

Now, go get some defensive players in the draft!!

 

[coel73]

Nope. Getting a reliable receiver targets which actually benefits the passing game.

Solid work ethic. He and Calvin have exactly the attitude we want on this team, young not so much.
