I liked him. 4.6 guy. He should be more of a de for us than olb unless he completely changed his game since college. Projected athletic 2nd rounder that fell to 3rd due to some bad tape his last year at Auburn.

Played out of position in Cleveland. Hughes is right...this kid is a DE. Might have found something nice here if he can stick to just playing DE.

Lions listed him as a de. Cut barnes because asa jackson has to be on roster for 3 weeks after practice squad pickup

Yep. Watched an interview with the kid and he was asked what his playing weight was right now. He said 255 but he was aiming for 265. He"s a DE....Lions aint fkn around.

Put Ziggy on bed rest for the next 3 weeks, let this kid play

Looks like Adairius Barnes may be back with the team.
He cleared waivers, so he's likely going back on the practice squad.

The Lions have waived DE Corey Lemonier.
They had claimed him after Cleveland released him earlier this month.

It is similar to what the patriots do with the bottom 5 or so players, along with their practice squad. or am I missing something.

Im pretty sure he wasnt here long enough to see if hes even bottom 5 lol. Is Corey Lemonier worse than Anthony Zettel? Who knows...dude was here like 2 days.

Roster needs change. Slay hurt. Need a db. You don't cut a rookie you like for a waiver wire vet with one year left

They're not dropping a rookie over a guy that has been on 3 teams in like 4 years. I like Zettel and I think this kid can compete for a starting spot in 2017. His motor is non-stop.

CB Alex Carter promoted, surprising considering Barnes bet him out to make the final 53.

I figured he'd already be starting. Taylor sucks

He hasn't progressed..that's for sure. He was given an opportunity to start and hasn't quite stepped up. I expected more like the rest of us. Taylor is a nice 3rd or 4th DE off the bench to create some havok. I think his starting days are done...

I predicted Zettel would be starting by mid season
