Golden Tate trade was a vintage 'Patriot Way' move by Bob Quinn.

Trading Golden Tate spells opportunity, expectations for Kenny Golladay.
With Golden Tate leaving for greener pastures, the Lions will count on Kenny Golladay to assume a bigger role in Detroit’s offense—and that’s going to be just fine.

Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog Emergency PODcast: Breaking down short-term, long-term implications of Golden Tate trade. 37 minutes.
The PODcast crew convenes to talk about the Lions? huge trade-dealine-move.

For the second week in a row the PODcast has blown predictions about the trade deadline. First, we expected a quiet couple weeks from the team and were proven wrong in less than 24 hours when the Detroit Lions traded for Damon Harrison Sr. Then earlier this week, we shrugged off Golden Tate rumors only to, again, be proven wrong in less than a day.

So the PODcast reconvened late Tuesday night to eat a bunch of humble pie and discuss the team?s somewhat surprising move. To help discuss the trade, we brought along Kyle Yost, who advocated for this very trade about a month ago. Along with Jeremy and Ryan, they debate the merits of this move and what it means for the team.

This week on the EMERGENCY PODcast
Jeremy is frustrated, Kyle is vindicated and Ryan is somewhere in between.

Was a third-round pick enough compensation?

Weighing the cost-benefit between losing Golden Tate for nine games and earning a second-day draft pick.

Is there any chance the Lions make a play for Tate this upcoming free agency period?

The crew discusses the short-term implications of the trade: Is the 2018 season over? How will the Lions offense adjust? Who stands to benefit the most?

Speaking long-term, is receiver a big need headed into the 2019 draft or are the Lions becoming a more run-based offense?

Between this and the ?Snacks? trade, what kind of message is the front office sending to its players and fans?
 
All part of the long term plan... hopefully that's not to be a year or two away each year

We can only hope. I?m excited to see him play . But it begs the question why isn?t he already playing if he is that good?

Easy answer. He's an undrafted rookie that has done nothing in this league. He needs to learn the ins and outs of the game before anything else. The talent is obviously there. He wouldn't be on the roster if he wasn't talented. I don't care who you are. You know what it takes for a kid to come into an organization that wasn't drafted? That was probably considered a camp body? Is pretty much an afterthought? The WRs were already set coming into the yr. This kid balled out during the preseason, got on the 53 and is now being given a chance (maybe) to shine again. The organization and coaches saw something in this kid. We only seen a glimpse. Tate has talked this kid up large. Is he the next Golden??? Who fucking knows!!! But I'm excited to see what this kid can do. It's a long road ahead for this kid but he's literally knocking down every roadblock in front of him to get there. I'm rootin for him huge....
 
You're never going to know what Powell can do if he doesn't get playing time and he was never going to see the field with Tate here. Next man up.
 
asking a moron like Cooter to adjust scheme halfway thru a year.....doesnt sound scary at all.

The guy started early in his head coaching tenure with accusations of rape, and then was complicit in trading away one of the teams most popular players after a shaky start to a season... and he's going after a reporter for slouching??

Man, you gotta hand it to the Bearded Bastard, he has balls that clang when he walks and he's gotta carry them in a wheelbarrow.

I think most people would be playing kissy-face with the media right about now, and the Bearded Bastard is slapping them for not being respectful.

I kinda love this guy now.
