It's early....before training camp early.....but who is everyone excited to see take the field? Also, who do you think LEAST deserves the PT he's going to get.
I'll start.....
Me......easily Van Noy. I see him as an Urlacher type defender. I know they play different positions.....however.....Urlacher was never a take on and shed MLB....more of a read and react LB that happened to play the middle.
Van Noy will at times rush, is VERY good in coverage, and can find the ball and make plays. I don't expect high sack totals from him, maybe 5-6 a season....but he will be considered a playmaker and every down LB when the season ends.
As far as least excited to see.....probably Quin. To me, he is nothing more than average. For such a good cover S.....he makes very few impact plays. Being solid is great, but what this franchise has missed for so long is a S that can go get it. Fuck, the last one we had was.......wait for it......
"Big Play" Willie Clay. He wasn't great, but he'd make you pay big a few times every year. Quin is Clay, minus the big plays.
The Lions need to be looking for S help for next year.
