After Ben Johnson decided to stay with the Lions I was all in on Reich. Doesn’t look too good right now. He needs to be the CEO and let his all star (?) staff do their thing.

Good for him, seems like a good guy.

I feel the same way. It is a shame Bryce isn’t playing, this is by far the worst defense we’ve played so far. I’ll record it and watch it later, looks like nice hiking weather this Sunday.

But what if he sprains his ankle, sit out a game or two, and Brown takes over?

Oh I agree 100%. I just added that I think Purdy looks bad.

Yeah he did not look good the first two drives. That great run game helps a lot.

If it is not that severe I can see it happening. Once the adrenaline is gone and you take your shoe off, it really hits home. My guess is that maybe he could have played if it was a playoff game, but the prudent decision is to rest him for a week.

I think it might be time to slow down the arguing on this one, it is ok to embrace the role of the contrarian, but it has turned in to something close to spamming at this point.

A couple of things can be true: - All the talk about Bryce’s super ability to process etc. didn’t account for time to acclimate to the NFL, and set up unreasonable expectations. - However, Bryce’s start has been disappointing, no matter the circumstances. If you say you aren’t a bit disappointed you are not being honest. - Stroud and Richardson has had way more wow plays and produced more than Young. - However, early rookie year production and long term success has little correlation, hence it is way too early to draw any conclusions. So it is ok if people don’t panic, but if you want to, go ahead. - We will improve our WRs next year, you just can’t do it all in year one. Just like all other teams drafting QBs high. But yes, underwhelming start to the season without a doubt.

I didn’t expect miracles, but the offense has been brutal so far, there is no way around that. It is hard to watch at this point. Hopefully we’ll work through it, getting Corbett back will make a world of difference in week 5.

Mays looked as bad as he did in the preseason unfortunately. Getting Corbett back will be a huge boost, we just have to figure out how two survive the next two games.

I mean, our 1, 2and 4 round picks are starting. But let’s focus on the 3 rounder that doesn’t…

Really excited about this!

We’ll see. The one in the last game was a back breaker no doubt.

We have 100 threads about what he’s done wrong, so adding yet another list in a thread trying talking about some of the bright spots is odd.

I think he fumbled 1 time during the regular season last year, and 1 time the year before.

I think you misread the intention of the thread

In my opinion Wilkes approach could get you to 8 or 9 wins a year, but not more than that. So you are either happy with that or try something with more upside. Now that might fail, but at least you tried.

We are not doing a complete tear down style rebuild. We have some good pieces but needed a QB to try to build something, so we traded for one and added a brand new coaching staff. Said rookie QB has made one start, ONE! The goal this year is progress throughout the season and then make some moves in FA next year. Next year should be playoffs or bust, not this year.

To each their own, but I don’t think Rhule had anything to do with FAs outside of some of his own players. Rhule was heavily involved in the draft though. But that is just my take.

I think he’s done a good job with the o-line. Corbet and Bozeman, then adding Ickey, Christensen and Zavala in the draft.

The Jets should call for him.

I really hope we’ll see Zavala on the left. That could be a spectacular left side for us for many years to come. The run game potential!

This is my biggest concern. Would have preferred to move Zavala to LG and gone with Jensen at RG. McCray looked bad in preseason and has Mays even played LG in the past?

I think we could cause some issues for Carr with our pressure, so that will be interesting to see. All I’m asking for is some good progress for the offense, anything else is a bonus.
