Mr. Scot

How many times have they turned it over on downs this game?

I didn't catch his name but the punt team was sitting out there waiting and looking annoyed till this guy suddenly ran out and joined the formation.

It's a riff on his name.

Sitting on the sideline with your thumb up your ass while everybody out on the field is waiting for you? That's not an impression you want to make it a game like this.

Was watching him trying to get things set up at the line and felt like he looked confused. Seemed like it was taking too long.

I've heard it said that he has a particular set of skills.

Tepper has specifically stated that he's not a talent evaluator and he's not going to try to be.

Kyle Smith is the guy who was previously doing all the GM duties without the title but wasn't given serious consideration for the actual job. He's since left for a personnel executive position with the Falcons.

Lord, what an awful throw.

Granted. Just observing... Don't know if the other squad is just more talented or what, but they look better.

Mond definitely isn't impressing me. Carter from UNC looked pretty good.

Knowing they were coached by our OL coaches this week doesn't make me feel good about statements like that.

Rhule's squad isn't looking too great so far.

Live on NFL Network right now...

Brad Holmes as well, which is one of the reasons I think Goff could end up in Detroit. Don't know if it could happen, but a straight Stafford for Goff swap would certainly be interesting.

Always felt McVay has been a tad limited by Goff. With Stafford, who knows?

For what it's worth, FS1 guy quoting Albert Breer...

Dave Birkett covers the Lions for the Detroit Free Press. Guesses from what I've been reading would be the Rams of the 49ers. Colts are possible too I suppose but the other two sound more likely. There was word that we checked into it, but I seriously doubt we're involved anymore.

Funny thing is that these were prepared remarks. His game speeches obviously aren't going to be rehearsed (and just as well). For my part, I guess I'd say with regard to both he and Dan Campbell that it's gonna matter a lot more whether they can coach than whether they can speak. Guess we'll see how that works...

Funny to think about it, but Rivera has been rebuilding his version of the Panthers up in Washington since he got the job. Now with Marty there, he's pretty close to the goal. Meanwhile, we're shaking off the last vestiges of the Richardson era and building something new. The upcoming offseason will have little to no influence from anyone of that period. So now we watch and see what direction these two franchises take.

Makes me wonder if he wanted to go to Washington. Regardless, he's not gonna be part of this year's scouting process.

Probably should have sold him to a fence.

Veterans require less coaching.

Looked up an old friend of ours. The second tweet was written in response to Jeremy Fowler's mention of the Rams as a possible Matthew Stafford destination. So yes, the Rams are talking about trading Goff. And yeah, given that the Lions GM is one of the guys who chose Goff in the first place, it's a very plausible option. Will it happen? No idea. If it does, it'll be complicated as hell. But it's being explored.

The Twitter page that rumor comes from isn't a good source. There's no confirmation from any reliable source that I've seen.
