He has done everything that is required from him to play and avoid any fines. I don’t know why he would sit and take a fine at this point…

Burns has said he has to be here and will be part of something special. He has practiced with the team and is traveling with the team as well. I don’t think he is sitting. Anyone saying he is are 100% guessing/assuming.

QB is a tough position to evaluate for scouts. I’m glad my job doesn’t depend on it. Corral’s accuracy looked terrible last game, but in college it was his strength. It’s mind boggling, but I think we have a good one now in Young so hopefully this whole Corral thing will become water under the bridge.

Solid point. Thanks for the breakdown.

We should have signed Zappe from their practice squad. Out troll the biggest troll in Bill B and let him be stuck with Corral.

I have him as my RB3/Flex. He went late for a feature back.

This is a good summary.

I see no indication that he is going to do that. I mean he is showing up to these practices so he is able to play right?

If the Lions were overrated and not that good last year, you are hurting your Wilks should have been HC case a little. Beating Detroit the way he did was easily his best win. You take that away and he was just running over a bunch of bottom tier teams/defenses.

So you want to overpay Burns? Sometimes playing hardball is the best way to meet in the middle. Rams trade aside (that's a sunk cost now) we appear to be trying to not overpay him.

He is playing or getting his contract very soon. Why else would be even be at these practices?

You could argue either point successfully. Giving Young no defense and forcing him into obvious passing situations while taking unnecessary extra hits isn't an ideal way to develop him. We appear to be wanting to have a solid defense (that's our goal but who knows how it will look) plus a solid running game for Young to lean on. Our staff thinks that Moore (a great WR2/low end WR1) will be easier to replace then a top 10 young pass rusher.

I feel confident that no one confidently knows how we are going to look this season.

I wonder if they flip Sewell to LT for the time Decker is out. Sewell should be solid there.

It’s at KC and they have the best player in the league. I am surprised the Lions offense hasn’t really showed up…

You can pretty much use that last prediction for every game after seeing how we handled preseason games.

Are those your numbers or are you reading/hearing that somewhere?

Yeah if Robinson starts running wild I would imagine we bring Chinn in the box, but I could see us overlooking Ridder.

By tackling the RB before he gets too many yards.

Damn that’s some very specific predictions! I like breakdown.

21-17 Carolina. Bryce throws 2 TDs (one is a dump off to Sanders) and has 250 passing yards. Burns pressures Ridder into a game ending INT late in the 4th.

No big deal. To your point he did disappear in that last Tampa game where the division was on the line.
