DID HE ACTUALLY DO THAT?

At one point Monday, Baker appeared to grab Julius Peppers. At the very least it was a touch with a closed hand. No one does this to Peppers. The former linebacker from Maryland does. He looks too young to have a coaching resume that dates back 25 years. Stints in San Diego, Detroit, Minnesota and St. Louis came after a dozen years in college football. Long enough to believe that he can get close to Julius Peppers and live to tell the tale. Delicious.

Let's point out that this wasn't an offensive touch or grab. It was just direct and Baker made sure his star know that he wanted more. He appeared to get it when Peppers ran wild in the next drill against the offense.

Last I read Peppers was a player not a god. Showing favoritism is the easist way to lose the whole team. Good Move Mr. Baker. I would love to see Julius Peppers play lights out football this season.

Maybe what he needs to reach his full potential was a foot up his A$$.

Go Panthers

:cool:

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
