Who do u want to hear from?

I would love to hear any of the new veteran players opinions of the organization, team, and how they think we will fair next season.   I love when players can accurately contrast their experiences on other teams with their experiences here (if you can get them past the obligatory PC BS statements) .  Players like DeCoud, Cotchery or Webb.

I'd actually like to hear more from Decoud and Harper and get some of their insight.  They were major players for our enemies after all.  It'd be interesting seeing how they feel about the team so far and hear some of their stories about the Panthers from the Falcon/Saints viewpoints.

i'm very interesting in what cotchery has to say. he's going to play a bigger role on this team that most people realize: veteran possession receiver a la moose in 2008, if i dare make a prediction, and a vocal leader of men. i think he could be for the offense what mike mitchell was for the defense last year: experience, fire, leadership.

 

if these qualities can matriculate through the ranks as well as we're all hoping we'll see kelvin benjamin develop quickly as a gigantic fuging terrifying threat with cam's cannon arm, vets getting open underneath, a run game increasingly potent because of the passing game, and a team united the way it came together last year - only with more discipline, team focus, and a higher ceiling.

 

interview jerricho cotchery please.

    • 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.
