Lion's may be in trouble at RT and CB

[Nick81]

Indeed, provided he is the one that Caldwell goes with. Garrett Reynolds still might get the start. And there still exists a small chance that Waddle plays. One thing I've learned about Caldwell so far, he doesn't say much of anything before game day about his players.

We'll see Sunday.  Either way, I would suspect whoever it is, will get a little help.  I know they don't like to max protect, but I fully expect chip blocks all afternoon.

A rookie undrafted RT??? LMAO

I know. Tell Byron Bell that.

[Peppers90 NC]

they will almost certainly use an extra TE to help the RT

Cam is gonna destroy Detroit.

25-35, 315 Yd, 3 TD, 5 rush, 35 Yd, TD

Dline needs to eat to win this game so that helps

[Razeyfingers]

Where be the X and O's guys? Detroit runs long routes in their receiving tree, I wonder what the most likely way it is that they will protect Stafford? The OC has to see this coming a mile away. Our D-line is going to crush them. They have 3 good TE's right? Lots of two TE sets then?

[Udogg]

Hope it helps.. but I'm sure they are going to help on that side.  Still gonna be a really tough game.

Lions were ready to at Pettigrew at Tackle Monday night according to PFT.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jed Collins (fullback) in a lone back set on occasion for that purpose.

Ebron doesn't block so well yet, Fauria is getting better, Pettigrew is the best blocking TE of the three, so I imagine we'll see him quite a bit.

just win baby. just win.

 

as the Panther said last year "You gotta play us. You just gotta play us"

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

Rivera and Mcdermott are licking their chops right now!!! We face a similar offense twice a year and imo Brees > Stafford. This is our home opener, chance of rain, and our team is out to prove themselves. Sounds to me like a recipe for amazingness Sunday!

For those that think starting an UDFA at RT such a bad thing, Waddle himself started last year as an UDFA. And he did quite well for the season over there. Nevin Lawson happened to help shut down Victor Cruz for the day to the tune of 1 catch for 20 yards on him and a total of 2 catches for 24 yards. Not saying that its easy to replace your starters with rookies, but Bentley wasn't that good to begin with. The guy was a penalty machine, he probably has as many penalties as he does tackles in his career. Now Detroit needing help with chips and protection on the right side, yes, is it the end of the world for them? No.

This is true. But I think the odds of lightning striking twice aren't something I'm willing to bank on
