BULLSHIT! Quit making excuses....he got trucked, I said it last night, and I'll say it till the day I die.

I don't care if he just came out of the little boy's room, pulling his drawers up.....he got trucked. You play football, I don't wanna hear this "he wasn't set" crap!!!

Bradshaw was 20 yards away when the play began....so if he couldn't prepare by then......I mean really...come on. Was off balance, wasn't ready????

Neither was I then if that's the case.

:ihih:

Godfrey looked to be more concerned with stripping the ball inside the 10 yard line than trying to make a tackle. The Giants had an excellent play call and execution against the front seven on that play, they all got whooped before it made it into the secondary. It was a cross block/trap that took out the OLB responsible for that gap.

Meeks has been preaching his ball stripping. It didn't seem to work too well in the game, and I think he has some re-teaching to do about going for the tackle first when a play nears the goal line. If you watch the replay, Godfrey goes for a half strip/half tackle, Gamble is coming off a block trying to make a diving tackle and gets trucked and then Harris is coming up with body language to go for another strip at the 2 yard line. Once Gamble misses, you can see Harris go into "pure tackle" mode, but it is too late and he doesn't even touch him until he's in the end zone. If he's teaching them to strip instead of tackle at the two yard line it's inexcusable in my book, but I think it's just a case of players learning a new system. Still, I think it would be understood that the priority should shift to stopping the runner first as a player approaches the end zone.

      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.
