End of the year Presser

I have a weird feeling that the end of the year presser with the Gman is going to be mind blowing.  As much as some want to deny it, heads will be rolling and could start as soon as tommorrow.  The sooner Gman makes his staff changes, the sooner he can prep for the coming draft and season.  I know he likes to evaluate after a season but I feel he has already made up his mind on what he wanted to do.

I can't imagine anyone but our DC being looked at for a position with any coach needy team and possibly Phroel

That tells us all we need to know about the respect in the league for the Panthers coaching staff

...and that, is a problem and an even greater problem if our GM does not fix it.

PS even with the DC, who knows how much is him vs Rivera

"I haven't watched the tape yet".

Here's what happened.....a Seattle player kept jumping over our field goal team,.... after about 2 or 3 disturbingly effective attempts, thank goodness he quit trying and we didn't have to kick another field goal because we didn't seem to have any answers.

    • 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.
