this is one of the most surreal moments ever. I was heartbroken when pep left. he was my first jersey. I worshipped that guy. I gave the jersey to my mom so she could wear it on football dress code days at work. honestly would've used it as a cum rag if it stayed in my closet.

now, I'm gonna dust that fugger off and wear it like it's 2003.

welcome home you beautiful bastard!!!

And it's a legit signing too man...he will add to the pass rush and can be used in some "creative" packages.

Modern medicine and people who take care of themselves and sprinkle in some luck and genetics....players can play well past 32...Smitty could still do 1k and 10 at places like NE if he wanted.

I'm all for this signing and I was all for the Kalil signing, but you have to admit it is very weird how we're only going after former players and family of current ones. We like to get our App State and Wofford and Charlotte high school alums as well. This organization is ran too much like a mom 'n pop store for my liking. I assume the next signing will be Munnerlyn.

Well Gettleman is nothing like Hurney and other GMs so....what's the common denominator here?

Do you think JR actually is influencing anything? Or is it we shouldn't have let certain people go in the first place?

Yes that includes Captain...he was/is a good nickle and shouldn't have ever played outside to begin with...and he adds to STs.

    • 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.
