Larsen: An unused asset with a fresh multi-year contract


saX man

Recommended Posts

We signed Larsen to a nice 2-year extension and the guy has spent half his career (college+pro combined) at guard.  

He's shown to be a good fill in for Kalil, so why not have him be the primary backup at G as well?  It gives flexibility for the type of situation we are in right now. 

We could be working a line like: Moton-Van Roten-Kalil-Larsen-Robinson/Clark this Sunday but we're smashing Amini in our faces again.  Let's say Turner comes back next week and then Kalil gets banged up, slide Larsen back in to C.  He helps maintain consistency in the G/C primary capacity.    

Are we just dedicating Larsen 100% to C since he'll likely take it over next season?  He's a completely capable Guard that we aren't using and don't believe having him 100% at backup center does anything special for him.    

Donde Larsen?

I think they’re trying to protect him for the back up C role, which I’m honestly fine with. 

Yep. Sad Ryan needs insurance like that. Larson should be starting at C, backed up by Roten and R Kalils salary and the rest of the cap should be going to Norwell but meh what can you do, it’s Hurney.

It's not "insurance"  that in the real world only Ryan Kalil would get. Every team does the same thing, protecting important positions.

Disagree. Very few successful team’s backups play as well if not better than their starters, especially starters who’ve played less than 50% of snaps the past two years and make 5x as much, and could save money buy cutting them. Roten can play C and I believe I is perfectly capable of backing up Larsen.

    Yea, but that does not play as well to those who love to throw shade at Hurndog.

Not about shade it’s recognizing the same reasons he was fired by a man who adored him rearing it’s head. If you think R Kalil was kept by Hurney purely for football reasons and what he can offer this team for its future well what can I say.

Sorry but there was absolutely no reason to keep R Kalil over starting Larson, that’s my opinion and observation.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
