Chinn may have the best rookie year of drafted DBs..


Tepper's Chest Hair

Recommended Posts

Ouch. I didn't realize that Delpit ruptured his Achilles. The ACL gets all the attention, but the Achilles is a far more devastating injury to come back from. Most guys come back a shadow of their former selves. Trying to come back from that injury as a rookie... man, that sucks. I wasn't super high on him already, but his career may have been derailed before he ever really had a chance to show what he might be able to truly do at the NFL level.

Chinn needs to add another 15-20 lbs to be a LB. What is the obsession on having Chinn play LB? I don’t want a Haason Reddick 2.0? Chinn was drafted to play safety. Play the kid at safety and leave him alone!

Not an obsession, it's where he has been playing in camp.  We are good at safety, so playing him at LB this year in Shaqs role makes sense.

Did we forget Jeff Okudah was drafted? 

AFAIK its not even known for sure Okudah will be Lions week 1 starter.  As of last Sunday there was still serious doubt if he'd be ready to start.

So for me, it’s still a little discouraging that Jeff Okudah hasn’t come out and at least made it perfectly clear he belongs above Amani Oruwariye and/or Desmond Trufant on the depth chart out the gate. Nothing against either of the other two, they just didn’t cost a third overall pick for their services.

Still … with the 2020 restrictions – not starting Week 1 would be a red flag, but not a real cause for concern, yet.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
