Whitehead did appear as questionable on the injury report, but was listed as active on gameday. 

He did not play a single snap against the Lions. 

So, is this because of his rib injury or has he been benched?

No whitehead = shutout, is it a coincidence? I think not. Boston still led the team in tackles so we have to be careful here as Carter, Jr had the same amount of tackles as Whitehead did against Tampa. It would be great to see a linebacker with 6 or 7 tackles a game. I miss those days.

I will have much higher regard for this coaching staff if, indeed, he was benched.

I believe those on the field wanted to be on the field the most. Whitehead has been playing like he wants to collect his check and be healthy for his next run at free agency.

I think Shaq called him and others like him out and it paid off. Saw too many players like Whitehead on our All-Star defense last year.

Lets hope it was a benching.

To be fair, Boston actually wrapped up guys yesterday, and so did Shaq a couple times. 

But again, perspective, people. It was the Detroit Lions. Who have won 4 games despite having quite possibly the worst head coach in the NFL in Matt Patricia. And, did anyone notice this stat yesterday:

Since Barry Sanders retired after the 1998 season, the Lions have tried 38 different starting running backs over those 22 seasons and all of them combined have not totaled what Sanders ran for over his 10-season career.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
