The Detroit Lions waived-injured Crosby on Monday in a stunning move that comes months after they made their presumptive swing offensive tackle available via trade.

Apparently he has a hamstring injury.  I am thinking he was unhappy Detroit drafted a tackle in the 1st and he lost his starting job.  Played both left and right tackle for the Lions last year.  

Get 'em Fitterer!!!

Wait, I thought he played fullback?  Hold on, didn't he retire a long time ago??  How can he play games and be an announcer???  I'm so confused????? 😆

Some things Lions fans are saying about the Crosby cut: 

I really liked Crosby and was hoping we'd keep him. Seeing how well he played as a fill-in starter for so many games last year, I have a hard time believing he was not worthy of a roster spot. Oh well, "what have you done for me lately" is what it comes down to, and I guess they didn't see it in him through the offseason. Wish him the best.

This looks like a red flag to me with this staff. You don’t cut swing tackles on rookie deals who have played well in previous seasons. The only way this makes sense is if they think the injury is going to hamper him/prevent him from playing all year and they know he is walking in FA next year. I suspect we will not look back kindly on this move.

Let's not forget, I'm not exactly sure on the waiver period, but they potentially could be trying to sneak him through for the practice squad which can have 16 members this season same could be said for Mike Ford

There's no chance a guy with an NFL OT body is making it through waivers.

Those guys are as rare as hen's teeth in this day and age.

Are we not high on the waiver list?  If he somehow makes it to us past the first several teams, we need to pounce!

This guy is wrong. Pretty sure they cannot put him on the practice squad if he's waived with an injury designation. Either another team claims him, or he reverts to the Lions' IR for the year. If he goes on IR, I imagine they would cut him with an injury settlement once he's healthy. No reason to keep a guy on an expiring contract that they don't want on IR for the year.

What else can they do?

Can't stash him on IR as he's not injured. Can't cut him as then you can't trade him. Isn't technically suspended by the NFL yet either I don't believe. They're in a tough bind.

Why is this a surprise?  Surely no one expected he would just be cut, right?

This is really the only thing they can do.  His trade value is non-existent right now, right or wrong.  He's worth $67 million in dead cap this year and $51 million next year.  The only way the Texans get out from under that is by waiting until 2023 to cut him OR find a trade partner.

      It’s comes down to special teams.

      By KingKucci · Posted

      Rod has absolutely been my favorite coach of all time, but its not working in the playoffs.  Its just not.  Hindsight, we should have went with the goalie rotation we did the regular season.  It was working.  Freddie is coincidently getting worse in the playoffs.  You see the correlation there.    However, missing Pesce and Fast is not helping.  Benching Noesen in Ot last night when net from goals was working is mind numbing.  Rod needs to be held accountable.     We also need our shutdown line back.  I know fast is out but Staal Maartnook and "insert" need to play.  But like you said, nothing matters if your special teams are poo.  and boy are they poo.  7 power play goals allowed in 6 games is how bad the PK was to start the year.  Yall remeber how awful we were to start the year.  Power play is atroicus.  Its 0-11 is insane how bad that it is.  You cant and wont win against the presidents club winner playing like that.  Lastly, goalie play is average to bad.  You arent going to win allowing 8 goals in 2 games.  We need our goalies to make saves.   Discipline.  We don't have it.  We know the Rags are going to flop.  We know the refs are going to fug us.  Its what it is.  How do you fix it?  Mindful of your stick.  Forecheck...hit it and see it.  Dont give them the chance to flop or call penalties.     Rod needs to be held accountable.  Its not working.  Playoff Rod is playoff rod for a reason.  not because we made it up.     Lastly, no its not over.  These are correctable things.  We could easily win the next two at home and boom, GAME ON!  But for that to happen, Discipline, PK, PP, and goalie must be better. Its alot more than just winning 5v5.  They all tie together.  If I had to pick 1 to be good.  PK.  Stopping that like we did all year, would solve most problems.
