Yeah, the Brown and Bouye inactives make zero sense to me.  No way Bouye's is due to the same "soft tissue" injury he missed all of camp with.  I just think Rhule is uncomfortable messing with what's been working and/or is worried about Bouye's conditioning translating well into the game.

Also, I 100% believe in this team, so I don't know if it's repeated trauma haunting me from seasons past, but this game is much bigger than people are making it out to be for us.  It has all of the makings of one of those sneaky trap games that we have faltered in in the past - injury depleted team, short week, prime time/nationally televised game, and we're starting to pick up momentum as a national darling of sorts.  I really hope Rhule keeps our guys hungry and don't allow them to buy into their own hype thus far.  Play this game like we're 0-0, the opponent is at full strength, and we haven't proven anything yet.  Just the circumstances around this game give me Fox/Rivera era heebie jeebies.

I wonder how many other fan bases are twisting themselves in knots over a 6th round pick not being active.

How far as Sam Darnold come with the Panthers? From 2018-20 Darnold had the lowest Total QBR among 38 qualified quarterbacks at 41.7. After two games with the Panthers, heading into Thursday night's game at Houston, he ranks sixth at 66.3. To put that more in perspective, Tom Brady, who already has thrown nine touchdown passes for Tampa Bay, ranks 8th at 64.9

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      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.
