Atrocious game from him. Almost gave up another one earlier with all the lazy passes back to the keeper.

I was going to say earlier that LB is a weakness for this team. Mora hasn’t impressed at all and it’s clear at this point that Fuchs cannot play LB in a back four. He can play inside or LCB in a 3-5-2 or a similar formation with WB’s but he simply can’t keep up with the pace of wingers when he’s isolated as a LB.

Atlanta fan – I attended the game. Actually entered the Benz with with CFC fans, who were out in surprising force and lively throughout (drums, banners, chants, etc.).

Kahlina put in a MOTM performance – fantastic showing. Entire stadium was buzzing after a few of those saves.  Fuchs is obviously (still) a classy player, but he doesn't have the pace to play out wide in the MLS anymore.

Good match, we’ll see you again soon!

I am super excited for this team. A year ago I would never have been watching MLS and now I have a team to route for! Ben Bender is going to be a fantastic player for us until he gets shipped off to Europe. I am excited to see his growth. I was super impressed as a rookie he was doing corners on both sides. I have no expectations from this team this year and hell probably next year but they looked worlds better in the 2nd half than the 1st. This team will grow and when we get more speed on the wings and more consistent play in the middle we are going to be fun to watch!

There’s some talent there.

We have two roster slots open heading into the summer transfer window which is the big window for European transfers.

It will be interesting to see what this team looks like in mid July.

If they can find a better LB than Fuchs and maybe move into a CB role, then I think that would solidify the back. As it was mentioned, he got exposed as the game wore on. The team is not far off

Looks like a 4-4-2 tonight, maybe a diamond with the four in the midfield.

GK - Kahlina - (Marks)

LB - Fuchs - (Armour/Mora)

LCB - Makoun

RCB - Corujo - (Walkes)

RB - Lindsey - (Afful)

CDM - Alcivar - (Jones)

CM - Franco - (Ortiz)

CM - Bronico - (Ruiz)

ACM - Bender (I list him as an ACM but I think he’ll play a false 9 today)

LS - Rios

RS - Swiderski - (Gaines)

Potential subs are behind the starters.

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

      By strato · Posted

      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.
