Lattanzio’s in game tactics are horrendous. As soon as he went to a back three with two wingbacks, one of Bronico or Jones needed to come out. Having seven guys that are primarily defensive with only Westwood as the orchestrator in the middle is mind bogglingly stupid. We were inviting consistent pressure and it cost us.

Most games I don't get the tactics at the end but this one I do a bit. We didn't have too many attacking options on the bench and used most of them. This was probably a good game to get Corujo some minutes off the bench as well. I hate the loss but feel better than at the beginning of the season for sure.

Ngl I'm over Bronico. Some of that is on Latt playing him out of position but he is purely a CDM in my eyes, and worse than Jones in every way except you might get a goal out of him once in a blue moon. Not as bad as Tuiloma though. Get that guy outta here please.

This one really emphasized our severe lack of depth. Couple of guys out and the team looked like a complete mess.

My problem is that when we switched to a back three our most dangerous attacker last night in Vargas was taken out then a bit later Meram was taken out. Lattanzio replaced both with an inexperienced target man in Agyemang. So out of the 11 players on the pitch, only Swiderski, Agyemang, and Westwood possessed any offensive prowess. That just seems like a recipe for conceding a goal.

I read that Vargas was hurt but not sure if true or not. I feel like it was inevitable no matter what was done. The goal was almost kept out, unlucky bounce but then again we were inches from 4-0. In the end probably got the result that was going to happen and got Corujo some minutes and pray that he can get back to form and take a center back off the field.

    • 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.   
    • 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.
