Yeah, a lot of folks are overlooking that the guy is playing his third position in as many seasons. Playing him as a deep FS was just absolutely baffling though.

Visions of early Thomas Davis mismanagement IMO.  Thomas Davis only became a real monster when he moved and really got comfortable at LB.   It took almost a decade for TD to actually be a monster

Yep, between injuries and not figuring out how to beat utilize him we never really realized how good he was until well into his career. It was actually very reminiscent of Chinn in that he played really well as a rookie in sort of a hybrid role then this happened. I hope we don't waste most of Chinns career. If we can't figure it out, trade him and let someone else have a crack at it. Just be prepared for the "I can't believe we traded Chinn" threads for years. The guy can play but with our coaching turnover, system changes, and position changes the guy can't get anything going

Thoughts on trading Chinn to the Lions for Jameson Williams? I know Williams is suspended for the first six games, but he had great chemistry with Bryce at Alabama and can stretch the filed (4.25 40) 

I’d rather trade Horn and use Chinn to get back into the first round this offseason.

Chinn was our 3lb on sunday. You guys are are running with a weird narrative here saying the team isnt using Chinn properly when they are legitimately running him the exact way you want. We did not play any other linebackers outside of Luvu, Shaq, Burns, and Houston.....

Thomas Davis was moved to LB his second year in the league. We played him at S and LB his rookie year. 

 

He was a beast his third year in the league... 87 tackles, 12 TFLs and 3.5 sacks along with 1 INT.

You expect people to watch and understand what they are looking at?

He might have played a few games ever at safety. He was a linebacker most of the time even in his rookie season. He was a linebacker in the season opener of his rookie season.. no idea what history these guys are following here

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      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.
