I'll bet you a button and nickel that you will be disappointed in the play time of our starters. 

I think it's still possible we don't see Bryce at all this preseason.  

There's is no point in trying to hide the offense nor Young. We've seen him out there before. Canales has just as much at stake as Young right now. If he cannot come up with a way to beat our defense he's toast. He sees film on them every day and Evero is eating Canales lunch.

It's no secret. I'm willing to be the starters will play a lot in game 2. Especially if the come out and go 3 and out repeatedly. 
 

 

I think Canales will say the scrimmage was the real preseason game and ‘rest’ the starters again this week.

Canales didn't draft Young.  Canales doesn't have to go out there and poo the bed until he has to. 

I think our O potentially could be worse than last year.  In terms of the actual pass aspect.   I don't think Bryce is good and I don't think he pairs with Canales.  I've said that for months.

    • 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.
