The knee stuff is a bit overblown. He was talking about normal issues you have as a lineman.

 

You carry a ton of extra weight and explode out of stance (counting practices and camps) probably a few thousand times each season. 

 

They freaking are shot to hell after a few years and it's just pain management for the rest of your life. 

 

We are talking about 120-150 extra lb of pressure on your knees, ankles and feet combined with using and putting explosive force on them constantly and consistently every week. 

 

Mine still haven't recovered from highschool and I'm 41. Lmfao

You know who says their chronic knee issues are magically resolved? Someone currently in negotiations for $40M+ in new money.

You know whose chronic knee issues don't magically resolve? 30+ year old 300+ football players.

Its a two year extension you guys are a trip. Why would he say both in the same conversation? Lol he clearly overspoke 

Taylor is not a DR. Chronic is a very bland term, meaning repetitive it also doesn't mean pain/discomfort or inability.

I'm old enough to remember when the Huddle turned it's nose up to Andrew Whitworth for being too old. 

We passed and he went to the Rams and played at a Pro Bowl level until his late 30s.

The front office has far more insight into Moton's health than anyone here. 

I'm happy we are keeping this group together

I doubt they're serious. But if they're chronic they're worsening and it caused him to miss games last year while having his workload carefully managed. If we were trying to squeeze a couple more years out of a SB window I would better understand it but that's the opposite of our current situation. IMO, this was clearly a situation where you let the guy play out this season and see how it goes. You always have the option of the franchise tag in your back pocket if need be.

That's sort of what I mean. If this is a situation that this is likely to continue to degrade pretty steadily, I would call that serious. 

I am curious if we end up with the highest price tag OL in 2026 now.

The man literally missed games last year and had to have his workload carefully managed. Why? Because of pain/discomfort and inability. A lot of chronic knee issues come down to pain management. No doctor can tell you how it's going to go. If they do they're lying to you. We know how it went last year.

      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.

      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.
