skins just signed him.

I checked that other thread but not much detail about the kind of player he is.Good pass blocker? Good run blocker?seems like he was good depth for you guys the past few years. but I don't know anything really about him.

IMO he's going to end up starting if he's anywhere close to being a solid RT.

jon jansen is riding the pine unless he proves he can pass block worth a damn,they say he's in the competition for RT but the FO rumor is that he won't start ever again... I don't want him starting either unless he's gotten a few steps back.his ankle got destroyed in 07 robbing him of what he had left. I remember in 2006 he had done a real good job with peppers,but that's so long ago...

Stephon Heyer is meh,alright pass blocker,can't run block

Mike Williams is 400 pounds.....yeah...

Jeremy Bridges...well I honestly think he's going to end up being the starting RT if he's anything close to decent.

I don't like the skins bringing turds into the locker room,but our OL is a close knit veteran bunch thats been together a while, so I sort of expect him to behave.

He likes to "Make it rain" from time to time at local eateries.....

I liked Bridges myself, and I am a bit of an O-Line buff. He filled in very well for us and provided great depth. Good veteran player who can do a little bit of everything. Wouldn't say he is great at any one technique or skill, but he can get the job done and has decent size and pretty good feet.

But what do I know?

He seemed to be a great team player. When he was on the field and the offense scored, he would always be downfield to congratulate the scorer. He seemed to give all he could on every play (that SHOULD be expected in the sport but...)

I believe the term "make it rain" involves throwing large amounts of dollar bills on the floor

Actually, what he did was spray a bottle of Dom all over the patrons of an Italian eatery in Ballentyne. It was defined as "making it rain" in the paper. Apparently all the big ballers do it.

Bridges is a good back-up and can be decent as a starter. One of his main selling points is that he possesses the versatility to play either guard or tackle. Solid is the best way to describe him. He won't dominate but he can hold his own. If he was signed for depth or as a stop-gap starter, then I'd say it was a nice pick up.

I'd say at the very least he's a depth guy(good versatility,good stopgap starter),but given the crapfest at RT if he can hold his own he's probably going to get the job.the guys who played there in 2008 and in 2007 sure as hell couldn't.

      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.
