Your reaction if we go DBs in the first couple rounds?

I would not be mad if we went at least one DB.  IF we went two it better be because our board fell that way with BPA.

 

Corners are probably the 4th or 5th most sought after position for any team.  Everybody should have at least one guy they feel can take away the other teams best WR.

 

With the love affair with huge fast TE's you really need two or at least one great one and another guy that can spy a Graham-type.

 

This does not seem likely however based on what we have now.  Granted if Hardy walks that could change,but as it stands now, you pressure with the front four, fill with athletic playmakers at linebacker,  plug n play DB's behind that big rush, and bank on the pressure to let average cover guys make big plays.  If we are lucky enough to get some guys back there who happen to have a good balance between discipline and aggression with this approach, it can be a good gamble.  That is how the "bend don't break" approach works without having to play too much umbrella "prevent".  To me, we are much closer to fielding a team with this philosophy than one that is all of a sudden gonna dare you to throw the ball on them at all based solely on coverage.  Plus, with our cap situation and needs along offensive line as well as at flanker it just does not seem likely.

 

That said,  all this could change. I know this is kind of a cop out answer but if we lose Hardy, dependent on what we get in return, there may be all sorts of scenarios that become possible.

 

Smart  GM's like options.  I think Gett is a very smart guy with plenty of experience to navigate just about whatever goes down.  In addition to that feather in our cap, this draft is pretty deep.  There is a decent chance that whoever is disappointed by the first picks can end up pleasantly surprised by what we get in the middle rounds.

 

I'm optimistic.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
