The Official Detroit Lions Den Thread

Real disappointed Hooker was released because he did so well for UT. Maybe he
Might??? Make the practice squad.
Can't really understanding them releasing
Dan Skipper. Seemed like a solid backup.

I was hoping he would make practice squad until I saw this comment from Dan Campbell "“How much development do you believe there still is? Sometimes does the player need a change of scenery?”"

Sounds like he's gone period. Hopefully he does well somewhere else... outside of the NFC North.

QB- Goff/Hooker (2)
RB- Gibbs/Montgomery/Reynolds/Vaki (4)
WR- St. Brown/Williams/Patrick/TeSlaa/Raymond/Lovett (6)
TE- LaPorta/Wright/Zylstra (3)
OT- Sewell/Decker/Manu/Jones (4)
IOL- Mahogany/Glasgow/Ratledge/Awosika/Egaukan (5)
DE- Hutchinson/Davenport/Muhammad (3!!!)
DT- Reader/Williams/Lopez/O'Connor/Wingo/Smith (6)

CB- Reed/Arnold/Robertson/Ya-Sin/Dorsey (5)
SS- Joseph/Branch/Maddox (3)
Specialist- Bates/Fox/Hatten (3)

PUP: McNeill, Frazier, Rodriguez, Paschal

I am very surprised that they went with 3 EDGE's but they are definitely getting somebody and have a plan.

I'm surprised Smith made the list. I really liked Cooper.

I am curious what the plan is on the backend.

QB- Goff/Hooker (2)

Think you meant Goff/Allen. Hooker is gone

 

[General Jack]

Now we have to deal with Micah Parson 2x this season. I wonder how effective he'll been in week 1?

13-4, NFC North Champs, #2 Seed. Make the Super Bowl. My official prediction.

Adjusted to 13-4, still have them making the Super Bowl.

With Morton being in the booth AND Dan saying this, I’m starting to wonder if Dan might be the play caller

Mina Kimes and Ben Solak: “I’m picking the Packers because this game is in Green Bay.”

Both refuse to acknowledge Dan Campbell and the Lions have won 3 straight in Green Bay by a combined 28 points lol

The Lions anticipated turnover. Their principles prepared them for it

Culture, leadership and staffing are the core principles of the organization's pact and it's at the root of their turnaround and success.
