Drew Stanton
Louis Delmas
Darius Slay
A'shawn Robinson

of the 16 second round picks by the Lions since 2007, these are the only four to have even made it to the end of their rookie contracts with the team. Delmas and Slay are the only ones who got new contracts.

I would simply choose to always score TDs and never need field goals.

It sounds like both of those guys were really bad anyway, so. Go find someone else on the scrap heap.

Or don't! I want that first overall.

lol, Pride of Detroit literally ran an article suggesting the Lions should do this a few days ago. It's actually not as insane as it sounds:

quote:

With so many questions at running back, receiver, defensive tackle, linebacker, corner, and safety, a single extra roster spot could be crucial. When cutdown day comes, I think the Lions should part ways with both of their kickers to free up another roster spot.

But doesn’t that mean you don’t have a kicker, a necessary position? Yes it does, but not for long.

Due to how roster rules work, a player placed on the Injured Reserve (IR) during preseason is out for the entire season, such as Shaun Dion Hamilton. However, a player placed on the IR after the roster is reduced to 53 players is eligible to return some time during the season, potentially after just three weeks. This is the key aspect of why the Lions should cut their kickers.

The Lions have two players who are likely candidates for the IR: Logan Stenberg and Da’Shawn Hand. If the Lions put either player on the IR right now, they would be out for the season, a non-ideal situation if their injuries aren’t serious. If the Lions want to put them on the IR, but still wish to play them this year, they will have to make the initial roster.

By cutting Bullock and Gonzalez, the Lions can use a roster spot on another player. For example, this could mean keeping Hand and Kevin Strong—under normal circumstances, Strong might not make the cut. When Hand goes on IR after the roster has been established, this opens up another roster spot, which can be filled by a kicker.

I knew what I was getting into with the Bort jersey but I thought for sure that a punter the team spent draft capital on would be around for a while.

Probably the guy they drafted in the 5th round last year, Kindle Vildor. Duke Shelley is more of a nickel corner's body. Both of our starting CB's were rookies last year

Either way I think they currently have more Safeties on the roster than Cornerbacks

Bortles the QB is over, but Bortles the experience is still kicking.

Also have the Packers won a game in Florida in the last 10 years? They last won in Florida Week 1 2016 against Jacksonville.

hes probably top 5 most enjoyable bears qb since i started watching them

He was getting picked on so bad in the preseason you could almost hear the other teams on the sideline just saying “throw at 22”.

The pass rush is going to be the only way a decent QB won’t beat them this season.
