Find me guilty as one of those who wanted to dump Goff. This happened his first year here. I was so agitated about his refusal to throw down the field. But that in hindsight was due to the OL injuries and lack of WR talent. Once Reynolds came on board and St Brown developed there was a...

I hope and expect the Lions will find a way to get some game action for Hooker. It would be great if they were resting starters in week 17 and 18. As to Willis he was viewed as a project and went in the third round with a significant injury. Holmes has spent third round choices on a probable...

Or the Lions could start Goff at home and start Hooker on the road. <g>

On the flip side there was talk that he may have been a first round pick if not for the injury. If he is that talented we have good insurance from a Goff injury or meltdown. Additionally we and the rest of the league should get a sense if he can be a starting QB over the next year or two. If so...

Vaki maybe groomed to be Montgomery’s eventual replacement and to fill in when needed due to injury.

What things led to this decision?

Holmes being described as arrogant by anonymous NFL executive for the Martin and Manu picks. Perhaps some jealousy here but also those picks have raised eyebrows with Lions faithful. I’ve wondered about them because of the amount of draft capital. But if either hits they would support Holmes’...

It’s good to have a surplus of defensive backs. It seems that has been the position we have had many injuries to overcome.

Lions invested significant draft capital in their two projects Martin and Manu. It is going to be very interesting to see how they develop. Its weird the Lions got such value in their 6th round picks this year, but made bigger investments in project players. If either hits big its a worthy...

Swiss Army knife. I think they use him as one of the Kick off returners. Don’t want to risk Jamo or Arnold on those type of plays. Kalif more suited for punt returns.

CBS lists the Lions pick of Manu as the number 1 reach of the draft. Rated as a FA Lions were berated for giving up 2 draft picks one of them a day 2 pick. Like Martin from last year’s draft you wonder where these guys would have gone if the Lions hadn’t picked them. Holmes must view them as...

A concern for me is that in a WR heavy draft that we stood pat. Jamo has not proven himself to be reliable and Reynolds is gone. DPJ has to step up. But we are a St Brown injury away from big trouble. Still have training camp and preseason to improve.

Continuing the Lions focus on intangibles Wingo was a team captain and also won some team award for grit and spirit

Quick to the quip

Took their IOL Thought he was supposed to go earlier
