Lions fans: "We're in a rebuild! This team will suck in 2021!"
Also Lions fans: "Why is this team not using their picks to fill the most immediate needs?!?!"
Brockers never bashed Goff. Literally only said Stafford is an upgrade. I think anyone who watches football would agree. Don’t blow it out of proportion.
I may not agree with everything Bob Quinn has done in his four years as GM, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The Lions have some really good human beings on their team, and Quinn has made an emphasis of that.
In my debut piece for
@thelionswire
, I break down every trade that
#Lions
general manager Bob Quinn has made over his three seasons in Detroit and how they've impacted the team (spoiler alert: they've worked out pretty well for us so far).
Derrick Barnes says Alex Anzalone has forced him to start making every call on the field with him in real time because ‘you are gonna be doing this one day.’
Big mentorship situation there.
So...
Six of the nine draft picks from the Lions' 2017 rookie class are currently in the playoffs.
Davis - NYG
Tabor - SEA
Golladay - NYG
Agnew - JAX
Ledbetter - JAX
O'Connor - TB

fans! I put out a new, updated Madden roster for the Lions with the 2019 draft picks and players on the team that weren’t originally in the game. Look for it on Xbox One “LIONS2019”!

OC Darell Bevell used fullbacks often in Seattle's offense, so we should expect more of the same here in Detroit. This could be big for fullback Nick Bawden, who has a lot to prove heading into 2019 after missing his rookie year due to injury.
Was just on a

plane from Philadelphia to Detroit and the left engine blew mid air. Most terrifying moment of my life and the worst part was I was in the exit row 🤦🏿♂️. Thank God for a safe landing.. could be worse I could be dead.. 🤷🏿♂️💯

players reunited:
Trey Flowers, Mitchell Loewen, and Frank Ragnow were all teammates at Arkansas during the 2014 season
Marcus Cooper and Steve Longa played together at Rutgers in 2013
Da'Shawn Hand and A'Shawn Robinson were on the same DL at Alabama for a few years
Cool little observation: Ragnow is with the OL on the sideline, talking to everyone. Saw Wiggins giving him some tips, and not long after he was with Dahl and Decker. Love the rookie’s enthusiasm.
I have a student whose football trashtalk is next level and I’m not ready to face this 8 year old tomorrow, because he will make fun of me for being a Lions fan.
I’m proud of the Detroit Lions today. This is a team that we root for not because of their play on the field, but their actions off the field. I’m happy they are standing up for what is right, and I hope more teams and players follow suit.
Hey everyone, sorry I haven’t been active on here too much lately, but I’ve been pretty busy the last few weeks! I just accepted a job teaching third grade in Falls Church, VA and have been getting ready to move out there!
Very excited to announce that I’m joining the team over at The Lions Wire! A big thanks to
@erikschlitt

If there’s anything that I’ve learned about the draft, it doesn’t matter what position you’re in, it matters who’s making the picks. I’d rather the Lions win out and bring a good general manager and head coach to Detroit than tank and draft a bust.
I’ve heard a lot of talk about Bawden lately, so I thought I’d bring this piece back up. Take a look at how Bevell has used fullbacks in the past and how Bawden will thrive in this new

@TheHonoluluBlue
breaks down why the often overlooked rookie could play a major role in 2019
Nick Bawden is back in Detroit according to his Instagram. Add on that he’s been in some of the Lions’ recent videos on social media, and I’d say that things aren’t as bad as we thought for him.
Honestly I’d love to see them on Hard Knocks. Give me all of the Lions content. Plus having a cast of Slay, Glasgow, Lang, Diggs, and Kerryon would be hilarious.
1. Coombs shouldn’t have gone against his coach
2. Bevell shouldn’t have opted for a punt to begin with
Both won’t have had jobs following the season, but the team can’t have assistant coaches going against the HC. That issue had to be resolved first.
