because I was not able to watch the game. I had to wait until the NFL network replayed the game. Culpepper looked like a back up. Not trying to discredit Culpepper. But, at times he looked somewhat unsure of what to do. I know not having CJ in. And playing behind a phantom offensive line. Will do that to any quarterback. He made some great plays. And he made some bad mistakes. But the Lions were in position to win the game because of Culpepper. Not because of the running game. Not because of the defense. I think Culpepper has some mobility issues. Not in the ability to take off and run with the ball. But in his lateral movement. Side stepping or stepping up in the pocket. And it did not seem he had his old arm stength either. But overall I would have given him a passing grade. I think some people are on him. Because, like myself. Felt that he would be mistake free. He is the vet. He would not make dumb mistakes. That seems alittle unfair. After all they were playing the Steelers.

I thought Jansen played well though. When Gos comes back. I am praying that Schwartz puts Gos at LT. At lest give him a shot. I keep seeing Harrison bull rushing Backus in me sleep. Dosen’t Backus out weight Harrison by 60 lbs.? This failed nine year experiment of Backus playing LT. It has got to end.
