Delmas scowled at approaching reporters in the locker room after Sunday’s 31-24 loss to Arizona. He lost his composure. He flipped over a chair.
“We lost!” Delmas yelled at reporters. “What you want? What you got to ask me?”
Delmas stared at reporters defiantly.
“That’s what I thought,” he said.

This is the guy I want leading this defense. He cares about winning, makes plays, and he’s got that inner fire. No complacency here. No quietly accepting defeat. No B.S. about reviewing film and working on technique, like Dennis Northcutt tried to snow us with last week. No giving up. Delmas is quickly becoming my favorite Lion on D.

“I don’t really pay attention to the record, because if I did, I’d probably kill myself,” he said. “I just pay attention to the game. But obviously once you’re losing, you’re not going to see no smile on this face or nothing.”

…it means he will continue to try and improve, knowing him. And hopefully, his energy will spread through the rest of the team. It needs to desperately.

Happy healing, K-Smith.

…they don’t just start Stanton. I am not an advocate for Stanton any more than I am Culpepper, but why not at this juncture? He has more of a chance to be on our team next year than Daunte does, and the experience would be crucial if Staff goes down again next year…which is likely unless we improve tenfold on the o-line.

this is exactly why i love louis delmas. i wish we had 11 of him on defense

Delmas is the man and has officially become a favourite player of mine. QB-situation-wise, I’d like to see Stafford play, mainly because I think we can win that way, but if he still is injured I say play Stanton, the team showed a whole lot of enthusiasm with him on the field. It’s like they have confidence in his play. I don’t think I could watch another Culpepper lead offence.
