Lions Overcome Early Sloppiness To Beat Bills, 28-23

smith looked like ass aghen..

dede and brown why out preformed him..

D was ok bend but dont brake..

 I don’t know how far he is away from gettting that cast removed if its at least two weeks away I say we put him on the pup and let him fully recover the first 6 weeks. He seemed to favor that side and he couldn’t wap up when he needed to ,that cost us yardage. He did have his reciever blanketed most of the time but on slant routes I think he will be easy picken’s for a competent QB. He could be a spark to the defense after the bye week but as long as he has that cast on he is a liability. I really liked his enthusiastic play.

let alone “solidified” his spot as the 3rd string QB…

I just shake my head that a QB like Hill is under performing and everyone feels he’s the better QB. I honest wouldn’t mind seeing Hill cut and few other guys cut after today’s game and honestly, after today’s game I think the decisions to cut guys should be a lot easier on Schwartz.

I just seen the drop….this dude positively sucks. It has to be a mental thing that he can’t overcome.

making any difference in the defense??? I know he’s a rookie and has a lot to learn. Just wondering.

Okay Wayne….where are the Paul Pratt posts? Come on man…you know you want to!

Same type of runners.

Pratt’s INT was a gimme, but then he had to haul chili the whole way. Cohen 2 sacks, Dorsey & Williams a TD each. (Felton’s not a bubble guy IMO.) So do we just cut the late camp-body signings and practice-squad the lower echelon rookies? Pay Northcutt a mil-and-a-half just to return punts? Nice to see a preseason end with more questions than groans. But we’ll face Spiller in Wk 10, though.

Can’t wait for the 53 man roster to come out with kevin as the number 2 back like we all assumed 3 months ago. We can move on to FOOTBALL. Kev had no holes to run through they kept calling plays up the gut and the lineman couldn’t give him a lane.

To get the whack.

There was no receiver even close to him.

Maybe our 2’s and 3’s don’t suck as bad as we think?

Maybe someone actually is coaching em up?

i am really worried about Levy and Delmas.

if we are healthy, we have a competitive D and an O that can run the trackmeet. otherwise, we are in for trouble.

Follett has come along nicely i must say.

Look there is one person on this team that can compete with smith for the number 2 spot at RB and his name is not Brown or Dorsey. With the type of offense we run the only real competition to Smith is Morris IMO. He is the only other back that is a complete back. I think Kevin wins out easily in that one, he is younger and still recovering mentally from that injury. Not to mention that it would be a shit move for the front office to cut a guy that works so hard, has put in so much effort, has so much heart, and just as talented as anyone not named Best. This might be a “business” and all, but sometimes you know in your heart what the right thing to do is, and Kevin deserves the chance to fully recover from his injury. He has earned at least that much since he sacrificed his body for the team in the first place. If he was unable to perform I could understand a cut, but he is able to perform, at a decent level too.

Dont get me wrong I love me some Felton and Brown but they fill different roles on this roster and that is full back and change of pace / 3rd down back. Morris may make the team with one of the lower roster spots anyways but Dorsey has to go. As much as I like DeDe he brings nothing to the table that is unique or even solid for that matter. Yes he has all right speed and can make some decent plays but so does Best, Brown, and even Smith. All DeDe brings is broken hopes and dreams from the flashes he gives you before he fumbles.

I noticed something with Kevin tonight. Menatlly his confidence is not there. I dont know if it is bad habit from last year or what but I did see one where he could have bounced and took the outside edge, and I think he would have outrun the guy. Instead he cut it up field and took the sure 3-4 yards. I think that kind of defines Kevin in some ways but I can tell you that he is not only our best pass protect back, even better than Felton, but he is an ideal back to chew clock and eat time of possession. Don’t get me wrong I am still all right with trading him, but that is a different issue entirely than cutting him and getting nothing in return.

are avg at everthing they dont do one thing that is outstanding

brown and dede do have a outstanding talent.. abd tats speed.. they can do ever thing smith can and more..

Smith may not ever recover to be his former self but he deserves to be given that chance

no he dosnt imo.. even if he comes back to who he was he would still be avg.. there are 100s of backs just like smith

and to your 3rd and 20.. i want best felton brown dede mories then smith..

rember that tip toe play dede maid that was about a 15 yarder.. lest see smith make that..

People behind Smith are set on him
People against Smith are set against him
Perrsonally I am set on the team, whatever way they go I will trust, I can see valid points on both sides of it and obviously I have my own personal take on the matter

I think he just solidified his spot on the team with his performance last night.
