PrintSo it's been widely reported that Stephen Tulloch just tweeted he was mulling over some free agent decisions. So I, along with other POD members, say let's all tweet him some Lions love. A few of us have already got the ball rolling:
Natrone420 Nate DeRusha
@stephentulloch Here’s to hoping the D-cision you have to make involves Honolulu Blue and Silver
@stephentulloch would love to see you in the D. Lions on the upswing. Gotta love that defensive line. Make a MLB's job much easier.
So I urge all POD members with Twitter accounts to tweet Tulloch to let him know how much we need him here. Show him the love and let him know he will be loved in Detroit.

As you can probably tell by now, Lions fans really want you to join us…

I was just reading on the eagles’ site about us going on twitter to persuade tulloch to come here and posted his account for them to do the same.

personally i dont like ST.. small slow didnt do much under JS.. only popped up this year for a big contact imo
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
said this though better then any one we have.. but still think all he wants is a pay day
@stephentulloch i hear the lions have a Farley SUHperior DL
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
Despite the fact...
That I seriously think you’re trolling right now, let me hit you with some facts.
Stephen Tulloch over the past 3 years has started in 41 games, and played in all 48. He’s averaged 121 combined tackles PER SEASON, 3 passes defended per season (which isn’t great, I’ll admit). On average, he stops 41% of all passes thrown his way, stops 67% of all run plays that channel into him, and gives up an average of 3.03 yards per run play.
(This info was all obtained using Football Outsiders/NFL.com)
By comparison, Deandre Levy has missed 5 games over the past 2 seasons (-16% compared to Tulloch), averaged 78.5 combined tackles per season (42 less per season), has 4.5 passes defended per season (1.5 over Tulloch). On average, he stops 38.5% of all passes thrown his way (-2.5% compared), stops 73.5% of all run plays that channel into him (6.5% on Tulloch), and gives up an average of 3.25 yards per run play (.22 yards per play worse).
So, in closing, Tulloch is basically a carbon copy of Levy (our clear cut starter), only he’s less injury prone and a better tackler. I for one would NOT mind having 2 DeAndre Levy’s anchoring our Linebacking corps. 3rd LB doesn’t matter that much, as the 3rd LB typically comes out of the game in nickel packages anyways.
I rest my case. In Tulloch we trust.
actually it is a avg of 95
and levy is trash so i dont know why you are comparing the 2.. not to mention they are 2 completely different kinds of LBs
and our LBs dont leave on 3rd
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
Actually
It’s an average of 121. 160 + 121 + 84 = 365.
365 (number of combined tackles over 3 years) / 3 (total number of years) = 121.6 repeating.
Your arithmetic lesson is now concluded.
Statistically speaking, Levy (over the past two years) is ranked as the 30th best LB in the league. He’s not elite, but he sure as hell isn’t “trash”.
Your logic session is now concluded.
A Nickel package in football is where you have 2 LB’s on the field, the Mike Back and the Sam Back. The 3rd backer in the formation (the weak side back) is removed and replaced with an extra corner, to aid in coverage. As a result, there ends up being 3 CB’s and 2 DB’s (Free Safety and Strong Safety) on the field. 3+2 = 5 DB’s, hence the term “Nickel” package. So yes, in a NICKEL package, we DO remove our 3rd a.k.a. weakside backer (which neither Tulloch or Levy are) from the field.
Your football schooling is now concluded.

hey now
let’s not confuse the issue with facts
you lesson in being facetious is now concluded

so you just cut our 2007 and 2006?? did he not play?? you cant pick and chouse to make him sound better
levy sucks dude take off the goggles
and the lions like to leave there LBs.. that why versatility is so important in this D

I give up.

At least you learn quick
Nice out of left field statistics though. I was already on board with Tulloch coming, that statistical breakdown was like icing on the cake.

levy was hurt most of last year he will be beastly when hes healthy this year
by Daniel Simonelli on Jul 28, 2011 2:29 AM EDT up reply actions
maybe.. but he hasn't shown me anything to prove he will
it the ,mental part of the game i dont think he can handle.. there is a number of plays a game where he stands there and lets the ball carry run by him as if he where still digesting the play
i gues you could say it about what he hasnt done more then what he has
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
Someone give a shout for me.
I’m a fan, and him coming to us would be awesome. I had him, and have him now on one of my fantasy team, would love to see it change from Ten to Det.

best Front 7 with LBs: Durant, Tulloch, Carpenter, Palmer, Levy, Follett
@stephentulloch you got to bring it to the D. This is going to be the best front seven in football with you right in the middle.Delmas uptop
excited about our LB corp
…but will we be too run heavy with Durant and Tulloch on the field? Both (especially Durant) appear to be liabilities in coverage. Durant played all over and mostly WLB from what I see but he seems more like a mike to me.
I anticipate 60-75% of our defensive snaps will be against the pass so OLBs who can cover are very important.
possibly...
…but I think the mentality is that we will be able to rush the passer well enough that WR/TE/RB’s won’t be able to get behind our linebackers coverage. We’ve seen/heard it a lot out of Schwartz…don’t give up the big plays.
by lionstilidie on Jul 28, 2011 11:29 AM EDT up reply actions
not in 2011
I agree on the concern. But our schedule features a lot of run-heavy teams…short-term, but still important none-the-less
