@RobBase I went to the internet and you guys can just sit around and agree with each other all day for all I care

Lions Offensive Line

Detroit’s offensive line probably would’ve been on this list at this time last year, too, but injuries derailed a potential step forward: Left tackle Taylor Decker missed half of the season with a shoulder injury, center Travis Swanson missed five games (he subsequently left in free agency), and big-ticket free-agent additions in T.J. Lang and Rick Wagner each missed three apiece, leaving Graham Glasgow as the only opening-game starter to play in all 16 matchups. However, 2018 provides a clean slate for Decker, Lang, and Wagner, and with the free-agency acquisition of guard Kenny Wiggins and the first-round selection of center Frank Ragnow, the Lions’ line is deeper and more talented than it’s been in years.

Ragnow could be the biggest catalyst for a breakout year—especially in the team’s ground game. The 20th overall pick is a nice piece of injury insurance to the interior line because of his versatility to play both guard or center (he’s been playing left guard in minicamps), and at either spot, should provide just the type of tenacity and technical consistency in the ground game that the Lions have sorely missed over the last few years. Detroit finished last in run blocking last year, per Football Outsiders—but if this group can stay healthy, expect big strides in 2018.

I know these are all words. I recognize what each of those words mean individually. I'm pretty sure you can even make a complete cohesive sentence with just the words you used. But that's not the route you chose to take. And I respect you for that individuality.

I never could words good, and I refuse to start now

two questions:

1) I didn't know Detroit still had a pro football team?
2) why does someone, anyone waste energy trying to "one-up" Rob?

Me and Rob have a lot of fun back and forth with the words. Most recently with the Ragnow pick. I happened to find an article that agreed with his side and instead of pretending I did not see it I intended to make a tongue in cheek thread pointing out that evidence is piling up on his side.

Unfortunately my incoherent ramblings ruined what was already an ok joke at best.

So Detroit has a new football team? That must be exciting?

I heard Ohio has a couple of football teams too. I never saw any of them play though as I only watch the playoffs.

I'm all for beefing up the O-line but picking a center in the top 20 is very Cleveland Brownish.

Our team was garbage as hell in terms of pressures and sacks.

It all begins with the lines. If this pick solidifies the middle and improves the offense then it was a pick well spent.

Same could be said with the Tomlinson pick.
No guarantee this guy is going to be any good.
