Given the 'queens paid top dollar for Rieff to improve their line, and the Lions got their number two back at a reasonable cost, I think Detroit is way ahead. Not that it was the result of a trade, just how things worked out. Asiata is a steady influence in the backfield, can contribute to the Lions offense, and should pay dividends when it comes to scheming against an in division rival. It's not like he's being touted as the second coming of Barry, just a potential contributor that needs to prove his place on the squad.

Looks like they cut Burton to make room for Asiata

Matt Asiata brought in. Should be the short yardage guy if he sticks. Can back up ZZ in a pinch as the late game back (assuming we ever get ahead in a game). Might have to let Washington or Burton go in order to keep him.

Maybe people will start to see the value of a guy that can get you 2 yards when you need them.

Yes. People get so distracted by giving Stafford passing weapons, but giving him a legit rushing weapon (he has never had anything approaching a RB) . Draft his ass a RB and sign one too.

MA is not even remotely close to a legit running weapon (not even for 2 yards). It is also why you have not heard his name since he left here.

They should be running Riddick and Zenner more, Abdullah less. Abdullah is dangerous as a change-of-pace guy, but he's not a lead back. He's also not a goal-line back - I never want to see him there again. Riddick is being way underutilized.

Zenner needs to play.


Washington brings nothing to the team.
