He doesn't fumble.

You could give it to him 4 times in a row for 8 yards and it's still a turnover.

More like a reason to find a better offensive play caller. When a play works they might keep on doing it until the opposition figures a way to stop it. It isn't like the Lions picked up Asiata to be the answer to every offensive play.

So it's been the all play callers fault that Asiata has never cracked a season of 4.0+ a carry in 5 seasons in the NFL?

He generally only got used in short yardage, goal line, and clock killing situations those type of backs rarely crack 4.0

Looks like Tabor is going to matched against the Big WRs. So far so good. Not sure he would ever be able to hang with the likes of Julio and Dez though.

Cool. Can't wait to give up 30 points a game.

Slay should be shadowing #1 receivers.

Agreed. Lets hope Slay has a faster start this season. Preseason camp will be more interesting than OTAs thats for sure.

Who does?

Looks like Cornhole is getting half the snaps at LT now. Robinson should be back soon too. Will be interesting to see who wins the job.

The big winner will be Dr. James Andrews once Stafford goes down.

Rudock is better than him anyway.

Besides picking up the 2 tackles Q Diggs is back in the slot so far.

Bigger news is that Marvin Jones has been working with Randy Moss. Hiopefully, he can show MJ how to beat press coverage.

Golladay all set and doing well so far.

Kenny Golladay - WR - Lions
Lions signed third-round WR Kenny Golladay to a four-year contract.

The signing wraps up the Lions' draft class. It was somewhat surprising when the Lions reached into the second day to select Golladay, but every report out of the offseason program so far suggests they made the right decision. Golladay is the favorite for the No. 3 job.

Thorton Roiding? He should get his money back. For now he gets a 6 week all expense paid vacation.

I thought it was a weird re-signing.
I don't ever recall that dude making any big plays last year. Giving him 6 million or whatever is was made ZERO sense to me. Looks even worse now.

 

[Old Lion]

Fells expected to play more. Lions will use a lot of 2 TE sets according to Cooter. No kidding. We dont have a LT so I expect a blocking TE on that side every play. Ebron is a WR anyway so its really just going to look like a regular offense now instead of a no TE offense.

He is done here for sure. Too bad. Had some potential.

According to ESPN Lions reporter Michael Rothstein, newly acquired OT Greg Robinson is "locked in" as the starting left tackle heading into training camp.

Acquired from the Rams last month, Robinson was arguably the worst tackle in the league the past couple seasons. New Rams coach Sean McVay quickly gave up on him, but the Lions don't have many other options to replace Taylor Decker (shoulder surgery), other than Cyrus Kouandjio, but he's also recovering from hip surgery. A once-strong Lions offensive line took a major step back after Decker's injury.

I think Corey Robinson is back too. Maybe we can get A'shawn to play a little LT as well. I am a proponent of the Best Available Robinson strategy.

Coo coo ca choo.
