Lions' Tulloch near answer on unclear status

Should have an answer, and hopefully an explanation, on Tully soon.

I see Michael Williams tore his ACL. Won't play in NE this year. We made out huge on that deal.

He probably was not going to make it anyway. Pats picked up Martellus Bennett and Clay harbor so he would see zero snaps at TE. Best case for him was short yardage and Goal line snaps. He would likely get beat out for that too.

Didnt we use that pick on Landes?

I thought we gave it back for Bostic. Idk.

Landes would make it the most lopsided deal in Lions history.

Ah,OK. Still a good deal though. A much cheaper and younger version of Tulloch. Will make a nice backup MLB.

Someone talking about Jimmy Landes???

Anquan Boldin visiting the Lions today.

I wonder how many we are going to carry. I know we are getting rid of the no-names, but there are only so many we can carry on the active roster. I do like the idea of using him as a return guy though. I really dont want to see our offensive stars back there.

Id love to see Boldin in Detroit.

10 QUESTIONS WITH TWENTYMAN: Which rookie impressed the most? 

Quick notes:
-So looks like Cole Wick is going to take over for Pettigrew soon.
-Decker is still the LT and Reiff the RT
-Swanson still hanging on at C
-Tiny hands will get the majority of the totes (wont believe it till I see though)

Brandon Copeland moved to DE.

Not sure he can find a spot unless Zettel goes to the PS.

Steven Ridley did not practice at all. Not a good sign for an oft injured player

I'll really be surprised if he plays football again.

I'll really be surprised if he plays football again.

shhhh, I am hanging on to him in the fantrax league because I believe in him!

 

[Old Lion]

This kid Cole Wick is getting some hype. Ive never even heard of him. Anyone ever see him play. this was all I could find. Other than his hands he does not look like anything special. I can see him racking up some penalties in the NFL with his blocking.

"The Lions plan to give Zach Zenner a heavy preseason workload.

Zenner was a full participant in offseason workouts, but Detroit wants to get him back in football shape after a lost rookie year. Zenner has a good chance to make the final roster if he stays healthy."- Rotoworld
