2023 Lions Preseason thread

[Mebert]

A few thoughts on upcoming cuts:

We have 3 solid options for the last CB spot, it would be cool if the cut Harris to bring back 2 of them instead. I think Gilmore should be a lock, next would be Dorsey.

Odd idea, with how Snell blocks, why not keep him as a FB so Cabinda can finally go.

I think Drummond probably was the best of the wr, but Green has the skill set Lions need more, I think he sticks.

Lions still need a kicker

Ifedi is cut. I hope the plan is to also cut Nelson and find a new swing tackle on the wire.

That‘s starting to look like the most glaring shortcoming.

Lioms cut Drummond. As 5th/6th wr it is not a huge deal, but it feels like a mistake.

I would love for the Lions to trade for Grupe. Guy only missed 1 kick all preseason and it was from 60 yards. He had the distance to make it from 60 as well. Saints are probably not moving on from Lutz.

 

[Mebert]

Nevermind, Broncos traded for Lutz

Moseley removed from pup, that is bad news for one of the UDFA guys....or hopefully Will Harris

 

[Mebert]

Craig Reynolds also cut, they only kept 2 runningbacks and a fullback that can't catch or run block. Cabinda is truly the Will Harris of the offense.

Steven Gilmore made it, Star Thomas missed out. Only one of the backend of wr that made it was Antoine Green.

7 edge and 6 Linebackers feels like a skewed roster.

Connor Galvin outplayed him but they still kept the useless Nelson

No reason to keep either Okwara. Wasted 2 roster spots on that. We probably get Hulu back though. Mosely coming off PUP is what cost Thomas.

We damn well better get someone. Patterson has 52 yard distance and cant reach the goal line on kickoffs.

I think Durden completely outplayed Levi too. Not sure what coaches were looking at.

Julian Okwara will be going on IR along with Melifanwu, Most likely bringing in Reynolds and maybe a wr.

 

[Mebert]

Oh good, we not only kept a bad kicker, we brought back a different bad kicker to take a spot in the practice squad.

Wouldnt surprise me if it cost us making the playoffs. Not too many many teams even make the playoffs never mind win a playoff game with a crappy kicker.

On the bright side we signed Raymond J Johnson III.

Lions signed DE Raymond Johnson III to the practice squad
