C. J. Anderson released.

[Thruthefog]

Paul Perkins signed.

 

[LionsWhyMe]

Got rid of C. J. Anderson because of 2.7 yards per carry for Paul Perkins 2.2 ypc in 2017 and never seen the end zone in 25 game with 5 starts? Seriously, they should've signed that running back who played for the Lions... I think his name was Zach Zenner. At least ZZ had Special Teams value too.

 

[broncosmitty]

I was so excited when they signed his fatass too.


Wait, nope, thought it was pointless.




Zenner's out there somewhere. Prolly doing sit-ups right now, with his phone within earshot.

 

[broncosmitty]

He does seem nice though.


Maybe he gets a chance to look good for KC or Baltimore or Dallas later in the year. Idk. Nothing against the guy personally.


He genuinely seems nice.

 

[Old Lion]

Kind of surprised by this. CJ looked good IMO. The O-line has not done much for anyone this year so far with the inconsistency. There may be more to this then just performance. Maybe he was a problem in the locker room or something.

 

[phantomfoul88]

Dude looked like Blount v2. Don't understand Paul Perkins though. Plus they just signed oh another QB scrub. Jeff Driscoll

 

[Thruthefog]

Trying to create enough cap space to trade for Ramsey?

Lions re-sign RB Nick Brossette to practice squad, release DE Jonathan Wynn

Because the Lions claimed Perkins off of waivers he must stay on their active roster for three weeks, but if he struggles, Broussette could be a replacement option if he shows well during that time.

Detroit Lions keep shuffling backup quarterbacks, adding Jeff Driskel. Here's why

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

I don't comprehend this signing of Perkins.

I'm fine with CJ being ousted but to not re-sign ZZ or even poach Mark Thompson off the Ravens practice squad seems more than just odd.

What other RB's are available ?

I don't comprehend any of this. My head is spinning from all this cutting and signing of scrubs. In the end, it really doesn't matter

 

[BrockForBroglio]

I take it that Ty Johnson isn't an option?

 

[broncosmitty]

I take it that Ty Johnson isn't an option?

He's the backup now.

I seen this, that and the other card trick years ago on UTube.

Kaep.

I actually wanted to keep Thompson.

These guys would not be better than Johnson. Then again we would not win with any of them, even with how good our defense is.

TBH, the whole season is probably moot for any team besides the Pats. They will win easy this year unless they get a rash of injuries.

 

[Myles]

It's odd. CJ seems to do very good on every team he plays for but keeps getting cut. What's the deal?

 

[Rambunctious]

CJ needs a good O-line to run behind. Maybe that is what the Lions should focus on instead of backup QB's and RB's.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

I actually wanted to keep Thompson.

I didn't see any of the pre-season games outside of gif's and 10-12 highlights and evidently he struggled in pass pro and missed assignments. I figured they'd want more of a power back and that's more his game than speed.

TBH, ZZ should have been the easy choice here (good in pass pro, ST and delivered when called upon). ZZ shouldn't have been cut in the first place, imo.
