Melvin Gordon

[phantomfoul88]

Boy he'd look good in Honolulu blue
Too bad we'll be picking so late.

 

[HammerDown]

You get your dirty paws off of him. Don't even look!

 

[gandydancer]

Yes, yes he would. As would Todd Gurley. Pretty sure we as Lions fan will see one them on the Vikes twice a year.

 

[Old Lion]

Gurley got hurt yesterday. Not sure how serious. Didn't actually see it.


Either would be nice. Might need someone to block for them though.

Tevin Coleman leads the country in rushing, had over 300 on the ground yesterday and gets no love.

Id be all about seeing him and Theo share the backfield next year.

Gurley tore his ACL

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Is Melvin Gordon a TE?

 

[gandydancer]

Gurley tore his ACL

Well that is two injuries in college so I wash my hands of him. Lions already have one RB that can stay healthy.

I was under the impression that the big weakness in Gordons game is that he has stone hands? Haven't watched enough of him to know for sure if that's true 9 not. In this NFL with these rules, and more importantly with this team; I would rather have the next Shady McCoy than the next Adrian Peterson. The next Marshall Faulk rather than the next Barry Sanders. I know that's near blasphemy around here, and there's no comparing who is the better RB. But for this team an elite RB would be a great addition. A great scat back (or however you want to term them) would be a multiplier for this offense.

Showing your age there I believe. Scat back... Dave Meggett the original scat back in my book. Been long time since I heard that term.

Feeling my age too. Although I watched the game with my dad today, and on college game days he likes to point out to me that he is the perfect age. In his lifetime the Spartans have more national championships than the Wolverines. So on Sundays I return the favor by pointing out I'm old enough to remember the Lions winning the same number of playoff games as he has, but I haven't had to watch quite as many losses.

fuck drafting a RB. I am not usually big on targeting a position in the draft, but I would not be mad if we drafted nothing but O line next year.

 

[tpaulus_2]

We need a LG and RT next year big time, imo.


Waddle is a half-way decent player, but he can't stay healthy to save his life. Let him be our swing tackle and not have to worry about getting so beat up...

 

[Thruthefog]

Old habits die hard I see.

You guys do realize that the Lions are 7-3, right?

He is the Lucas kid doing? Last three games only seen second half yesterday. Will he develop or look as there was a reason he was a UDFA?

 

[Rollingthndr]

I like Gurley more. Even after the injury. Wisconsin back Montee Ball put up video game numbers as well and looks mediocre in the NFL. Gurley is a straight up beast. Looks like a faster version of Marshawn Lynch

Man I wanted a tackle with the first pick last year. A good team can never hae enough linemen. At least the lions have 3 tight ends of which zero are doing anything, lol.

 

[gandydancer]

I kept hearing remarks being compared to other past Whisky RBs. So 251yards and 3TDs against a all world conference team should hold water or not?

Not really sure of his speed. Seemed decent on that one break away TD. He looks like J.Charles when running the ball.

 

[jdwills126]

Abdullah from Nebraska looks solid as well. The trend is favoring the Lions with very good backs sliding out of the first round.

As late as Detroit is picking a RB would be a pretty good value pick.
