Ryan Broyles venting

WR Ryan Broyles vents on Twitter about role with Detroit Lions | MLive.com

Not sure why he hasn't been seen much this season after a very good preseason. Sounds like he's just as pissed as some of us on here regarding his usage. However, twitter prolly isn't the best road to take.

I don't see what it can hurt. What will they do, bench him?

Makes no sense to me why he's not playing.

Remember when Leshoure was fast? And Schwartz didn't like him? Maybe Broyles is going through the same thing and will be cut next year.....

I hope not, I kinda like the guy, but there is reason he isn't seeing the field and only the locker room knows what it is.

Maybe going to the staff one-on-one? Seems maybe a lil sit down with them would work better IMO. Orrrrr, maybe he's already done that. I dunno.

I was going with the assumption he'd already done that. But if he hadnt, yeah, he should have.

Has to be more than frustrating for him to work his ass off just get back in a uniform. Then look great in preseason and watch an offense struggle from the sidelines in the regular season.

Be great if his tweet works and he lights up Nawlins.

When the other recievers are doing nothing and hes not getting half a chance he should be pissed. It would be one thing if those guys were coming up big, but they aren't.

 

[broncosmitty]

Yep.

Broyles is way better than Fuller. Ross only has one good play this season. Let the poor guy play before he gets injured again!

 

[broncosmitty]

Yep

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Makes no sense to me. We have basically had an offense where we are running short patterns all game. Seems like that'd be right in Broyles wheel house.

As someone pointed out -- if the others were stepping up and playing big -- I could see why he'd be on the sidelines. We are getting next to nothing from the TE position. Ross and Fuller each have one big play on the season. Put Broyles in and see if he can get open on these short routes.

Is he friends with Tate?

 

[Naughtymax]

The frustration is understandable, but throwing rocks at your bosses in public is never the way to get what you want unless you're a superstar. Like me.

 

[gvsulaker82]

Maybe the reason hes not playing is because he has a negative attitude? This surely didnt help his cause. I dont get it, he looked better than fuller and ross in the preseason. Hes definitely talented, I said it post Game one and was absolutely attacked for saying it looks like broyles is about to go the route of leshoure. It is baffling. Hes looking like another bad pick.

He could drop a pass or two.

I think he is not in there because they need someone to be a deep threat. Ross is that guy. Fuller and Ebron cant do it much as they can be intermediate threats. Ross is the only one fast enough so unless they move Ross outside, Broyles wont play much.

I think we need to get him in there and force Fuller to try being that deep threat. Too many drops (or non catches at least) this week for my liking.

Fuller is out there because of his speed.

[Scapegoat]

I have wondered why he doesn't get more playing time.

Caldwell was asked about it today.

Lions' Jim Caldwell: Door's open if Ryan Broyles wants to complain

 

[Kreton]

Caldwell was asked and didn't answer. I'd like to hear him say why. Whether Broyles is dropping balls in practice, isnt putting in the effort, negative attitude, or whatever else. I feel like there has to be something. like I said before, its not because Fuller and Ross are playing so well.
