Mikel's extra speed is going to waste.
I'm tempted to agree. But..... He hasn't been arrested yet this season. The true value of his added speed may never be known.

The Lions went to halftime with two timeouts. they ended the game with a challenge or two left. Cinci scored a TD on that drive. Why not just throw the red flag and at worst get your hand slapped by the officials for doing something stupid?
He hasn't been anything more than a nickel corner at best.. There are times where he gives up big plays.. His tackling is decent I'll give you that much.. Tbh Houston is not that great either, he is a nickel corner on a great defense...
How bad are the skins? McCown lighting them up
Safe to say it's coaching. No reason to keep giving up before half time either. Not when you have Stafford and Johnson on your team. Those two can eat up big chunks of yardage in a hurry. Only Schwartz is happy to go into halftime a loser.
To this point the lions have lost two games they shouldnt have to the hapless cardinals and a good/average bengals team at home.
Better question, how bad are the bears? Ive been saying it a while they just arent good. They have beaten the giants, vikings, bengals and steelers. One decent team, the rest awful. Now they allow the redskins to drop 45 on them. Lions arent much better, they still allow way too many early long touchdowns and still disappear for huge chunks of games. You have to win your home games against average opponents like the bengals. The bengals are good but not great and will benefit from playing in the worst division in the playoffs. They will lose in the first rd. As will the lions if they somehow squeeze in.
In regards to all of the stafford bashing he is the most talented qb lions fans have ever seen and hes halfway thru his third year. In the next year or so we should see him put everything together. The lions arent going anywhere this year anyhow.
Man, Houston gets burned all up all the time. He's a#2. Greene could've had over 200 today if Dalton wouldve thrown better passes. Jones ate up Houston. Jeffery ate him up. Gordon did. His initial coverage is good but he sucks once the qb has time to throw it. He's very inconsistent to me and if you don't have that at CB, you're somewhat of a liability.
The d-line is also over-rated and we always resort back to this all the time. Suh and Fairley show up for a game and disappear for the next three or four.
I never ripped on Stafford this season.. He has been one of the 2 best players on the Lions this season if not the best.. Granted, he did miss some throws against Cincy..
Detroit Lions News @LionsMLive 3mAs we learned on the last few pages in this thread Houston protects against the big play as good as anyone in the league.
