Detroit Lions News

Bro’s mic’d up moment farming

Week 5 RB usage! -Workhorses with 70%+ snaps: Kyren, CMC, Achane, White, Gainwell (pre-bye), Javonte, JT, Pollard, Saquon, Cook, Mason. Starting all with confidence except Gainwell (Warren back), Pollard (Spears role probably increases, and, you know), Mason (on a bye so don't start him lol lmao rofl) -Plenty of touches despite not as cool snap rate: Bijan, Gibbs, Dowdle, Henry, Jacobs, ETN, Hall, Jeanty, Dobbins, Carter, Judkins, and Skattebo (pretty confident he remains clear RB1 even once Tracy returns) -Chiefs?: Muddled three-way committee all season with Hunt leading the way in carries and getting goal line work. Pacheco still probably profiles as the best fantasy option weekly but man, not enticing. Maybe Brashard Smith eventually gets a bigger role but right meow pure gadget. Skeptical he gets McKinnon-esque role due to size/pass pro concerns (0 pass blocking snaps this season) -Damn injury Gods: Lean Vidal > Haskins but not overly confident. Just think behind this o-line and given LAC willingness to throw the ball this year, give me the more explosive pass-catching option. Of course, I unfortunately know as a Columbus Ohio lifer that Haskins is good around the goal line. Wouldn't be surprised if old friend Gus Edwards joins this. Not confidently starting either for at least this week -Damn injury Gods Part II: No more Antonio Gibson in NE. Pain. Gotta think TreVeyon will get more work if Rhamondre fumbles 10-11 more times this year. But yeah: Probably 60/40 Mondre for now, would be a lot cooler if Henderson made more out of his opportunities -- 32nd and 30th in yards per carry/reception among 43 qualified RBs -Kendre Miller is good: And if Kamara ever gets hurt/traded.... -Workload there, efficiency is not: Chase Brown and D'Andre Swift. I'm especially pissed off about Brown. I know the offense sucks, but man, 83 touches without a single 15+ yard gain this season. The next-closest RB has 31. Concerns, but I'm generally pushing through them: Feature Kenneth Walker and David Montgomery. Would it be a lot cooler if both had more consistent workloads and didn't have to cede so many touches to their offense's other RB? Of course, but life isn't fair, and you probably don't have any better RB options on your roster, so fire up these talented real-life RBs and hope for the best. Maybe call your Mom and say hello while you're at it you selfish piece of shit (just kidding, kind of). BILL!: Bill Croskey-Merritt is a certified DAWG and leads the NFL in yards per carry (6.6). The usage bump last week was nice but I'm still a bit hesitant in assuming 15+ weekly touches with WSH continuing to keep C-Rob and McNichols involved. That said, smash matchup vs. Da Bears -- fire up Bill with more confidence than ever this week.

This play right here is one example of how the @Bengals lost faith in Jake Browning. His arm strength seemed to die out, and he wasn’t seeing things the same way. Three different @Lions could’ve been in position to pick this one off.

The 6th-round pick going to the Bengals is Detroit’s original pick.

Jack Campbell appreciation post 👏👏👏

Detroit Lions corner Terrion Arnold’s second opinion on his shoulder injury was ‘very positive’ and he hopes to avoid Injured Reserve, per source. @TomPelissero first on Arnold slated to return this season after the encouraging results.

Lions have two more games this month: at KC on October 12 and vs. Tampa on October 20, before a Week 8 bye. An IR stint would keep him out until Week 11, so based on this timeline, he might not need one. Wonder if they just keep him out until Week 9 vs. the Vikings, post-bye.

Well then

#Lions CB Terrion Arnold received positive news on his second opinion, will not need shoulder surgery and is now expected to return this season, per sources.

A second opinion on Lions CB Terrion Arnold’s shoulder today revealed the injury is not as bad as feared and he now is expected to return, as one source described, “sooner than expected”, quite possibly this month.

"Oh baby! What a run by Jahmyr Gibbs!" Watch Week 5 Calls of the Game, featuring @DanMillerFox2, @LomasBrown75 and @TJLang70 🎙️

Tom said this is “likely” a season ending injury for Terrion. We could learn more on the surgical front this week, but Dan didn’t make it sound promising yesterday

From @gmfb: The latest on Saquon Barkley, Omarrion Hampton and Terrion Arnold, who is getting a second opinion on a potentially season-ending shoulder injury. @nflnetwork

See a lot of like this. That PI call is a good example of how people forget the late calls against the Chiefs that do cost them games (offsides call on Toney that cost them a TD against the Bills, holding call that cost them a shot at kicking FG against Lions come to mind)

Heartwarming: Jared Goff’s supermodel wife, Christen, posted this video to remember how proud she is of Jared and the Lions after they won their first game. “From our first win 4 years ago when I was on set shooting (si_swimsuit) for the last time to now!!! So proud, B2B division champs!” What a beautiful moment captured ❤️👀

.@fred_warner is always expecting teams to just go for it 😅 "Dan Campbell and the Lions were the worst thing to happen ... Nah, I'm just kidding."

Powerful: Lions standout CB Terrion Arnold posted a photo on Snapchat from his Lamborghini telling his fans to "keep stacking" their money and save for their future. Arnold already has a car and jewelry collection worth well over half a million dollars. His rookie deal is only worth $8 million.

Detroit is trying to do something we haven’t seen in 16 seasons
