8 quick takeaways from the Lions initial 53-man roster
'Sawed-off' nails a spot
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports
Only one undrafted rookie made the initial 53-man roster. Defensive tackle Demetrius “Sawed-off” Taylor from Appalachian State earned his spot with a strong summer.
Taylor is undersized but understands how to use his lack of bulk and length as an asset. He was consistently disruptive in the passing game all offseason, getting his hands on passes and forcing hurried throws.
Given the current roster makeup, Taylor figures to play as the top reserve nose tackle.Injured reserve candidates
Melifonwu isn’t the only Lions player who made the initial 53-man roster who is a candidate to immediately flip to injured reserve.
Second-year DT Levi Onwuzurike couldn’t even finish the team’s first padded practice of training camp without aggravating his ongoing hip and back issues. Coach Campbell recently termed Onwuzurike’s recovery “a snail’s pace.”
Based on Campbell’s recent comments, DE Julian Okwara could be ready for Week 1. But he too hasn’t practiced in weeks and remains a candidate to head to IR, where he would be forced to miss the first four weeks of the season.Trickalicious - I don't think it is fair that the division rivals get to play the Lions twice.

I like that Maurice Alexander is in the PS. He showed some falshes as a returner. Maybe he has the "it" factorI feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

Since there is talk about practice squad players, I thought this was an interesting read on the rules regarding those players.....

That Eagles roster looks pretty scary for week one. Pro bowl talent all over the field. Great lines and now a great secondary.
That match up looks all wrong for us thinking of last year’s beat down. A huge test to start the season.Comment

Spooky Eagles team if Jalen Hurts makes a jump to the next level of quality.
It’s all good. There’s watchable college football starting today.Originally posted by jaadam4 View Post

I chalked Philly up to an easy win months ago. I’m not so sure now. They have a nice squad. If we beat them it’ll be a solid start to the season.Originally posted by TheLondonLion View Post
I said that we should take a flier on Jalen Hurts and got ran out of the thread with how bad he sucks. I hope they’re right but he looks like he’s progressing.F#*K OHIO!!!
