Lions News

Official Lions website stuff is pure propaganda to the point of derangement. After a bad loss I'd go to the website thinking, "What do these clowns have to say for themselves?" And it's like, "Lions fall just short in 59-3 nailbiter."

The game came down to 8 plays....If those 8 plays go the Lions way, they walk away with a 3-3 tie......

Emanual Moseley starting the season on PUP list.....I dont know if they thought he'd be ready or not

[chemiclord]

I think the Lions were hoping Moseley would be ready by training camp, but I doubt they expected it.

It sounds like Branch and LaPorta were really good on the first day

[Cody_Russell]

That’s awesome to hear LaPorta is carrying over positive momentum from Spring.
Also, Derrick Barnes is still seeing reps with the 1s at ILB. How random would it be if Barnes randomly ascends into something positive…especially after drafting Campbell at #18. We’ll see how long Barnes can hold off Campbell or Rodrigo.

Not sure if it was propaganda or legit but the coaches have raved about Barnes this offseason. I hope it’s legit as Barnes, Rodrigo and Campbell could be a deep LB’ing corps for years to come

Good insurance if our Thor turns into Beer Belly Thor now that he has that contract.

MCDC doint the up-downs at practice was crazy. Twice the endurance of half of the players.

I saw that too. You know he’s been practicing in the off season because all eyes were on him. Rookies better get their asses ready

[froot loops]

As long as they keep on calling them up-downs, I'm unimpressed.

[CGVT]

You probably call it Bell Taco too

[Cody_Russell]

CJGJ carted off.
Great! Prayers that it’s not serious.
If so, that’s an early gut punch. Might need Branch to step up early.

[GALion68]

These are the things we hope never happen but they do, key players injured during camp. Hoping CJGJ recovers quickly.

[Topweasel]

I read he couldn't put any weight on it. Hoping a bad ankle sprain and not an Achilles.

[Cody_Russell]

Just sucks.
Pros and cons of this if it’s a serious injury:

Pros:
- The future. Brian Branch gets experience and it’s possibly better for 2024+.

Cons:
- The present.
- Depth.
- Losing a top defensive player on day 2 of camp.
- My excitement about the Lions takes a slight blow.
- Don’t get to see CJGJ + Branch packages.

Yes, please be a high ankle sprain. That would be great news considering what we know.
