Wednesday open thread: Are the Detroit Lions the worst team in the NFC North? As the division currently stands Darius Slay Jersey White , the Detroit Lions sit at the bottom at 0-2. They aren’t all that far behind anyone else in the division, seeing as every other team has just one win thanks to an uncommon tie between the Vikings and Packers last week. And with the Bears notching their first win of the season on Monday night, that leaves Detroit facing a very real and unfortunate possibility: they may be the worst team in the NFC North.Today’s Question of the Day is:Are the Lions the worst team in the NFC North?My answer: I’d love to sit here and say with authority that they’re still a better team than the Bears, but I can’t do that. While Chicago’s offense still very much looks like a work in progress, their defense is for real. In fact, the Bears defense was pretty darn good last year, too. But being healthy and adding Khalil Mack to the gang has turned this into one of the best defenses in the league. That’s not hyperbole, they’re literally the best defense in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus;The Lions, meanwhile Barry Sanders Jersey White , are struggling at all three phases of the game. They took a step in the right direction last week, but they’re still well behind everyone in the division. The good news is that just because they’re the worst team in the division right now doesn’t mean they will be by the season’s end. Teams change throughout the year. Some get better, some get worse. The Lions’ 2018 season isn’t over, but it does feel like it’s already on life support, and if they don’t show marked improvement quick, you’ll be able to cement their spot at the bottom of the division.Your turn.

Which player could be a star on the show?EDTShareTweetShareShareMonday open thread: Which Lions player would be a Hard Knocks star?Raj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsThe NFL Films and HBO television series Hard Knocks has yet to announce which team will be covered. The Detroit Lions, along with the New York Giants, Oakland Raiders Darius Slay Jersey , and Washington, are the remaining candidates that could be forced to appear on the show covering an NFL team’s training camp and preseason. The show primarily focuses on the roster battles between veterans and youngsters, and this is where most of the Lions’ drama would appear. With a cast of nine draft picks, as well as multiple undrafted rookies and second-year players fighting for a spot on the team, the Lions would likely have some entertaining battles. Positions like right guard and corner are up for grabs.Hard Knocks also focuses on the off-field aspects of being a football player. A lot of these players are in a new town and on a new team, and their quest to become an NFL player can be quite gripping. Along with having an entertaining personality, emotional moments can turn players into Hard Knocks stars.Today’s Question of the Day is:Which Lions player would be a Hard Knocks star?My answer: There are lot of candidates should the Lions be chosen for Hard Knocks. As mentioned, any starting position battles are likely to be focal points on the show, so players like Kenny Wiggins Sylvester Williams Jersey , Oday Aboushi, Tyrell Crosby, or Beau Benzschawel could be featured — Benzschawel is also an undrafted free agent, so that could be an underdog story as well.The Lions don’t have that many outspoken personalities, such as Golden Tate. While I’m sure Darius Slay or Quandre Diggs would provide some good humour or soundbites, I don’t see them in the spotlight. Danny Amendola was featured on Hard Knocks back in 2008 with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted and undersized receiver, so it could be poetic to see him on the show as a seasoned veteran.My pick for the Lions’ Hard Knocks star is an unknown, but would make for good TV: receiver Tom Kennedy.I’ll be honest when I say I don’t know his personality, and I don’t believe he’ll make the final roster. However http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-matt-prater-jersey , Kennedy’s lacrosse background is quite unique, having only played two years of college football at Bryant, a small school in Rhode Island. People like to root for the underdog with an interesting story. The stars of Hard Knocks are often flawed in some way, such as being undersized, coming from a small school, or being new to football. Kennedy ticks each of those boxes.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage « RSorder 7% off rs07 gold special event will begin on Jul.19MapleStory M celebrates its first anniversary with summer updates and new p... » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
