Bright side to Rams game?
So I missed this game and really.. I mean, who cares.. ya know? I was in the Caribbean Sea took a trip with Captain Jack and spent a little time on the Virgin Islands catching some rays and zipping through trees and getting bit by some tiny black ants. I even hung out with the mighty Hulk Hogan for a few. Hulk Hogan was in a good mood that day and his daughter is smokin' hot! Even my wife thought she was smokin'! Anyways, so now I'm back.. I agree that the Lions must develop their talent.. I think the best way to do that would be to keep the entire coaching staff and not change the playbook.. Let's draft a LT next season and some guards..
GO NFL!!!Never pegged you as a Hulkamaniac. Always figured you'd be more of an Iron Sheik/Foreign Legion guy.
Bright side to Rams game?
Losing to the Rams doesn't trouble me. This is a very bad Lions team. They have bottom-5 NFL talent. They're going nowhere. That's all a given.
The more they lose, the better draft slot they get. That's a good thing. More important than whether they win 2 or win 4 games.
But while losing is no big deal, developing young players sure is. If they lose a lot but get good development this season, it's a plus. They need at least two seasons of acquiring and developing young guys at a high level to be a competitive team in the NFL. So in a game like the last one, my primary question is "Were there bright spots among the young guys?"
I'm curious about your take on this, especially regarding the defense. The Rams are a bad offensive team. But still, the Lions D allowed only 10 points. That's good. I'd like to know what they were doing right.
Bright spots were better play from Sims (except for that final play on the TD drive) and the defense in general, though admittedly this was the league's worst scoring offense coming in. The fact that Stafford's knee held up and showed no ill-effects afterward was another positive sign. (He looked good on the screens and the TD run, too, on that knee.) Third-down defense has been good since the Saints game, actually. Coverage units are showing some life with Follett and Ciurciu, too. But that's about it.
