Did The Detroit Lions Quietly Find a New Starter? 

Brother, I am really trying hard not to be a homer fanboy but I think this team got wayyyyyy better this offseason and I. am. fucking. here for it. If Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw even remotely are the guys we all know they can be and all our 2nd and 3rd year guys continue improving I don't see how we don't make another deep run this year, and maybe even have a better reg. season record, in spite of our slightly harder schedule. Never mind if Brad hits on any of the other guys he took after the first two rounds, which you know he fucking did on at least 2 lol. I think Mekhi Wingo is going to be a monster in a year or two and he might even have the highest ceiling of anyone we drafted, imho. He is a FREAK of an athelete (He'd be a 9.99 RAS dude if he added 2 inches and 25 lbs) and was only shunned due to his size and I believe he missed some games in college, but I think his size is actually an advantage if he's used and developed well. They need to just get started on the Brad & Dan statue now, this organization isn't going anywhere any time soon and it feels great. LFG!

@@podunkest 100% agreed. The offense is schemed to be a bunch of surgical knives slicing you up in the dark, you don't know where the next easy incision is coming from. The defense is aggressively violent: huge, powerful and fast up front, hard hitting and rangy at LB, and now we're extremely versatile and in-your-face in the secondary. Playoff teams might be able to hang around with us for 3 quarters but when the game's on the line we're gonna "bring em out to the deep water and drown their ass". There's only so many times RBs can take Jack Campbell knocking their mouth guard 3 yards behind them, QBs trying to avoid getting trigger happy because Hutch and company are getting major hits on em down in n down out, and defenses getting completely baited into giving up easy first downs and big plays by elite play calling and offensive execution. I think we get a first round bye at 14-3 or 15-2, Jared Goff chants the whole way there. We get back to the NFC Championship, avenge that death and then go get the whole enchilada. This is a dynasty in the making, it's built like the pyramids: we're not going ANYWHERE!

Yep

Right!!! I go off the coaches and watching the players in real time so all the opinions are cool but they not in practices or games or watching the film then it's jus they opinion

Right. But a lot of writers hear from the coaches. Some. Not all.

He played at Louisville and left during the coaching change. He was great a Louisville! Not suprised to hear about his success.

Glad to hear we're addressing kicker. Hope he can be more consistent than Moody has been at San Francisco and our pair from last year.

Maybe Reader at the beginning of the year if he needs more time to get better and ready to play. Fully healthy, Reader is definitely before Levi, but if he's not, then Levi starting in his place to start the season could be plausible

So true
