I wonder if there wasn't some gamesmanship going on here with cutting Jackson and initially keeping Jefferson - i.e., it is more likely that someone gets scooped up during the second round of waivers, so they tried to sneak Jackson though in the first round, knowing that Jefferson was getting axed for a DL later.

2024 Detroit Lions: Draft complete. (8 Viewers)

It was a weird maneuver. I am sure Holmes had his reasons and must have communicated it to Justin Jackson, because initially the move did not pass the eye test. But the end result makes sense. I am in a very small minority of maybe 1, but I like the way Justin runs better than Swift. Swift has all the physical tools, I just don't think he has the vision of a great RB. If you look at career numbers, Swift vs. Jackson are pretty close on totals, but Jackson has a much better ypc in (both in rushing and receiving). A 200 carry sample size is not huge, but 5.0 yards per carry is nothing to sneeze at, in fact it is elite.
I have no clue about why they initially kept Jefferson. I'm guessing he will be signed to the practice squad. I heard they are signing Blough as well.
I am really interested to see who returns kickoffs.
Also, they can have 2 players from the practice squad on their GameDay roster without them having to clear waivers. Someone like Pittman, who is a very good special teams player, could be one of them.

I guessing Kalif Raymond on punts. Ourlads has Craig Reynolds on kickoffs.
My favorite Lions season bets:
I loaded up on Hutch +600 for DROY. I really don't see what his competition is. Thibs is banged up. A rookie edge rusher with 10+ sacks is a lock over any other defensive position. Odds have since dropped tp +420, bit still a good bet.
Next is Campbell at +1600 for coach of the year. Lions have to get to 10 wins and make the playoffs, then he would be a top contender. Not probable, but much better than +1600.
.
Longer shot is Amon-Ra to lead the league in receptions at +4000. I like him top 5 in category, but will be tough to beat Kupp if Stafford keeps feeding him.
Really long shot...Goff to lead league in passing yards at +10000. I see Goff throwing about 4500 yards to put him solidly in the top 10. He has looked outstanding in camp and he will outperform all expectations.

Yeah it's not clear - preseason it was Alexander, Benson and Igwebuike.
DB Mike Hughes has had a handful of KR each year in past seasons.
That is the best way to get inside the Lions playbook.

Lions lack of success with 2nd round picks documented herein.
Lions placed starting right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai on IR. So their starting offensive line, which never played a snap together, will not play together for at least the first 4 games. Sucks but they have pretty good depth. I'm guessing Tommy Kraemer will start in his place.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Likely Kraemer, but Evan Brown is a better player, hope they slide him over.
ETA: Logan Stenberg had a better camp and preseason. He’s been a disappointment thus far but maybe the switch finally flipped for him.

Jarod Goff was on 97.1 The Ticket today and he sounds like a great guy. About Hard Knocks as he was on it before. Said remember it is a TV show and they want drama, always telling players to do this or that for more effect. Said you just say no to whatever you don`t want to do.
Asked what he likes and dislikes about Metro-Detroit. Said coming from Cally he really enjoys the seasons change every 3-4 months, even winter.
Dislikes, said the drivers are crazy on 696 and Southfield freeway. Speeding in and out like it is a race. I agree with him.

Swift
Amon Ra
Goff
Jamaal Williams
Swift is the only locked in starter but Amon Ra will be a regular flex play for sure and since it's a super-flex league Goff is a great bench option IMO.
Haven't liked the Lions this much since '91. Man that playoff win against the Cowboys is still pure joy to remember.
And I'm not even a Lions fan.

MCDC said in his presser the most likely scenario is Tommy Kraemer at LG but they’re exploring other combos.
Their backup O line had an awesome preseason game VS the Colts, whichever way they roll should be fine. Way more concerned with whether the defense can get off the field Sunday.
- Evan Brown at C, slide Ragnow to RG
- Logan Stenberg at RG. Or LG, switch Jackson to RG (why?)
- Sewell to RG?? Matt Nelson to RT

Another injury upfront the Lions have to worry about. Pro-Bowl center Frank Ragnow was limited today at practice because of a groin injury. Already lost RG Halapoulivaati Vaitai to back injury for at least first 4 games.

Fortunately the Lions have solid depth on the offensive line but I'd sure like to see the starting line play together. Hopefully Ragnow will be able to play.

I’m a BIG believer in their O-line depth. We gave all the snaps in ps game 2 to the backups and they absolutely controlled the LOS, just dominated the Colts.
Still, is it too much to ask that our OL play one ****ing snap together? Shades of 2021.
They’ll be fine, RG is the least talented and most easily replaced of the 5. We got some road graders, protection and rushing the ball are the least of our worries.

hello darkness my old friend
Lions shuffle the practice squad OL, sign Ross Pierschbacher
Former Alabama C who has been bouncing around - Conmanders, Eagles & Jets. 5th round pick, 27 y.o., virtually no game experience. But the fact that he’s a center has me skittish our Grizzly Man might not be coming back right away.
OTOH, local source in Detroit (few degrees of separation from Frank’s wife) said he’s def playing Sunday. Sounds made up, we’ll see. Pretty much have to practice Friday IMO. They’ll err on the side of caution and start Evan Brown if they’re not sure he can go.

I'm sure all fans feel this way about their own team, but it feels like the Lions suffer an excessive amount of injuries. By the end of EVERY year we're starting Wayne State cornerbacks.

2nd most starters games lost to injury last year. Third best offensive line in the NFL is a working theory - they’ve never played a regular season snap together.
40% of the OL out, 1st round WR on the NFI, 2nd round DL from last year AND 2nd round DL from this year are both out, three guys who had season ending injuries in 2021 are starting 2022 on the PUP. Every team has to deal with injuries - part of being in the NFL - but dang bro.

No problem, we got Von and Co collapsing the pocket. That was beautiful to watch. It's too much to ask because that's Hall of Fame level, but that's what I want Aidan to become. Because if you get that level of pressure up front, you can do things like get away with playing two rookie CBs.
I feel like [if] Hutch is just a good player or a solid starter, man I'm out. We don't need good players. We need difference making generational players who absolutely refuse to lose.

I was looking over the Eagles roster the other day. They're not perfect, they have a muddled offensive backfield, nobody is really sure that Hurts is the right QB.

They may not do much more than 11 wins and a loss in the divisional round, but wow are they solid in every positional group, in every phase of the game.
That's the kind of high level efficiency we need from Brad Holmes. Not just one or two good drafts or an occasional star FA or a BARRY/CALVIN/MATTHEW hit that will put fannies in the seats for a decade. Naw, hell no, **** that. I ain't got time for that.

The Bills looked great for sure but the Rams should be very concerned about their offensive line. They looked terrible. The defense was even worse.

The Bills had the best defense in the league last year, and then landed Von Miller. Little early to say if the Rams have a good OL (but year, 7 sacks is ridiculous.)

Lions signed a German Kicker, Dominik Eberle, to the Practice Squad. Seibert was limited Wednesday but practiced in full Thursday. Eberle has bounced to like 5 teams in 3 years so probably nothing there, but in his one game (Texans K had Covid) he scored 11 points with a 51 yarder (also missed from 52.) Was 167/167 on XP in college. If nothing else, gives Amon-Ra someone to chat with in German.
Not a fan of Seibert on kickoffs or long FG, would like to see them try someone different. Patterson was consistent last year but doesn't really have range/big leg. Lions fans have been spoiled with great kickers through the years.

“Look, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter, nobody cares, man. You go out and win with the guys you have.”
Frank Ragnow sounds close but I’d think it’ll be next week.
MCDC says they have options if need be (e.g., quick hook if Logan isn’t getting it done.)
listened to Ben Johnson yesterday & same answer from Campbell today - they’re not saying who will call plays (by now it’s a running joke when the reporters ask bc they know they’re not saying.) I think Dan likes being the playcaller but sounds like it’ll be collaborative.
