He’s only 30 and was a Pro Bowler in 2017. He missed time last year with a foot injury. I assume the Lions think he’s healthy if they signed him. Lions aren’t going to be run on by anyone this year. My worry still is that the secondary, LBs in coverage and outside pass rush might make passing against Detroit a bit too easy.whoknew said:
really like this signing. we probably have the best interior dline in the nfl.
The best IDL without a doubt.Flowers, Okwara and Hand will be plenty fine on the edges though we have no real athleticism there. I just hope pass coverage can hold up.
It's a bit puzzling to me honestly. He can't run the ball but he's an incredibly effective in the short passing game. PFF said only Todd Gurley had more YAC at the RB position than Theo over the last 3 years and that's with Gurley played 1000 more snaps. I find it hard to believe the Lions didn't have a role for him this year. They must really like what they have seen from rookie Ty Johnson.
Theo will have a job very soon. Still think he should be a full time slot guy. Has all the skills needed and played that at ND. Maybe the Pats will find room for him.
Based on I was reading from the Lions reporters, Detroit had enough money to sign Daniels, keep Theo and still have $14 million of cap space available. I agree Theo was a giveaway they were passing but that was his role: be on the field when they had to pass as he was both a solider receiver and pass blocker. Also, he was used in the slot to good effect from time to time. I felt like he could play a role similar to the often injured Amendola.
Appealing it, says he was using fertility treatment drugs without realizing it had a banned substance. Claims he notified the team, league and NFLPA. I remember he ripped Seahawks DBs for being selfish, getting themselves suspended for PEDs.
He was already a 3-down back, this just jacks his price up. He stays healthy his PPR floor is around 245 (1,500 YFS, 6 TDS, 60 rec.) That’s inside the top ten. Expect his ADP to rise from RB19 to RB15, he’ll still be a good value IMO.
As someone picking late in the 3rd in his main league, I hate what this is going to do to his adp
Ha! Yeah I have no shot either picking 34th (1.10 in a 12 team.) Whereas rn you can choose between Freeman, Kerryon or Aaron Jones in mocks, come late August it’ll be Drake, Jacobs or Lindsey.
Off topic - I am continually amazed Matthew Berry has a career as a FF analyst. He’s a buffoon.
I tell myself that every mock draft & have never taken him (because I have him as TE15 or sumtin.) Wondering too if Hayden Hurst starts earning his contract.
October 15. We’ll be 4-1 and coming off whupping Packers in Lambeau, everyone will be asking “are these guys for real? Does Hock have a shot at 20 TDs? Is Patricia a great coach or the greatest coach?”
Two days in a row he’s struggled with the one on one blocking RB v LB drill. It’s an evaluation that heavily favors the D but Ty Johnson has been looking decent. Hence the thought he’ll be ready to take over the Theo role.
Aye, but they were never NFL Champions when it was called that (1961-99.)
My opinion is KJ, CJ, and the kicker are the 3 best values on this team. Run first offense with the passes being spread around a bunch of people.
Coach Patricia talks a lot about consistency. Has to be pleased this is the fifth straight preseason game they’ve looked completely unprepared in every phase of the game.
Smartest man in the room. That’s presuming Bob Quinn is somewhere else, since he’s already done his once a year presser.
