Suddenly I don't feel so bad about our secondary.

Kevin Barnes is in the mix to start at CB along with Chris Houston for Detroit. We probably would have cut him.

Much of the post was simple and undeniable fact e.g. Mike has produced two last place finishes, and that is the bottom line in pro football, winning.

We all hope this is the year things turnaround.



***That is also the bottom line for ol' Chuck. Or so I've been told.

Sure, if you don't want to count the fact that Detroit has lost it's top [U]three[/U] CB's to injury and those three weren't very good to begin with.

Chuck, charlie, charlie sheen, winning.

I didnt think it too obscure.

That was gonna bug the crap outta me very grateful you responded. I would have got it...two years ago lol.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
 

Don't feel bad, no one else got it either.

Well, that's kinda the point. The fact that K.Barnes good be in the starting mix for [I]anybody[/I] under any circumstances would indicate that, bad as our secondary issues are, there are teams out there with much worse.

Again, we have issues that keep us from the top of the league but even in those areas there are teams with worse situations. At least we have some areas of real strength (LB's and DL). Maybe not elite, but certainly good enough to compete with top teams.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
 

Im gonna miss the game tonight because of my pay league fantasy draft, but tonight is a HUGE night for a number of guys in the secondary. C Griff, Thomspon, Crawford are fighting for the nickel corner position. And the Safeties are still fighting to see who slots where as well as who makes the team. Should be a good battle between Gomes, Reed and Berstine.

Detriot is also going to be starting Keiland Williams at RB. He was pretty good when he was here, as a reserve, but that's scary that a team would be starting a guy cut from our team at RB in Week 1...and another potential cut from our paper thin secondary at CB.

If Stafford reverts to his injuy-prone self, it will be a long, miserable season for this Lions team that everyone loves in preseason predictions. They also have so many off-the-field issues and Suh's on-the-field temper to deal with.

I just don't see the Lions doing much this year, especially with Green Bay and Chicago beating up on them in the division. If Stafford does down, they'll be battling the Vikings for the basement.

I could see Knowshon Moreno in Detroit

I could see Knowshon Moreno on Detroit's PUP list.

Ham sandwich AND a Guinness.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
 

According to Shanahan it was an "undisclosed" draft pick. I don't get the undisclosed part. What does it matter if people know what the pick is?

If it's undisclosed until finalized (i.e. passes physical, paperwork approved, etc.), I kind of get that b/c, if the deal goes south, maybe you can get another offer and knowledge of the original offer may affect subsequent trade attempts.

Other than that, however, why "undisclosed"?

[QUOTE=Lotus;935240]Ham sandwich AND a Guinness.[/QUOTE]

For all of us? Because if thats the case i have no problem with this trade.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
 

If an undisclosed, conditional pick goes down in the off-season and nobody hears it.....
