Motown Bombers

Laporta is fast for a TE. What in the world am I missing?

What are you talking about? Laporta had the third best 40 of any TE at the combine. Better than all the other top TE candidates.

CJGJ and Branch are pretty good against the run so you wouldn't be sacrificing a lot against the run.

I also feel like Glenn held his cards close to the vest. The Lions really ran a vanilla defense against Minnesota. With 3 good safeties plus Branch, I think we are going to see looks we haven't seen all year. There's just not tape out there with these safeties plus Branch.

The Lions defense is wild. The Lions lead the NFL is pressure percentage, QB hurries, and QB hits but rank 24th in sacks. If they can convert a few of these pressures into sacks, it would help the secondary a lot.

I notice when you get to the Lions portion of the highlights he was used as more of a vertical threat. Lot of throws up the seam.

Here's an article on why Campbell is a better coach than McVay. https://theathletic.com/5190968/2024/01/12/jared-goff-lions-belief?source=user-shared-article I also liked this little quote from the article. Nice dig at the Bears and Fields. “It was big, being able to go somewhere where I can have a quarterback who would run the entire offense,” said Montgomery, who signed with Detroit from Chicago."

I don't know, Gus Fring used to hook up the DEA with fried chicken. Could all be part of his cover.

Laporta questionable, Mitchell and Houston out.

To be fair, it's going to be dangerously cold in Kansas City. I wouldn't pay money to get frostbite and watch the game.

Laporta running the same drills as the other TEs. Mitchell is absent so we really need Laporta back.

Branch getting some votes.

If Laporta plays, I have to think the line would move to the Lions.

Dak had 345 yards against Detroit and 92 of them came on a play where both Barnes missed a sack and the DB fell down. Believe it or not but the 400 yard game from Mullens against the Lions wasn't even his first 400 yard game or career high.

Have to think this means James Houston.

Has there ever been a 1st team All-Pro who was not a Pro Bowler?

I don't know, I think the Pistons could use a player like Draymond to punch them in the face and knock some sense into them.

If Ben Johnson goes to Washington, do we wear Detroit Commanders shirts?

They'll go after Draymond Green.

Mayo even had it in his contact he was the successor. They've been grooming him for this position for a while now.
