They have clearly indicated that he doesn’t fit their mold as edge setter/rusher. Having lost both of their starters at this position, they may need to adapt temporarily to the players they have available. This is not going to change their philosophy on defense, and it seems unlikely that Houston is going to transform himself over the next three weeks into Davenport, Hutch, or even Barnes. But Houston may fit better into other rosters or defensive philosophies.

We have the Vikings, Titans, and Packers before the trade deadline. Something tells me Brad and Dan will wait to see how the pass rush holds up against MIN and GB before making a trade. This could also be a chance for them to showcase Houston as a trade chip. He won’t be a blockbuster but he could be part of a package for a player to fill in for Hutch/ Davenport.

I don’t think this guy has inside info but may explain why there has been confusion.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤞🏻

The team reported it was just the tibia. It seems as if Campbell initially said it was a compound fracture and the PR team corrected him, so there is certainly confusion out there. I didn’t watch the replays so I don’t know how it looked, though people who saw it feared for the worst. Hopefully we get a good prognosis tomorrow.

Bad but not worst case scenario.

Wonder if this is what it takes for Houston to get on the field.

Lions recover.

Scored on Dallas.

Dr. Jimmy Liao covers the Lions. He says the same thing. Tibia/fibula fracture. Out for season. Link below. Tweet has still pic. https://x.com/jimmyliaomd/status/1845591063974875265?s=46&t=eWaweF6zj8UzDQ_epZfEBA

https://sicscore.com/nfl/updates/detroit-lions-de-aidan-hutchinson-suffers-season-ending-injury Dr. Chao thinks he will be back for 2025. Awful for Hutch and the Lions.

This is what it seems like.

Will Jerry fire McCarthy at halftime and take over playcalling duties?

This is glorious.

Patrick may have been an inch short, but this is his coming out party.

All true. Exactly why it was going to come down to Skubal throwing 15 scoreless innings of 45 and Hinch/Fetter managing chaos. It’s remarkable they lasted as long as they did!

Yeah, I’m still agitated about the fifth inning yesterday. If the Lions put up 45 in Jerry’s house, that might help me get over it.

He should get his mustache an agent.

That was one hell of a run. As soon as Skubal gave up the grand slam, it was over. The run was based on him dominating in every start, and on Hinch and Fetter pushing the right buttons with everyone else. There were only so many buttons to push with that roster, though. Basically every hitter other than Carpenter and Meadows disappointed. People are down on Torkelson, and rightly so, but he outhit Greene in the post-season. Had they gotten anything out of either of them they might have squeaked through. But it was all on the left arm of Skubal. He was a little less than perfect in the 5th (after Greene GIDP in the 4th, and botched a line drive in the 3rd) and that was it. Disappointing end to a historic run.

"shinning" They could play ten thousand NFL seasons and this trade would never get made. Unless we send back Hutch and ASB.
