    The offensive line is the entire engine of the offense. The Lions have a lot of playmakers but without protection and good run blocking up front, the weapons don't have a chance to flourish. They also missed LaPorta a ton tonight. The Lions are beat up and there were struggles even when healthy. Obviously plenty of season left but I think the previous two seasons were their real opportunity to win a Superbowl. I just have a feeling that their time as an elite team has come and gone.

    all this; they will not be bad anytime soon; but elite? not this year. it does not matter that you go 4 deep at RB and WR if the OL cannot protect your immobile QB

    So everything I felt after a few games has reversed, or appears to be wrong.  Our bench should actually be a strength, not a weakness.  The good vibes for Ron Holland are now kind of bad vibes.  Duncan Robinson is actually a viable replacement for Malik Beasley, and maybe even more well rounded as a player.  And Caris Levert is actually a decent rotation player and I can see why the Pistons chose him over bringing Hardaway back.  

    this is working out as the best case scenario for multiple players; Holland is the one guy who is not performing/getting better, and he's still just 20

    props to Langdon too; he had a better Summer than I thought

  3. Boras to Cohen: Steve, next Winter I look forward to discussing Tarik's free agency with you and the Mets. Obviously, it would not be appropriate to discuss any terms while he is under control of the Tigers, but he did mention that he loves coming to NY for award season, and getting bagels at his favorite store at 440 10th Avenue. That's 440 and 10, Steve. If you are interested, go to 440 and 10, Steve.

  4. Ok Tarik, if you want to stay, how about 10/400 starting now? that gives Skubal a $20M+ raise now, and re-sets the pitching market, and that takes one "dead" year off the back end for Detroit, and in advance of the 2027 lockout, give him a $35M signing bonus and salaries of 40/5/40/40/40/40/40/40/40/40 through 2035. CBA would still treat it as 40M/year, but Skubal would be protected from lost salary in 2027. I'm fine with opt out after 5 years. Deal?
