1984Echoes Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I don't know if he needs to have a fully flexible hand to control a defensive lineman, either incoming or in the rushing game... but that's what Campbell intimated on detroitlions.com. Maybe he would suck at LT working with 1.5 hands? Seems pretty damn weak... But if we could just get a 1st rounder "plus" offer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell did throw him under the bus a little this week though - he at least half implied Decker could be be playing in stuff I read the other day.

I don't know what exactly Decker's finger injury is but I've had what is known as "mallet finger" before and I had to wear a splint on my finger for 10 weeks. No it didnt hurt and I could do day to day tasks with it but I sure as hell wouldn't have been able to compete at the highest level against the best competition. If you're the Lions you have to ask yourself is it worth possibly exposing him and lowering his worth just to play in meaningless games? Or have him possibly injure something else or pick up bad habits trying to compensate for the injury? I think they just wanted to get Sewell thrown in at LT since he seemed to struggle at RT. It looks like Decker had a "setback". Most players aren't 100%. I cannot see a LT not playing because of a finger injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 i dont think its a conspiracy at all. i do love the news about deshawn hand taking snaps! lol. all that means is that deshawn hand is about to get hurt again. he'll be out of league in two years. the lions will cut him after this season. another team will pick him up because he is talented, and then cut him after they realize he'll never be healthy.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Way to go Lions on the Spielman induction, that was a classy move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 That was pretty awesome and creative. I still remember having a poster in my bedroom as a kid with Spielman and a couple real Lions in the background, I think it said something "King of the Jungle".

Hung in my room for a few years before getting replaced by a Jenny McCarthy poster. It just so happened that he left the Lions right about the time I started puberty. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
