Hutch and Alim are not playing at pre injury levels.  The IOL has been trashed by injuries.  It's frustrating 

It will be even more frustrating if the IOL gets healthy and the offense starts clicking after it no longer matters

I don't know what Glasgow's PFF grades have been, but he has felt like a weak link all year long. So I don't know, given his age and decline in play, that he would ever be clicking with this line. He's just a not that good a player at this stage on his career. It's why bringing back a Zeitler or getting a similar player in the offseason was wanted by many. That way a guy like Ratledge could have possibly taken snaps at Center or possibly rode the bench for part of the season while they tried Glasgow out.

59.3 or 28/38 of graded centers overall

59.8 or 21/38 pass block 

58.6 or 33/38 run block 

Basically he is not even playing at a replacement level. I would be shocked if he is on next year’s roster.

I think that's the issue.  At least for me it is.  We gave up multiple picks to move up to get a guy who's raw and a work in progress? I didn't like it at the time and even less so now. The pass catching is one thing, but his blocking is atrocious. I don't understand why they aren't in win now mode. 

I think the coaches are being stupid playing crappy players like Raymond and Kennedy over him and it’s indicative of a bigger issue. We hoard draft picks like they are prized possessions because the players we draft will help us win but then after spending all that draft capital we don’t even play the player. 

I like the fact that he caught a TD on 2 targets is some sort of vindication.

Do you understand football? TeSlaa is a rookie. Raymond has been around for several years. I would expect the Lions to have more routes for Raymond as well as Goff having more confidence in a receiver he's known for years over a rookie he's only known for months. I repeat, the Lions are lucky to have TeSlaa.

Calm down, you aren’t a professional. You are on a message board like the rest of us.
