Jason_R Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Yes, Montgomery was upset about a lack of carries. Yes, he probably said use me or trade me. Yes, the Lions probably said we want to keep you but if you insist on a trade we will honor it. Yes, the Lions want to establish that they are not going to cut him or give him away. Unsaid in the whole thing is that the Lions didn't go away from him because they think he lost a step. They went away from him because their offensive efficiency went way down, as did their total number of carries overall. They were relying on Gibbs to try to manufacture offense because their OL and blocking schemes were trash. I doubt he will be traded and I hope he is not. Quote

I doubt he will be traded and I hope he is not. exactly. monty got less carries becuase gibbs is one of the best players in the nfl, and a home run threat every time he touches the ball. no offense to monty, but gibbs needs more touches if the lions are to win games. monty is replaceable, gibbs is not.
