That said – when GB lines up 5 wide – Cobb, Finely, Driver, Jennings, and Jones, who covers whom?
——————————————–
The real question is: Who’s covering Aaron Rodgers’ spleen? Cuz that’s where the ball’s going.

You bring up an interesting problem. I think in that case, we let all 5 go, and Suh, Fairley, and VB just rip Rodgers head off.

Above us? You better start looking down, then!

Will make Thanksgiving fun for once.

I can see you feeling your oats but you still need to realize there are teams above you that can still cause you issues.

They have now moved from a 5 win season to a 6 win season …… Can 8-8 be that many years off ??

If that happens, we can blame the outside LBs, not Tulloch.

Sincerely,
A Lions Fan

Dear Lions’ fans: Have fun getting torched by every tight-end you play this season.

Sincerely,
A Titans Fan

Okay, who could cover anybody with it taking your DL 10 minutes to catch of whiff of the opposing QBs cologne? With the amount of time QBs will have against our front 4 Sleepy Smurf could cover T.O

My only fear however would be that we would set a bad example to the next guys we are after. Signing and trading is kind of deceiving. I hope that it is done correctly if they do so at all, but seems a bit thin. Although, I did hear that Phili was after a LB. I did see that they traded DT Broderick Bunkley though. That may open the door for a DT Corey Williams move. Thoughts?

Outside guys pull that responsibility. Middle linebackers drop into the zone or chase the running back into the flat typically. I think Detroit has themselves in good position against the pass to tightends. They are going to have to chip before getting of as is.

Elite guys get 90+ and there is only like 1 of those at any position available for megabucks. The top value guys are your solid starters in the 70s-80s range. The lions are collecting DBs and LBs in the mid to high 70s. With their front line, it should be more than enough. Rock on Lions!

Can I get out of the contract I just signed?

In this game of LB musical chairs, Rosenhaus couldn’t afford to have his client be the last one without a chair and given the Lions clear and early interest, blowing that one may have left Tulloch in the same position as Leigh Bodden, who ended up signing a veteran minimum deal with NE in 2009 after overestimating his market value.

This front seven should be very solid. Doesn’t matter who they put at DB they should have a easier time covering in 3rd and long situations with a good pass rush. Can you say 10-6??????
