Aidan Hutchinson--very interesting comments

The Den

I don’t mind the brash personality and, in fact, I prefer the alpha dog personality in some ways but there’s a little too much “I” and “Me” in this for my liking and it’s the context of the I and Me that is a bit off putting. I also have in the back of my mind that Thibs didn’t exactly “bring guys with him” in the Utah games last year. Well, I guess he did brought the guys with him down the gutter.

His talent is undeniable, the most upside in this draft IMO, but he’s going to turn a lot of teams off the more he talks. As I said, I don’t mind the cockiness but NFL execs that are big on culture are going to have pause I think so I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s a faller tomorrow night to the back half of the top 10.

Talk this morning about Oregon pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux falling might be premature. It could be another premium pass rusher with a surprise “slide”. I’ll be on

@woodwardsports

at 3:00 PM today to talk about the implications of this for the Detroit Lions.

@BottomLineWSN

He linked to this guy, so this must be what he’s going to talk about:

I find Jalens comments to be out from left field. Telling someone how confident is being arrogant?

What kind of world would we be we if didn’t encourage others? Encouraging others builds character and unity, does it not?

Encouraging others is important. I don’t think you’ll find a human on this planet that would not consider that to be a good thing. Not sure what that has to do with what we’re talking about.

Hutch was instrumental in changing the culture at UM, the team followed his lead as well as Haskins. He not only talk about it, he’s proven it

He’s saying the exact opposite of how you took it. He’s responding to haters saying that you shouldn’t be too confident or cocky.

Never mind, I spoke too soon.

Gotta love the out of nowhere, player is falling down draft boards 36 hours before the draft. To a big market team no less. One they would absolutely love to have fall to them.

Are we sure that shot of Jordan isnt after he lost 100k on the ponies?

That would drive me to want to take up trying to hit curveballs in rural Alabama, too.

I don’t know how much stock people put into Vegas but Hutch is now the odds favorite to be drafted by the Lions.

Energy here imho is simply the thing you can’t see in texts, post here at the Den or tweets

It’s the non-verbal part of communication and account for 70% or more of the “what” in what someone is saying…. That’s the problem with. Written text or he said she said

Need the person - I’m person - to see hear and feel the communication….

And some get it and how to read it properly and some never do….

So what if he decides he doesn’t like the his coach, or the team he’s on?

35

I thought it might have been after Laimbeer, Dumars, and Isaiah had kicked his butt, employing the “Jordan Rules”, en route to the Pistons Championship…lol.

Unfortunately, Hutchinson doesn’t have much say.

I’d bet he would lobby to come to Detroit, if Jax is the option. LOL.

It’s possible that they got so much money on Hutch as #1 early that they don’t want any more on him to balance their books. Hutch still makes a lot of sense to the Jags. But we’ll see soon…
