I know it’s early but I’m just starting to get major Reggie Bush vibes from Gibbs as in he’s a solid above average player in certain packages but not a star running back who will ever be the definitive go-to guy for the Lions.
It sure would be nice to have Carter next to hutch on that line right now taking some of the double teams off him while having a running back that we got in the third round or later.
He definitely disappointed between the tackles today. And the dropped pass was a bummer
It sucks seeing Bijan and Carter playing so well too. But it’s early and there’s a lot of time to figure things out
It’s mostly agreed too that DMo was an upgrade over Swaggy but not if he’s going to be injured
Hated the pick, waiting to be proved wrong.
You say him just being another Reggie Bush likes it’s a bad thing.
If he would have caught that pass and taken it to the house this conversation wouldnt be happening. Gibbs will be fine.
Some guy spoiled the pick in the draft thread and I still didn’t believe it.
As far as I know Reggie Bush never even made a Pro Bowl and didn’t come close to living up to the expectations based on his college career.
Like I said I think Gibbs is still perfectly capable of being a guy you want on your team who can be a weapon but considering who we passed up on to take him where we did I think you need to get a legitimate star at the running back position if you take one that high for it to be even close to worth it
Honestly I don’t like how we are using him. We are only using him for his unique traits. You have to dial up some inside tough tough runs. If you take a rb in the first round he has to be more than a jerrick mckinnon
No…but would have rather had Carter on this DL next to Hutch, but I dont get paid the big bucks to assess the weaknesses on this team and not make basic, common sense decisions 
Then you drafted the wrong RB. Thats not his game.
When Montgomery went down I thought… well now we can get Gibbs going, get him in a rhythm, etc. Instead we just subbed him in when we wanted to run a route or draw… and put in Reynolds otherwise
If he can’t be effective running him inside like kamara or McCaffrey… than he’s a 3rd rounder
Yeah… thats why some of us hated the pick.
The reason players like that are special is because they are running backs AND receivers. If he can’t run inside… he’s just a 3rd down back or a part time receiver. If that’s the case why would you draft that in the first?
I hated it too… but if they viewed him like kamara… why arent they using him that way?
I think Gibbs will be fine with a medium uptick in PT , he will sink or swim .
The way he ran on his few touches against KC I thought maybe he did have some tough run ability. But we didn’t even give him a shot to do that in this game
Montgomery.
We get to see what Gibbs can do next week. If they start Netflix over him im ■■■■■■■ done.
Holmes seems to have a weird draft strategy. He latches on to players that he thinks can help the team without thought into how much help and what other value is out there. A 3rd down RB can help this team, thats probably enough for Holmes.
Some pretty good seasons in there, Gibbs isn’t close to Bush right now.
You should change it from Reggie Bush to Brian Calhoun
