Decker not practing today per Dan C

Thwre was talk earlier this year that the Lions would prefer to keep guys at their current position…

so only 1 position is changed when a starter is out.

When Zeitler missed time, Glasgow stayed at OLG,
and Awosika filled in at ORG.

This makes me think Skipper may plug in at OLT…
and a TE may be lining up next to him often.

I also wonder if they use a jumbo formation…
would Sorsdal play the OT position… and keep Skipper as the “tackle eligible”…. since he knows how to report to the NFL refs so well this year. :smirk::laughing::sunglasses:

Is rackle the new slang for tackle? Like tuddy for TD?
Trying to keep up…As I’m older now than I’ve ever been…

The drop off from any of Decker, Sewell, & Goff are arguably what could hurt this team the most & what makes us go.

This is going to be an interesting test for our team.

Spot on but with Holmes’ wizardry watch Manu be forced into duty late season and them not skip a beat.

I have faith that Skip can rise to the occasion

Loved seeing how rapidly Manu improved in the preseason. No idea how far away or close he is as an NFL player yet, but that was very encouraging stuff that he put on film year one for a raw Canadian rookie

Manu will not be ready to play meaningful snaps in 2024… He may get a look as the first backup tackle in 2025, but his time is 2026 and beyond. Like you said, he was as raw as raw can be.

Yeah I don’t know when he’ll be ready. I think he’s much further along year one than Bro-Mart was year one. However much easier to hide a DT than an OT, apples to oranges I guess

HOF GM thinking right there

Haha we would have to change his name. He’d look and play exactly like Sewell but we would call him Senei Pewell. :joy: no one would suspect anything. Undrafted free agent from NotReal University

Skipper and Chips all day long? Plus a Price is Right New Hutch?

Sounds like an afternoon on sick day from middle school…

sucks, but we have options.

Disagree Wolf, considering who the options are I really don’t think we have options

not good, but getting better -just a few short years ago my heart literally stopped beating before I reached St Mary’s ER in Saginaw, I had a heart attack…Dr’s said my heart was the right size , but my arteries were really small and -over 90% clogged up…they hooked my heart up to a machine to make it beat, and put me under for the surgery. then, I fell in my bedroom and hit my back on the steel frame on it, and it fractured some of those little “finger-like” bones at the bottom of our vertebre- just escaped surgery then. NEXT ?, I had some small round wound on my head, that wouldn’t heal-Dr, determined it was cancerous- so I had to have skin surgery , twice to get it all.—back in mid-August 2024, it was a nice day, I decided to go fishing…on the way , I began making a Left-hand turn with my old Dodge truck…and BAM a man hit me so hard , it rolled my truck almost completely over-my truck was totaled with me inside…had to go see a magistrate for that…and pleaded to “Impeding traffick” a $170.00 fine, and ZERO points on my driver record-because they WERE going to give me two points and court and the whole thing. also passed out and hit my back on the concrete floor of my shed, because a Dr of mine -accidently gave me the wrong kind of medication-once…so it’s been a little rough- but man I got my Lions, I got my Fishing, God was there to let it slip and help me up , so I can’t cry about it.

Dang wolf you’ve been dealing with a lot, sorry to hear that. Good to see you having a positive spin on things at the end of the day and to hear that things are potentially improving. What kind of fishing have you been doing

Holy hell… If you didn’t have bad luck, you’d have no luck.
