Hock on Joining the Vikes

“That’s what we’re here to do, is to go somewhere and win some games,” Hockenson said. “That’s kind of the first time I can say that.”

How sad is that quote after 4 years with the Lions! Shit.

That is one happy dude.

He never looked or acted like one of the guys who was “all-in”.

This is Hock’s perspective of the Lions organization and what its like to play in the NFL:

On the flip side I guess I also have some parting shots. I told my wife last night “hey, do you remember draft night a few years ago I told you there was a specific player I didn’t want the Lions to draft…we did it anyways…and you noticed me drop my head in disappointment at the pick? Well, we traded that guy. How can fans drinking beer know better than guys making millions to know this stuff?”

I bet Ragnow is very jealous.

It happens waaaaay too often.

“If our record was reversed, and it made sense for us, then we would have still done it. It wasn’t anything of that nature.” Brad Holmes - November 2nd.

No way I believe that, he says we were still trading Hock if we were 6-1 and in 1st place. Talk about bullshit!

12 wins in 4 years.

His new team could hit 12 wins this year.

Every Lions player is, except Goff and Anzalone and guys like Benetio maybe

Funny, he doesn’t look even a little sad.
Watch him go on a tear. You know he’s going to.

I doubt he’d be traded for sure, but they might let him walk at the end of the contract. They call that an “own rental” in hockey. The teams that think they can win often do that rather than sell at the TDL for beans.

I’m counting on it. He’ll get his thousand yards this year.

If Brad really said that, my respect for him just went down a notch. Pure unadulterated bullchit.

Better not listen to the interview posted in the Holmes 11/2/2022 thread.

He was a bad draft choice and lived up to it. With that being said, I wish him the best. Especially when he plays the Leos !

It’s meant to be!!! The stars have aligned. Tank Bigsby will end the curse and take us to the promise land!! lol

i listened to it, at least he redeemd himself a little bit by saying Hock’s contract was part of it. But only a little. If we were 6-1, or even 3-4, Brad would not have made that trade.

Still doesn’t.
Hoch has a scattered energy about him. He’s not a super-committal type of guy

I imagine he’s going to be super excited about facing our secondary.

Believe that his balls will descend, finally…
