MAC MCCAIN and CHASE LUCAS

[BigNatty]

@BigNatty

breakdowns, bro.

@Mr.Peabody

Here’s the breakdown.

• McCain, Hooker and Emmanuel are all from the same high school in Greensboro, North Carolina.
• Emmanuel was the starting QB, Hooker was Emmanuels backup and McCain was a few years younger so he didn’t hang out with Emmanuel and Hooker but they knew of eachother.
• McCain went to North Carolina A&T, which is in Greensboro, North Carolina. That is where Emmanuel was going to go to college before he got an offer from Tennessee to play DB.
• NC A&T is also where Brad Holmes went to college.
• NC A&T is where Hooker’s dad is in their sports hall of fame. Brad and Hooker’s dad are friends.
• Cam Sutton links in thru the Tennesee connection. He hosted Emmanuel on his recruiting visit and they played together at Tennessee. Interestingly enough they also played with a guy named Alvin Kamara.
• Cam Sutton was already friends with Analzone because they work out together in the offseason at a camp put on by a former NFL player.
• BONUS: Emmanuel and Hooker will be rehabbing their knees together. Incredible.

Mr.Peabody, there are Mormon genealogists waiting to talk to you on line 1 and screenwriters from As The World Turns on line 2. Which shall I put through first?

Doesn’t McCain know both Cam and Emmanuel (and probably Hendon as well).

Somehow I think you’re missing Anzalone in there. He’s the Kevin Bacon of football.

Yes he is. I mentioned the Cam Sutton part because Husker was specifically asking about Cam. But Analzone and CJ Gardner Johnson were teammates at Florida.

Yeah, but where does Kevin Bacon fit into all of this?

[Mr.Peabody]

Below is an article a writer did about Kevin Bacon and his brother. Now look at her bio.

How brothers Michael and Kevin Bacon found inspiration for the duo’s latest...

Lions fan and a craft brewery fan…damn…

@Jman

They weren’t in much of a RUSH to fill this need on draft day. Maybe I’m just being overly optimistic…? But I do agree with you.

Yeah, it makes me wonder a little if they feel like they are good there. This was a deep draft for corner help. Maybe the board just didn’t fall their way. The thing is you could say they like Jerry Jacobs but he is also a FA after this season so it seems to me they really need some guys there long term.

Brodric Martin DT
Antoine Greene WR

OR

Cameron Young DT …maybe martin still there?
Darius Rush CB (Use 219 rounder to trade up 2 spots)
Greene WR at pick 168 or Boutte WR Perry WR Washington WR Hutchinson WR Iosavis WR

I know what JMAN woulda done…

[Jman]

@DeadStroke

@Jman

MAC … we must really like him more than I thought and looks like a lock to make the roster and backup outside CB. Thoughts on him as our #4 CB ?

Have a hard time thinking that a street free agent that spent the entire 2022 season on a Practice Squad as being a lock. Can’t argue with your logic though.

Only a loser would think Mac would make the team. Jman what a bum!

Guess this means Iffy & Harris are our outside depth yuck

Can’t believe we didn’t address that position in the draft

Detroit Lions waive 3 players, including suspended wide receiver

[Weaselpuppy]

@Jman

Iffy - What do we do with him now that we are loaded back there? Is he gonna move back to outside CB? Is he just a Will Harris type dude that plays all the positions but none of them any good?

[BarrySanders20]

Both Lucas and Mac will both have roles. The NFL is a long season, a marathon. Players get hurt

[Jman]

@BarrySanders20

Both Lucas and Mac will both have roles

It looked like that after the draft…when we didn’t add to outside CB
but we waived Mac Mccain today.

Didn’t see that one coming!

[BarrySanders20]

Again, the season will be long and who knows how injuries will play out. We for the most part dodged the injury bug last season but this season it could be totally different.

[GermanLion]

UDFA Starling Thomas, 4.37 40yd speed should be helpful outside. Maybe the next Brock Wright of UDFAs.

[Jman]

Hopefully he’s ^ another Jerry Jacobs, but better

[BarrySanders20]

Curious why Starling wasn’t drafted???
