Big baby had questionable work ethic.

This debate is about what players love football more than they love their mothers.

And this guy. He’s kind of like the tomb of the unknown Lions fan. Thanks WCF Sr.

Mike compton… and his oline versatility would be useful right now.

You nailed it, Sledge all the way.

He and Jamo could trade betting tips!

I wonder what Jamaal Williams is thinking. Ended up with less money than the Lions offered him. Played behind a much poorer o-line on a worse team. Saw his numbers plummet. And now sees the Lions playing in the NFC title game.

F*** around and find out.

And hurt his rep with that stupid last play no kneel down and ignore coach play.

Don’t know about fit, but I sure wish we had Ray Crockett right about now

Sure. Team Grit can use a backup!

Ray was one of my picks as well! Loved Ray back in the day. Crushed me when he went to Denver in free agency.

Going in a more recent direction I would say prime Slay and Kyle Van Noy who would fit that Sam like a glove in Aaron Glenn’s system.

Reading all the names suggested here, I realized I must be old!

Still, the one player that came immediately to mind was Alex Karras, an All Pro DT that defined the Lions in the sixties.

Big baby in his prime shaun rogers would be a great add for the next 2 games

…& Barry…cuz they fit ANY team, regardless of what you are trying to Do

Can you imagine a Stafford to Jamo connection? Jamo might lead the league in yards!

Suh was drafted into a pack of morons. In this culture he would be beloved and the leader. Suh Would have been handled differently by coaches and gm

This, big time. Suh was absolutely a Dan Campbell type guy. At least he is if CJGJ is, who is constantly making things about himself. Then I’d go CJ, Night Train Lane and Porcher. Add those four dudes in their primes to this roster and we are raising the Lombardi fo sho.
