New Lions CB Carlton Davis wants to create Bulls, Lakers-like dynasty in Detroit

I think Lions fans would settle for a Pistons-like run.

This kind of talk makes me think that Brad’s initial conversations with Davis indicated a desire to seek a long term deal. What with dynasty talk and all. Hard to see that happening until he shows something in Detroit, but it does sound like it’s a carrot that Holmes has dangled.

Yeah but that doesn’t really tell the story, go look at his stats in Man coverage. Tampa was playing more zone from my understanding and was part of why he had a drop off, Holmes wanted someone strong in man and that what Davis is.

Same thing with the other CB Amick, people are judging him from the slot but if you read he got tons better when McDaniels moved him outside were he thrived he is physical in man. Holmes got him to play outside not the slot. I Even read were if something happen to Branch Sutton would move inside and Amick would play outside. Witch all makes sense.

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer players who let their body of work do the talking for them and keep it vanilla in front of the microphone.

If he truly feels that way we should be seeing a contract extension. Spreading that 14 mil out will help us with other signings.

Is this in reference to jmans post? He was showing a snip from an article discussing the weakness the lions had vs number 1 wr not davis performance? Sorry if i misunderstood

At cornerback I’ll take cockiness bordering on delusion.

He did say “go check the film and let me know what you think”

It seems like it’s omnipresent with DBs, whether they’re good or not. I don’t think it’s any indicator of ability.

Just send Carlos the chase video

I thought it was interesting he referenced basketball dynasties and not football ones. It made me think: is he an athlete/basketball guy that just chose football because of the opportunity? But ppl say his film room game is top notch

As long as they do this, I could care less what they say in front of the mic

El Jefe didn’t have it. Not sure about Cam either tbh.
