Colon is the least surprising one on there.

DJ Reed has forgotten how to play football since his injury.

Derrick Barnes is the invisible man.

Marcus Davenport shouldn’t be anywhere near a football field.

Love Jamo.

Give Jared & ARSB their statues now.

Those grades seem to track how I felt watching

I know you are taking them with a massive grain of salt. But my favorite description of PFF has to be “astrology for dudes.”

3 FA signings on that bottom line. And one fa on the top. Im surprised DJ got a grade

Exactly what I was going to say… PFF and I are on the same page

Feels kind of dirty, doesn’t it?

It’s sort of like agreeing with Cowherd or Florio on something.

This passes the eye test, IMO.

This is also why after losses I feel like we’re misconfigured on defense.

Barnes needs to be Julian Peterson, but he’s more Tahir Whitehead.

Reed needs to be Revis, but he’s more of a Justin Coleman at this point.

We have some good players, players you wouldn’t dream of cutting, but do you have the starters necessary to play the system we’re trying to run?

I think that interior penetrator is the missing link. The one we’ve swung and missed at several times.

Something hasn’t been talked about is DJ Reed. He has been awful and has been a horrible FA signing. It’s the cherry on top of a shitty off-season for the Lions?

Reed was awesome before he got hurt. A completely different player than he is right now.

I’m thinking he is either still hurt, or bombing because he isn’t being supported by 2 of the best safeties in the league.

Hard to say, the sample size was so small before he got hurt.

He absolutely has to be playing at 75 percent right!? If not that would be the worst contract we have given out in a long time.

Im hoping thats the case. Because he looks worse then Sutton

Barnes contract seemed like a gift.

Maybe it’s the Lions coaching and system.

I still hold strong to the idea that Kerby is backbone that keeps the D going. We’re spineless right now.

He was really good before he got hurt… He’s played really poorly since his return

The DL play has regressed against the run.

Reed can’t be 100%.

So with no DL or safety help, you have little chance against Stafford throwing to puka and davante.
