Chargers Vs Lions Pre Game Discussion - Bolts 2 Point Favorites

Thats not the TT model. We take a RB in the top 15, trading up as necessary. The next four years we cycle UDFAs thru camp and grab one or two Rd 7 scrubs looking for a hidden gem. Cycle restarts and another top #1 ...

That happened once.

Watched the highlights of Detroit's game v the Cards last week. The Cards' D spent a fair amount of time in the Lions' backfield in the 1st half. Detroit supposedly has one of the better OL. They dumped Stafford three times. Could be some opportunity there for Bosa & Co. Also ... the Lions' rookie TE had a phenomenal game for a rookie in his first game ever. Looks like Travis Kelce, He's gonna be a problem for our safeties and LBs on Sunday. I have him in our fantasy league, started him last week and plan to start him again this week.

Our defense generally makes Kelce a non factor for what it's worth.

Well, maybe TT's RB drafting model needs to change...I'd much rather take an OT or CB in round 1 and RB in round 3-4...TT has shown a willingness to change earlier models...for example, he used to regularly spend a 4th rounder to move up in round 1, but hasn't done that the past few years...

I agree. He should try using his 3rd round pick on RB given his track record to date. I have hope for this year's 3rd but long ago gave up on the others. KA excepted, of course.

Ninja, agree that our D needs to improve on all of the above, and I will also add they need to do a better job SHEDDING BLOCKS...too many wide open holes opened up for Mack...

BTW, Mack was drafted in round FOUR in 2017...one more example that good backs can be had in middle rounds...

Kyzir and TDavis had 23 combined tackles/15 solo in week uno.
I posted this elsewhere but here is a breakdown of Marlon Mack's stats against us.....

2 long runs accounting for 88 of his rushing yards. Without those 2 carries he ran 23 times for 86 yards or 3.7 YPC. When the ponies were down 9/+ their run game was very effective.
Full D issue. Tackling, run lane fill assignments, LOS play, and knockout mindset need to continue improvement.

Cardale may be available...

It's Kordell TC. You should know better smh

Yup, White needs to lose the pounds and Bradley needs to put him back at WILL and start Tranquill at MIKE. Can't be worse than what we saw vs Indy.

Jags defense will dominate colts offense. Texans offense will shred the colts defense. Tennessee will steamroll that colts defense.

Colts offense will dominate an undisciplined Jags defense (that will probably have half its players ejected five minutes into the game). The Colts defense will destroy Watson, who is behind the worst OL in the NFL, and the Colts offense will shred the Texans weak secondary. It'll be an interesting matchup between the Titans and Colts. Luckily, Brisset won't throw three interceptions in the fourth quarter like Mayfield did.

See I can play this game too

It is an interesting idea... but I would rather him just get moved back to WILL where he excelled before getting hurt last season. He has also gained some weight since his days in WV. I would really like to see Nasir at FS, White at WILL and Tranquill at MIKE.... Oh yeah, and JJ + Tillery need to be on the field and dominating.

how 'bout letting Kyzir step in for Derwin @SS ??

How about this: Feed Rayshawn pancakes for a week to put on some weight, move him to SS, and Adderley takes over at FS...problem solved...
