Treehugger Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ugh, this sucks. Lead the NFL in tackles last week, I was hoping we'd finally have our next great LB but I guess we'll have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 ....he played pretty well last night. C. Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 ....he played pretty well last night. C. Wagon I strongly disagree. He made 2 good plays, mostly got swallowed up and taken out of plays in the run game. He can't blockshed for shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I strongly disagree. He made 2 good plays, mostly got swallowed up and taken out of plays in the run game. He can't blockshed for shit. Exactly. Remember that time I said we should've signed Gerald Hodges? THIS is what I was talking about. Another mediocre TE ate us alive last night.

He can't blockshed for shit. He can be coached to shed blocks better but the instincts he flashed for getting to the ball can't. Mark me down as cautiously optimistic. I can't wait to see more BJ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 He did ok given it was his first start... made a couple of good plays but had his bad moments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman329 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Exactly. Remember that time I said we should've signed Gerald Hodges? THIS is what I was talking about. Another mediocre TE ate us alive last night. First, Ebron is a pretty good TE, second, the SS usually covers the TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 First, Ebron is a pretty good TE, second, the SS usually covers the TE. Correct. The MLB needs to keep his eyes on the QB... The QB was able to scramble and get 1st downs on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman329 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Depends on the defensive call. Sometimes the LB drops into coverage......and when there are only two on the field, which is often the case, there isn't really a "Middle". Other times, a RB is his responsibility, either stopping the run or covering out of the backfield. If he's "spying" the QB, then yes, he has to contain the scramble.....but I don't think that was the case on most of those Stafford runs Monday night. I think our front four lost contain a few times.

He can't blockshed for shit. A little prospective Jim... A undrafted Rookie....who wasn't supposed to make the team...and when he did make it was supposed to be cannon fodder on STs....starting his first game....as a 3 down LB......(who acted like he actually wanted to be there from the 1st to the 4th quarter)...who.... made two really good plays..was close on a couple of others........and didn't shed blocks well...in the general vicinity the ball was going....I got no problem with him thus far. Fuck...lets try him at left tackle next week. He wont quit at least. C. Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 First, Ebron is a pretty good TE, second, the SS usually covers the TE. Ebron is NOT a good TE. In fact, he's widely considered a bust. Not the LB's fault on the touchdown... that was our fantastic ballhawking free safety who keeps tracking the ball poorly... but there were a number of other passes in the flat that should have been covered that weren't.

Beg to differ! Ebron's problem has been staying healthy. When not hurt, he's been pretty good - over 700 yards in 13 games last year and the Lions have already picked up his 5th year option for 2018. Doesn't sound like they think he's a bust. I will give you that he hasn't put up big numbers, because he's hurt too damn often but the guy has talent.

I honestly don't get to watch too many Lions games, so I'm pretty much going on PFF grades and fantasy numbers, both of which are bad. But to put things in perspective, 87-year-old Jason Witten sure looked good catching that TD two weeks ago... something I've been saying for ten years. At some point we'll have a GM who thinks linebackers are a worthwhile unit on the team, possibly sooner than later depending on how this season goes.
