Now I want Okung to play left tackle, and maybe take a flyer on fluker cheap for right guard.

Lions fan here. Congrats on signing Reiff, I know you guys were really in need of a tackle.
Reiff is about as average as a tackle can possibly be. He can play either LT or RT, being perfectly average at both. He will have a few games that are slightly above average, and a few that are below average that might have some of you pulling your hair out. Where Reiff really struggles is with speed rushers. He isn't especially good in the run game.
Congrats again, and hopefully you guys didn't pay too much.

I agree. A ham and cheese sandwich is better than Kalil. Not sure what the Panthers were thinking.jackal wrote:He is better than Kalil imo

i don't like letting Locke walk. He was a draft pick and he really did well last season. Zero compensation and now a need.

I agree 1,000%. I can't imagine he would be that expensive either. What punters are available?Nunin wrote:i don't like letting Locke walk. He was a draft pick and he really did well last season. Zero compensation and now a need.

Are we looking at Kickers too? Wasnt the guy we signed midseason (blanking on the name cause its been a long day of drinking on the beach) only signed through the rest of the season?

Not a chance I would draft him. He may have learned his lesson and will be a good human being going forward, but no way I draft/sign a guy who laid a woman out like that, no way.Norv Zimmer wrote:Apparently Zimmer, Speilman, and our running backs coach were at RB Joe Mixon Pro day today. In my eyes the kid made a big mistake 3 years ago, he has accepted it and done everything asked of him since then. I don't think anyone really knows besides the two involved what really happened that night. I wouldn't be opposed to us drafting this kid.

Kai Forbath. I don't think he'll be tough to replace. His accuracy was okay last year but he's seriously bad on kickoffs.beerfan wrote:Are we looking at Kickers too?

I'd like to see them sign Zurlien from the Rams. They let him go today. He's got a cannon of a leg (hence the "Greg-the-leg" nickname) and most of his struggles where when Fisher lost his mind and had him kicking 55+ kicks routinely.S197 wrote: Kai Forbath.
