At this point, we have to take the best guys we can find and game them up... A lot of the game is mental. These guys are getting the opportunity that they have been craving. I hope they make the most of it.
Well said. At that level, playing with a Super Bowl contender, is going to lift the level of play of any player. If they rise to the occasion and contribute their career will be changed forever. And they know it.
Coach and Brad Holmes seems to like the big guy’s. James was something like 6’1” 245 I think. Theses guys Will prosper after coming to Detroit I guarantee it
From his perspective.... This is the chance of a life time!!! Go from PS hit n miss to being a starter winning a SB!!! Jonah would give his left nut for a chance like that!!!
I can’t hate it. You may as well sign more bums off the streets and see what you can get from these new guys because you need help with the pass rush and defense anyway. Who knows you may find some hidden gems that come out of nowhere.
Lions fan here in Wisconsin. Just a warning the Packers are no joke. They don’t have the injuries we have and are looking good. They come to Ford field and win next Thursday hate to say
Nah I’m not bugging about James. Hopefully he can revive his career. Just sucks because that fractured leg probably changed everything he was great in 2022
Betts was not NFL caliber. He seemed like he was a cool dude and a great story, but NOBODY in the NFL wanted to mess with him. Even after the Lions gave him a long shot.
We don't need that guy, we need guys that can do their jobs on the field and make the play when it comes your way I love the David long jr add dude is a dawg
cant do nothing at this point but pick up ppl off practice squads and keep moving forward just suck we've lost so much talent on defense...only thing that was going to slow us down. Injuries ..i know other teams have them but we've lost starters and depth for the starters we are down to practice squads now its rough but we still got it
I know Dan is trying to stay strong but the next man up mentality is only good when you have another player available but problem is we’re running out of defensive players 😂
better to poach players off other practice squads than free agents not with anyone. practice squad players are in game shape. Guys off the street may be in good shape but maybe not in game shape from being away from it for some time.
Given the injury rate in this sport, I'm surprised that the rosters aren't larger. Here we are grabbing guys off other PS, and they only have a week to learn the team's schemes. Since you know that you will go through 75+ players in a season anyway, why not keep these guys on hand so they at least know the playbook, the coaches, and their teammates? Make the rosters at least 60 players.
People don't want to admit that blowing that lead to san fran last year and having the best record this year but with the whole starting d being out for the season are just a continuation of the curse from a different,even more heartbreaking angle. The conditioning is pretty much the same for every team. These guys are elite athletes and train hard
As weird as this sounds, next year, with all these additions WITH rehabilitated players (zadarius WITH Hutch etc) we'll have a better team next year than now, unbelievable. ( ps, the chiefs STINK)

Well said GO LIONS
Who knows. You may find some hidden gems. More opportunities for these guys to showcase what they can do
Yes Mohammed is a great example he played huge yesterday
Well said. At that level, playing with a Super Bowl contender, is going to lift the level of play of any player. If they rise to the occasion and contribute their career will be changed forever. And they know it.
@@LION-q7g1c If Muhammed plays like he did consistently or even elevate his play, he would definitely be a gem.
Jonah W is fast and athletic, and tall. He could be used to disrupt the passing games of MN and GB getting near the QB with the big paws in the air
Derrick you are the Tom Pelissero of Detroit Lions content. You rock my brother Lion. Thanks for all you do
Coach and Brad Holmes seems to like the big guy’s. James was something like 6’1” 245 I think. Theses guys Will prosper after coming to Detroit I guarantee it
Appreciate that man, keeping my head down and working hard. 💪
Another great signing today!
Thanks for keeping everyone updated Derrick, appreciate all the hard work you do
Has any other team gone through this depleted rosters and still make History. The way the Lions are doing it this year.
Brad Holmes probably has a white board in his war room office full of contingencies for each player on the roster and which team they’re on
Kwon has to be on the 53. They got him off of Denver's PS.
You right
Derrick needs to be a nfl analyst hes living breathing nfl football , this guy is a good example of Detroit grit!!!
We need to increase the roster count and force rest every player at least one game including the qb
Thank you 🙏 Derek!!!!
No prob 🙏
This is how bad our injuries are
From his perspective.... This is the chance of a life time!!! Go from PS hit n miss to being a starter winning a SB!!! Jonah would give his left nut for a chance like that!!!
I can’t hate it. You may as well sign more bums off the streets and see what you can get from these new guys because you need help with the pass rush and defense anyway. Who knows you may find some hidden gems that come out of nowhere.
Yes, and it's important to do your research on the player that you're poaching, bc too see if that player can make a difference in a certain position
🔥Twan Alexander Is Still A Dawg.🏈 Check Out How He Defends The Pass And Fires Out On The Run.🏈🔥❤️🙏🏾✌🏾

Yes I agree, very hard to say that but true. If the bookies screw up and give the Pack points, JUMP all over it!
Yep...way too many injuries.
I call bullshite!!!
We need a perfect game on offense next week
Nah I’m not bugging about James. Hopefully he can revive his career. Just sucks because that fractured leg probably changed everything he was great in 2022
Let’s the team be healed and let’s win this Super Bowl!
Holmes needs to bring back betts.
Why do ppl keep bring up Betts? Zero teams pick the guy up after he was cut
Mookie
@@korodski🤣
On the real though, Betts could be a great addition right now
Betts was not NFL caliber. He seemed like he was a cool dude and a great story, but NOBODY in the NFL wanted to mess with him. Even after the Lions gave him a long shot.
We also signed Kwon Alexander from the Broncos practice squad!
We need all the help we can get at this point
Time to call Matthieu Betts. He already knows the system.
He signed a two-year contract with the CFL. I don't know the procedure for buying out CFL contracts.
Been saying the same since his season was finished in the C.F.L
Hopefully, if the Lions are able to get him, the coaching staff let's him play his natural position, and not force him into a new position.
Holmes made the call to the rams u got anybody over there that’s good. Yeah u guys going to the Super Bowl we gotta go on the practice squad.
Practice Squad is where you can find the bargains, though. I trust Brad Holmes to avoid players who aren't amenable to Campbell's system.
Detroit needs to sign JJ Watt 😊
Make a video on David long jr and Muhammad #69 if you could please they deserve recognition
He should immediately move to starter. He produced immediately on the field.
You can win with backups, but not against playoff talented teams.
We don't need that guy, we need guys that can do their jobs on the field and make the play when it comes your way
I love the David long jr add dude is a dawg
I thought with the waiver wire if you were a certain age as in a veteran you bypass the waiver wire and sign where you want
I wonder how helpful Iffy would be if they could get him back and get him in the LB room
I liked what Isaac ukwu did in the pre season, let’s bring him up and give him some reps
Any chance Cominsky or Davenport might be back? That would be huge, both are solid players
Aiden is walking around now.
Did you mention the DE from the Broncos the Lions brought in?
If ime correct Jona Williams has a pff of 39, it only makes sense to me to bring up a draft pick from last year or this in hopes he will do well.
My question is what are we going to do with All of these players after our Cats gets healthy???
cant do nothing at this point but pick up ppl off practice squads and keep moving forward just suck we've lost so much talent on defense...only thing that was going to slow us down. Injuries ..i know other teams have them but we've lost starters and depth for the starters we are down to practice squads now its rough but we still got it
You see why you don't trade all your picks for a star. You need depth and 6th 7th 5th 4th round picks can be that.
That’s why Brad isn’t mortgaging the future. We keeping that 1st round pick we have in our pocket
It seems like it’s a new defense every week 😂
I know this might sound crazy but what about bringing in Jerry Jacob for db depth 🤷🏽♂️
Lions are injured at wrong time. I hope they get some guys back asap
Rodrigo and Barnes are out for the season, they are definitely not coming back.
Cant even say next man up cause they’re even injured lol
I know Dan is trying to stay strong but the next man up mentality is only good when you have another player available but problem is we’re running out of defensive players 😂
We just need toblimp by until the guys get healthy again
How close is Broderick Martin to returning and does he usually play DT or DE?
Hate all these injuries
better to poach players off other practice squads than free agents not with anyone. practice squad players are in game shape. Guys off the street may be in good shape but maybe not in game shape from being away from it for some time.
Factsss
I've heard of him. If he can be coached up he should be fine.
Given the injury rate in this sport, I'm surprised that the rosters aren't larger. Here we are grabbing guys off other PS, and they only have a week to learn the team's schemes.

Only bad move is no move
What’s your 41 dashDerek?
How about Broderick Martin? Is he ever gonna be called up?
I want to see more of Muhammad he looked good
Find a Vildor replacement I’m begging
Good corners aren't on the couch or on a team's practice squad lmaooo gotta deal with it
@ where do you think we got vildor from?
Is there a problem with the Lions' conditioning program?
People don't want to admit that blowing that lead to san fran last year and having the best record this year but with the whole starting d being out for the season are just a continuation of the curse from a different,even more heartbreaking angle. The conditioning is pretty much the same for every team. These guys are elite athletes and train hard
The lions just played with 3 days rest. EVERY player in the NFL after 12 weeks has aches and pains. This is not tennis.
Dont forget Anzalone.
Get Ginda
Alex Anzalone
Can we get a CB. I like Vildor but he has been missing a step the last 2 weeks
Get the Canadian Betts
Not buns!Lol
We lost all our starting LB’s 4
As weird as this sounds, next year, with all these additions WITH rehabilitated players (zadarius WITH Hutch etc) we'll have a better team next year than now, unbelievable. ( ps, the chiefs STINK)
Whats Sue doing these days ? Lol
Bring Back the Big Baller Betts
Bums
Bums!? With all the injuries piling up what do you suggest they do you're not getting All Pros from other teams they need help
Bring in fat and out of shape N. Suh, bring in somebody!! We are dying on defense
If you can fair catch I will put you in there. Just don’t run.
JPP...
hes 40 and washed up
Call JJ Watts
@@LION-q7g1c They did, he said,no.
@ well keep bugging him lol
Anzalone??? Rodriguez and Hutch out for the season
Both Alex and Hutch will be back during the playoffs. Both will be playing in the Superbowl win.
@@izenguarr5236why you think hutch will be bk
@@izenguarr5236 Hmm... wouldn't want to endanger their careers going forward. This isn't the only year the Lions will be competing for a SB.
