Holy crap. No preseason and guys are still really banged up.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice to see A bunch of Quinn’s Draft picks may not play. Weird how that happens when you draft guys who were injured in college.

Which of the injured players had injury history in college?

 

[brewer229]

Time to see how we can run the ball. Limited practice, no preseason, running should be ours, and any teams, plan week 1.

 

[biggunsbob]

Which of the injured players had injury history in college?

Swift had groin and shoulder issues in college. Johnson has a history of problems. Didn’t okwara had a fractured tibia at ND that caused him to miss the season.
I’m sure three are others. We just seem snake bit at running back. Hopefully Swift can stay healthy. When picking a running back I would always error on the guy that had zero issues in college. Past regime drafted Best when we knew he had concussions issues. I’m just worried. The Lions top 2 picks appear to be on the injured or unable to perform list. Hopefully we can get them healthy and they can stay healthy. Again I’m just worried S.

Where did you hear that? Swift played 14 games his sophomore/junior seasons and 15 games his freshmen year. That doesn't sound like injury problems to me.

Didn?t okwara had a fractured tibia at ND that caused him to miss the season.

Yes. But I fail to see what that has to do with his current knee issue. He's already riding a bike. Sounds precautinary. Imagine never drafting a player because they broke a bone in college.

I?m sure three are others. Again I?m just worried S.

After checking the first two you listed, I'm not so sure. Maybe there are, maybe there aren't. I get that you're worried, but that doesn't justify calling Quinn out for drafting too many injured players. If you'd have said he drafts sub par players, then I'd agree.

 

[SpartyNash]

3rd and 9 and you attempt for a yard?

 

[JScottWriter]

Glad they improved that running game.

 

[thehippo73]

Very predictable so far.

 

[thehippo73]

If Tru isn't picks us apart, Patricia needs to be fired at halftime

 

[thehippo73]

The fake fan noise is annoyingly consistent

Ok you are right he drafts subpar players lol.

 

[mhughes0021]

Pass 3 yards behind the wr and trufant still isn't in position to intercept it lol.

 

[thehippo73]

Nice play Trufant!!!

 

[boogerlovejoy]

AP!

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice hole.. nice pass.. nice tempo.

 

[biggunsbob]

Red zone issues. Is it play calling or what damn it.

Holding come on ref.m

Who does the Lions radio play by play?
