Why is Tiki and TO flabbergasted?

Is this normal, just bring in a bunch of guys and hope someone sticks?

prob because all these other scrubs are getting looks but not either of them.

but then again those guys are known lockerroom cancers

I'm surprised why they'd bring a P in or even WR's. They seem set there. Unless maybe for special teams.

Maybe it's one of those things where you audition some guys now in case something happens down the road???

I know if K Smith is brought back, some might have a coronary.

Actually Donahue hasn't been very solid this season...he is 27th in the league w/ an average of 42 yds per punt.

He has also had several really low punts which put a TON of pressure on the covering team to get down the field fast.

I am not surprised that they brough in a punter...even if they weren't seriously considering signing him, it should at the very least send a message to Donahue that he needs to step his game up.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I agree with that somewhat. There have been a couple games where he was straight down awful. Rookie jitters maybe.

Does Leonard Davis have anything left in the tank?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I just noticed they're bringing in a QB. Maybe Stanton's on notice.

There is nothing to read into this. Its a bye week and they are updating their short list of players they will look at if someone gets injured. Teams do it all the time.

Shhhh

Let people think they're doing a complete overhaul of a 6-2 team mid-season.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Obvious they're not doing a complete overhaul but I think there's more to it than that.

I don't think anyone believes that at all.

I'm disappointed in you, I thought you've been on the Lions board longer.

Haha my bad

And now it's being reported that TO has a warrant out against him for missing a child support court date.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice.
