FINALLY got to watch the Lions vs. Bengals game. Went to Baltimore for a buddies wedding this weekend....crazy time.
Just a couple of my thoughts from the game...
1. CJ and Stafford are going to be SCARY this year if they stay healthy. I know that's pretty general knowledge.....but that back shoulder throw showed the timing and accuracy you like to see in your QB and #1 WR.
2. Defense looked really fast. It was only the Bengals and only preseason, but I like the overall team speed......including the backups.
3. Teams are going to run right at Cliff Avril this year, and have a lot of success doing it. Cincinnati destroyed us running to the right. Avril gets swallowed up like semen at a XXX convention and the Lions will have to address that at some point.
4. Aaron Brown needs to make this team. He is probably more elusive than Best is and has decent hands. If he can't learn the playbook or blocking schemes then you have to let him go, but if he knows them AT ALL....he is electric. I'd rather have Brown than Harrison or Bell.
5. Derrick Williams can get open, just cant catch. He seems to have a good burst out of his cuts, but he can't catch crabs from a Vietnamese hooker. He's gone.
6. Stanton looked good.
7. Wish we had Jordan Shipley.....guy just gets open and catches the ball.
8. Wish we didn't have Brandon McDonald. If he has to see ANY kind of significant time on the field this year, we are in trouble.
9. Spivey was all over the field.....wish he would put on 15 lbs though.
We'll see what happens against Cleveland.....but so far an A+.
Go Lions.
