Week 7: The Bungals

[Kreton]

I'm not blaming Houston, but I'm blaming Lions management for signing him and making him the number 1 CB when in reality he is a nickel..

I'd like to know what you think would have been the better option?

 

[Wazmankg]

Its easy to blame the punter there but so much else lost us that game.

True, but the guy has 1 job to do. Usually it's not a difficult job. There's rarely any pressure and it doesn't make much difference 10 yards one way or the other. The one time he's called upon to perform under pressure he fails miserably.

How about committing a 1st rounder on one for once? Maybe the Best pick?

Dee Milliner is a bust so far. Picking a corner number one doesn't make them play well.

 

[Wazmankg]

Bright note. At least your All-Star wide receiver (CJ) has a good QB to get him the ball. Poor Fitzgerald in AZ has had a string of bum QBs to deal with. Carson Palmer is less than worthless.

Who the fuck cares about Arizona ? What does that shit have to do with this game thread ?

Gimme a break. There were 0 CB's drafted after Best that are better than Houston. 0

I never wanted Dee Milliner, but over the years there have been plenty of good CBs selected in the last 1st early second.. Kareem Jackson and Devin McCourty(before the move the safety) come to mind...

 

[Wazmankg]

However, if you want to gripe...check out the records of Central, Western, and Eastern Michigan.

Then go to the Central, Western, and Eastern Michigan boards and cry about it with them. What does any of that shit have to do with this game ?

Since you asked Patrick Robinson and Chris Cook could easily be number 2s if not 1s on the Lions.. Not to mention guys like Daryl Washington, Sean Lee and Gronk.. Dear lord that wasn't the best pick.. Even with Best healthy..

Tigers do what it takes to lose, lions do the same wings do the same.

McCourty is a safety. No way is he an upgrade over Houston at CB. Jackson is a #2 at best. He is not better than Houston. C'mon now. Noone would call them upgrades.

This has to be a joke. I thought you were serious for a bit. Nice one bud, you had me going.

Houston sucks.. Stop overrating him.. He is a nickel corner.. PERIOD

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

So tell me is Houston better than Daryl Washington? An elite OLB? Give me a break...

At corner? Yes. you are bordering on trolling now.

 

[Valion78]

Houston has been burned a lot this year. The D line needs to do their job too. This defense is made to get pressure without blitzing and they have not done it almost at all.

GTFO out of here.. Having a guy who can get home and rack up tackles contributes to a defense WAY more than a Nickel CB masquerading as a feature.. You have NO FUCKING CLUE!!

The D line is inconsistent.. No doubt about it. I think you have a better chance playing roulette than predicting their performance game to game..

I have no clue? You are talking about drafting someone in the first to replace Houston. And you are talking about a LB. A LB. Think about that.
