Re: Stephen Williams Brings an Edge to Lions - Lowell Ullrich

I too suspected that WB would not take the politically correct view espoused by some here , and that is good . Some suggested that WB would fine Williams and not "tolerate" his "selfish" act . As we see that is just a bunch hog wash . No doubt the other HC's around the league th...

Re: Stephen Williams Brings an Edge to Lions - Lowell Ullrich

Not surprised that Wally didn't criticize Williams. Khan played it dirty and Williams got caught in the retaliation. On another thread there were some who were critical of Willams penalty and while I prefer the game to be played within the rules, there are rare occasions when things have to be sett...

Re: Pierce's injury?

This is highly speculative but...I wonder if Buck has some unhealed upper body issues - either bone or tissue - and if this is why he is getting re-injured? It is not because he can't take a hit as nothing in his past suggests that he has had any unusual pattern or frequency of injury and everyone h...

Re: A.J. Harris - He Deserves Continued Playing Time

Harris seems to have more power than Mallett. He could be a great short-yardage option, especially in a two-back set. The Lions dressed Bumpus and Gibbs as import backups on Sunday. It would not be hard to create room on the 42-man roster for Mallett and Harris . Ahem....RGM. I am not sold on RGM y...

Re: Steve Williams

I am in the camp that says that a player who gets kicked out especially in football is not playing for his team but for himself. If he settling personal scores even in the heat of the game the player is wrong. The objective of the day is to win the game, not the personal battles. I know as a coach i...

Re: Lion Players Accused of Juvenile Obsenity

Wally treats his players like men. Meaning he doesn't set the hard and fast rules so just assumes these guys get it and won't rekindle this event. I suspect though after the first story he might have had a mention at the walk through or he will if he is even aware of this. What worries me a bit is a...

Re: Lion Players Accused of Juvenile Obsenity

Okay, posted that before reading a more balanced view that characterizes the players positions slightly differently. Wally treats his team like adults and at times it leads to players getting off message a bit and he is fine with that as long as it is not cancerous and spreads to the locker room or ...

Re: Lion Players Accused of Juvenile Obsenity

It appears from Ricky Foley's and Paris Jackson's comments that the incident in their minds is far from over. Not sure if Doug Brown will be on the field with Foley but let's hope Wally has told Paris and anyone else who wants to fight that battle of the chop again to move on and just play. CFL offi...

Re: Getting Ready For The 'Peg

The Lions defence needs a strong offensive performance to help but it seems they like the offence are getting better and at times they have been victimized earlier in the season by the DC's schemes. My "boy hero" - assuming that tighthead means the Lions QB - has been getting better and at...

Re: Globe story: Pierce & Simon answer Buono's call to arms

Describing a professional football player using the term "fragility" is idiotic - especially Buck Pierce. If Sekeres believes this I'd love to see him suit up and let him take his best shot at Pierce in full flight with the ball! It makes me wonder if these guys that write this stuff actua...

Re: 5 Quarterbacks for Thanksgiving ... Lowell Ullrich's blog

I agree that it's still too early to tell what will happen and all we're doing is speculating. I'm not assuming that Casey will be the starter but I'm not basing my views just on what Printers has done or not done in the past. I'm basing it on Wally's comment recently that if Casey played we'd stil...

Re: Braley to buy Argos?

Should have quoted the guy that said Braley wasn't that great an owner, then I lumped in the people that think Wally should go. Basically we have it pretty good now, and it could be scary without Braley as owner. Agreed. As the saying go, be careful what you wish for! Just like with the stadium I u...
