I think that you are 100% correct. The Lions could easily start Forde on the D line with Menard and Luke as backup/relief guys and then have Iannuzzi become a veteran backup at all receiver positions, something that Wally favours.pennw wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 4:56 pmCould this be because the DE's are more useful on special teams than a fourth receiver ?B.C.FAN wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 2:39 am(He could still be the key to a ratio switch that would allow the Lions to play four international receivers but Wally seems to value his backup American defensive ends more than he values Nick Moore.)
Lions welcome ‘new guy’ Williams
That fixes the 7 starting Nationals issue. However Chris Williams would still need to bump an International player off the roster, likely a D lineman who also contributes on Special Teams. So yeah there is the problem.
