Lions started on O with both Mackie and Hardie, then the FB left and now it's less effective as the FB mackie is on the sidelines.
It's like OK check this off our list and don't use it again. The Lions 5 OL need help

There won't be any speed sacrificed with Hardy (vs. Mizzell). He ran a 4.56 40 on his pro day; Mizzell ran a 4.55 on his. (This of course is straight-line speed and doesn’t really reflect twitchiness.) In addition, Hardy did a little better than Mizzell in the agility drills--the 3-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle. I don’t know whether these measurables will translate into improved rushing performance, but you’d have to think that his 40-lb. advantage over Mizzell should pay dividends. We’ll hope for a stronger run game….almo89 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 1:53 pmReally intrigued on how Hardy will be. I've always preferred bigger backs even if speed is sacrificed. Millington and Smith were a couple of my favourites. Since the Lions offense is heavily revolved around the passing as attack, I'm really interested to see if Hardy can pick up blitzes and block well. Smoke has had problems blocking all year. Too many times the opposing defense blitzes and he has no idea who to block and ends up in no man's land.
