Been a fan since his first TC.

On his return I was very happy he chose the Lions.

Somewhat quiet it seems to me since that time.

Until ... Last game. Huge breakout.

Fast. Mobile. Reacts to the ball. Rangy. Big. Timing of his leaps. Run after catch. Joyful in his play. The DBs looked like little high school kids asked to cover Mervyn Fernandez. LOL

Yes. To me he looked a lot like Mervyn Fernandez.

I do not recall a guy going up for the ball so well, so easily, so dominant over the D, since, well, since Fernandez. The D is struggling to find the ball, to orient themselves, and there is Manny, up in the air, playing catch with the QB, who seemingly just has to chuck it up for Manny to go get. LOL

And no need for comparisons to a Lions icon. Manny is in his own orbit. Way up there. :thup:

He made it look easy.
John Madden's Team Policies: Be on time. Pay attention. Play like hell on game day.

I like the way Arceneaux goes and attacks the ball rather than wait for the ball to come to him. On his 2nd touchdown he went up and catches the ball although he was pretty well covered on the play.

It was time for Manny to take his game to another level...he has been around a while now...he had the experience in MIN, he has a "young" body for his age...I have been expecting games like that from Manny...if he can maintain this, it is really going to help our O, and let the rest of the receivers continue to develop and gain more confidence.

Yep.....since Geroy and ABIII left, the Lions' receivers have been lacking that will to win the contested catch.......Arceneaux has it and hopefully it's infectious.

And CFL preseason fan favourite Adekolu waits his turn in this 'put in the time before real playing time' Lions organization. He seemed to have so desire to win the one on one battles.
