To answer someone's question... Jalen Philpot plays the slot, and Tyson Philpot plays wide-out.

With the 3rd overall pick, the Lions could address O-Line and get a very good prospect; maybe more a development project, but also maybe a guy with the talent to start sooner than later. Still think they should be very interested in drafting one of the Philpot twins with that 1st pick, and then cou...

About the O-Line, (a concern I've expressed, along with many of us here); The subject is briefly addressed by Coach Campbell in his recent 1st & Now video interview with Matt Baker. The gist of Campbell's brief comment is he's excited about our O-line, and the potential flexibility (i.e. possibl...

They say smiling is contagious... I know I'm smiling even wider now than I was a day ago, in anticipation of May/training camp! And Hank's got a lot more to offer our two young pivots than that famous smile of his. Thumbs up!

Drop the "Y" off Woody and we have the Wood Stove twins plugging up the middle. Hopefully they keep the heat on opposing QBs and RBs and we don't have any chimney fires.

OK! You've got me stoked! Burn baby, burn!

Woody Baron is finally official. https://www.bclions.com/2022/02/14/two-d-line-lions-add-woody-baron-ivan-mclennan/ That took a little while! (I was beginning to think Farhan had made a rare mistake in calling that deal.) Interesting side-note on Woody Baron; Back in 2018 he co-authored (along with...

Oh, fully agreed--I'm delighted they have expressed and shown such confidence in Rourke. Indeed the signing of equally inexperienced O'Connor was telling, showing their confidence in Rourke first and foremost, but at the same time showing how they feel about O'Connor as a potential sidekick. It's an...

Nice to see 34 year old veteran QB Matthew Stafford get a Super Bowl victory after 12 years, mostly with the mediocre Detroit Lions. I wouldn't call it a classic "one for the ages" contest between the Rams and the Bengals, but it had its moments. A bit of OT would have been nice to maybe r...

Too early to know particulars of how the QB position will play out in full, as to who's backup to Rourke, and indeed, as has been reasonably suggested (Hambone), perhaps it's no longer that aforementioned 1A & 1B equation, but kinda' interesting to read Warren Moon's take on a Canadian duo nonet...

As the dust of Free Agency settles, a couple of the likely position-combos have me pretty interested, i.e. intrigued to see how it pans out: namely the anticipated Nationals Menard/Betts rotation at one end of the D-line, and the National tandem QBs. I'm really happy for this proposed 1A & 1B ex...

Otherwise ourpick ups in free agency have been very well thought out with lots of upside on a bunch of them still waiting to see if they can land Boateng. If they can and he can play it might open up roster to get another American o lineman Kwaku Boateng's not available, if I'm not mistaken he was ...

Other than 3DownN citing Farhan Lalji's tweet re Lions signing DL Woody Baron I've been unable to find confirmation on that transaction anywhere else. Last time I checked, minutes ago, the BC updated roster does not include Baron's name, however all other new FA signings are listed. Simple oversight...

According to Purifoy himself, he's back with the Leos: https://3downnation.com/2022/02/05/back-where-it-all-began-riders-db-loucheiz-purifoy-announces-commitment-to-b-c-lions/ He's a talented fellow. Gets a little too hot under the collar sometimes though. But he's become a consistent presence in se...

FWIW, I just happened to notice yesterday when I perused the Lions roster that DeVier Posey is no longer listed. I 'm certain it was there till fairly recently. (No indication of a change on the Lions' official "transactions" page however.) Moot point I suppose. Can't see that there's much...
