Only two running backs for Lions game

first to repost:

That's 2 third rounders in their 2nd year not getting playing time again, y'all.

Who does this?

Coaches interested in putting their best 45 on the sidelines. I actually like this approach.

You can't have it both ways--clamor for more players like Zo and AA and complain when they deactivate or cut high draft picks like DT or Barnes. (not accusing you, Moe)

That said, I'm not sure how Buchanon is still activated over Barnes. I guess MS sees them every day, but Philip has been a liability in the red zone.

2nd to repost..

Kevin Barnes, 3rd rounder

Jeremy Jarmon, 3rd rounder

That's 2 third rounders in their 2nd year not getting playing time again

Moe-

Jarmon has played but I'm not convinced his knee is even 90%.

Barnes has size (6'1) and is a decent tackler, I'm shocked he can't beat out Buchanan for playing time.

And of all days he should have been on the field to see his old buddy J. Best.

Buchanan should have been gone yesterday. He is fast with good hands but he is straight up a wimp. I saw him pull up several times as a corner in Houston rather than deliver the blow. I don't think KB has that problem.

"dumby"?

let's move on.

i was merely suggesting that "mentally unable to process information" was a redundant phrase since "mentally" is the only way humans naturally process information. i should have known it would sail right over your underpowered brain.

stick to football, bragdon (even though you nothing about it).

he....he....he!!! is laughing this hard good for a person?

-kthxbye

you're not even laughing. you're giggling like a little girl. who says hehehe? only 10peterbilt.

I'm saying we gel and break the 40 barrier today, who's with me?!

We'd better, Lions averaging 38 at home this year.

damn. that's a lot of points! today would be the right day to explode on offense..like McNabb keeps saying will happen.

The Torain Train cannot fumble today.

Kevin Barnes and Jeremy Jarmon were not drafted by Shanahan.

Why is it embarrassing to him to put them on the inactive list?

He's going to put the best 45 players out there on Sunday.

These guys are not among that group currently.

Barnes has no NFL experience and can't beat out Westbrook for the last spot at CB on the active list because he doesn't play special teams.

Jarmon is a 4-3 DE that Shanahan and the staff now have losing 20 pounds after bulking up to play in the 3-4 but finding him ineffective at 285-290.

Both players may be in the team's future but they need work.

RH this is the conundrum: can't get experience if they can't get on the field. That's the kind of work most 3rd round picks get.

Both players (Jarmon/Barnes) may be in the team's future but they need work.

My point is not that the players aren't worthy, but that the team has been hampered by having so many of it's not picks contributing.

LL, CR22-- 1st rounders, mind you--are putting game time.

But we do have a number of top picks who've been sent packing or not playing.

Our top picks at q-back, 2 wide receivers, a corner, and de aren't contributing, plain and simple.

There is no formula of success there,my friends.

That's my point.

It's ok to have only 2 Running backs active, but they need to give some running plays to Williams, last week he had only one carry.

The bad news is we need to run heavy in this game. Maybe its time to give Big Mike a hand off or five.

lichensteiger was drafted by chairman mao shanahan is he any good? this guy only plays bums that he likes and with his favorite player strategy he has sub standard players starting that can't catch a cold or block period, all you have to do is watch the games and see linemen getting blown off the line of scrimmage regularly wr's catching 3-5 passes in 7 games etc. as for barnes any one can see that buchannon is not solid at his position we may never see k. barnes. the old klansman will make up some kind of idiotic excuse about him not practicing hard or he spends too much time in salons.

(even though you nothing about it).

Do you see what you wrote man?

Just stop. Save yourself.

HERE WE GO.

Wow....great start McNabb you BUM

UFB start.

Rabach on both plays.

Steps on McNabbs foot and then allows pressure up the middle.

McNabb on the turf all 3 plays and we're not good enough to overcome negative plays.

A rather auspicious start

Well, that was the worst opening series I have ever seen.

Rabach seems to be getting worse as the season progresses. They HAVE to be looking to replace him.

Campbell > McNabb

O/U on PA bootlegs on this drive is 2.5

one step forward, 2 steps back. The O better get their sh-it together

How did we start out on the 10 yard line?

nothing like McNabb and Rabach working in 'step'

I'd forgotten how bad Sam Rosen is. It's like he's watching a different game 40% of the time.

ARE WE PLAYING THE RAMS?!?!?!?!

McNabb is such a loser

Sheesh. the Texas Two-Step Tuble. Twice.

"How did we start out on the 10 yard line?"

10 yard penalty from the 20.

Holdin by blades.

Rabach needs to get benched

Sheesh. The Texas Two-Step Tumble. Twice.

The lions de line is 'beasting' ours, plain and simple.

Obviously, Alan4. Didn't catch what the penalty was.

WTF!

We can't even stop a 3 man rush.

Rabach has found a new way to F' up.

Only 1 bootleg on that drive, would have been more if not for Rabach.

Good grief, how is the offense getting worse as the season progresses?

Scamp

This game just signed us two top ten lineman in next yrs draft

Two drives shown what we have been talking bout all week

um.......

Time to start throwing from shot gun. only way to keep Rabach out of trouble.

DHall!

D HALL!

O-line, O-line, O-line.

I was worried when I saw the inury report included Lichenwhatever, Hayer, Brown, and Rabach. They all kind of suck already (except possibly Brown), so I knew it could get pretty ugly if they're all fighting inuries.

#6 for Hall!

Quick-kick on 1st. Only way to reverse the field.

WHY DO YOU TEST DEANGELO...WHY

Dhall league leading interceptor.

He may make the pro bowl

D HALL.

Awesome.

DHALLLLL!!!!!! Our #1 playmaker!!!!!

d-hall!

I'm sure you mean all season.

This line is horrible.

The lions de line is 'beasting' ours, plain and simple.

Oh yes....McNabb the bum strikes again

I'm going to be blunt.

THIS OFFENSE SUCKS.

5 turnovers last week in the 2nd half, offense did nothing with them. One turnover today, offense does nothing with it.

McNabb aint the problem this time. We need Dockery back in there for better pass blocking.

D Coordinators attack our interior and they continue to not block anyone.

Oh yes....McNabb the bum strikes again

Dude, STFU. How's he even supposed to get the ball off when the O line isn't blocking?!

Only getting the stream here, so also have the Dallas/Jax game on here. I will say Dez Bryant is the real deal.

And now Kitna was just picked off. Cowbs already down 7-3. Ha.

Lol ya camp my bad

I'm sure we will all be well knowledged on lineman prospects lol

Did we even get an inactive list on this here blog today?

Oh yes....McNabb the bum strikes again

Cb round 5

Get 31 off the field..

Beepers.

Rak and the D getting the job done.

The D will need to score again today.

Relax people.

Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong and they can't take advantage of the breaks that they are getting....

We win this game easy!!!

McNabb aint the problem this time. We need Dockery back in there for better pass blocking. Also Lions are playing dirty in the trenches right now.. For those who can't tell, lots of holds, VandenBosch is driving McNabb into the ground well after the pass.

How about QB making the read and knowing where his checkdown pass is....except oh yeah right...McNabb is too dumb to recognize the hot read and keeps throwing the ball right into the turf

HAYNESWORTH!

Fat Albert making a play.

Hopefully Rak's ankle is OK. They'll need him.

Sheesh. What is with these PI's on both sides.

This offense is regressing.

NEW POST. Beeps

Great specials teams is moving the ball back on returns....

Now we will see McNabb turn the ball over probably the way things are going

Block in the back against sellers..... hold further up the field

Maybe Kyle isn't so scary good after all......

PLEASE PUT DERRICK DOCKERY BACK ON THE O-LINE!

PLEASE GET KYLE SHANNY SOME MORE O-COORD LESSONS. WITH LEAD IN 4TH QUARTER YOU RUN THE BALL AND PLAY DEFENSE.

PLEASE GIVE MCBADD AN ACCURATE ARM AND ACTIVE LEGS!

PLEASE BRING GREG BLATCHE BACK!

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THE FREAKIN LIONS??
