    Well, they dont need McCaffrey till playoff time.  I’d be surprised if they use him at all prior to game  10 or so.

    Not a fan of the liberal-comedy-sphere, but I didnt watch the debate, so I wondered how it went.   Watched some of this vid and got a libs’ sense of it.

    I only saw the 15 minute highlights on youtube, so, I dunno much.

    Looked like the DLine got handled by the Lion Oline.   Did it?

    Injuries.  Sigh.

    I think the Lions are a top-3 team.   Up there with the 49ers and Chiefs.    Rams have a chance to be a very good team.

    But of course, injuries could derail everything.   Duh.

    Lions injury report

    ==

    Week 1 injury report: Jahmyr Gibbs returns in full, just 3 Lions dealing with injuries

    https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2024/9/4/24235046/week-1-injury-report-jahmyr-gibbs-returns-in-full-just-3-lions-dealing-with-injuries
    <p id=”poV8cF”>Let’s take a look at the Lions’ first injury report of the 2024 season.</p>

    Injured reserve, Non-Football injury list

    • G Christian Mahogany (Illness, mono) — NFI list, eligible to return in Week 5
    • DT Brodric Martin (knee) — injured reserve, eligible to return in Week 5
    • DL John Cominsky (MCL) — injured reserve, eligible to return in Week 5
    • CB Emmanuel Moseley (pec) — injured reserve, eligible to return in Week 5

    Estimated no practice

    • S Loren Strickland (thumb)

    <p id=”GR8FG4″>Not much is known about Strickland’s injury at this time beyond the fact that he was also not practicing on Tuesday. Hopefully, we will learn more later this week when coach Dan Campbell speaks with the media on Friday.</p>

    Estimated limited practice

    <p id=”EkIhQl”>Reader has been projected to return to game action in Week 2 for a few weeks now, but on Wednesday, Campbell indicated there may be a chance the Lions prized free agent is ready to play this week.</p>
    <p id=”edt62N”>“So, yes, there’s still a chance,” Campbell said of Reader possibly playing this week. I’ll know more probably after tomorrow than I do right now. He’s doing well. He’s doing well.”</p>
    <p id=”LAvz0x”>Reader is not out of the woods yet but there are encouraging signs.</p>

    Brady is now an analyst.   But he’s also applied to be a part-Owner.    There’s a conflict.  NFL now sez he cant talk to players, coaches, etc, as an analyst.   And, he’s not allowed to criticize Refs.    Weird situation for a tv analyst.

    ..QB.. but WS just has more physical gifts than KW did. More experience too…as a Rams qb anyway, not counting Arizona.

    …PREDICTION: They will set the league on fire like a meat product of some kind in a large conflagration. You know, like a ribeye in the Chernobyl meltdown. 2025 draft: CB, ILB, OT.

     

    I dunno.   I was hoping they would start MS instead of WS.    But what do i know.

    Prediction:    I’m worried.   I’m always worried.  Its an RFL thing.

    . As of 8/27, there has been nothing to suggest Jones is an asshole, or that the Rams are doing a John Shaw thing.

     

    Dont be bringing up John Shaw.

    OK?

    Cuz I will raise your John Shaw with Jay Zygmunt.   I dont wanna go there, but i will.

    …Signing Williams is going to cost some other guys on the roster, though (next year). Bottom line is that the window is closing on this group, and a rebuild around Purdy is on the way. And they have a shaky OL heading into this season. For those of you who don’t know much about football, shaky OLs are not helpful.

    Yeah, they will be good as long as Lynch and Shan are running things, one would think, but their ‘elite’ status should end after this year.

    I just hope they jump out of this years window, gracefully.

    Like maybe blowing a 21 point lead in the playoffs to the Rams.   Ya know.

    Shannahan 50-1 against McV in the regular season

    0-2 in the Playoffs.    I could live with that.

    Short Noam vid from six years ago.   In the last couple minutes he talks about the ‘real threat’ of Iran getting a nuclear weapon.   The real threat (in the eyes of many Israelis) is — Emigration.   If the region feels too dangerous, wealthy zionists will simply leave Israel.

    Now, i just saw a vid that said half a million Jewish people have already left Israel and a million more are expected to leave.

    btw, the second half of that Nader vid is worth visiting.   I know everyone has heard of how the anti-war donahue show got cancelled by MSNBC, but they have the producer of the show on and he gives some details I hadnt heard.   He compares what happened to the McCarthy era.

    I didn’t see a lot of his show(s), but he seems to me to be around the “end-of-the-line” of independent journalists, or the end of “honest” journalism. Seems to me that there is nobody in journalism in the past 20+ years who isn’t very clear that they play a role, and they know which side of the bread is buttered.

    I have never heard Nader speak this glowingly about anyone.  He just goes on and on and on about Phil

    Sigh.  To lose Donald and Ernest Jones.   I dunno.

    Could be a good year, barring injury.   Maybe even challenge for the division.  But this does not seem like a Super Bowl year, does it.

    Defense in the ring year had, what?, Aaron Donald, Von Miller, Jalen Ramsey…

    This year….?

    Stetson Bennett is not an NFL QB.

    I would take Tim Tebow and Jesus over Stetson.

    From the vid — …with all the talent, (Kittle, Purdy, Shannahan, Deebo, Aiyuk, etc) the 49ers had, they went 0 and 3 without Trent Williams.  12 and 2 with him.  With him they scored 32 points a game.  Without him 17 points a game.

    Both Kimes and her guest agreed Williams had a serious claim to being the NFL MVP.

    According to the Mina Kimes vid, (at the 49 minute mark) the Cardinals running game (in the second half of the season) was “first in EPA per play, running the ball, more than twice as efficient as the 49ers”

    Now.  Someone explain wtf ‘epa’ means in regard to the running game.

     

    Also, after watching the vid, I am a little worried that the Seahawks have hired themselves a shannhan-type genius.  Only on defense.

     

    Interesting division.

    aaron donald. much more valuable. especially in today’s game. i’d take him over any other position other than qb.

    I see I have ferreted-out a couple of Donald-Sniffers.  Donald-ites.

    Aaron Donald was a figurehead.

    Seriously, I’m surprised you and zn are so decisive about this.  I could go either way.

    I’ve seen enough of Mr Bennett. If I’m a defensive coordinator, I LOVE facing Stetson. They can do better. w v

    It’s simply a matter of coaching. They just sit him down and say okay Stetson, stop throwing interceptions…fair enough big guy? Voila. Problem solved. You’ve never really learned how to appreciate coaching.

    Has McVay ever ‘developed’ a rookie QB ?   I guess he constructed Goff, but he also deconstructed Goff.

    Maybe its just hard to find good rookie QB projects in the lower rounds.   They seem to do pretty well with the other positions.
