I'm still hurting from that last Lions' loss...ouch, what a disaster! I want to be optimistic about tomorrow's game, but so many key players didn't practice yesterday you have to be the Lions are the pick here.

ESPN talking a lot about AP yesterday...should begin running this week, maybe back in 2-3 weeks.

I think we win this one. We played our worst the last time and were still in it. If we get one touchdown from the defense or special teams we win.

I'm just checking in now I was busy most of the weekend and went on media silence since I got behind on Wolves games.

Anyway I only saw most of the first half and then saw the bitter end. Any thoughts? I heard Easton looked solid. Bleed how did your guy Beavers do?

I didn't watch because I would have needed to sit next to my brother inlaw and listen to him.

I am assuming Beavers dominated, but on the 8 snaps he played he rated 44. He is rated the third best tackle for us this year behind Long and Sirles.

Thanks for the info. Now if he would just play DT and be a run stuffer and get a couple sack you would be even more happy right? I think he can do it.

Not sure if Beavers can do that. Clemmings would certainly be able to do that. The guy is unblockable when he wants to be. We see those flashes when he is blocking LT and he forgets what side of the ball he is on and just blows right past the DE like he is a blocking dummy. He would be a monster as a DT.

Good analysis. I think he could also be the big strong PF the Wolves lack.
