Week 3 is here Womens Jarrad Davis Jersey , which means before you know it, we’ll be a quarter of the ways into the season. That makes me sad. Things are going too fast, and I’m already fearful of the looming offseason, especially since things look dreary for our Detroit Lions.But we don’t have to think about that tonight, because there’s an AFC matchup on “Thursday Night Football” that has nothing to do with the Lions other than the fact that one of the teams wiped the floor with Detroit in Week 1.ARRRGH! STOP IT!Ahem. The New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns face off tonight, and believe it or not, the Cleveland “We Haven’t Won a Game In like 50 tries or something” Browns are favored at home. Considering the Browns are just a few unfortunate plays away from 2-0, it makes sense they’re at least getting some respect from oddsmakers. But can Sam Darnold keep Cleveland’s drought alive? That’s the question tonight. Actually, the question tonight is do you think that storyline is worth staying up an extra couple hours? Don’t worry Youth Ziggy Ansah Jersey , I won’t judge you. Anyways, I’m not here to sway your opinion. I’m here to give you the facts. So if you’re inclined to watch on Thursday night, here’s how to do it. Time: 8:20 p.m. ETLocation: FirstEnergy Stadium—Cleveland, OhioTV: NFL NetworkStreaming: Yahoo SportsOdds: Browns by 3Detroit Lions work out 2 punters, special teams ace Don Carey No unit was a bigger disaster for the Detroit Lions on Monday night than their special teamers. Not only did Matt Prater uncharacteristically miss two field goals, but the punt coverage team was by far the worst in the league. The Lions gave up 44 more punt return yards than any other team in Week 1, and that’s just on three returns. In total, the Lions gave up a 78-yard touchdown and a 43 and 16-yard return.It appears the Lions are considering doing something about it. They’ve already waived one of their gunners from Monday, Bradley Marquez http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/quandre-diggs-jersey-authentic , but they could be adding someone soon. According to MLive’s Nate Atkins, special teams ace Don Carey was visiting the Lions on Wednesday, the second time he was at Allen Park in as many weeks. The Lions let Carey go earlier this offseason, and he was scooped up by the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Carey suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason and was placed on IR. The Jags cut him a week later, making Carey a free agent. Carey could come in and immediately upgrade the Lions’ gunner position. In his seven years with Detroit, Carey was consistently named the team’s special teams MVP by his teammates, and it was a bit curious to see the Lions move on from him this offseason, although Careyis 31 years old. In addition to potentially adding a gunner Womens LeGarrette Blount Jersey , the Lions also spent this week looking at some extra punters:Sam Martin looked fine in his season debut, averaging a solid 50.7 yards per punt. One could argue he outkicked the coverage once or twice against the Jets, but the Lions’ coverage teams take most of the blame from Monday’s meltdown. At this point, there’s no indication the Lions are planning on moving on from Martin. Teams regularly work out players just to keep tabs on them in case of emergency. After all, they gave Martin a four year-extension just two years ago. However, it is curious that they brought back Ryan Santoso, who spent all training camp with the Lions and probably doesn’t require much of a scouting update. We’ll see if the Lions make a move before Week 2’s game against the 49ers. |
