After Monday night’s game against the New York Jets—in which Matthew Stafford had one of the worst games of his entire career—it’s good to take a step back and recalibrate your perspective. Thankfully http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/glover-quin-jersey-authentic , Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes brought that fresh outlook on Tuesday when he penned his top seven players in the NFC North for The Players’ Tribune. Rhodes named two Detroit Lions players on the list, and both of them were players he’s more than familiar with. First, there was Golden Tate (No. 7).“Golden Tate can do it all. He catches everything. He’s a YAC monster. He blocks downfield. He’s the guy on all the Lions’ trick plays,” Rhodes wrote.Then there was Stafford himself, who came in only behind Aaron Rodgers on Rhodes’ list. “He’s the total package, man,” Rhodes wrote. “He’s great at avoiding the rush, he can break long runs and he isn’t afraid to step up in the pocket and take a hit. And he has a cannon for an arm.”Obviously Monday wasn’t Stafford at his best, but the players on the field that know him best respect the man http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/sylvester-williams-jersey-authentic , and there’s definitely something to be said about that. The Athletic’s Chris Burke decided to test the theory if the Detroit Lions were tipping plays with hand signals, and found a play against the Buccaneers that looked awfully similar to the pick-six on Monday night.

The always energetic Chris Spielman helped break down three key plays from Monday night’s blowout: Shawn Windsor of the Detroit Free Press thinks Matt Patricia is in over his head already. Prior to Monday night’s game, the Lions reportedly worked out Don Carey, who was recently released from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Considering the Lions’ special teams performance against the Jets, maybe a signing is coming?First Byte: Previewing Lions-Patriots with Pats Pulpit’s Brian Phillips This week the First Byte podcast reunited with our good friend from Pats Pulpit Brian Phillips (@BPhillips_SB). Brian is a unique resource for Detroit Lions fans, not only because he’s an expert in his field as a Patriots writer, but because he’s living in Michigan and has a pretty good finger on the pulse of local Detroit spots.This week he helped up preview the Week 3 “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots. With both teams coming off a loss Womens Jarrad Davis Jersey , we jump into what’s currently ailing both teams and how each plans on rebounding on Sunday.Listen to this week’s episode below (or if you can’t see it, click here)This week on First Byte:How the hell did Blake Bortles throw for 376 yards and 4 touchdowns on the Patriots?Brian thinks Josh Gordon could be a healthy scratch on Sunday night. If so, who should the Lions be afraid of in the passing game? If not, what will Gordon bring to the table? Three key players are suffering from concussions and are unlikely to play Sunday. Brian, Jeremy and Chris discuss the fallouts of each injury and how the other team may exploit the matchup. Brian thinks Chris Hogan can’t get open against any DBs in the league. Jeremy tells him to just wait and see.The Patriots don’t really have a good running back, but can the Lions stop anyone?Jeremy predicts a shootout and Brian thinks we’re in for a close one. |
