You can’t fix poor ball tracking skills. If there’s a throw that is not a straight line drive, it becomes dicey with Jamo. Perhaps see an optometrist…

I’m guessing the coaches wish they could.

If Holmes only had the same passion for corners as he has with big slow lineman and linebackers.

I can't solve the Lions' defensive struggles, but from I’ve been watching TV, every politician running for office is the reason the Lions secondary is a hot mess. #OnePride

Defense is a 5 alarm fire. Offense Line is just a burn barrel. Triage not deflect, Campbell. Accountability for coaches.

Campbell accepts Sheppard’s seemingly binary brain of mediocrity.

"The guys on the bench are pissed when we're down and they're not happy," coach Todd McLellan said, "but no one's digging graves” No, the graves were dug well before the season started by anyone with an IQ not being paid by the Red Wings organization. #LGRW

Branch ain’t fixing this thing with the Lions. Relieve Sheppard of his command and bring in some CBs. #OnePride

Spot on analysis. “MSU couldn’t quite handle in pass protection”- perhaps the understatement of the week

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Not his fault. The OL offers less protection than 5 actual turnstiles would. But the hits/rush is clearly taking a toll on Milivojevic. I would transfer for health reasons. It’s not safe for him or any QB behind that line.
010
Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I don’t blame the players or Fitz. But man this team is an embarrassment. Milivojevic is already shell shocked by getting hit 5 games into the season.

Without a better interior pass rush I don’t think any secondary can hold up. The complicated disguise blitzing just means confusion and mistakes when you can’t keep the same players on the field. Which they knew without Branch and Joseph. Poorly thought out plan.

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Lions Summary: -Really liked Petzig play calling & design. -Gibbs’s workload and Vaki’s usage great -Interior pass rush isn’t getting it done -I don’t blame the CB & S as players doing their best -I blame the coaches who put them in positions to fail -Sheppard doesn’t have any answers #OnePride

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
How could they leave Wilson in single coverage there is just wishful thinking on Sheppard’s part.
000
Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Why does Sheppard and Campbell thinking macho talk and hope will make their secondary play well. Leaving Wilson singled covered on the biggest play of the game screams incompetence. #OnePride

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
That was a pass rush failure. Not coverage. Tip of the cap to Smith.

Another year with a really bad OL at Michigan State… #Spartans

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Why stop there. How about signing Darious Slay, Quandre Diggs and TJ Lang.

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Spartan Summary: -OL is significantly better than the last few years. It’s still not good. -Defensive Line held up well for their ability. Better than expected. -Hall is a legitimate stud. -Need some bigger WRs -Actually a good performance for the team and Fitz. #msu #spartans

Not quite ready for primetime Spartans.

That commitment to no spy on a super mobile willing to run QB is a choice…

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Do the Spartans have enough beef on the defensive line now that they’re out of MAC teams on their schedule? It could be getting ugly real soon.

Lions Summary: -Offense was garbage. Simplistic play calling/designs. -If only Jamo had better hands and ball tracking skills. -Miller and Scruggs weren’t noticed. Good. -Secondary was garbage. -New pass rush, meet the old pass rush. #OnePride

Maybe the Lions will realize this isn’t a preseason game. Mainly talking about Campbell and Petzing.

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Not sure why the Lions are prioritizing given LaPorta an extension. His impact just isn’t there enough in the games he does play. Let alone all the games he’s hurt. #OnePride

Stay classy Aaron Rodgers. As someone who knows about toxic dysfunction and personalities that are the main culprit, there is no way you’re not the most toxic in any relationship you’re in.

Hard to say which program between University of Michigan or LSU is hated and least respected more. Kiffin got a late start but has made up quite a bit of ground in a short time.

Michigan State 1st half summary: Good: Milivojevic is gone to be a very good Liam Boyd for Heisman Defense looks good Bad: Brantley playing Spartan football via 2023 OL iffy pass blocking Can’t get it in the endzone #Spartans #GoGreen

Dave Wigton @davewigton.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
4 1/2 starts into Milivojevic QB career, I’m calling it. Best QB Michigan State has had since Cook. Better than Hoyer and if he gets more talent around him, look out. #Spartans

Welcome back Brantley! 3rd down penalty and gives up a bomb. Seems like old times.

It might smell of desperation, but it might be a pitch to get Rodgers to play another year.

Do the Lions have any plan if Decker retires or adding speed and pass rush ability in the front seven? Or what injured prone players Holmes will resign and draft?

Chambliss is a late round draft pick at best. Too short.

He wasn’t ready. Moore has to work on his pocket presence and read progressions. If he doesn’t, he’ll get eaten alive.
