Remember that Oliver’s cap space for next year is already allocated via the option. Extending him beyond that will probably actually save money on next years cap by turning option money into bonus money.
Yeah they’ve been playing better but I agree. I haven’t seen much of Hutchinson so far this year aside from highlights but I was really impressed with him in college last year.So, I've taken a few minutes to look at the Lions wins.
Basically, the keys are pretty simple:
- Get to Goff
- Don't turn the ball over.
That's really it. In their last 3 wins they've gotten 6 interceptions, including a pick six late vs the Bears in a one score game. Their secondary is really really bad. They have a good d-line....and they are missing one of their top corners. Hutchinson is a stud. But oh boy is their secondary bad. They also struggled mightily against Fields scrambling.
I feel much better about the game now. Hopefully we can get up early and hand a healthy dose of running game in the 2nd half.

We don't talk about this kid that much because he's *only* the kicker, but Bass is making his claim as an elite kicker this year. I hope we can keep him!
Lions are a good team that play hard, Williams leads the nfl in rb TD's so another tough running game test. They will without Okuda at corner.So, I've taken a few minutes to look at the Lions wins.

They've generally been able to move the ball pretty well, even with Goff's limitations, but it looks like both of their starting guards will be out. Hopefully Ed, Phillips, and Jones feast and force Goff to try and make plays out of structure.Lions are a good team that play hard, Williams leads the nfl in rb TD's so another tough running game test.

I can't wait to see Tre out there again. Hopefully it's this week!
Morse questionable is not good.
Yeah. Morse was out for the Miami game and there were several bad snaps from Van Roten or whoever was filling at at center.
I know a lot of people predicted this during the game but still good to see.
“I’ll be at center,” starting right guard Ryan Bates said Tuesday, only if Morse couldn’t play. That would likely mean one of Van Roten or Bobby Hart would be the starting right guard, with Van Roten probably having the edge because of how much they like using Hart as a sixth offensive lineman on some snaps to help the running game. Bates has been playing incredibly well as of late and has more experience at center than Van Roten, both in general and with Allen as the quarterback.
I mean, there was a game winning punt return TD this week. Tough to top that.I'm surprised Bass didn't get AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. I think he accounted for about 50% of the offense himself.
Last minute game winning punt return in a game with zero offense to speak of is hard to compete against.I'm surprised Bass didn't get AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. I think he accounted for about 50% of the offense himself.
I get it. And I'm sure Milano making the AFC Defensive Player of the Week figured into the decision as well.Last minute game winning punt return in a game with zero offense to speak of is hard to compete against.
A punt return to win the game with 5 seconds left in the game is an even more rare occurrence than what Bass did.I get it. And I'm sure Milano making the AFC Defensive Player of the Week figured into the decision as well.
But going a perfect 6/6, matching a franchise record, and accounting for 61% of the team's total production in a win... that's not exactly an every day occurrence in the NFL.
