Tougher defensive minutes is still in line with CountMC's original statement.
EDIT: Rather than respond in kind, let me try to explain myself better. It seems CountMC's point is pretty clearly not that he thinks Petry will replace Seider as #1. You may be arguing that "if it walks like a duck..." which is an angle I can understand.
But instead of raising that issue and having a discussion about it, you popped in to misrepresent the spirit of Count's post and take a dump on the whole thread.
How is that helpful or productive?
To me, saying, "He wouldn't take over the #1 spot," and "He would have the most minutes on the team (or at least tied with Seider) and have the toughest matchups" are directly contradictory. So while we can discuss the "spirit" of his posts, the spirit to me is muddled. And what I'm responding to is the post that included the latter sentiment. It's the idea that Petry is going to come in and eat into some of Seider's role and be a #1, a quasi-#1, a #1B, whatever, because..... Petry is
that good?
Now, I can see someone making the argument that Seider was pressed into more action than he should have been last season because of how bad our D is, but I disagree with that. I think Seider was given exactly what he could handle, is a special talent, and is not going to be relinquishing any of his role, to Jeff Petry nor anyone else. He's our clear-cut #1, in nearly every facet of the game. It's going to take someone much better than Petry to diminish Seider's role, even slightly.
As for the thread, well, leave it to this board to take a player who's game I otherwise like and wouldn't mind seeing in Detroit, in a vacuum, and making me annoyed by him lol. Guess that's not helpful, but how many posts around here are actually helpful to anyone? Ridiculous content gets posted here in a "nice" way all the time.
I'll chalk this one up to people being bored in the off-season, and drilling down so far on Jeff freaking Petry that they lose sight of the forest from the trees.
