I'd say it worth making a phone call and buying him a airline ticket.

I'd take that guy over any one of these.

Trevon Coley

Brian Price

Carl Davis

Devaroe Lawrence

Daniel Ekuale

That guy looks a lot like the guy we THOUGHT we were getting with Shelton. I'm in.

PFF gave him a pass rush grade of 78.5 in 2018.

Oh, please get Daniels in here. That’s a huge upgrade to our interior. Adding him may be even better than getting McCoy IMO

I don't know what that means.
Is that a good rating or a bad rating?

What was his rating vs the run?
And a comment on if that was good or bad would be appreciated

That’s above average IIRC ... anything nearing 80 is “good”

"what we consider ‘starter’ level play, finishing in the 71.9 – 76.1 range."

^71.3 this for Daniels overall play.

For some reference:

Larry Oganjobi overall grade in 2018 was 64.0

--NDAMUKONG SUH had a PFF pass rush grade of just 67.0 in 2018.

Let's see .... Ogunjobi had 52 total tackles, with 33 solo, 5.5 sacks, 1 FF, and 7 "stuffs". He also played at the end of the season with a torn biceps.

Below average grade of 64 my butt.

It seems like Ogunjobi flashes big plays but is somewhat inconsistent on an overall basis.

J/C I would urge all to go to PFF and do some reading. There is a raging debate on another thread about the use of analytics. PFF has some good information and does a good job of explaining the process.

I am not saying analytics is the be all, end all, but it is in the game of football fairly late compared to other sports. At least the deep look. Forty time are analytics. How much a player can lift is as well. It's interesting how deep it can get.

I think much of the fear or resistance is due to lack of knowledge or understanding of how it can help in the evaluation process.

As the sig says, if everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

Don't Knock Trevon Coley.

Trevon Coley is impressive!

Ogunjobi seemed to tail off a bit. I remember him being kinda eye opening the first few weeks, then tapered (injury related perhaps)

Personally I don't agree with all of their theories as to what constitutes a starter.

I am just the messenger.

But I do think that his injury was a factor in his body of work.

I kinda forgot he was even injured, which would make sense if so

Bingo!

There is no analytics in Bingo.

Bingo?

If Lil Mary, is a spend thrift and plays two cards, and is a novice having a difficult time finding numbers to dob/dab because she's not sure what part of the card they are on,
Then she only has X chance of getting bingo, or finding it if she does, before another number is called and potential others would cause her to have to Share.


Whereas, IF Marge can play 10 cards, and bullies her little sister/ nearby neighbor Sandy into Watching another 4 cards, (of her 8), which Marge bought,

and they are both regular playrs, Then Marge has 14 chances to 2, a greater chance than X of getting a bingo per each number called,

Or Actually, if I correct myself ... not a greater chance, but
more attempts at the same odds per card, but Annaliticly A more powerful player and likely to be talking to the Head Bingo Checker, more often during the night.
( " There's no crying in Baseball " )

I rest my case.

It seems a bit odd that we are working out RBs.

Yeah, unless we’re looking to limit Chubb a lot once the preseason games begin

We might need extra legs if Hunt is not back soon.

I don't think so.

Duke has made it clear he wants out of town. Camp is where guys get hurt all the time.

We might get a offer for Duke at any moment. We need to be prepared.

add that to Chubb’s workload being diminished by the halfway point of camp IMO

Doesn't look like the tweet is showing up.....well, Theo Riddick was just released.

IF were looking to trade Duke this SUCKS!!!

THEO RIDDICK
RB, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

The Lions released pass-catching RB Theo Riddick on Saturday.

The move had been hinted at by beat writers such as Chris Burke, so the only surprise might be the timing since we are so early in training camp. Riddick is one of the more focused receiving backs in the league, catching 281 passes over the last five seasons compared to 268 carries in the same span. That included 74 targets and 61 receptions in 2018, most of which occurred while the Lions were in shotgun. The Detroit Free Press recently predicted second-year back Kerryon Johnson to catch 60 passes in 2019. That seems far more achievable now, and would vault Johnson into one of the more interesting picks at his current ADP of RB19. For Riddick, teams interested in Duke Johnson could look the former Lion's way as his cost would not include a draft pick.

Chubb and another RB are on the PUP list. We need to look at an additional RB or 2 as camp bodies until they return.

Riddick is a solid receiving RB ... looks like he’s the casualty of signing Daniels perhaps

And I don't think this will be the only situation like this that will be forthcoming. A lot of fans seem to think that you can just get a decent return on a situational RB. The problem is there are a lot of them.

As such teams can usually find that skill set on the cheap without giving up future draft picks to do so.
