He’s one of my favorites especially how he played the last 6-7 games last year. Unfortunately, being unavailable is something that has plagued him his entire tenure here. Hope he gets back quickly to play out the last 4 games of the season. I don’t think it will happen though
We are so lucky to have Long get passed up by 31 other teams....how did this guy not get picked up before we got our chance to grab him? Seems like being good will.also improve your luck....and being good and lucky are a dynamite combination.🧨🎆
Bro played like 800 snaps and was one of their best players last year. There was people wanting us to trade for him last year. He played over 700 his last year in Tennessee too. Hes played full years.
I don’t mind any signings at this point. obviously we needed more bodies due to injury but until he gets elevated and produces he just fills a role until energizer gets back.
Outta the blue question. Since now that we have Z Man opposite side of Hutch next year. What do you think will happen to John Cominski. Would they make him a backup or with the trade him?
His contracts over after this season. He'll be an unrestricted free agent. I see no reason in resigning him. Last season, he had the most snaps opposite of Hutch, and only finished with 2 sacks. I don't wanna hear that he's good against the run. We don't need a DE to stop the run. Any other DE on our team that would have had 2 sacks in 1 year and be injured the 2nd, would you want to resign him? I'd rather bring Mosley up than Cominski.
Is this bad news for Broderic? As far as I know he only has till Wednesday to be activated. While iffy and Moseley have an extra week left in their 21 day window. Iffy being activated before Broderic is a little confusing to me. But then again there could be a perfect explanation. Just my initial reaction
That's what they've been playing for the last few years. I know in the beginning of some games, where the starters introduce themselves, they do have it listed as 4-3-4 but we don't have or use a Sam LB but we do use a nickel/slot corner. You don't see them listed as starting LB'S as Anzalone, Barnes, and Campbell. Same as last season when instead of keeping a 3rd linebacker, we put an extra DB on the field. So last year it would have been Anzalone & Barnes starting at linebacker, Sutton and Jacob's/Vildor at outside CB, Brian Branch at slot/nickel CB. with Iffy and Kerby as the 2 starting safeties.
@ true only reason i said they gone have to stick with it is because iffy coming back and he is very good helping run support and but i like amik to he been stepping up at the slot position but preciate it letting me know
@@TyroneC46 When Iffy comes back that gives us more leverage to use Branch, who has been playing great at Safety this year.Last year he was great at slot/nickel CB. I could see situations where we'd play with 2 outside corners and 3 safeties. I want Kerby, Branch and iffy to be out there as much as possible. All 3 are game changers. We got 3 players from our 1st draft that we have to resign or they'll be free agents. Levi, Barnes and iffy. I'm not sure on Levi I mean Levi didn't really do anything for his first 3 years because of unfixable back issue and has been playing DE pretty much the whole season. I was always good with bringing back iffy and Barnes as long as they're both healthy and affordable. . All 3 have been given 4 years to show us what they can do. Would you re'sign those 3? Technically all 3 are backups.
@ i would resign iffy and barnes but im getting another pass rusher what you think about james houston would you want somebody new or keep him in the team next year
From Dan Campbells mouth today, “He’s not going to be ready for a while” The lions had to activate him off of IR. After a designation to return, players have a 21 day window to be reactivated. If they’re not activated in that time frame they have to stay on IR for the rest of the season
Adding Long will help keep Ezekiel Turner fresh on special teams. With Reeves-Maybin out for the next few weeks, Turner is too valuable on special teams.
A lot of people are going to question this move but you got to understand their players weaknesses / strengths. Campbell is more for stuffing the run and is a power hitter. But they have to have a linebacker who can also catch tight ends and running backs on the outside. That's where the latest move comes from.
Iffy may play hybrid SS/OLB
I agree. It seems like they are going to have to do something like that.
Iffy going back on i/r
That's what I was thinking too. Last year he played in the box and got to the qb a couple of times and could shutdown a Tight end
So who ya gonna sit? Branch or Joseph?
Iffy is hurt again!! Got hurt in practice
You are on the ball Derrick. I always hear it first from you. I can’t wait to get Iffy back. He’s a Dawg.
He’s out again got hurt and getting put back on ir
Yeah, I heard Dan say Iffy is injured again with a new injury in todays press conference.
Jesus he just cannot stay healthy
@@franktalksmoney Exactly what I said….
I like the Long Jr signing.
In Brad Homes we trust.
Man are you ever on the ball. Thank you
Iffy just developed a new injury. Something to do with his hand
Glad melifonwu is coming back cause he is my favorite player on the team and I am going to this weeks game.
He got hurt again in practice, finger injury
He’s one of my favorites especially how he played the last 6-7 games last year. Unfortunately, being unavailable is something that has plagued him his entire tenure here. Hope he gets back quickly to play out the last 4 games of the season. I don’t think it will happen though
@@KRHKILLER boo hoo. play through it
David long Jr is a monster great pick up has alot of speed on him and ✋️
Derrick you are the best man! Content is reliable, accurate and consistent!
Jonah Jackson has just been benched for Beaux Limmer. Woof.
This is guy is a low key monster.
We are so lucky to have Long get passed up by 31 other teams....how did this guy not get picked up before we got our chance to grab him?
Seems like being good will.also improve your luck....and being good and lucky are a dynamite combination.🧨🎆
Iffy aint comin back next year i think..
Guy hurt his finger in practice and "wont be back for a while" via dc
Not surprised he's "hurt" again. Nothing against him. Branch and Joseph are our safeties. Hope he can play corner.
I think the DL coach put a good word in for long Tennessee ties.
Thanks for the information. I like your videos.
Bro played like 800 snaps and was one of their best players last year. There was people wanting us to trade for him last year. He played over 700 his last year in Tennessee too. Hes played full years.
I hope he does well!
Our injuries on the defensive side starting to add up….. first Barnes then Hutch now Alex….
Think with new injury he’s going to be on roster for full day, then go back on. Gives him chance to come back
Wonder how many of ours players have been injured in practice this year.
When’s Moseley coming back?
has to be this week or next or he's back on IR for the rest of the season, same with Brodric
The Lions keep making chess moves.
Brad Holmes. Chess master
Heard iffy hurt something else from practicing smh
I thought Iffy was going to be a bit longer with a different injury?
I don’t mind any signings at this point. obviously we needed more bodies due to injury but until he gets elevated and produces he just fills a role until energizer gets back.
David Long is a good tackling linebacker. Was a captain for the Dolphins just didn't fit the coordinators new scheme.
Outta the blue question. Since now that we have Z Man opposite side of Hutch next year. What do you think will happen to John Cominski. Would they make him a backup or with the trade him?
Likely trade him for 1 or 2 draft picks, maybe a player if someone from our team signs somewhere else
His contracts over after this season. He'll be an unrestricted free agent. I see no reason in resigning him.
Last season, he had the most snaps opposite of Hutch, and only finished with 2 sacks.

@@benjamincasper7615 His contract is up at the end of this season. I would never consider re-signing him.
Aint giving iffy a ring

Iffy being activated before Broderic is a little confusing to me. But then again there could be a perfect explanation. Just my initial reaction
Can you clarify? Coach Campbell said today during the press conference Iffy is injured again and won't be back for a long time. Very confusing.
David Long Jr is going to be a sleeper pick up he's a dawg with jack and Malcom should be fine
They just announced yesterday Iffy has a new injury to his hand this time and won’t be back anytime soon.
Iffy back on IR isnt he ???
I watched Rich Eisen and Brockman on over-reaction Monday and I'll tell you Brockman is still not taking the Lions seriously and he's copeing hard.
Iffy seems to be injury prone
Once teams make waiver claims don’t they go to the last of the order?
David Long is the lowest graded LB in PFF. That's actually quite an accomplishment.
David Long Jr. the last three seasons graded out well by pff. He doesn't fit the new scheme.
they going to a 4-2-5
That's what they've been playing for the last few years.
I know in the beginning of some games, where the starters introduce themselves, they do have it listed as 4-3-4 but we don't have or use a Sam LB but we do use a nickel/slot corner.

we should get xavier howard

Would lose to iffy at LB see what he can do!

Long's missed tackles don't inspire confidence. That's a low percentage.
What about Mohammed ?
They activated iffy to put him again on IR - he likely won’t play late in the season if at all this year
