I mean if you’re not up to the task, staying out of the way isn’t the worst idea in the world. Creating a board-worthy post isn’t difficult.

See? That’s literally all you have to do. You can even add a blurb about his role likely being a reserve lineman in the C/G role if you’re feeling fancy. 
 

FWIW, it’s not the worst post in the world. Just lacking a link and some information other than a title.

Exactly. Even more true considering people will trip over eachother to post any news you don't. I would guess I have started two posts in my history.

I've turned into the old man yelling at a cloud. I don't get why people race to post news that they didn't generate themselves. Doubly so when it's tangential fairly unimportant news like this.

 

It's like they're the same people who play music loudly over bluetooth speakers in public.

They really have, it's creeping me out a little. In addition to their smart re-signings of critical players, they've added 2 running backs, 2 Corners, and now Glasgow. The team looks like it not only won't miss a beat from last year, but they look improved, with added depth. While losing Williams sucks, Montgomery is one of the best short yardage backs in the league, and gives them options catching out of the backfield.

I'm not happy about losing Williams, although I think Montgomery is a slight upgrade. I won't be surprised if they draft a RB in the middle rounds. Swift is entering the last year of his contract, and I don't think he's had one season when he hasn't been injured. If he has a similar season in 2023, it's probably time to move on.

I like the signings, as it looks like they're being smart with their money. I'm still concerned about a viable backup QB, though.

While I wasn't thrilled with the Anzalone resigning, especially at first, but in context to other deals going out I get it more now. I thought it was too much money too, but then looking around the league it seems depth & rotation players are consistently getting about 4-6 mil per year. Anzalone is a solid rotation LB while, yeah, a mediocre starter.

But you can really see Holmes philosophies coming out. Hes spent low draft picks and few FA assets on the LB position. Im thinking his plan is to continue to beef up the D-Line through the draft and hoping that improved play leads to more space for the LB to operate comfortably in.

Honestly, I am actually starting to think the Lions have a good GM.  Brad Holmes seems to be making smart strategic decisions on a regular basis, something I have never seen from a Lions GM.
