OT:Mikel Leshoure Done for the season
August 8th, 2011 at 11:36 AM ^
He's a good football player -- speedy recovery!
August 8th, 2011 at 11:41 AM ^
Ah hopefully Jahvid Best is ready to step it up a notch. Still sucks about Leshoure though. We really needed that big back compliment.
Here's to a speedy recovery and a breakout season next year!
August 8th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Is there anything still loose on the free agent market in terms of a power running back?
I was hoping the Bears would release Chester Taylor. I doubt that happens now.
Mike Hart!
August 8th, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
Ouch, was definintely looking forward to seeing what he could do for the Lions this year. Hopefully he can make it next year and win the spot
August 8th, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
Lions getting no luck with their draft picks this year. First Fairley, now Leshoure. Let's hope Best is ready to go and injury free.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:41 AM ^
Atleast Young is practicing now.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:40 AM ^
Maybe next year? Ughhhhh
August 8th, 2011 at 11:41 AM ^
If anyone hears loud thumping on North Campus for the next hour, that's me banging my head against the wall.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:41 AM ^
*Insert michael scott "No" gif here*
August 8th, 2011 at 11:42 AM ^
Leshoure out for the year? That's what happens when I name my fantasy team Jersey LeShoure...
August 8th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
i thought about doing the exact same thing.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:08 PM ^
I was thinking about Mikel Row the Boat Leshoure. Guess that's out. I'll have to go with Taco's Homemade Deodorant now.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
So I know Elton Brand hasn't been the same since he tore his. Is this potentially career altering/ending for Mikel?
August 8th, 2011 at 11:44 AM ^
Please don't let this be another injury-plagued season of futility.
For real, how do these guys make it through college with no problems and then suddenly go down in flames when they hit their first NFL camp. No way an NFL practice is harder than college football.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:02 PM ^
Yeah, an NFL practice is harder than college football. Bigger, faster guys, going all out to make a team.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:17 PM ^
Harder makes sense, but I don't think torn Achilles harder makes sense.
Achilles tears are flukey things. Has really nothing to do with how hard the practice is.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:44 AM ^
fuck.
Although I am about to die from not surprised.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:46 AM ^
The Lions organzation can never get a break. This was the first year I can remember with positive "hype".
August 8th, 2011 at 11:46 AM ^
I thought it ended a year ago or so. Did the Iowa RB hating God get a one-way ticket to Detroit?
August 8th, 2011 at 11:49 AM ^
PIECE OF MONKEY SHIT
August 8th, 2011 at 11:51 AM ^
team in recent memory?
August 8th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS ARGH
August 8th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
Ron Zook. Angry Lions draft pick hating god strikes again.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
now would be a good time to pick him up or maybe old man westbrook
August 8th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
i thought he was going to be the lions best pick from the 2011 draft. i hope the injury doesn't slow him down when he gets back.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:02 PM ^
The Lions never catch a break. It's possible he is done for his career :(. Hope he recovers and comes back to a nice a career in the NFL with the lions.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:02 PM ^
WTF! He was going to be a HUGE part of the offense this season with his ability to run hard between the tackles. So disappointing! The Pipkins news definitely helps lessen the dong punch.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:02 PM ^
Unbelievable how shitty the Lions luck is.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:04 PM ^
Just think of it this way. We don't really know how he would have contributed to the Lions this season because he didn't play a down of football for them. So, we aren't really missing out on anything. It is what it is.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:05 PM ^
Still making the playoffs?
August 8th, 2011 at 12:11 PM ^
The curse is real.
Fuck you
August 8th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
This sucks. I was really looking forward to this opening Best up.
Guh.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
WTF???
I figured this would happen as teams try to work too hard too quickly. I didn't realize it would happen only to the Lions. I really should have known.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
Well that's shitty. So who's behind Best now on the depth chart?
August 8th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
Morris and the back from TCU(I can't think of his name right now).
August 8th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
let's see if they pick up Julius Jones or Laurence Maroney in free agency. hell ricky williams. why do i know, though, it will be kevin smith returning?
August 8th, 2011 at 12:45 PM ^
Yeah what is Kevin Smith's status?
To many carries in college and to many injuries in the NFL.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:59 PM ^
There will be players available after camps close, and I wouldn't be surprised if a guy like Smith is brought back for a look. Two years after major surgery, he might actually have his legs back a bit.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
With these select videos:
August 8th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
Aaron Brown is right now, Morris has an injury of some sort.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
Stafford next?
Don't even JOKE about that, PLEASE.
You shut your mouth when you're talking to me.
I was really hoping you were trolling and gonna go "Just Kidding! Wouldn't that have sucked if both Fairley and Leshoure got hurt though with Young being a bit banged up too?"
But alas....
I don't know whether to attribute this in any way to the lockout for not having them on a normal training schedule or something or just awful Lions luck. I'm not confident with Maurice Morris as the back up for best. Leshoure could have brought a pounding style this year that would wear defenses down for Best's quickness. Just please no more injuries.
