Just watch your (essentially) interview with Bishop. He reminded me a lot of Tracy Walker IIi. Is it just me, or does anyone else agree. Hope he plays like him, starts this week and gets a pick like Walker at the 49ers on what I think was hist first game.
Feels like yet another year of filling starting roster spots with other teams' practice squad players. Not a formula that's had success to date. Holmes really whiffed on not addressing the secondary during the offseason. And yeah, I know: What would I have wanted him to do?? I don't know, I'm not the GM of an NFL football team making millions a year, but if I was, I'd like to think I'd have an answer.
Taking a young uninjured defensive back into the fold was a good move but the team needs to do more to improve this D. Keep it simple and make it physical. Go Lions
I still don't see where guys with virtually no NFL experience are going to help this team no matter how well they did in college. So why didn't Pitty have this guy on the 53 man roster? We busted out with what's his face from OSU about 6-7 years ago and he was a number three pick. Why not "poach" Porter or trade for him? At least he has real time experience.
With Kirby looking like he won't be back this year, Branch still a big question mark, Arnold lost for good and Rakestraw not playing much, one of two things will happen. Either the Lions will bolster their "D" line to take some pressure off the back end or they will have to start rebuilding the secondary with the draft in 2027 yet again.
Trying to stay positive but seems like a big part of the problem apart from raw talent is understanding zone coverages/assignments. This revolving door is not helping with that.
Does Bachie’s release indicate Rolder is full-go? (I never understood why they wanted to guarantee Bachie’s salary as part of the initial 53, he could’ve been a practice squad elevation in Week 1.)

At least he is young and healthy so there is a small chance he could contribute someday.

Rolder has been full-go, physically. It's been a mental catch-up. Can't speak to his readiness there.
So can we expect a corner signing?
Accepting the fact that we need to score 35 each game going forward. Which, we can do.
