Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 2 - Commander @ Lions

We’ve all heard the cliches. We’ve all heard that you can’t simulate the speed in practice and that you need to get hit to get used to being hit.

I tend to believe it. There’s a difference between classroom learning and practical learning. I think the intersquad practices mitigate that somewhat because it’s good to test yourself against a different set of strengths and weaknesses. Games are still different. Maybe it’s the continuity, the clock, or the score keeping. Maybe it’s the chess match between coordinators and players.

That said, give me a quarter. Give me two series.

You can't get used to the chaos, and have the intensity of "if I don't get rid of the ball, I'm going to get flattened by a 300lb smelly dude" unless you play in games.

Not true. You can get the exact same experience by walking around downtown Seattle or San Francisco for an hour or two on any given day.

I know this is controversial, but I think it's the right move (knocking on wood.)

 

[Hokieskin]

Can't ask for a better start, lol

 

[SkinsGuy99]

Nice defensive TD.

 

[aledb11]

Tremendous start!!!

 

[The Rook]

I was just hoping for a no yardage play on D.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Seems quiet on the board for a game day.

Nice way to start for the defense against a backup offense.

 

[aledb11]

Josephs absolutely smoked his man on that

 

[Hogwallop]

seemed like the lions lineman had possession though for a safety

 

[The Rook]

That was a sweet tackle by Amik.

 

[The Rook]

Ugly looking tush push rushes.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Dobbs = not good.

 

[aledb11]

Dobbs = not good.

Understatement of the preseason

 

[aledb11]

Didnt maintain possesion on the rollover.

 

[The Rook]

Well, that’ll do just fine.

I think Quan loves playing in Detroit. Can he play there every game?
