LOINS Running backs

by **slowhandfan** on Thu Aug 16, 2012 9:18 am

You wanna know why the LOINS have won one playoff game since 1957?

Guys like Leshoure.... they need to cut the SOB... How much money has his hop head been paid, and he has not played a down for us, and is not a threat to in the near future.... It looks like his work ethic sucks to say the least.... I wish he was as enthusiastic about playing NFL football as he is about cannibus

Then you have Best... while his problems are legitimate, you never really recover once you become a concussion machine ... oh you can lead a normal life.. but hockey or football...???

They should let them both go... they are not going to help on the field any time in the near future anyway... Start combing the waiver wires and get the best two healthy backs in here that are available....

The league is set up to where they don't play they don't get paid. I think that's the best part about the NFL. This problem will fix itself. No guaranteed money.

I don't like the non-guaranteed contracts. It means the deals are worthless 5 minutes after they're signed. If a player does well he holds out for more money, if he does poorly he gets cut or told he needs to renegotiate or get cut.

who are the LOINs?

Either way Leshoure I think will end up being ok, boy made some mistakes now he's got a second chance, if he **** up again he should be gone.

I'm sure he will have more issues. These guys are told from the moment that they show they can play ball that they're special, the rules don't apply to them, and if they need a little help with grades or that legal issue, someone will take care of that as long as they make sure that they get their HS or college team an extra win or two. Once they get to the pros, they're expected to walk a straight line when they've never had to before. They should know better, but a lot of that attitude the players have is due in large parts to all the people who value winning that state title or getting to that major bowl game above teaching kids how to do the right thing. Lloyd Carr had some players do stupid things, but they were addressed and he didn't allow kids he knew would cause problems on his teams, and he got slammed fro not winning enough. 9 or 10 wins almost every year and a relatively clean program wasn't good enough, he needed to be more like Les Miles, DickFraud, and Sweater Vest who got those slime balls, "massaged" the rules, and won more. One year Michigan had a recruit named Kelly Baraka who got charged with rape. He was told that if he beat the charges he could come back, but for now his scholarship was pulled. The same year, MSU had 2 guys, Eric Knott and I can't remember the other guy's name, who had the exact same charges. Nick Saban bent over backwards to get them into East Lansing, and they had problems the rest of their careers. As long as we see that kind of crap, we'll see idiots getting arrested once they hit the pros and they don't have boosters and coaches protecting them and covering up for them anymore.

With Best being a hit to the head away from being done. It's safe to say he's done being a Lion after this year. This will be make or break for Leshoure. It sounds like he'll be playing Saturday. Smith, Williams and Bell have looked solid but we need a back who is proven. The Logan experiment was cute and all but it's not going to work. I am sure we'll claim someone once the first round of cuts come. No worries boys.

Any chance Detroit looks at Knowsean Moreno? He's on the bubble similar to the way Colt McCoy is in Cleveland. Trade Willie Young or Everette Brown to them since we have the DE to spend.

Young and Brown are going to be starting next year when KVB retires and Avril is let go because he's not worth a huge contract.

I agree, cut Leshoure.
