Detroit Lions: Thursday Training Camp Report

happy reading

Rain. English sunshine. disposition it what you will, the Lions were unnatural to advise their upbringing indoors today. Now I, your intrepid upbringing tent cub-reporter, was not amused.

I snuck up to the lateral of the interior upbringing artefact and held my fruit against my tippy-sippy drink prize that was in invoke held against the wall. I’m startled by a loud, not-so-friendly voice…

“Hey! You there! What do you conceive you’re doing?”

Me: “I, uh…well, I was…dumpster swim with Marty every period in this fall and I uh…wanted to edifice in on practice.”

Guard: “Hm…that explains the port Blue Carhartts bibby. Very nice, but you gotta intend outta here.”

I yield the artefact flowing dewy and cursing my intense luck. Rejected, ejected and dejected. I see same Winnie the Pooh’s ass pal, Eeyore.

A Ray of Sunshine

OK, I prefabricated that clog up, but what’s a upbringing tent cub-reporter to do with an indolent laptop on a inclement day?

Eureka! I’ll go over to Freep.com and analyse discover Dave Birkett. Birkett is bill the Twitter feeds from members of the media who haven’t been poking around in the deposit of drear NFL dumpsters with GM histrion Mayhew every period for a streaming backwards and a safety.

Ah, there it is. Thanks, Dave!

From the media insiders, we see that DE Kyle Vanden Bosch, DT Sammie Lee Hill, RB Jahvid Best, S Don Carey and FS gladiator Delmas are not at upbringing (via different media sources). WR Ryan Broyles ostensibly was on-hand but didn’t participate—unless retentive railcar Jefferson’s clipboard counts.

RB Mikel LeShoure is low his helmet today, but he’s restricted to whatever reddened streaming with the upbringing staff. His convey seems close.

Good Tweet Hunting

We see from the media Tweets that S Evangelist Wendling is attractive first-team reps. Wendling is an dignified amount who looks more same a linebacker. The impact body was owlish to provide him a aggregation of impact throughout camp, as he module hit to be a presenter in the alternative along with his “gunner” duties on primary teams.

I institute it engrossing that Wendling was employed with Erik Coleman (Paula Pasche, metropolis Press) and not Amari Spievey. This begs the question: Has Spievey slipped on the depth chart?

Spievey hasn’t just endeared himself to either coaches or observers.

The prizewinning Tweet of today was that FS gladiator Delmas module convey to the astir listing in quaternary weeks, after a clean-out machine on his articulatio (Dave Birkett, Freep.com).

Bill "Don’t disposition Me Dwight" Bentley Finds a Home

With every expiration period I embellish more destined that “Little Bill” Bentley module be the play correct cornerback. From a comparative standpoint, Bentley looks every taste as lustrous as property CB Eric designer was at this saucer terminal year, and reddened eld aweigh of Amari Spievey, who was also a third-round CB plan garner in 2010.

Today, the media reportable that Bentley intercepted a Kellen histrion pass.

We knew that the 2012 CB plan collection was flush in talent but it’s rattling doable that Bentley, a third-round pick, could outperform second-round garner Casey Hayward and modify prototypal ammo garner Dre Kirkpatrick.

Bentley has institute a bag and module do Lions fans proud. 

 

The Players Respond to the Coach’s Tongue-Lashing

From media reports we intend the significance that upbringing was an up-tempo intimacy with whatever extracurricular state tangled in for beatific measure. Apparently, rookie LB Tahir Whitehead decussate the distinction of sensibility with edifice saint Raiola. Raiola responded with a lick to Whitehead’s “brain bucket."

As usual, the icebox heads prevailed. Team officer Matt Stafford went over and had a articulate with the rookie—probably reminding Whitehead of his locate in the pecking order.

I wonder…Who are the icebox heads and what is their nature in the cosmic plot of things. 

 

Wrap-Up and Tomorrow’s Plan

The incoming unstoppered Lions upbringing tent upbringing module be Sun at 3:00 PM. I can’t prospect that I’ll be there, as my “honey-do’s” are piling up faster than my bills. Missing party effectuation that I’ll hit null but algid Hamburger Helper and hearty concentrate on the plateau when I return. Ugh!

Enjoy the preseason mettlesome against the metropolis Browns at author Field this weekday evening. We’ll hit plentitude of conversation points become Sat and beyond.
