I think I'm going to be
sick!!! Last week's loss at Tennessee was heart-wrenching, emotionally draining, and
just a little unjust. That was nothing compared to the last 2 minutes of the Detroit
game. The Rams had the victory in the bag -- they were about to turn a few thousand
RAM naysayers into believers (or, more likely, into Lions naysayers). I'll let this
week's illustrious list tell the rest of the story: DEXTER McCLEON - Dude, I've been your biggest fan going back to last year, when you filled in for holdout McNeil to start the season. Letting Crowell get behind you on 4th and 26 was unforgivable, but you had to hammer that last nail in your coffin with the interference penalty. TAJE ALLEN - Johnnie Morton was 2 feet away from you when he caught the game winning TD. You could have at least yelled 'boo' or something to throw off his concentration. Your name shows up on this list fairly regularly -- why do you suppose that is? (Is Dre Bly ready to play nickel yet?) TODD LYGHT - The Lions receivers made you look like a snotty-nosed rookie in the first half. You were playing way too soft. All I can say is 'thank God that Herman Moore wasn't healthy'. BILLY JENKINS - The idea of the blitz, son, is to make opposing offenses lose yardage on the play. It kinda blows up in your face and yields the opposite result when you line up in the neutral zone and draw a flag. AZ-ZAHIR HAKIM - Ever since your stellar game against Cincinnati, your returns have been scary (not scary GOOD, either). In fact (I'm sorry to share this with everyone, but) my butt goes into full clench every time you're running back punts, because the fumble always seems imminent. Yeah, the 75-yard touchdown was all you after the catch, but the dropped TD in the first half was inexcusable. ISAAC BRUCE - Catch the damn ball! You're supposed to be able to rise above guys like Bryant Westbrook. PLAYCALLING/MARTZ - Holcombe was underutilized as a ball carrier (2 carries for 16 yards). Yeah, the Lions bottled up Faulk on the ground, but a few more attempts up the gut with big #25 toting the rock could have put a little more balance into the offensive attack. It also might have forced the Lions D to stay in run support, instead of going blitz-happy. And once again, Amp Lee was just a footnote. Don't take a page out of the Jerry Rhome playbook -- just put Lee on the field as a decoy on occasion. With this offense, you could make a bold statement -- you've got the weapons, man, so start saying it with bullets!!! DV AND/OR THE 2-HEADED GIUNTING (whoever's responsible for the Nickel package on 4th and 26) - Somebody on that staff has too much undue respect for the Lions' draw play...why the hell weren't there 6 DB's on the field? The game should have ended then and there!! Here's hoping the Rams have had ample time to lick their wounds, circle their wagons, get their ducks in a row, (insert cliche here)... GO RAMS -- NEUTER THE PANTHERS!!! |
