Well so much for those that claimed we let him go too soon.

He and Doug Free would make the perfect pair.

What are the chances Jerruh brings him back stating the Cowboys regretted ever letting him go.

Lions begin OL makeover by informing Stephen Peterman of his release http://wp.me/p14QSB-7aSy

JUST SAY NO!

Dallas drafted Peterman. Another in a long line of mishandling of the offensive line

 

[Boys122]

Jerry's kind of lineman, can't block. Perfect fit.

Peterman might or might not be an example of why the Cowboys have held on to Arkin.

This can't be life.

I don't think Peterman's case is anything like Arkin's. Arkin is (was?) a small-school developmental project who can't get on the field even with multiple injuries. Peterman was a top SEC player with questionable NFL athletic talent who was playing, but then sustained a terrible leg injury and the team gave up on him, probably because they weren't sure he'd ever be the same.

And besides, that was Parcells making that move. This is Jerry/Garrett.

Unfortunately, Arkin is probably more like James Marten. Simply can't play.

Now was that a Parcells pick or a Jerry pick? :laugh2:

The Lions cut Peterman because they have his replacement on the roster . Bill Nagy.




Yes. I did that on purpose.

Rue, rue, rue...

I didn't understand that move. All they had to do was wait until the roster cut date and then put him on IR. Did they really need ALL 90 roster spots?

yeah that kind of makes me think he might have another injury or something and they really feel he is done

Only Detroit thinks he's fine.

Nagy severely sprained his ankle in training camp and required surgery. The injury was enough to sideline him for the season, but the Lions liked his potential and decided to stash him away on injured reserve.

Three months later, Nagy has made significant strides in his recovery and has joined his new team.

"He's out of his cast now," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "He was in a cast for six weeks, something like that, and couldn't really get around very well. He's from Cleveland, so he's local. He would come in every once in a while and get checked on, but he's been with us pretty steadily for about the last month or so, goes to our meetings. You don't see him out at practice, but does a good job of staying involved in our game plans, going to meetings. Now he's back to lifting and working out a little bit more, getting some treatments. For a while there was no treatment other than rest."

Nagy, a seventh-round pick out of Wisconsin in 2011, is a versatile interior lineman who has experience playing both guard and center.

"He's a very interesting player," Schwartz said. He played on the offensive line when we played down in Dallas (last year) -- thought that he did some really good things. He was a guy that had an injury early on and he had an injury-marred career at Wisconsin, but it didn't take away the fact that he was a good player. He's in injury rehab right now but I think that he has a future for sure with us."

A seventh-round pick out of Wisconsin, Nagy's release came as a surprise to most everyone last fall, though he said he was "honored (the Lions) thought that highly of me to really take me on for this whole year when they knew that I wouldn't be able to contribute."

"It was crazy because I went and I had surgery in Charlotte with Dr. (Robert) Anderson and I was on a plane back, talking with my agent, and he basically was kind of, 'Hey, you're going to probably be heading back to Dallas, that's what it's looking like,' " Nagy said. "I got on the plane, got off the plane, had like three messages, text messages saying congratulations. And this is me post-op surgery, so you can imagine I'm not all there.

"But it's a great opportunity. I'm fitting it well. It's real close to Cleveland where I'm from, so I think it's a great opportunity."

That ends some rueage.

 

[newlander]

play for the Lions: he's god AWFUL. CAn't run, can't block, can't stop himself from taking penalties. One of the worst guards in the league. (I live in Michigan so I'm subjected to LIons games.....I won't let my kids watch them as it is truly a form of child abuse)

I really can't understand our failures with linemen, other than only drafting one in the first round. Whether they are from a big school or a small school, we can't seem to find any who can play well on this level ... or at least sustain it, in Free's case.

Some of it may be whoever we have in charge of evaluating them, but even that has changed some over the years, from Lacewell to Ireland to Ciskowski, through six head coaches and several OL coaches.
