Lions returned to action following their bye week. They looked much fresher in defeating the Montreal Alouettes 41-18. On a sad note Lions lost Travis Lulay on the 2nd play with a suspected ACL injury. Huge loss for the Lions. Jonathan Jennings came in relief and looked impressive in guiding the Lions to their victory. He looked very poise standing in the pocket, decisive and delivered the ball with precision.
It was so sad to see Lulay fighting back the tears. He can mix his tears with the victims of hurricanes destruction Harvey & Irma...
Lulay was so so excited getting his start & this happens.
Honestly with the tools ( players ) at his disposal why take the chance & run for yards?
Big muscular D men like to nail the QB !!! No mercy.
Or if the QB runs feet side in time so the D has to avoid the tackle.
Not a gimme because a D man possibly will lay a "big hit" & take the flag.
Just not worth it.
In a tie game Grey Cup 3rd & goal 5 sec on the clock...ok run Lulay if no one is open .....
As mentioned Jennings & crew & also Lions D came out to "dance tonight".
What's with the Al's place kicker ? Crazy style. Stands to a weird angle & then he makes a twist & then goes into his kick.
That weird style has a delay thus the ball has a better chance to get blocked.
Sure enough that's what happened.
Durant QB has no flow in his game. Keeps throwing wide outs to the side of the field or 15 yards down field. With his drop back style he should be throwing a lot of 6-8 yard passes ( keep his receivers running short routes, & then mix it up with long bombs / screens ...
He should also run out of the pocket more so he's not just a play by play predictable target.
Riders must be happy with Glen as he truly is playing to his potential. ( happy to get rid of Durant )
Hope Lulay injury is not as bad as reported.
Sure great to have Jennings for a replacement.
Kinda like if Bobby Orr gets injured the Bruins replace him with Park.
