Are we SLEEPING on Detroit Lions James Houston's potential?
Спорт
Jeff Iafrate, Booner, and Lukas Klotz discuss whether or not Detroit Lions fans are sleeping on James Houston's potential and if it's possible that Brad Holmes doesn't prioritize the defensive-line early in the draft because of it. What do you think of his ceiling with the Detroit Lions?

That's how I have felt... Everyone is acting like he don't exist. He gunna be the defensive version of Williams as far as people finally understanding his worth.
I agree Booner, we need an edge rusher with one of the first two picks.
Da Problem " will be on 🔥 fire this pup coming season ..can't wait
Houston is hybrid situational beast
Back in early days of life I was given a number 20 Jersey with Sims on it. Fast forward a decade and I got another #20 with Lions. Some guy named Barry. That was the last Jersey I bought.....till December 2022. I custom ordered and got the original Jersey for Houston. Talk about electric, that man is not to be slept on. Was a little miffed about him switching numbers in off season, but I have the original. I am stoked on him, and so are the Lions. That being said, He is a depth hybrid player. He is NOT a D-Line starter. Wouldn't have it any other way. Can't wait to see him bounce back this year. Both things can be true, not one or the other.
how many times do yall wanna be wrong about shyt?
Houston and Craig Reynolds just signed to exclusive rights contracts.
Id love to see us get a quality WR early like a Legette,Polk,Pearsall,Coleman or Franklin, followed by an Edge like Kneeland or Braswell, then an OG like Mahogony or McCormick, then a safety like Trey Taylor, followed by an OG like McMahon ,then followed by another safety Vaki and finally an Edge in Gabriel Murphy
I think we forget too what does DJ Reeder do for the outside guys as well as the new DL coach. They are going to have to take a double team off of Hutch or give double up the inside guys to be disruptive. This will make the opposite side of hutch have less pressure to win their 1:1

Facts think dt bigger need than edge because healthy and don't know about martin
Y'all see that hit he put on Stafford 👀 in that good playoff game 👀
They got not much from the Okwara's last year. They were both more cover edges, you know, and I see maybe a need in that area of the line. It'd be nice to loosen Hutch up to roam a bit at times. Houston helps with that on passing downs and we all hope Davenport does, too. I can see them wanting more from the draft
Not to brag. But I had a few of Brad Holmes picks right. I might be wrong but I think he will get a edge in the first round.

Jeff’s 100%.
Check the dude on the left giving Brad Holmes draft advice …. 😂
Last year, the 15th, 28th, and 31st selections in the first round were edge rushers. They put up 3, 3, and one-half sacks accordingly. I think these guys keep ignoring where Detroit is selecting. It would take extreme luck to draft a guy at 29 who would be a double digit sack man. Additionally, there is a lack of trust regarding coaching. I believe that Campbell's staff will develop the young talent that they select. Stop thinking that the shiny new thing is automatically better.
I think we need to chill and let Brad cook. I think we add either DRobinson or Kneeland in the draft. If I could, I would double down with both of them, because like Hutch, Drob can kick inside. If there is one thing we know about Brad is that we know Brad likes to double down in the draft. 👍🏾🎙👍🏾
We’re gonna draft a lockdown man CB and pair him with Carlton Davis III and then blitz the hell outta QB’s while Reader attracts double teams and eats double teams. Don’t sleep on a healthy Davenport
Ya'll turning into 97.1 I trust brad then you question brads decisions wich is it
AGREED🎉🎉🎉🎉
my only concern is coming out of training camp last year James Houston was low on the depth chart

Cause they were trying to get him to play LB

Overthinking. Too much anxiety. Time to relax. Brad will surprise us in a good way. We are not coming out of the first 3 rounds without defensive players. We got too close.
Houston is legit. The problem came with starting Harris. He should've never been on the field.
Yes everybody is sleeping on James Houston. And no I do not think Aidan Hutchinson is going to get double-digit sacks this season. Not because he can't, but because it's too much talent on the defensive line. Especially if the Lions draft Bralen Trice. Before McNeill got hurt he was on pace to the door of double-digit Sacks. Pair that with our new Young DT, who potentially could pick up eight sacks in his own right. Now with James Houston in the outside linebacker position rolled down on the line, Sacks everywhere!!! Don't be surprised if Aidan Hutchinson only comes away with 7 to 8 sacks himself.
James Huston had 8 sacks in 2022 and was injured as Jeff pointed out in 2023 if you’re immediately thinking we need to draft positions of need . In the case of Brad Holmes is an incorrect assumption .its always best football player on the board and what I mean by that I those guys who are not only athletic freaks but can be moved around on the field like Brian branch jack Campbell Jaymer Gibbs Jameson Williams ect none of those guys have to be lineup in the same spot that have skill and athleticism to be lined up all the field as much as their position allows but all have be able to block and play physical football. Outside of quarterbacks if your not a physical football player that has versatility your not a Detroit lion
The problem with some Lions fans is they do not want anybody to shine but Hutch.There has to be at least three that can get to QB . You three clowns opinion does not matter.

Thank you I been saying this. They only look at other players like THE HELP.
No one can ever say with any player that, “I KNOW”….. that’s a fantasy….. NO ONE KNOWS, EVER…. I don’t care who it is…🤔 You guy’s are actually arguing something that hasn’t even happened yet????! All because they re-signed, James Huston. REALLY???! People just need to calm down. Because people truly act like, Brad Holmes is not aware of what we need… DUHHHHH!!! He’s the one with the GM job!🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ #OnePride✊🏾🦁💙 #InBradWeTrust💯
Think dt bigger need than edge

Well we have our 2 starters already in Alim and DJ so maybe in the late rounds but we definitely need to upgrade our pass rush, Houston could be a dominant 3rd and long guy especially with that insane bend but we still need someone IMO
Love Houston but he's not a 3 down player.
How can you guys mock Holmes and what he's done nothing but disrespect
Defense wins CHAMPIONSHIPS
Houston needs to prove he can get back to his prior form from a broke ankle. But His game is to bend at the ankles like Barry Sanders. Hopefully his injury is a fluke and behind him with no future reissues.
James Houston is Von Miller 2.0 unfortunately Aaron Glenn saw James destroy Justin Fields in the open and moved James to OLB where he now covers TE's and hasn't been anywhere near a QB.

@@CATCH22-313 Close. James Houston sack a game streak ended the year before. Last game of 2022 vs. Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay after AG made Houston cover TEs as an OLB. Aaron Glenn is a terrible DC.
Outside off EVERYTHING we should have been in the superbowl LOOK at the bigger picture stop questioning Holmes dude on the left NEEDS to chill. Detroits fans are so ungrateful unbelievable
OK, so these 3 want-a-be's are off the bandwagon, want-a-be's Holmes and Campbell said its a 5year program, it's been 3.
You guys are sounding like a s.o.l. fan, we all remember how you guys reacted at least years draft, you preach trust the process, so trust Brad Holmes process. These guys are doing a fantastic job and your guys can not do their job
Houston has to improve in his coverage skills, that is what the Lions have asked him to work on. That will make him more of a complete player.

@jmommy881 never once heard that.Its always been a matter of him not getting swallowed up in the run game.He was an edge rusher in college which is what he does best.We're not using him as a coverage lb to take away from his strength.he was never drafted as a lb but a situational pass rusher that could hopefully become an every down player.

@@jermainepennymon1158 His in college was Sanders, he was a linebacker until Sanders switched him. And the Lions do want him to be able to cover. That would also give him more time on the field. You should really do more research before you comment. Sanders, the head coach of Colorado is the one that I was referring to.

@jmommy881 make your comment make sense.Sanders has nothing to do with the Lions and your comment never referenced him.Do your research because the organization don't view him as a lb & never has.
