Daunte Culpepper said Tuesday that he "had a great workout and meetings with the Lions."

 

Culpepper turned down a chance to tryout for the Chiefs because he felt the Lions were a better opportunity, but so far least Detroit hasn't made a contract offer.

Earlier this week the Detroit Free Press had an amazing stat: Six quarterbacks have set their career-high passer rating versus the Lions this year. And they've only played seven games. Detroit has allowed 9.5 yards per throw—which ranks dead last in the NFL by over 10 percent—and they have a grand total of one pick while allowing a 118.0 combined quarterback rating. Seriously.

 

Orton and the Bears receivers will continue the lions downward spiral and torch their D for 40 more!!

Wow, Charles Tillman looked like a rookie on that play. That was as bad as Mike Brown trying to tackle the Vikes AP in open field. Peanut didn't know where the ball was. By the time he figured it out (should have been obvious considering the route and the receiver's height) he did a hokey-pokey turn-yourself-around, practically tripped over his own feet, and didn't even get off a jump attempt at the ball. And the real kicker...he was RIGHT there! Blanket coverage..if he just hadn't looked clueless and like he had two left feet he could have handed Orlovsky a pick because he threw it to a receiver that wasn't even close to being open. Ughh. Considering that's the 100 millionth time Tillman has defended that route in his football career, I'm confident saying there's no excuse.

Thats classic Peanut though. He is good at stripping the ball after the catch but most of the time he is bad in coverage.

That's hardly the book on Tillman. In fact he's considered our best cover corner. It's hard for me to vouch for that since you can't see the defensive backfield watching on TV.
