[QUOTE="MichiganSportsTalk, post: 696918, member: 10289"] Because we literally had no one else. The Detroit corners from last night: Asa Jackson (who they took from Baltimore practice squad 2 weeks ago) Nevin Lawson (normal starter, just isn't terribly good) Johson Bademosi (special teams guys who never, EVER gets snaps on defense) Prior to the Giants game, they made up for the deficiencies by running some 3 safety looks that were actually REALLY effective. Haven't seen that in 2 weeks though. I attribute that to the Caldwell effect (changing something that is working for no good damn reason at all). With Slay hurt (and probably out next week too), and Quandre Diggs on IR, this is likely who you'll be facing. Good luck to us..... It also doesn't help that Swanson (starting C) is still out. When he is gone, the starting LG (Glasgow) moves to C, and the two choices for LG are Laken Tomlinson (human tackling dummy) and Joe Dahl (rookie with about 4 snaps of playing time this year). They started Tomlinson in Dallas, but he got benched for just being the worst, and Dahl came in, and promptly reminded us all that he is an untested rookie. To their credit, Detroit came out with some fire last night. Zach Zenner came out of nowhere and lit up the Cowboys D. In the first half, he had 10 carries for 64 yards and 2 TDs in the first half. So what did Detroit do in the 2nd half? They pulled him for Dwayne Washington who had like 27 yards on 7 or 8 carries. Zenner only got the ball twice in the 2nd half. WTF!? More Caldwell effect for you. Long story short, if the injuries they dealt with against Dallas persist, and Caldwell continues to get out-coached/coach poorly, then I don't really see how Detroit can win. It pains me to say this after how this season has gone, but I'm guessing we miss the playoffs entirely this year. [/QUOTE]
