Caleb Banks

Sure why not lol

Maybe there is more to the story like a personal matter.... i hope?

He's gotta earn snaps to play. He hasn't done that. Flores is smart to sit him..Banks needs to follow the coaching.

Flores has more than earned my trust but that’s disappointing on Banks.

Oh well! SKOL

This past draft is on the way to rivaling giving Kwesi's first draft. Maybe Kwesi wasn't the biggest issue, it seems like the team gives a lot of authority of the draft picks to the coaches. I think KOC and Flores have been given too much say in the final picks.

Is this like the angst about Dallas Turner his rookie year? We can't let young guys develop anymore?

Was just going to say the same thing

Because Flores is intelligent enough to realize defenses are going to follow the lions blueprint. So Elijah Williams was active.

^^^^^This

The Lions exploited what the colts exposed.

Look at the pad level and technique.

Flo doesn’t play rookies unless forced to do so.

I’m not concerned about this at all. Banks has all the tools to be an elite DT. He needs development and look what Flo did with Turner.

For Flores - reps are earned and its not dependent on where you were drafted. The weakness of the D is run defense. They will continue to work with Caleb and he still has immense upside. He has to do a better job holding the point of attack.

We have gotten massive value from lower draft picks and mid level signings on the defense. Being upset about a draft pick in his 9th game is not something to get upset about.

On the topic of draft picks, saw Golday get quite a few reps at LB on Monday. Was around the ball often.

Saw that as well. He just seems like he's going to be a player. BFlo relies on those LBs so much as playmakers, would love to see Golday continue to get incrementally more snaps. Maybe even be almost rotational in 3-4 games. Would help keep that group fresh and effective all game.

Bigger body than the others, keep them fresh. The D really shut down the run until they got wore down.

The D shut everything down until the TOP got stupid bad.

I think every once in a while a player needs the message that they need to earn their spot. He never was going to be just dropped into a starting role, but it felt like he was really getting pushed around recently, and maybe needed a little reminder to keep his pads low.
