I love how Brad teaches as he talks. He gives you a legitimate and logical reasoning behind every decision made.

@pmop34 Ай бұрын

Yeah! You're right. Don't think I've given him enough credit for this. It's never excuses or some bullshit. He gives you straight up answers. I love this man

@yaboytroy357 Ай бұрын

Him and Dan both do that. It’s so fun just to listen to both of them talk because I feel like I learn more about coaching and roster building in the NFL every time.

@dankill9131 Ай бұрын

Never thought of that before but you are 100% right! He can DO and TEACH!! Love our GM!!

And imo, he speaks better than any other team representative, explaining their views and reasoning. So good at breaking it down.

Brad did it again. Every player he picked has potential, some could be stars and some will be future starters. I think Manu, Wingo, and Mahogany could all turn into good players. It’s so nice having competent people running this team.

At its peak, automotive manufacturing and other, Detroit was a force. A lot of money flowed thru this town. The infrastructure and essence of Detroit was established. Thankful that much still remains. But every building, street corner, church and city park requires maintenance. And that takes a bunch of money

@theoneandowney Ай бұрын

If you notice Brad Holmes usually draft players that were Captains on their college teams. He also draft players that played at a high level before getting injured then, those same injured players work hard to get back from those injuries. Those same injured players work hard to get back to playing at a high level. I believe this mentality is what he means when he says, these players are "wired right". Brad Holmes also seems to value players that are versatile. Players that can play multiple positions, on the football field.

Realistically, we didn't have 2 firsts and two seconds as we usually do. It doesn't always work that way. At least we are not predictable. We shored up the biggest weakness the long-term CB situation. One CB was comparable to Witherspoon. I would have loved him in the last 7-8 games last year! Are we going to resign Decker next year for 20-30 million. That's what LT's cost? Well, we drafted someone who Fraley can coach up over the next year. No more 400 yard receiving games. OUR QUALITY of DB's has improved exponentially. We didn't have a 3rd or a 4th. So, we live with the results of our limited picks. We have a DL an OL and coaches to train up.
