Knevel is the only backup lineman dressed for the game.

I love Burnham but hes terrible on those hitch swing passes, not a great runner, also missed a key block on the screen to rutley...

Another missed tackle by Anthony Thompson. This is becoming a regular occurrence
Re: Lions at Riders July 20, 2019 - Game Day Thread
Two missed tackles by Thompson so far; both extended drives.

Burnham should not be the target for hitch screens.

The Lions are fooled on a fake FG.

Another lucky break for the Lions
Re: Lions at Riders July 20, 2019 - Game Day Thread
The rules are insane. The riders deserved the fake and we deserved to be burned by it.

Same case again. We are not well prepared. As noted numerous times, Burnham is no run after catch guy.
