giantsfan Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Maybe he is fumbling again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehype Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Leshoure didn't look bad at all(considering he's against the Bears D)... don't know why they had Bell in there.. who didn't look half as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah I thought he looked really solid. Wasn't paying 100 percent attention to the game last night (fantasy was already in the bag ) so when I saw them at the goal line and bell running I was concerned. Will bell be the goal line back going forward? As a leshoure owner who is concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain77 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I must admit I am a bit confused as to what is going on with the Detroit running game. I was under the impression that Detroit drafted Leshure to be the short yardage/goaline back and the back to get the tough yards (what they have been lacking). I understand that Leshure fumbled last night (before Bell fumbled at the GL) and Detroit wanted to send him a message. But even before Leshure's fumble, the announcers kept saying that the Lions call J Bell "the closer" and Bell is the goaline back. I thought Leshure was the main and goaline back and Bell was the change of pace back. Â I understand these are just "nicknames and catch phrases" and what happens on the field matters more then these "nicknames" but Bell becomes a bit more valuable if he truly IS the goaline back. BUT...after Bell's goaline fumble last night I am curious to see how it all pans out... Â Leshure DID average over 5 yards a carry last night against a tough Bears D and besides the fumble, he looked pretty good. I know he had at least 3 runs over 10 yards, looked decent running between the tackles and just looks like the better running back. Â NOW...all this being said, both Leshure and Bell are running backs for the Lions which have NEVER produced fantasy points OR stay healthy (besides barry) on a consistent basis so my expectations are not too high to begin with.

Joebirds55 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Agree with that entire post. I picked up leshoure the week before his huge debut and was really high on him. He was a stud in college that never fumbled....now suddenly he can't hold onto the rock. I was stunned to see bell in there for those consecutive plays before he fumbled. He wasn't doing anything out there, the only explanation is that they were punishing leshoure. I'm glad he fumbled hopefully the idea of bell getting more work went out the window at that moment.

ABearWithFurniture Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Might need to go back and pick up Kevin Smith again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Might need to go back and pick up Kevin Smith again... Â I thought this too, then vomited in my mouth, then moved right along.... Â Never understood why they demoted/deactivated him. Still might do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehype Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 then next time the Lions were near the goal line after Bell fumbled they put bell back in... and still didn't do anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain77 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 So who is or will be the goalline back? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAdonis2010 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 yea that was the 1st detroit game ive seen all year...but the reference to bell as "the closer" had me baffled..i never heard this term/nickname used on him before  maybe he is "the closer" because they are always trailing by multiple tds in the 4th qtr and quit running the ball..idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpayers Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Stating the obvious here...DET is trying to see their way out of the fog. I'm heavily invested in Stafford and have made it a point to watch their recent games. When compared to last year, take your pick of the issues: Stafford's mechanics, teams smothering Megatron, indecisiveness of identity - high powered pass vs. power running, poor offense line play, problems a go-go on defense, a boy named Suh, HC Schwartz's shortcomings, etc. Â Unless you have no other choice, or a great match-up, stay away from DET. You gotta wait until/if they stabilize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brg88tx Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 leshoure has the potential to blow up this week imo going against a crappy jacksonville run defense and just had a baby boy this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
