NEW: Yesterday, I spoke with #Lions DB Terrion Arnold about the unseen burden he carried behind his smile — the pressure, expectations, and growth that come with being a young player in the NFL.
“I’d say not just grow in football, but in life.”

Talked with a few #Lions players about that deleted NFL Films video on Brian Branch. One line stuck with me — “It was weird energy from the league… from the same league that’s supposed to protect your players.”

Interesting move by the NFL: they sent a memo reminding teams that players should punch the ball out, not the player — but used footage of Jack Campbell instead of 49ers defender Alfred Collins from Week 5 against the Rams.

The NFL sent a warning about this Lions defender’s ‘violent’ playing style
Jack Campbell's aggressive ball-punching technique has forced two fumbles this season but now has the league office sending memos to teams.

#Lions Scottie Montgomery on Jameson Williams not getting the ball: "If he's not unselfish, he's fooling the hell out of me. This was his best, cleanest, most physical in the run game. On the sideline, every single play, he was so excited for everyone."

Jared Goff has only one game this season where he’s completed less than 70% of his passes, and three games where he’s completed at least 79%. Do you understand how hard that is?

#Lions Brad Holmes on drafting players with an injury history: "It's all case by case. It depends on what the injury is. That doesn't deter us. We traded up to get Jameson Williams off an ACL (injury)."

Lions GM on the Hendon Hooker and Brodric Martin selections: "All you can do is put all the work in and feel good when you take the player. I feel there's risk involved with every single player. Unfortunately they did not meet expectations in a timely manner."

Holmes identified Terrion Arnold, Jameson Williams, Giovanni Manu and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. -- before his injury -- as players who all made jumps in this year's training camp.

Brad Holmes was just gushing about Nate Lynn an hour ago as one of his dark horses to make the roster essentially. There he is with a big play just now.

Jackson Meeks has been my dark horse candidate to make the Lions carry six wide receivers. Another week, another touchdown from Kyle Allen. This kid just has an underdog mentality about it.

After missing TeSlaa on that last throw, Allen got outside the pocket and hit him on the run for a first down, but it's coming back due to an illegal forward pass penalty. Rough start for the #Lions offense.

That's another Craig Reynold runs coming back due to a holding call. That's two so far for this offense.
