If this guy gets more play time than Rodrigo I’m gonna be super salty. Rodrigo always gets slept on and has always showed up. Anytime Rodrigo is in the game he brings it.

[@jakefall9838]

He isnt even average. Hes not the strongest link

[@elevatedgame5794]

​@jakefall9838 you don't know football

[@Rob-dp3vr]

Why would you be upset? You think you know better than the coaching staff who sees the players in person? If he plays more than Rodriguez, then it's because the coaches see him as the better player to field. It's that simple. Whoever the coaches want to start, I support. Because they know better.

[@rickbovinette3809]

You got to think logically and not with emotions. I love Rodrigo but I want a Super Bowl more!

[@wrathman-101]

These coaches aren't going to put the weaker player on the field! I'm glad you don't have any say in the players on the field! 🤡🤣

[@salamanderz5847]

Pretty sure Branch can play linebacker 😅 dudes next level

[@mjcadillac815]

Love Rodrigo. He tackles like a wrestler. Once he gets his hands on you, you aren't going anywhere!

[@taze317]

He's very impressive.

[@jonahlange7898]

I saw a headline suggesting this, and I liked the idea, but wasn't sure if we'd do it or not. Let's go Lions!

[@iPAINTCODE]

That time Rodrigo went WWE on Jason Kelce 💪

[@c_note313]

He can stop the RB, good enough for me!

[@kingvick5914]

Plus Campbell been doing his job as well

[@richmahoney4637]

This a good move especially the way the independent NFL officials call targeting and put players in concussion protocol Malcom Rodriguez is the guy and Long is insurance needed insurance and we don’t want run Rodrigo to death

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

Remember Anazlone's stats looked like crap when the Lions got him.

[@hitboxsportscards]

Yeah he definitely got coached up. Dudes a monster now.

[@sagittarianking1398]

Hes Mot Good Enough to be in front of our current Linebackers.😮😮😮

[@edzdunczyk6443]

They can also put Jalen reeves-maybin in Ata linebacker

[@mangrove]

He's on IR, neck injury.

[@garryharris3777]

Indy is a run first team and Richardson is a great runner too. The IL looks terrifying. Hutchison, Laporta, Melifanwu, Barns and now

[@keysd31]

6:04 Bless you. 😂😂

[@21nixonme6]

Campbell will eventually be the next Anzalone. Rodrigo will be the next Campbell. Both excellent. I thought it was last year that Rodrigo was filling in as fullback? Can't remember if it was last year or year before that.

[@TheSobie01]

Anzo the most underrated player in the NFL I think the best player on the lions need him more than hutch no offense to hutch

[@Coolhandchris5]

I'm a big Anzalone fan too! So uunderrated!!

[@Cronicthehashhogde]

Bless you

[@stevenmiller8986]

I thought David Long Jr played at Michigan, you said West Virginia. What am I missing?

[@jtthomas6446]

He went to west Virginia google it

[@stevenmiller8986]

@@jtthomas6446 I''m mistaking him for the other David Long, JR who was drafted out of Michigan I think in 2019.

[@4100RAM]

With Iffy back we’ll see more 3 safety sets in place of 3 LB sets.

[@austingoodman4792]

Iffy isn’t coming back. New injury. MCDC said it today at his press conference

[@michaelmaas5544]

Iffy won’t be back until possibly the playoffs. Has a new hand injury

[@Saxman72241]

Iffy isn’t back. He injured himself again

[@MAlan-xm1yf]

Exactly

[@Longshore79]

@@Saxman72241that’s the coaches fault . He was progressing and should have rested several days

[@alldaynupe2310]

Jack is taking over the "Mike" per DC

[@davidbarber3821]

I remember the Carolina Panthers OLB broke his forearm in the NFC Championship & played in the Super Bowl

[@zonabot6029]

As a linebacker a broken arm is not season ending. In college I broke my forearm and was able to play 2-3 weeks later with a cast or club. I think the lions are just being cautious with him so he will be ready for the playoffs

[@keysd31]

Remember when Bobby Boucher showed up at halftime and the Mud Dogs won the Burban Bowl?

[@davidbarber3821]

@@keysd31 Remember when you came out of the closet?

[@teehud313]

We don't need bus riders joining this team looking for the easy path. Anzalone will be back before playoff time.

[@LavaDesert]

So what is his pass defense grade??, under 70? I have his grade a measly 69.

Lets be clear...he's NOT replacing Alex...he's joining the depth chart while others are elevated...practice squad player that will be let go when others get healthy...keep it real no hyperbole!

[@marselisdrane2409]

They did

[@JackShepherd-q6w]

There are 2 Bronco helmets also

[@darkhobo]

2 Pats too 32 teams 35 spots

[@Gabeyurbabey]

They didnt bring him in to replace him, they brought him in dor depth. Jack and Rodrigo will get the najroity of snaps..thia guy theu brought in to stop the run

[@DParks-ef8hy]

Why are there 2 New England patriots' helmets on your poster?????

[@paxchristi2014]

Cause they wear both during the season?

[@patriciahazen3843]

I see 3

[@jacobwilliams5380]

Run iffy branch and kirby. We dont need 3 lbs

[@northernerlivingthedream7373]

“Replacement” 😂 You silly!

[@joelopez843]

The only player to replace Alex Anzalone, is Alex Anzslone

[@mikewojnar6254]

Show some highlights

[@Jake_Nors]

Isn’t Rodriguez in for Barns?

[@Loveerrrbody]

I like Rodrigo he's just too small for me..

[@backrack01]

His numbers arent really that good. But hopefully the Lions culture will get the best out of him.
