Re: Zenner continues to get attention
Not a Zenner homer here, but I do not understand what the Lions are doing.
They give Bell a ton of carries, and he has never been great, but whatever, what I don't understand is why do they activate Zenner if they aren't going to give him some carries?
Abdullah and Riddick are flashy, and do quite well, but they keep giving Bell carries that could go to those two, could go to Zenner, hell could go to their fullback.
There offensive line struggles, especially the right side, but that shouldn't matter, Bell is slow, can't break tackles and just isn't that good.

Re: Zenner continues to get attention
Until ZZ gets 10-15 touches in a game and tanks I'll still think he's the best RB they have and the best way to get AA some different looks. What a garbage team, crappy offense that is so complex that the guys can't run it. I wish some other team with RB issues/injuries would trade for him. Denver may need one, great fit there.Originally posted by bubbajack View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Zenner continues to get attention
How in the holy nutmegs is bell still playing. ZZ is going to rot on that bench. I'm not a lions fan but was willing to be just because of ZZ, but they're wasting him and not even trying. Very frustrating!Leave a comment:

Re: Zenner continues to get attention
yeah, ZZ was never supposed to make the final 53. Never a plan in that offense, I think it's time he got a chance. I may be biased though. 😉Originally posted by RochJack69 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Zenner continues to get attention
Looks like the Lions could use Weineke. Seems to be a problem pro or amateur, is to hang to long with the nonperforming starter.Originally posted by Jackedforlife View Post
You're right, couldn't have done any worse. Bad place to be, poor organization in my estimation.
Johnson's advantage, is that the Cardinals planned to make him a part of the offense from the start.Leave a comment:

Re: Zenner continues to get attention
Glad Bell is back, 10 for 16yds in 2 games. You can't tell me zz would be that bad over 2 games, heck the venerable Ameer only has 59 yds. Granted he has done it in 13 carries with 4.5 per, still for a team that stressed improvement running the ball they are failing miserably. Give ZZ the ball, if he goes 10 for 20 yds in a game I'll quit complaining.
side note, David Johnson had a great day for the cardinals.Leave a comment:

Re: Zenner continues to get attention
My allegiance to the Vikings is mostly a matter of geography. So, I think I can cheer for the Lions. I've done it before -- when I was a kid, SDSU's Wayne Rasmussen was an outstanding defensive back for the Lions 1964-1972). Go Zach!Leave a comment:

Re: Zenner continues to get attention
@OneWestSports Congrats to former Houston Texan and SDSU Jackrabbit Bryan Witzmann on signing with the Saints Practice Roster.
*I'm aware this is the Zach Zenner thread, but didn't feel like starting a new thread. Plus, Bryan was a big part of why Zach ran for 2,000 yards in 3 consecutive seasons
