the Detroit Lions have some redeeming to do hello everyone my name is Derek and welcome to Detroit Lions Syndicate if you're this is your first time here we talk all things Detroit Lions and we make videos almost every day so subscribe to the YouTube channel if that sounds like your thing hit the notification Bell for notifications of the video listen a lot of you all are being nice to Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell this video I'm not gonna go off too much but I'm I'm gonna I'm going to express my irritation the Detroit Lions decided to wave injured kicker Austin Seibert now you might be like well Derek what is the problem here the problem is that we had a reliable kicker when Austin Seibert was on IR to end the year his name is Riley Patterson we cut him in favor of Austin Seibert who mind you has not been doing well for the Detroit Lions and now he's in the unemployment line now here's the thing here's why I'm feeling some type of way about this cut because we signed a guy we brought in a guy to kick for us four kickers we signed one we brought this guy in and signed him the very same day and we cut cybert within a day of doing that so either cybert was really bad or this guy is really really good and now we're on already what our third kicker in five games so now we're in a situation where the Detroit Lions either made a good move by signing this guy and can redeem Letting Go Riley Patterson or they're going to look like fools two or three games from now now Rodrigo Blankenship is still on the market as far as I know former Colts kicker and he's probably better than Austin cyber so the Detroit Lions is tough because we cut a guy who was doing well I don't understand we don't get any linebackers in free agency we dropped the six six round linebacker I'm really starting to understand and he's just a kicker of have you seen the kicking wolves for the Detroit Lions have you seen how kickers can either win or cost you games have you seen that so if this guy comes in and he doesn't do his job you have one job do it right one job kick a ball through some uprights I'm not saying I could do it I'm saying that's your job that's your specialty you have one and maybe to tackle somebody if they are returning the football so we bring in a guy after cutting the guy we should have kept who is doing very well he's missed one field goal in Jacksonville Riley Patterson was money for us last year but we bring in we cut cyber we wave them that is a bad sign that's a bad I don't that's a bad sign and if this guy is horrible that's even worse because we had the guy we should I don't understand what this team is doing and yes I'm making a big deal out of a kicker now there was not going to be a video today the preview prediction Will Come Out Tomorrow but what are we doing here like you have a guy you cut him for a guy who end the season on injured reserve and Riley was already money fourth okay and we trying to win games right so am I overreacting Maybe I feel like I'm Justified though so we'll see how this guy is will he be in the long line of kickers that come and go for the Detroit Lions let's not uh let me just say this as well last year see this these kicking wolves they go back to last year remember how we had Ryan santoso this guy that guy we tied the Pittsburgh Steelers because we couldn't make a kick but I tell you what when this guy lines up for a 27-yard extra point that could either tie the game or make us lose and he misses if he misses then it's going to be a big deal then the good thing is Bagley our new kicker and now we don't have a backup kicker he made all four of his field goals last week playing for the Chicago Bears so that's a good sign that's a good sign but my issue is the thing I don't understand about this team what are they doing is why do you Austin cybered into the season on IR you bring in Riley Patterson money it's a battle Austin edges out Riley how how did he okay so now Riley who was money for you at the end of 2021 is off in Jacksonville who snatched him up immediately by the way I guarantee you cyber will probably be out of the league for at least two or three weeks like I don't see this guy he already got the groin injury I don't see him being picked up so yeah I'm winning right now I'm showing my frustration you're not gonna get a fake me you're not gonna get anything like that this is how I'm feeling right now this guy was four for four last week that's a good sign hopefully he can hit some for us I think he had a longer 52 or something like that whatever it is he needs to hit kicks for us now I don't know like I said I'm probably overreacting because it's just a kicker there calm down right but that kicker we could we need to win games did you see did you see did you see the onside kick attempt from Everly did it it didn't even go five yards it only I don't know why the defender ran to grab it why did he he could have just let it sit there wasn't even gonna go to 10 yards anyway tomorrow is the preview prediction I I got to go to work I'll see you on the next video and as always go lions foreign
