Derrick Barnes tonight

One man wrecking crew.

He is one of the toughest guys we had. The bull shit targeting call cost Purdue 2 wins. After he was ejected, Rutgers was able to run the ball in the middle much easier

Thought he and Blough both looked really solid. Happy for them.

Through 2 preseason games, it looks like Blough may now have the inside track to the backup QB role.

He could end up starting sooner than later. Tavai sucks.

Looked at 2 different depth charts. One had him 4th at one of the ILB spots. The other (ESPN) had him 2nd.

A lot of articles the last few days from Lions websites praising Derrick. His only knock so far is a foot injury at the beginning of camp/practice

Thought he would have been a good fit for the Colts. Not sure what his measurables were, but he just gets around the ball and makes plays.

From what I gleaned they were impressive athletic measurables. Biggest knock, physically, was his height at only 6'0" or so.

He tested very well at the Purdue pro day. Probably his only knock was being close to 6'0, although I thought he was 6'1". Like you said he gets to the ball.
