Diesel07 0 Posted January 1, 2007 came out of zone coverage to make the openfield and game saving tackle against Tony Romo? Oh, that's right, #50, Ernie Sims III.... The guy who wouldnt amount to anything in the NFL because he had a history of concussions. The same guy people laughed at when the Lions drafted him at #9 overall. The same guy who is #2 in total tackles among all rookies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diesel07 0 Posted January 1, 2007 Ya, i love the intensity he plays with. I miss him at FSU. I remember this board was laughing when they picked him and there were only handful of Lions' fans backing him. The Lions just needs a few more pieces on defense.

Mack 1 6 Posted January 2, 2007 Whoa, slow down fellas. One good rookie season does not a superstar make. Let's wait another year or three before we order the yellow blazer for Canton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t.j 35 Posted January 2, 2007 So Ernie Sims led the Lions to 3-13? Way to go, Ernie! Hey, how about that Michael Huff? Sure, the Raiders have no QB and no offense, but they sure have a good pass defense! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, the Raiders have no QB and no offense, but they sure have a good pass defense! that's why it's called a team sport. of the many holes the lions need to fill, at least that's not one of them anymore. so it's a good thing.
