The Lions have a pair of defensive stars missing OTAs.In what can only be a coincidence Matthew Stafford Jersey , both players could make a strong case for being underpaid.Via Dave Birkett of the , Lions cornerback Darius Slay and defensive tackle Damon Harrison were missing from the voluntary OTAs.Slay signed a four-year, $48 million extension in July 2016, and is scheduled to make $12 million this year, with another $250,000 in per-game bonuses. That’s good money Da’Shawn Hand Jersey , but not on par with the latest contracts.Harrison has two years left on the deal the Lions inherited from the Giants. He’s scheduled to make $6.75 million this year.“Right now we are — it’s voluntary as that part of the season is concerned,” Lions coach Matt Patricia said. “Those two guys are not here. You will not see them at the practice today, but we fully expect that this time of the year, guys that are here, guys that are not. That’s totally fine. We’re working with the guys that are out there.”That’s kind of what Patricia has to say, but it seems apparent that two of his most important players are something less than gruntled at the moment. Now that it has been nearly two days since the Detroit Lions announced the hiring of Darrell Bevell as their new offensive coordinator Jarrad Davis Jersey , fans have started to buy in. I’ve seen more and more fans (myself included) do the research on Bevell and understand why Matt Patricia made this choice. Fans generally have a positive outlook on Bevell, with over 70 percent of our readership giving the hire a B or higher.But just like we must no overreact to the news in the immediate—when a lot of people weren’t happy with the hire—we can’t let ourselves buy in too much. We tend to talk ourselves into moves made by the Lions, whether it be a draft pick, a coaching hire or a free agency signing. It’s in our nature to accept choices made by the Lions, because we’re fans and all he have is hope. However, it’s important to try and stay as grounded as possible Teez Tabor Jersey , because there is no guarantee this is the right move, no matter how hard we try to justify it. So today’s Question of the Day is:What is your biggest concern about the Darrell Bevell hire?My answer:His ability (inability?) to stay modern and adjust. While tracking Bevell’s quotes throughout the years, he painted a picture of a coach that has grown since he entered the offensive coordinator foray as a West Coast offense kind of guy. However, quotes from Seahawks fans paint a different picture.Going back to our article with Seahawks blog Field Gulls, this sentence stood out as particularly troubling:Flash forward to today, and when Lions Wire did a similar article collaboration with Seahawks Wire Kenny Golladay Jersey , the same concern popped up:Now to be clear, I’m not asking Bevell to be one of these new coaches that only passes the ball. I truly believe you can build a steady, productive offense without constantly going five-wide and airing it out. But if Bevell’s philosophy is to simply run old-school, nondescript football, I’m not sure that will hold up. There still needs to be some sort of element of surprise and adoption of new NFL rules that heavily benefit the offense. Ultimately, I’m still feeling pretty good about the hire Jalen Reeves-Maybin Jersey , but there is that voice in the back of my head wondering if Detroit can really pull off the series of seasons in which the Seahawks were among the best offenses for four years straight.
