Packers vs Lions Discussion Thread

Makes you wonder what the poor bastard did. It's hard to imagine it's just his on-the-field work. He seemed like a reasonably hard-enough worker.

Did he try to bang MLF's wife? Did he express untoward political opinions? Was he not masculine-seeming enough? Jayzuz, if the guy can play, play him. Surely he's a better tackle than Rolled Royce is a guard.

Don't know what happened, but Stenavich had this to say about Nijman right before the season started.

“Right now, he’s a backup tackle for us,” Stenavich said Thursday. “That’s where he’s at and football is a very competitive sport and some guys rise to that competition and some guys don’t, so that’s basically what I have to say about that.”

For a while I thought maybe he just got beat out by Rasheed Walker. But the fact that they've started Royce Newman in games when the presumably could have moved Tom to LG and put Nijman at RT suggests there's more to it than that.

Maybe he had a garbage offseason. Where he came back out of shape.

I don’t know what, but he didn’t give 100. That’s for sure.
