Sione Vaki

And You need all that to catch an incoming Ivan Pace Jr. to give Jared Goff an extra second or two.

So I'm wondering if maybe Vaki has more of the 30% reps on offense, which is, you know, 20 snaps versus what we saw last week where he only got nine.

I will toss out one more for the Vikings.

That would be miles price who had a game changing return to start the game against the lions last year.

And that takes risking something and not worrying about if it blows up in your face, which is funny because your general manager blows draft picks like chewing gum and takes projects in Giovanni Manu, who was an egg.

And Sione Vaki.

Right.

It's like, what did we do? Hendon Hooker.

They didn't have any other solutions.

I'm not going to say Sione Vaki, their backup running back, is now that full solution, but he is pretty darn good as a pass protector.

Former safety at Utah.

Turned running

You certainly cringe when he shows up randomly on a Wednesday with a shoulder injury on the injury report.

Um, because the lines don't have much behind them.

Like Sione Vaki is a good, uh, role player.

He is not an RB one.

And, you know, that's what you want.

I, I think they're perfectly content with, with Vaki.

I don't think they're going to, I don't think they're going to feel the need to make a move.

You know, you still got Jacob sailors too, who you, you know, basically cut Craig Reynolds to keep.

So I think, uh, you know, maybe Jacob could get some, uh, some time on offense.

Maybe Vaki get some time, you know, uh, as, as the season wears on here, but.

I don't know.

I understand your concern.

run some, you know, like basically fullback stuff.

Like you pull your tight end and be like a fullback so that, you know, if someone has to stay in a block, it's a tight end, you know, and Vaki too, like, are we going to run 21 personnel so that we could keep Vaki in there? You, you, we try to get a mismatch and get Gibbs on the outside one-on-one with someone, you know, depending if it's a linebacker or nickel corner, whoever, you know, it's going to be one-on-one on the outside.

If they're going to continue to blitz like they want, or you get Gibbs on the outside, And, you know, are they going to line up? You know, they got all, don't put them next to the line scrimmage.

They got all these guys tied up to line scrimmage.

So you can't curse someone.

The

only roar alert that I feel like I've actually hit was Vaki.

Yeah, well, you were right on that one, so...

He is not going to be a good protector.

And then if you take him off the field completely, Sione Vaki is marginally better.

But he's not this great pass protector.

It takes a little out of you.

Gibbs has 134 carries for 620 yards and seven rushing touchdowns.

But the only other running back who has taken carries for the Lions this year has been Sion Vaki.

I might have butchered that name.

16 attempts for only 56 yards rushing.
