Lacey Signs With Lions

[CS Colts Fan 0]

Guess the coaches didn't see anything the liked in Lacey

Jacob Lacey - DB - Lions

Lions signed CB Jacob Lacey to a one-year contract.

The Lions have found a potential replacement for Eric Wright in a 24-year-old who has already made 27 career starts, but was also benched for a five-game stretch by the NFL's worst team last season. Lacey is serviceable against the run, but has been one of the league's most frequent burn victims the past few seasons. He became an unrestricted free agent after being non-tendered by the Colts, and had drawn no other known interest on the open market.

Hahaha!

That bio is ridiculous! I hope Lacey doesn't read it; it would destroy his self-esteem...

[GoDeep 25]

He looked promising early, but well, I am not sad on this one.

[deadman 62]

Yeah!! Great news!

[Mrfox 3]

Watch him be great in Detroit.....

[Boiler_Colt 1,431]

And I thought their secondary was bad already..

[shakedownstreet 2,085]

maybe he wouldn't have been so bad if he wasn't coached to play 10 yards off the receiver

That was cold...TG....too much....too real .. :news:

[oldunclemark 2,434]

Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers are likin' this move

[Mr.Debonair 1,722]

Watch him be great in Detroit.....

Be Great? Lol Good Riddance kid. He will only b remember for giving Braylon a 15 yard cushion on the play before they kicked the game winning FG in the playoff game against the Jets

[MIColtsFan 45]

He stands a chance to do well for the Lions. He used to be pretty good at grabbing some pics and breaking up plays, if he stays healthy!

[jemack 16]

And the was for 3rd and 2

[Horse Shoe Heaven 184]

WHOOOOOOOOOW A little surprising!!!!!!!!!!

Thank god!!!! I don't know if i have ever seen the back of somebody's jersey as much as his, as the camera is following him & the receiver into the endzone. Definitely replaceable!!

[hawkeyes 5]

Heres a BIG THANK YOU for the Lions!

I will bet good money he wont!

[CR91 6,350]

not the great jacob lacey. how will our team survive?

[Captain Americolt 0]

i remember Lacey had a good stretch of games to end the season. I think the cover two scheme and him always playing 10 yards off the reciever made him look bad. Im not saying hes good, but i think he COULD do well in detroit.

[Jaric 44]

Looks like we're moving Lacey Island (where everyone is open!) to the NFC North.

Kinda like Tim Jennings?lol

[Mrfox 3]

Well this will be a good test with the arguements/discussions that were made last year was it the coaching or the player.

Curiousity will have me checking in on the lions from time to time.

Here I thought the Lions were actually trying to improve. Probably just camp fodder for them, their secondary is already bad, but I would take their worst corner over Lacey any day of the week.

[Coffeedrinker 3,537]

Not that he's been great, but do you mean the Tim Jennings who has started 28 of 32 regular season and both playoff games games since being signed by the Bears and just signed a new contract with those same Bears before he became a free agent?

They must have watched the film.

I would start Jennings without hesitation over Lacey.

[GoColts8818 4,554]

Shouldn't this be banished to NFL General with all the Peyton threads using the same logic that Lacey is no longer a Colt?

[Jaric 44]

I'm guessing after next season it won't fit in NFL general either. (HEY OHHH!)

[UndecidedFrog 1]

Or kept here in the Colts section along the same lines as why certain Peyton threads are still here, even though both are no longer Colts.

I don't have a problem with it staying here but I've seen many Manning threads moved to NFL general and when asked why they were moved it was stated because Manning is no longer a Colt. So does that rule only apply to Peyton Manning or does it apply to all former Colts?

[Coffeedrinker 3,537]

That's not the point. Most fans on this forum were claiming Jennings was the worst CB ever when he left. yet he's been solid in Chicago.

[Andy 6]

darn...I was really starting to like him and I saw potential in him if he played the nickel back cornerback spot. Hope he does well in Detroit!

I think it applies to all former Colts, and that you have caught the mods mid move.

They have a lot of Peyton threads to move.

[Warhorse 38]

If they saw something special in him, they would have signed him for more than one year.

Luck fans just don't want Peyton to hang around. ;)

LOL he'll be benched after the first Packers game

[GAColtfan 0]

Man, and I thought Peyton leaving was going to be hard on me

[Corndog 10]

And I thought their secondary was bad already..

Well you can blame this on megatron, they don't have any money to fix the issue. I would hope for their sake he is going to be a backup, otherwise the Lions will have the same problem they had last year.

Another reason to like the Lions because his playing suuuuuuuucked most of the time.
