Baker Mayfield Wants Detroit Lions Ceedy Duce to Watch More Film

Safety Ceedy Duce of the Detroit Lions talked about the Tampa Bay Bucs wide receivers unit after practice last week.

According to Gardner-Johnson, “aside from that Tampa group, this group is probably one of the better groups we done faced all year,” as reported by the Detroit News. “Tampa is a great team if you give them a good quarterback.” That’s a fantastic group: Russell Gage, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans. I actually played against them.

Before facing Detroit on Sunday in the divisional round of the playoffs, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield spoke with the media about Duce’s viewpoint.

“Given that he brought up Russell Gage, I doubt he has actually seen a movie. Although we adore Russell, he hasn’t contributed a snap to our team this year. Mayfield remarked, “I’m excited to see him; he must be buzzing from all the preseason stuff the media is talking about, but he didn’t play our first game.” He’s been a valuable member of every team he’s played for for a while, so in my opinion, he’s a pretty good player. He’s a talented player, but he needs to watch a few more movies.

Here’s a rundown of all the Lions news from Wednesday.

The Detroit News’s Nolan Bianchi covered an NFL Draft promotion event at Ford Field. The league’s officiating, which has come under increased scrutiny and criticism this season, was defended by Commissioner Roger Goodell.

This coming weekend, James Houston intends to play the Buccaneers. This week marks the end of the gifted linebacker’s 21-day practice window, so Detroit’s front office needs to make a choice.

Arron Wikaryasz, a Lions supporter who was captured on camera at Ford Field sobbing after the Lions defeated the Rams, was interviewed by MLive’s Kory Woods.

The Free Press’s Dave Birkett concluded his movie review by emphasizing why the Lions’ rematch with the Buccaneers won’t be easy.

In his most recent mailbag, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News looks at potential extensions for Jared Goff’s contract and speculates about potential replacements for Detroit’s coordinators in the event that they leave in the offseason.
