Looks like Brice is getting pulled after just a 4-min. stint. Playing behind Springer in the rotation is kind of a slap. Will Hardy must be on Brice about his defense.

He needs to pick up the effort. He also needs to make it look like he's picking up the effort... add some fake hustle.
 
I mean he basically skewered him in the presser last night. Brice has a nonchalant attitude on defense that coaches loathe. Part of it is processing imo. Part of it is care factor. There were a couple plays last night that I was like "oh that's gonna come up in film". He's like Collin on defense but without the try hard moments. He still deserves PT tho.

I'm not blaming Hardy for not being high on him....but as we know, there are some players who seem to have immunity from Hardy (or at least appear to at moments) and others who do not. It's okay for coaches to have preferences, just saying it's quite obvious that Brice is not one of them based on this season. Hardy isn't always hard on players who have a non-chalant attitude and is also the only coach I've heard openly admit to not prioritizing defense.

All of this can change, of course, but pretty obvious where Brice stands at the moment.
 
Nice easy no stress loss
 
DET's depth is so good, one of the main reason I did not think they were a big tank threat this season.
Ya I was never worried about them.
The team that I was worried about that surprised me by being no threat at all is Portland. They are much better than I thought they would be
 
Cody with the nice drive and Lefty finish for the and one!
