Detroit Lions TE Michael Roberts hopes Sunday’s touchdown is the ‘first of tons’ “December 17 Youth Frank Ragnow Jersey , 2016.”Ask Michael Roberts when his last football touchdown was prior to his first NFL score on Sunday against the 49ers and he’ll tell you the exact date. The Toledo Rockets, led by star running back Kareem Hunt, dropped their season finale to Appalachian State 31-28. But red zone phenom Michael Roberts kept them in the game early, grabbing a curl route and shaking two defenders on his way to the end zone. 638 days later, Roberts finally found the end zone again—he’s been counting the days... well, sort of. “To be honest, I knew from a year and then I just added from there,” Roberts admitted to the media on Wednesday.It has been a rough go in the time between touchdowns. Roberts was selected by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft, a move that was met with some healthy skepticism. Though the Lions went into the draft with a need at tight end, the defensive line had remained unaddressed through three rounds, and a few popular players, including local product Ryan Glasgow, were still on the board. Others preferred Jake Butt or George Kittle as a tight end. So a lot was expected of Roberts in his rookie year. As a player coming off a 16-touchdown senior year, many were hoping he’d be an immediate red zone threat, especially with the struggles surrounding Eric Ebron. But his rookie season didn’t go as planned. Roberts played in about 15 snaps per game and was mostly used as a blocker or decoy, two roles he wasn’t all that familiar with. The man with gargantuan hands would only end up cradling a four catches in 2017 for a mere 46 yards. Even worse Womens Graham Glasgow Jersey , his season ended with a team-given suspension for missing a team meeting. Things looked even more dreary going into 2018. The Lions’ tight end room was purged, leaving Roberts as the only holdover from the year prior. It was his opportunity to break out, but the preseason left fans wanting more. Roberts only had two catches for 29 yards in the exhibition season, and the rest of the tight ends didn’t look much better.“I felt kind of quiet in the preseason,” Roberts said. “I felt like I hadn’t done much.” But Roberts is hoping Sunday’s touchdown—his first catch of the season—is “the beginning of something” now that he’s gotten the proverbial monkey off his back and realized a dream come true in San Francisco.“(It’s) kind of a weight lifted, but really just a moment I’ve been dreaming about,” Roberts said. “I dream about that moment so many times, and just the way it happened it was ideal for me.” Roberts has a long way to go from here. He now only has five career catches and eight targets in 16 games played. He’s clearly still working on developing a chemistry with Matthew Stafford, and nothing is guaranteed. But Roberts is hopeful Sunday’s touchdown is just the tip of the iceberg. “The first of tons, that’s what I hope.” While the Detroit Lions’ overall performance against the Chicago Bears was nowhere near acceptable, there were some serious silver linings to take solace in. Here’s a look at the highest graded Lions player on each side of the ball, according to Pro Football Focus.OffenseIt was an ugly day on offense against the Bears, but the two best performers were their skill-position players. Theo Riddick—the Lions’ new Golden Tate—had an impressive day, Since the trade, Riddick has caught 13 of his 15 targets. While Riddick isn’t alone taking over Tate’s production, he did lead all NFL running backs with 13 snaps from the slot last week http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/t.j.-lang-jersey-authentic , per PFF.It’s probably pretty surprising to see a couple of offensive linemen among the top five, considering the Lions gave up six sacks, but those aren’t exactly great grades for Taylor Decker or Graham Glasgow. As for Matthew Stafford, according to Brett Whitefield from PFF, he is having one of the worst streaks of his career. He has graded below 60 in three straight games (57.1 for this game). His overall grade in the past three weeks has been just 52.5, which ranks him 28th among NFL quarterbacks. His accuracy was the cause of a lot of problems against the Bears. PFF’s “adjusted completion percentage” for Stafford was only 62.5, which was the second worst among quarterbacks in Week 10.DefenseFor the third straight week, Damon Harrison has been the highest graded Lions player on defense. This week, Harrison led all Week 10interior defenders with six run stops. So maybe don’t be so hard on yourself, “Snacks.” But look at the rest of that defensive line! Ezekiel Ansah barely made the cut in terms of minimum snaps (he had exactly 15), but his high grade is based on the three pressures he created in limited opportunities. Elsewhere, both A’Shawn Robinson and Da’Shawn Hand continued their impressive season. Note how all five of these defensive players graded out better than anyone on offense. Though Ansah isn’t likely to be on the team next year, the performance of the other three defensive linemen is certainly promising for 2019. But we can’t talk about the Lions’ defensive performance against the Bears without talking about the secondary. I’ll let Whitefield break the bad news: Detroit’s secondary is badly broken. Expect it to be a huge priority this upcoming offseason.
