Delmas looking for love for the defense
Posted by on August 2, 2011 – 3:16 pm“Let me tell you. Hearing the fans on the practice field makes you think that it’s game time. It’s nothing but fun, a lot of enthusiasm coming out of them. It’s a lot of energy. We feed off their energy. Just hearing them out here is very exciting. You have no choice but to think about games.
“But you know what … don’t let me get started on the fans cheering so loud for the offense. I mean, I very much appreciate all of their cheering, but everything has to be about the offense.
“If we get a pass deflection … I know it doesn’t look as good, but it’s a point on our side. So at that point, cheer for it. But at the end of the day, I know the defense is all dogs. So at the end of the day, we get treated like a dog, we play like a dog.
“If you look at guys like Kyle, me and maybe Levy, you have no choice but to think that this defense is full of hard-headed dogs who won’t listen to anybody. Just want to get to the ball.”

Delmas is the staple stone of our secondary. Without him we(the Lions) get burned! Delmas has saved us so many times so far. Who knows how many more to come!

DELMAS WHAT THE? NOT ALL FANS ARE ALL ABOUT THE OFFENSE. I LOVE WHEN MY BOYS IN BLUE STICK SOMEONE FOR A LOSS,OR PULL ONE OUT OF THE AIR FROM THE OPPOSING OFFENSE. I THINK I GET MORE EXCITED THAN A TOUCHDOWN. BUT WHATS UP WITH THE DOG STUFF. YOU BEEN HANGING AROUND VICK OR WHAT. LUV YA BRO BUT YOUR WORDS WERE A BIT OUT OF CONTEXT. ALMOST SOUNDS AS IF YOU ARE SLAMMING YOUR OWN DEFENSE? NOW I KNOW THAT’S NOT THE CASE RIGHT..DELMAS JUST DO WHAT YOU DO I CANT WAIT FOR OPENING DAY. I LIVE IN FLA AND HAVE TICKETS FOR THE BUCKS GAME 50 YARD LINE 2ND ROW YOU KNOW IT VISTOR SIDE. WILL BE GOING APE SHIT FOR MY BOYS FROM THE BIG D.

Delmas i gotta tell u i love watching the defensive side of the ball way more than the offense. The dirty work is the best part of the game. Defense has the ability to change the entire game. You force a turnover and the whole momentum swings in your teams favor. U get a sack and the qb thinks twice about going deep. Defense is just boss and thats whats gonna win us games this year.

Defense wins games,. offense sells tickets. We love those times the defense stands up, or recovers a fumble or intercepts a pass. We love the defense.

I love you delmas! Kalamazoo native right here! I loved that you went to the lions!

Keep in mind that Delmas is talking about the fans at practice cheering at our offense practicing against our defense. Everyone cheers when our offense makes a play against our defense. Thats the entire context of what hes saying.

I’m all about a nasty D ! I enjoy watching you guys way more than those O guys!

You guys are so tough we figure you dont need the cheering. We figure the Offensive guys with the big egos need the backslapping.
Cannot wait to see you guys take down Aaron Rodgers and his damn championship belt celebration move. Stick it to em this year guys.
Got all the faith in the world in ya!

No love for the defense? C’mon Louis, you’re kidding, right? The “Pride of our team” is the DEFENSE.

The Roar has been restoard! Now if only I could decide who’s jersey I’m gonna buy at the game.

I’m so damn jacked up about the defense of the Ly Dawgs this year. I have been a loyal ass fan for 10 plus years, ever since the lions had Ron Rivers at RB. I have been disappointed for so long now, but I have stuck with my Boys every year and every draft. I’m geeked up about the Lion defense especially the front 7, who are essentially the best in the league. Suh, thank you for being you and Schwartz, thank you for being competent.

We have a lot of exciting players joining our D, but Delmas is still our heart and soul! Nothing more exciting than a great D! I really get pumped when I see delmas come out of the tunnel before a game! Can’t wait!

As a die hard life long Lions fan let me assure you that I’m more excited about the defense than I am the offense. Yes, I do expect the offense to shred nfl defenses this season. But, the defense is what excites me about this teams potential in the future. With Delmas, Levy and Suh leading their respective groups, I know this Lions defense has the potential to be a top ten defense in the league this year. I live in Virginia now but I know I’ll catch at least one game in person this year and will do so for many years to come. Let’s go get it!!

something i learned along time ago as a former player to now a little league coach…….offense wins game’s….. defense wins championship’s!!!!! tear em up lion’s!!!!!!!!!
