Yardbarker: Dan Orlovsky

Hank Poteat Hasn't Learned Much in Eight Years

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:06:36 -0500

A Lions player held claim to what was the most embarrassing rule oversight by a player last season with Dan Orlovsky's scramble out of the back end of his own end zone for a safety, so in a way maybe it's fitting that one of the more inane moves seen on the field this year would propel them to a victory. At the end of a Browns-Lions game that proved to be far more enthralling than anyone expected, Cleveland held a 37-31 lead when Matt Stafford launched a Hail Mary that was intercepte...

Matt Stafford’s Private Workout “Flawless”

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:02:31 -0500

Does this mean the Lions will draft him? Much remains to be seen in the next two coming weeks. MUCH. Why? Because Denver’s owner has now stated that he’s ready to move Cutler. I guess this means I’m going to still have to beat this dead horse to death again… WE NEED CUTLER. We need someone with some credibility, someone with some experience, someone who has gotten some wins. This is not a place for a rookie QB to cut his teeth. Get HIM! And perhaps that’s the...

Texans Sign Ex-Lion Orlovsky as Schaub's Backup

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 19:58:33 -0500

The Texans wasted no time acquiring their second biggest need this off season: a backup quarterback. A day after locking up defensive end Antonio Smith, the Texans found Schaub's backup. After visiting with free agent Patrick Ramsey about the vacancy, the Texans decided to go a different direction by signing ex-Lions QB Dan Orlovsky to a three-year deal. I've got no complaints. The Texans needed a guy with experience and Orlovsky certainly has that. Think what you want about his ability but consider the fact that he was playing for the Lions. That said, the jury's still out on him in my opinion. Overall I'd say it was a good pickup.Now with the current moves they've made, you have to wonder what their plans are for the rest of free agency. Do they go after a bruiser running back like Ruben Droughns or Derrick Ward to offset Slaton's scat back-type style, or do they stand pat and wait for the draft? Until then I'd have to say so far, so good Texans.

The Value Meter: Is Orlovsky a true starter in ‘09?

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 08:59:56 -0500

Eight touchdowns, eight interceptions, zero wins and a bonehead safety later, Dan Orlovsky believes that testing the free agent market could land him a job as a starter. Fantasy CPR weighs in.

Orlovsky To Test The Free Agent Waters

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:51:51 -0500

Rather than sign a contract to play backup to Dante Culpepper, former UConn Huskies and Detroit Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky plans to see what’s out there on the free agent “They made an offer, but I’m going to test the market and see what’s out there for me,” Orlovsky said Monday in ...

Lions Routed Again, One Loss From Immortality

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:04:27 -0500

And then there was one game left. With a now typically dysfunctional effort bereft of any significant quality, the Lions were stomped by the Saints, 42-7, brining a once proud (well, fairly proud) franchise within a single loss of becoming the first team in history to finish an NFL season 0-16. ...

NFL Week 8 Pick Suggestions

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 13:09:15 -0500

Where picking the Lions with the points continues to happen for no apparent reason. 5. Detroit Lions (+7 1/2) vs. Washington Redskins Should the Redskins absolutely destroy the Lions? Yes. Will they? Probably. But the Lions are on a 2 straight cover streak for me behind Dan Orlovsky and I'm sticking with them. 4. New Orleans Saints (+3 1/2) vs. San Diego Chargers in London I think this is a toss up game with both teams still not being healthy at all. I'm taking the Saints simply than...

You Have Failed At Life

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:34:29 -0500

This is a particularly early-week entry for my weekly feature You Have Failed At Life, mostly due to the complete and utter incompetence of this week's feature. See video below:

Yup, that would be an NFL quarterback not paying attention and accidentally running out of the back of the end zone for a safety. For those of you not in the know, a safety is wroth two points. Also for those of you not in the know, the Vikings won this game 12-10. Yes, that safety ended up being the difference in this game.
