Topic: Beckett Doing Well With Lions

[Thundering In MD]

Yet, after the first two rounds of cuts, and no pressing needs for inside linebacking depth, Beckett is still with the Lions heading into the third preseason game. And after only seeing 16 defensive snaps in the first two exhibition contests, he's primed for a sizable increase in playing time as he auditions for a spot in this league, even if the most likely route will be through the practice squad.

Beckett barely played against the Steelers last weekend, but in his limited opportunities, he consistently found himself in good position. He's also been a regular contributor on special teams, while faring well in those drills on the practice field. Maybe that's not all that surprising for a player who racked up nearly 10 tackles per game the past two seasons at Marshall.

?It?s hard not to notice him,? defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn stated. ?Fast, quick, aggressive. The plays that he came in the (Steelers) game and made, man, he showed out.?

I think what he meant is every time we post one of these so and so is doing well in the NFL threads, the next day there is a post how they were just cut from the team.  That's how I took it, anyway.  It just happened the other day as well.
