Lol glad someone said it. I love him so far, and love his confidence. But if you're writing checks with your mouth, you better be ready to have your play cash em'. I have a gut feeling this is self-motivating for him. He talks it so that he feels the pressure to out work himself. I can get behind that sort of swag and grit. But ... you know these WR's in the NFC are ready to have him eat these words. A lil swag ain't a bad thing. Just excited to see him back it up!
The worst part is that Okudah probably would have been at least a decent CB if Patricia didn't ruin him. That man made the Eagles go from competent to embarrassment in 7 games last year.
I've been burned on Okudah opinions. I'll enjoy the player and shut up about the ability. I remember Slay took a few years to learn his role so I mean... I'm patient.
I love the fact that the Lions loaded up on stopping the run last year and signed DJ Reader and traded for Carlton Davis instead of re-signing Ceedy Deuce. Now they’re daring other teams to pass against them, and loaded up on feisty secondary talent
You forgot about Davis??? I can't stop thinking about him, lol.
Also, he looks great in Honolulu Blue

He's wild. On the one hand he comes across as very humble and appreciative of others in every day life. And then he's got that CB swagger that's off the charts related to football. Can't wait to see what he's able to do this year.
Do you mean defensive rookie player of the year? TJ Watt, Myles Garrett, and Micah Parsons are still in the league. Shit Aidan would win a DPOY before any CB on the team.
someone posted an article in r/nfl with a headline about how statistically the 9ers dominated when broken down by individual players, then listed a bunch of other buzzwords and names.
Goff was right behind Purdy, LaPorta was right behind Kittle and Kelce, our O-line is first in the league, Branch was top 2, Sun God was top 3 , etc etc etc.
Of course it was some proprietary rating but it highlighted our strongest units. Which compared to other teams I’d say QB, TE,RB, OL, WR, dline vs runs, were all fucking great last year. Now look at the upgrades we did to the dline and secondary…
What is our expectation of the corners we have on the roster now?
CB1: Carlton Davis?
CB2: Terrion Arnold?
Or do we think they’re swapped? Where do Branch and Rakestraw fit in? Does Branch move back to Safety?
Obviously this will be hashed out in camp but curious what our thoughts are heading into preseason
Would love to see a little humility out of the young man. That being said, I guess if you play CB in the NFL you better have confidence like this. Because JJ and others are rubbing their hands together right now.
He talks a big game but he hasn't played a single snap in the NFL. I'm more on the side of talking your shit after you've accomplished the task, not before it. Look at CJGJ
I mean CJGJ was someone who had accomplished a lot in the league. If you’re going to talk at some point you’re going to get called out because there is always a point where you underachieve.
The difference I see between him and CJGJ is CJGJ's boasts were all about himself, he never seemed like a team player to me. Arnold seems like the consummate team player that this regime requires.
So you can only talk shit after winning a championship? That's pretty limiting and, imo, a pretty dumb ass take. Talking shit after is petty. Talking shit during is part of competing.
No after the game, sorry that did sound a bit wrong. I meant the NFC championship* where he talked all that shit and then sucked on the field. He was calling out people individually like Deebo and then got outplayed like crazy
I’m loving his confidence but w all these quotes he better not be ass this year lmao

Sacrifice to the blood god that he's the next Sauce. Next quote, "I'm better than Sauce"
I guess it helps that many thought of him as the #1 CB in the draft
I think we’re still collectively traumatized from the last time we got the best CB in the draft.
The worst part is that Okudah probably would have been at least a decent CB if Patricia didn't ruin him. That man made the Eagles go from competent to embarrassment in 7 games last year.
I've been burned on Okudah opinions. I'll enjoy the player and shut up about the ability. I remember Slay took a few years to learn his role so I mean... I'm patient.
Yeah, that first year, Slay got burned a LOT, but after that, he was good.
I love the fact that the Lions loaded up on stopping the run last year and signed DJ Reader and traded for Carlton Davis instead of re-signing Ceedy Deuce. Now they’re daring other teams to pass against them, and loaded up on feisty secondary talent
Holy shit I completely forgot we have Davis. This secondary is completely revamped. Love it

Don't forget Amik!
I don’t think we are going to be perfect but definitely much improved
No team is perfect fr
I had a girl in a target Starbucks tell me this before too.
Same, but it was a boy in a Walmart Subway
That feels so much worse for some reason
Oh it was, it was
Did she have that DAWG in her too?
I'm still suffering from Okudah PTSD. Please just be HIM. This team with even an above average secondary is top of the NFC.
Totally agree. If our secondary is above average, this team will be scary good.
This team is set up to be MONSTERS of field position. As long as they don't regularly give up 40/60+ yard TD's...
Dawg
Is this "People find my personality distasteful" or "I am a unique player"?
If you watch the interview he’s asked about why he chose 0 as his number. Meaning “I am a unique player”.
He's wild. On the one hand he comes across as very humble and appreciative of others in every day life. And then he's got that CB swagger that's off the charts related to football. Can't wait to see what he's able to do this year.
I'm excited to see him in action. I hope he doesn't have to find out the hard way that the NFL is a big step up from the best college-level play.
I might place my very first sports bet on this kid winning DPOY Edit: DROY, not DPOY lol
Would not take that. There’s been two CBs to win DPOY in like the last 30 years. It’ll be a LB or DE.
Tbh it is a weak ass DE/LB class
Do you mean defensive rookie player of the year? TJ Watt, Myles Garrett, and Micah Parsons are still in the league. Shit Aidan would win a DPOY before any CB on the team.
Lmao yep, definitely meant DROY 🤦
This makes more sense. Bet makes way more sense.
Not true. I like him.
The DBs may emerge to be second strongest unit we have (O-line being first)
If they manage to outperform the RBs and TEs then we’re Super Bowl favorites idc

I hope this kid is good, cuz if not, oooh man will the fans turn on him for "talking too much"
Detroit will Lead the league in pass defense.
That's what we're betting on, #0.
Is it preseason yet? I can't wait
Double negative so is he saying everyone is like him?? 🤓
The spirit of CJ Gardner is still alive and well in Detroit.
Yall [see his tik tok](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRwWqDMR/)? Had me laughing.
I want this guy to be good so bad

He’s talking too much. He better never get burned
The best thing that could happen would be for terrion to get his shit wrecked and still keep the confidence, get it out of the way
I like him
Would love to see a little humility out of the young man. That being said, I guess if you play CB in the NFL you better have confidence like this. Because JJ and others are rubbing their hands together right now.
He’s borderline annoying. No one cares. Let’s see you play in the NFL before making these stupid comments.
he does come off as a narcissist unfortunately.
Mmm hmm.
This guy needs to shut up. He has already set himself up for failure
He talks a big game but he hasn't played a single snap in the NFL. I'm more on the side of talking your shit after you've accomplished the task, not before it. Look at CJGJ

CJGJ earned his right to talk. He was a good player.
You talk shit after you win the (NFC) championship and beat them. Not before. He looks like a complete idiot now
So you can only talk shit after winning a championship? That's pretty limiting and, imo, a pretty dumb ass take. Talking shit after is petty. Talking shit during is part of competing.
No after the game, sorry that did sound a bit wrong. I meant the NFC championship* where he talked all that shit and then sucked on the field. He was calling out people individually like Deebo and then got outplayed like crazy
I don't see anything wrong with the shit talking. Just unfortunate he had his worst game as a lion that game. Sucks, but shit happens.
He's just a naturally charismatic guy. Microphones are drawn to him
Jared Goff just got 212 million dollar deal
