It's been about 3 weeks since I've written anything. Not that I haven't wanted to, but there has been a lot of great articles written about the Lions from some new writers as well as some of the wily veterans out there. I will admit part of it has been some ...Published on: 7th March, 2010
I'm going to say this once: Eric Berry is not worth being taken with the second pick. I understand how good it might be to have both he and Louis Delmas as the dynamic-duo of safeties. But Berry, as highly rated as he is, isn't the answer for the Lions secondary ...Published on: 25th February, 2010
If the Lions are serious about wanting to upgrade the running game, they should make a strong play for Brian Westbrook. In my opinion, when he's healthy, he is the most potent and dangerous weapon on the field. He can beat you in so many ways: As a running back, a ...Published on: 24th February, 2010
Here we are, a week before the NFL Combine. And what do Lions fans have to look forward to? If we are taking defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh or if we are taking defensive tackle Gerald McCoy with the second pick of the NFL draft. Kind of makes your heart go "pitter-patter," doesn't ...Published on: 14th February, 2010
In the recent past, a Detroit Lions fan's favorite time of year was the offseason. Mainly for two reasons: They don't have to endure sloppy play and losing seasons. Speculation on who they should draft and what needs to be done to turn the team around. Enough. What will it take to ...Published on: 30th December, 2009
Matt Millen left both the offensive and defensive lines decimated in the 10 years he was with the Lions. Granted, his first draft teased the Lion fan base in 2001 when two offensive line players were taken, left tackle Jeff Backus and center Dominic Raiola, in the first two rounds. ...Published on: 29th December, 2009
Maybe it's because it's the holidays and I am just being melancholy about my team. Perhaps it could be that I am being defensive in the criticism as of late of the Detroit Lions. I know that I have written some rather scathing articles myself in regards to players, coaches and ...Published on: 23rd December, 2009
With the Lions playing for nothing more than "moral" victories, I took a few minutes (actually this is all on the fly) to lay out three simple and basic steps the Lions need to achieve to become a better football team. With that in mind, I'm not going to get into ...Published on: 25th November, 2009
After watching the highlights of the Lions-Browns game, I am even more impressed with the way Matthew Stafford has blossomed into an NFL quarterback. He has the potential to become the best Lions quarterback since Bobby Layne. His tough as nails bravado in avoiding the trainers during Cleveland’s ill-advised timeout ...Published on: 6th November, 2009
I get the rare opportunity to write about two teams that have been a part of many football seasons for me. As many of you know, I am a born and raised Michigander (why that isn't Michiganian is beyond me) and moved to the Seattle area in 1990, when I became a ...
