Anytime … I think you guys may have the sanest fans in the NFC North Just lost my patience over there with edge … he made me say fudgcicles LOL

I’ve taken some good poundings and still come up fighting, but throwing anything with a separated shoulder? OUCH!!! Tough kid, but gotta protect him! Thanks for your Lions spirit.
Roll Tide…er, I mean. Let’s Go LIONS!

@detroitfootsketball – Yes – I watch many Lions games, and agree that QB position is fine, including the backup.

But–depth chart isn’t the same as impact positions. Just cause we have 2 or 3 deep @fair quality doesn’t mean we have a #1 w/ impact. Are you feeling me on that?

We need LOTS more impact on the OL and one more on DL… plus Debs going to recruit us a Power Runner……just say AMEN.

I’m going to keep screaming my mantra until the Lions listen and execute this during the draft and included/ensuing trades.

Hey…look what I got done for the Wolverines. Call it Hokey, but my mantra and relentless badgering worked. ; )

No point mentioning it, but you can’t help wondering what this Lions team could do if they had Sanders in the backfield. I’ve been really impressed with Stafford–but I’m the kind who’s impressed with a QB that comes back to throw a TD after separating a shoulder. Hope he proves more durable for them in the long run. NFC North is a great division–would love to see the Lions really contend.

And their CB’s aren’t just a need…they’re a gaping hole.

They have some good weapons now but protecting Stafford has to be the #1 priority.

Corey Liuget could be available though- 6-2 /298, but may not be quick enough to cause the kind of chaos we need.

Ranked lower, but I really like J.J. Watt from Wisconsin, 6-5/ 290, tall enough to cause trouble for QB’s too. He will cause double teams and chaos due to strength, speed, size. This kids also got LOTS more room to filled-out too.

Bowers might be available, but the success of his knee surgery is not known.

Option 1: Julio Jones-The Megatron is not a for sure lock to resign. Plus, having him line up opposite of Calvin would just be nasty.

Option 2: The kid out of Grand Blanc Michigan…Mark Ingrim JR. Thunder and Lighting.

Option 3: Prince Amukamara.

@Deb – I like your thought about a power runner. They need a work horse who can tire out an opponents D-Line and keep them off balance. This also keeps some heat off Stafford, and gives them a true ‘blocking’ back as well.

@honolulublue – true, a shut down CB would be nice, but a nasty pass rush makes even average quality CB’s and LB’s better. The Lions already have average to better than average in those areas. The odds of improving ALL areas and our wish lists are low-to-nil. The success rate and impact of working the system to get that second nightmare D-Lineman is much better.

…And in Night club rest rooms too. Right? Sorry couldn’t resist.

#2 – Matt Millen’s pix need not be there – this group has sanitized themselves of Matt Millen……put devil horns, a dunce cap on the pix and use it, or place an X over the pix to indicate the exorcism is complete, but leave Matt out of the equation from now on.

They have Shaun Hill under contract for next year. He won several games for them this season. Y’all are obviously not paying attention…

Also, receiver is a bigger need than you’d think. Burleson is a slot guy and Bryant Johnson is a bum! Derrick Williams won’t live up to his 3rd round draft status. If Julio Jones is available at 13..i don’t see why not!

Flo – that’s low.

This team is putting it together.

I agree with the OL ‘dirtbags’ for sure.

You’re over thinking the others though Mike.

We’d be better off with one more vicious pass rusher on the opposite side of Suh.

That means – 1) We don’t give them time to throw? 2) We don’t to fret about more CBs, LBs, etc – everyone just made everyone better with only one more person.

I guess they know how much you all miss him.
