So is it wise to reference the defensive moves ahead of time if the goal is to employ a wolf-like “trick” on the opposing offense during the upcoming season?

Sheesh. People just don’t get it. “Lucky to be 8-8″? That was last year. This team is only getting better and better, and it starts with the best young QB in the game, a WR who could be the best ever this side of Rice, multiple weapons at WR/TE and a DL that dominates most games even when it plays average. Time to wake up, people. This team is no joke.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but, didn’t Liam Niesen kill two the wolves (including the Alpha)? So, you’re saying the Lions are going to get killed by oppossing QBs?

They will every time they play the Packers, that’s for sure.

Oh, and… There is no team in football with the Lions’ talent and depth at DT. The outside guys would def be a bit behind the Eagles, but if and only if Willie Young doesn’t do stuff like he did today at practice against what was a top-5 pass pro unit in 2011: blow up a blocker, infiltrate, adjust to a screen, snatch it out of the air and return it for a td.

The Lions will be lucky to be 8-8 this season and will lose both to the bears and packers.

i think the Eagles d-line has more depth and will generate more sacks than the lions

I’d be willing to put the Buffalo Bills 1st and 2nd string defensive lines right up there with the Lions and Giants. The Buffalo Bills have one of the better Offensive lines with Eric Wood anchoring the line, Andy Levitre and Kraig Urbik at the Guard posts and Erik Pears, Chris Hairston and Cordy Glenn manning the Tackle positions, and throughout training camp the D-line has been constantly harassing all 4 quarterbacks to no end. I can’t wait until pre-season, so we can see this D-line in action against other teams O-lines. Kyle Williams, Mario Williams, Marcell Dareus, Mark Anderson, Shawne Merriman, Chris Kelsay, Spencer Johnson, Dwan Edwards, Alex Carrington and Kellen Heard. Man, I am so ready for some football!!!

Good. Gunther needs to shake things up a bit and put Suh and Fairley in different formations.

Their defensive line is scary, good thing their defensive backs are the opposite.

Jim Schwartz makes it hard to root for the Lions. The guy is a huge tool. Probably me least favorite coach in the league besides both Harbaughs.

So, they have big guys in the middle lined up against the smaller guards and centers. The strength of these defensive linemen is that they can overpower the smaller, interior offensive linemen, but they’re not going to outrun anybody, which is why they play inside.

The smaller defensive ends are not as strong, but they use their speed to beat the stronger, but slower offensive tackles.

So the genius Lions plan is to take the slow but strong defensive tackles and put them against the slow but strong tackles and take the fast but small defensive ends and make them try to out-muscle guys who outweigh them by 40 pounds since they won’t be able to use speed to just run by them on the outside?

Good luck reinventing the wheel Lions.

The Lions get a little success and start yapping off a little too much. I sense a back to reality season ahead for them brother.

The Lions will be a distance #2 in sack total, far behind the Eagles.

Didn’t see the movie — how many of the wolves got ejected and then suspended from the wilderness?

The amount of flags that defense draws is what’s scary.

“the Lions’ second line would be one of the 10 best starting units in the league.”

Doubt it, but maybe in their prison league.

The idea of Suh stomping your head should be enough of a scare for qb’s
