Eagles released Cliff Harris. The Lions would do well to sign him as he has good potential to wind up as a starting cb or be a good backup.

No big loss for us….although, the players we release to other teams do have a tendency to do better things. (Look at Carlos Rogers aka Iron Hands)….The Redskins pass defense is awful. Griffen blew a huge play on Saturday against the Colts, let’s hope he improves. D Hall gets beat on almost every play (at least he can catch a ball unlike most of the rest of the defense!) I think Haslett is gone after this season. They will hopefully give that job to Raheem Morris. HTTR!

I forgot to mention, as much as I love my Skins…….Haslett has to go too. His idea of defense is send everybody to the QB on 3rd and 4th downs. WE always get burned like that. Always. He took our perennial top 10 defense to being ranked 30th in the league in one year with the same players. He’s an idiot. The Saints got that crap outta town and won a superbowl. Why did we even pick up this poor excuse for a coordinator?

Good luck with Cedric Griffen, his paper mache knees, his sand-timer speed and his Ocho-Cinco attitude. Then again, if this guy couldn’t beat out Cedric, the NFC QBs that face the Lions are probably licking their chops right now.

If he’s worse than Cedric Griffin, Lions fans shouldn’t get too excited.

Rotoworld called him a bust as a nickel CB. What’s the deal? Lack of speed? Size?

Supposedly he can play the run pretty well, so I’m assuming he’s a good tackler?

None of the Detroit media know what we gave up for him.

Now get rid of DeAngelo hall and his big contract and get a young guy and some picks. Our defensive back situation is a hot mess. Bring up the kid Minnifield and see what he can do. He was impressive in camp.

Minnifield was placed on IR before camp even started and will not play this season, if he ever plays again.

This looks like it’s going to be another long year for the Lions secondary

Hallelujah. He’s a terrible CB. Kudos to Allen for getting something in return for a bad player.
