I like it, especially adding Fenroy to the practice squad...
But no way S. Smith and G. Jackson are both on the bench to start week one…Baring injury

that would be 700lbs on the bench HAHA

i really liked your Safeties
Those two in the backfield could lay some big time lumber, It would be almost like having 2 extra lb’s out there when it comes to hitting.
I also like Big Dan
He has shown some nice hands so far…..Fitzsimmons is injury prone, unfortunately.
Nice list, but I think the Lions will be allowed to keep an extra player.
If Grady Jackson is on suspension he does not count on the roster. They would have to drop someone when he is done and they want him on the team.
Has that been announced yet?
Nice....
…except fluellen has played horribly this preseason so that spot will be Jackson……manuel will start over Schwagert……No way Petigrew will start the season as the number 1 TE….Not enough reps in camp….Other then that not bad

You forgot.....
….kalvin Pearson too…..he will make the team

My bet.....
Is that Pearson gets the nod opposite Delmas…..Manuel is a liability in pass coverage (even worse than Pearson or Schweigert)…..but that also depends on how Gunther sticks to his guns about guys who do not tackle, and whether or not Pearson stops trying to arm tackle.
Honesttly I think we should run a bit of 4-4 with Delmas playing all world FS like the raves and Ed Reed...

I thought about that too.....
……but it way be tough with a rookie….Also you other safety has to be able to cover in that situation…..But yeah I like the idea.

Flu has been decent at the end position
He has a sack to his name.
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).

Something else I found interesting.....
**NOTE – I am not saying we should do this, or that it would be a good or bad idea…..just passing it along…..
Broncos would trade Marshall (Fanball)
The News
According to a report from the Denver Post , the Broncos would be willing to trade wide receiver Brandon Marshall if a team offered them a first and a fourth-round pick. Marshall is coming off hip surgery, and it seems unlikely that a team would offer that for a troubled receiver who may not be 100 percent.
Our View
It looks like the Broncos know that there is very little chance that they will be able to move Marshall, so they are going to go forward with him in the fold. If Marshall shows he is completely healthy he could spark some interest, but it looks like he will be a Bronco for the 2009 season.
oops
Didn’t mean to post that yet……I wanted to say a 1st and a 4th seems awfully high for a guy coming off of hip surgery doesn’t it? However, (all character issues and wah wah crap aside) this guy is all world when he is healthy. What if we could get him for a 2nd and Bryant Johnson?
i dont know..
it is alittle risky for me. I know you are asking the question base solely on Marshall’s upside. So with that i mind I would say yes. A 2nd and B. Johnson. Although, I really would hate to lose that draft pick.
Not bad
I don’t think Flu will start however, I also think Keith Smith and Kalvin Pearson will make the team.
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
RandomThoughts
I think I’m ok with the depth chart, right now. We just have to keep in mind that there are gonna be some quality guys out there in the coming weeks and we can’t fall in love with a guy just by the way he looks in preseason. If the right vet is there and can make you a better football team you may have to let one of these preseason infatuations go.
Just one more random thought, for now. If the bottom part of our WR corps is looking as bad as it has, ie, Colbert, Standeford and journeyman Looker. Why aren’t we looking at a young, multitalented guy like Matt Jones? I know he has a troubled past and all but nobody can deny his talent. Bring him in, work him out and see where his head is at. We coulld have really talented veteran receiver to fill out our WR corps!!!
