Culpepper to start...

Saturday. Culpepper will play a quarter and a half and Stafford will do the same with Stanton playing the 4th quarter. Culpepper and Stafford will both play with the 1st offense with all recieviers rotating in and out. Also, Phillip Buchanon, Anthony Henry, and Dennis Northcutt will sit out. The rest of this story can be found at www.mlive.com/lions.
Essentially, this is the final battle for the starting QB spot, no excuses, both contenders will have a level playing field and will have major weapons with Johnson & Johnson and Pettigrew playing for the first time all preseason. Let's hope they will also have K. Smith so we can see how he does in significant action in the new power running scheme. The only concern is Sims could sit out on defense and with our two starting CB's out, they miss a good opportunity to get better playing against Peyton Manning.

Since they are proving me wrong...
…and it doesn’t look like the starter for this game will necessarily start the regular season opener, I just hope that they use the fact that this is a pre-season game to get an accurate feel for how these quarterbacks can operate the offense. Let’s be realistic…this game will be over before it starts from a win/loss standpoint. Peyton Manning getting his final tuneup before the regular season, the Lions missing both their starting CBs, the whole situation is ugly for the defense. Hopefully the Lions will still try to run their regular offense, regardless of how far behind they are on the scoreboard.
I said it before pre-season started…I think the starters job is Staffords to lose (regardless of opinion as to whether or not he SHOULD be named starter). This to me just proves that the Lions WANT him to seal the deal.
I bet...
Stafford starts the final Pre Season Game.
Schwartz won’t announce the starter until probably the day before the New Orleans game.
