Geez I hope Hanson is ready for week 1

Cundiff can’t even hold his jock-strap.

2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).

good 1...

I’m kinda perplexed, do these guys not see the blaring need for help in the secondary. I would think they would at least attempt to get get another solid CB, not guys like Bollinger, seems like there could be alot better uses of his roster spot. I saw they let Hood get picked up by a rival team, they were interested in him before, I just don’t understand. With our guys given up these “Chunk Plays” on any number of occasions, there is an odvious need there, at leat to me there is.

Hood Didnt Play Well....

…….in the preseason before he was released…..Why pickup someone that didnt play well and just got released by a team that just signed him?

Agree times 100

Hood was not a good corner with Arizona, they let him leave, Cleveland signed him, then cut him. Not sure what the hub bub is about.
We still have not seen Henry or Buchanon play yet. I believe they are better.

The secondary has to get better

I don’t know if Hood would have made any difference, likely not. Let’s just hope that Gunny plays a little more aggressive man on man this year with the players he has.

I hated the bend don’t break attitude of the last 2 years under Joe Barry. Thank God he is not around anymore.

It Wouldnt Have been Better with Hood.....

…..he was a backup in AZ for a reason….Cle signed hm and they released him……we dont need other teams scrub players anymore.

Nervous about O'Connell

He was a late third round pick last year, and the Pats have already released him after losing Cassell too. That doesn’t speak much to the abilities of O’Connell. A quadraplegic could be at least relatively successful in the Pats offense.

I think thats it....

……Denver really needs a QB….would they trade marshall for o’connell and a 3rd rounder?

by BennieBladesFan on Sep 2, 2009 12:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

or...

we trade him with a pick to get a starting caliber DB, that would be awesome.

Would you really want the cancer that is Brandon Marshall on the Lions?

Talent goes a long way towards masking flaws, but Marshall seems like a character that could really mess up chemistry on a team. I’m not sure a squad in teh position of teh Lions should pick up someone who’d be demanding balls that might otherwise be going to Megatron, etc…

Don't see Marshall...

as much of a cancer in the form of TO, just has an ego. I don’t wanna see him in Detroit cuz WR is far down the list after secondary, Dline, and Oline, but I’m just saying that if he lands in a team like the Ravens, Jets, or Bears, he’ll probably shape up, everyone around him has said he’s changed for the better.

4 teams had claims in

Detroit Denver and Cleveland…Cant remember the 4th

Peter King on CNNSI predicts.............

Lions go 3-13 this year. I hope he’s underestimating us and the improvements we have made since last year.

Also predicts the Bears to make it to the Superbowl vs. the Patriots.

Just Read On ESPN Insider.....

…..that the most liekly landing place for O’Connell will be in Cleveland…….I guess they could at least get a 5th round pick for him……id take it

by BennieBladesFan on Sep 2, 2009 3:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

lol i would be shoked if we got a 7th… i am shere the pats tried for a few and even if they didnt do we relly want a QB that the best coach in the NFL could not do any thing with?? face it he was a bust and only reson we have him is to play agenst the bills or mabe take 3rd spot if drew goes on ir

Just Remember matt... what would Daunte do??
