Lions Notes: 'Discipline' Possible For Dominic Raiola

I can’t tell you how pissed I would’ve been had I been in your shoes. Peterson pussied out big time.

He still has lots of room for improvement as far as catching the ball goes.

I’m thinking they might draft a center in the next draft somewhere in the mid rounds. I don’t think they’re gonna boot Raiola. He’s a passionate guy that the other players on the team seem to really like. He’s also smart. He’s not physical at center as I’d like to see..mostly because he’s a little on the small side in my opinion. I think if they bring a guy in from the draft this year and let him sit behind Dom for a year or two and hopefully get some of Dom’s good habits it could be good for everybody. Of course, I’d like them to draft a guy that could play guard as well…wishful thinking maybe. We’ll see.

I still think Dom and Backus have been playing really good football this year…probably the best of both their respective careers.

In Dom’s defense, he’s taken a lot of hit for the last decade of losing because he was the first ever Millen draft. Backus was the first rounder for Detroit that year and Dom was their second rounder. He may be a hot head..but at least he’s passionate…that goes for something in my book.
