Wednesday Notes: Gosder Cherilus, Rookies Hit Field for OTA

Print- Kyle Vanden Bosch welcomed Ndamukong Suh back to Allen Park with a text message and Kevin Smith welcomed Jahvid Best by meeting with him and telling him not to be nervous. It's great to see that the veterans are reaching out to the rookies like this, especially with Smith and Best since they will be battling for a starting job at the same position.
- Suh matched up against Stephen Peterman during the team-wide drill.
- Gosder Cherilus took part in Tuesday's OTA, well ahead of schedule of his anticipated return from arthroscopic knee surgery. He only did the individual drills, but it's still good that he's back on the field already.
- Tony Scheffler was stuck on the sideline once again. He still has a boot on his right foot, so it's unclear just when he will be healthy enough to participate in the Lions' OTAs. The same goes for Ko Simpson and Dennis Northcutt, who also missed the OTA.
- The Lions are ranked 24th in Peter King's early power rankings, ahead of the Bears, which came in at 25th.
- The Lions raised around $75,000 at their bocce ball tournament.

Wonder what Roy would have said to Tim Toone...
“Yo man, I know that the “media” loves your dreads and all, but its gonna take a lot more than that to get #11 off the field. It’s great that we are bringing in no names like you, ya know? Cause it really puts my WR1 skills into perspective."
The beer's on me!
I liked Roy's enthusiasm, and he didn't seem to become a shit talker until he got to the other "D"
..my biggest problem with him was lack of production. I’ll always like the guy and I feel like he suffered through the worst with our franchise. I was very happy to see him traded for what we got though. It was Mayhew’s first move that got me thinking “Wow.”
-Correct me if I’m remembering Roy inaccurately.

24th in the power rankings?
Oh yeah, we’re in the top 75% now! Watch out, NFL!
Is it time to start writing the cheesy song/dance number entitled, “We are the Lions!” that the team must inevitably perform and be mocked for when we make the playoffs?

on the other hand
If you read the opener to King’s power ranking column, he picked the Saints 24th last year…start planning the Parade!!!

Follett was on first take this morning
I haven’t seen it yet but I’m sure he was his usual unbalanced self… I’ll post the link when I can find it
I just got a peek at Best's stats for Madden 11!
speed 97, agility, acceleration, & ball carrier vision all in the 90s! It’ll be like having Barry in the backfield again (at least playing video-football)!
Wonder what they made SUH! look like?

A little disappointing that Scheffler is still out with a foot injury...
How long is that song and dance going to last?
Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!
the mort report on twitter
almost has a hint of an injury “preexisting” before Shef was traded to the Lions… I have no confirmation but I tweeted him back to elaborate on the point . No response yet.
Now I may be reading into this BUT here is the tweet .. tell me what you think .. i could be speculating
“so Brandon Marshall has hip surgery and Tony Scheffler is in a walking boot. Not the Broncos worries anymore.”
hmmmm seems interesting he would say it like this
GO LIONS in 2010! the transformation starts now.. they have much to do.
i know its early
Northcutt and Simpson need to get out there as soon as they are healthy… it could but them in the “53 cut zone”
GO LIONS in 2010! the transformation starts now.. they have much to do.
SUH PRIZED
Suh just had his first taste of what the NFL will be like going head to head with Peterman in drills. Asked if he got the better deal of the plays he just looked up and smiled. Class act this Suh guy….
Now I know that peterman is not the best guard in the NFL,but he played well for us last year…And if this is a sign of things to come the Lions should be in great shape up the middle….SUH icide HILL (phrase tagged by a fan on m-live) should plug up that hole in the middle that gave up a gut wrenching 21 points in the first quarter early and often in the season…
I’d be happy to see a few sacks from the tackles this year, as we have had little to root for from the defensive side of the ball for years…..won’t the other teams be SUHprised this year…. GO LIONS
love his quote today against Peterman
i like how he said against Peterman, he (carefully) stated: “that Peterman was strong but he COULD have gotten to the QB/backfield” oh yeah this guy will be good…. character wise he reminds me of Barry Sanders…. quiet but knows his stuff.
GO LIONS in 2010! the transformation starts now.. they have much to do.
Just to add...
Clayton has the Lions at #4 for best offseason….
General manager Martin Mayhew has taken the volume approach to fixing one of the thinnest rosters in the league. His biggest advance was on the defensive line.
I like what I'm reading
Both KVB and Williams are showing Suh the ropes on how to be a pro in this league. K-Smooth continueing being a team-first guy and helping out Jahvid Best even though he knows Best is there to take his job.
The vets aren’t going to let the rooks fail. The FO has a plan and is executing it. Brighter days are ahead for this team and I can’t wait to see it.
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both
It's good to hear that our rookies are being welcomed into the team
You can see the team growing stronger by the day.

Boy, was I wrong about # 77.
I thought for sure he’d be on the shelf longer. Dude, don’t rush it. Yes, it’s good to see you putting forth the effort, however, no relapses are needed. Get strong both mentally and physically. Good on you, mate !

I would be scared to be at...
a bocce tournament with Follett, especially if he had his helmet on and was handing out tampons at the door telling people that it was going to be a bloody mess.
