With all of this talk about duos, I started to wonder... Which two players make up the top duo for the Detroit Lions? It is an interesting thing to think about because it really depends on your definition of a duo and your opinion of which players fit that role.
For me, I debated between two duos for the Lions. The first is at the running back position, with the assumption that Kevin Smith will return from his knee injury and be effective. Should that happen, I think he and Jahvid Best have a great chance to be the Lions' top duo. Each plays with a unique running style and makes things happen in different ways. Together, though, I think the Lions could have a solid running back by committee with Smith and Best. Best is without a doubt the home run hitter, but Smith is somebody who can be a consistent runner that picks up solid chunks of yardage every play (again, if he is healthy).
The other duo I considered and ultimately went with is Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson. Since OTAs have started, we have heard a lot about how Stafford and Calvin are starting to get on the same page and are poised to become a stellar quarterback-wide receiver combination next season. We saw some signs of the Staff to Megatron combo last season on plays against the Browns and Bengals, but a lot of times it just looked like the two were reading different playbooks. This year, however, I think Stafford and Johnson have the potential to become not only this team's top duo, but the top duo the Lions have had in quite some time.
Who do you think the Lions' top duo is, and what are some of your favorite duos in Lions history?

at first I thought "Georgia Boys" meant
M. Stafford and M. Moore! Then I saw you meant the state of GA, not UGA : )
I agree, it’s CJ and Stafford for me too. Go Lions!.
If Moore can make the team
And get playing time they could work. It did before.

For now it has to be CJ and Stafford
I hope that by the end of this year there are more viable options. Like Delmas and ? from the secondary. Or Suh and ? from the D-Line. Or Best and Smith. For now there are just too many questions.

Matthew and Calvin
Maybe it will be Matthew and Schef or Grew, i think w our offense it could be Matthew and pretty much anyone from Calvin to Smith. Look at all of the weapons he has now Johnson, Burelson, Grew, Schef, Smith and Best those are the main names you still have guys like Heller, Felton, B. Johnson, Northcutt and D. Williams.
Old Skool Dou would have to be Bennie and Rayon defense and Mitchell, Moore and Periman aren’t considered a dou but were fun to watch.
Jay Cutler and Brett Favre like to throw picks

Has got to be Scott Linehan and Gunther Cunningham!

Muhlbach + Harris
Stafford can overthrow some balls and CJ can drop some passes here & there, but if our long-snapper and punter don’t connect and fulfill their roles with perfect timing, it almost certainly results in terrible field position.
Hey that's a timeout, I can play right? yeah, get me--get the F-- Help me up...I can throw the ball if you need me to throw the ball...
ill go with schefler and pettigrew
my other duo would be o.j atogwe and louis delmas when he signs of course
O.J. Atogwe and louis Delmas best safety duo in the league

what about...
Barry Sanders and Corey Schlesinger that was a pretty good duo in the past.
Barry was better in Ace formation if you ask me

Hopefully
it’s Stafford and CJ. Defensively I’d give it to Suh and Delmas.
If the question included anyone within the Lions organization, I’d say Scwartz and Mayhew. They have been the key to putting a solid a foundation in place.
I got 2 in mind...
first… how about Mayhew & Swartz? They are putting this whole thing together. And B… Stafford & Raiola. What they do takes some true trust between them. Raiola better get the ball up there and Staff better not pull his hands out early. But really, I think right now Staff and CJ are top Duo for reasons already mentioned.
Defense-
Delmas and Suh. Suh will pressure the QB and Delmas will do the rest!

cant wait four
Suh to pressure the qb causing the poor throw that delmas intercepts!

I'll go with the consensus and say Staff and CJ
I’d say they’d be the most important duo to our success.

Give credit where credit is due.
The Lions top duo is Mayhew and Schwartz.

Stafford and Raiola
You just have to develop a special connection to a guy when you rest your hand on his nutsack before every play.
What about worst duo?
Millen and………
My name is Suh! How do you do?! Now You GONNA DIE!
His best friend
Matt Millen

Batman Duo
I think its Haynesworth and Suh…one of the most devastating duo’s in the League.
of course, this is if the Lions sign Haynesworth who is now affordable……source Pro-football-weekly.com
Go FOLLETT.
we dont need hatesworth now
With suh and co..there’s not room for another guy like that
Louis Delmas is gonna lay the MAC down on your candyass

CJ and Staff
the Shrek and Donkey of the Lions
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both
this might be because i'm in college.
but isn’t “pilsner” spelled wrong on the labatt blue light picture? i’m not aware of any other spellings.
and, just to buck the calvin and matt trend, i’m gonna say delmas and levy. both of those guys are gonna be second-year guys and will hopefully have grown tremendously after their first year in the league. they are going to be rocks for our defense for a while and are both getting noticed around the league. i say delmas makes a strong push for the pro bowl this year.
yeah buddy!
Didn't even notice that
But apparently it has multiple spellings.

or maybe that is the Canadian way to spell pilsner....Where's our POD Canadians at?
if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
A Canadian would put a U in there somewhere
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both
College boy
Get educated. It’s the Canadian spelling. Oh, and it’s Canadian beer. Drink and learn the world bonerino.
Hanson and Muhlbach. Highest scoring duo for years.
