Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Lions Announce Starting Lineup For Tonight's Game

The Lions' starting lineup page originally had Louis Delmas in the starting lineup at safety, but that has since been updated with Randy Phillips starting in his place. It also originally had Jonathan Wade starting at cornerback, but he has been replaced by Dre Bly.

One thing that hasn't been changed (at least not yet) is DeAndre Levy's inclusion as the starter at middle linebacker. He seemed much more likely to start than Delmas, so it's not too surprising that he will apparently be on the field tonight with the first-team defense.

On offense, there isn't anything too noteworthy about the starting lineup. Really the only thing that stuck out to me is that Kevin Smith and Brandon Pettigrew aren't starters, but then again, even if they play it wasn't expected for them to get the nod over Jahvid Best and Tony Scheffler.

Suh vs Beadles

That’s an interesting battle to keep an eye on. Two rooks on their O-line vs. our starting D-line. Going to be fun to watch for sure.

UGG

I did not want to see Delmas out there, reps are important but so i a healed hammy.

Lions fans deserve better than being the laughing stock of the NFL. Lets all hope they are heading in the right direction finally.

Reading is fundamental

“The Lions’ starting lineup page originally had Louis Delmas in the starting lineup at safety, but that has since been updated with Randy Phillips starting in his place.”

He’s out.

grats to the Lions on a great 1st Half vs Broncos … we all know in 2nd game of preseason it’s 1st Half that counts VDB with a sack, Bly with the INT … Stafford ad TD pass … looking good, Lions fans … hope my Chiefs meet you guys in the SB soon

I think things are definitely liiking up this year for the Lions!!!
