A 53 man roster I could live with.

PrintIts fun to take a stab at what the 53 man roster might look like. I know I’m not right, but it is a roster I wouldn’t mind seeing next week in Chicago.
Offense:
Quarterback: Mathew Stafford Shaun Hill Drew Stanton
Wide Receiver 1: Calvin Johnson Brian Clark Derrick Williams
Wide Receiver 2: Nate Burleson Bryant Johnson
Running Back: Jahvid Best Maurice Morris Aaron Brown DeDe Dorsey
Fullback Jerome Felton
Tight End Brandon Pettigrew Tony Scheffler Dan Gronkowski
Left Tackle Jeff Backus Jason Fox
Left Guard Rob Sims
Center Dominic Raiola Dylan Gandy
Right Guard Stephen Peterman Manny Ramirez
Right Tackle Gosder Cherilus Jon Jansen
Defense:
Left End Cliff Avril Willie Young
Left Tackle Ndamukong Suh Sammie Hill
Right Tackle Corey Williams Landon Cohen
Right End Kyle Vanden Bosch Lawrence Jackson
Left Linebacker Julian Peterson Caleb Campbell Ashlee Palmer
Middle Linebacker DeAndre Levy Landon Johnson
Right Linebacker Zack Follet Vinny Ciurciu
Left Cornerback Chris Houston Dre’ Bly Paul Pratt
Right Cornerback Jonathan Wade Dante Wesley Aaron Berry
Strong Safety Randy Phillips Ko Simpson
Free Safety Louis Delmas Amari Spievey
Long Snapper Don Muhlbach
Punter/Holder Nick Harris
Kicker Steve Hauschka
Look for Jason Hansen to start the season injured, giving Hauschka the start against Chicago. I know my safety list is a pipe dream. Unfortunately look for C.C. Brown to make the 53 man roster and start. He would give Detroit a better chance of a winning season by playing for anyone but us. Besides, his presence would probably put Paul Pratt on the practice squad, who just keeps improving. Another notable is Gronkowski over Heller. Gronk has played well both on offense and special teams.
As for Kevin Smith, keep in mind Schwartz has always said he will go with players that give them the best chance of winning. Kevin Smith is not 100% yet. Both Brown and Dorsey have out performed him this preseason.

not bad but a few changes
i think K Smith, C.C.,Hauschka, will all make the team.. But i think Hauschka will be put on the practice squad so we can keep him for next yr. i do not think that Hanson will play another season.. DeDe will also more than likely to hit the squad as well. and KO will most likely be cut
Lions fan for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's me looking into the future at the Lions going to the Play-offs by 2011 and going to the Super Bowl in 2012!!!
I drink a lot of "spiked" blue kool-aid... Having no problem sharing cuz it sure is good!!!!
Haushka and DeDe aren't eligible for the PS
they’ve both been in the league too long
In life, a man is either the hammer or the anvil. Ndamukong Suh is both

ALSO
We saw how maurice morris performed when he filled in for k smith, he didnt match up, I am sorry but I just dont see morris staying and smith not
Not too shabby
I’d cut Stanton. He won’t be picked up by another team and has zero trade value. Keep his number on speed dial in case Stafford gets hurt.
Felton makes it by default because he’s the only alleged FB on the roster.. I’d cut him, he’s done nothing except look good in preseason against 3rd string scrubs just like Stanton. Line up Heller at H-back/FB if you need too. At least Heller knows how to block.
I think they’re gonna IR Fox and keep Hilliard.
I hope the Lions keep 4 TEs. TE and DL are the only positions with great depth on the team.
They’ll keep Smith and cut Dorsey. Numbers game and DeDe is the odd man out.
I think they might keep Rocky Boiman.
Aaron Berry and Caleb Campbell will be cut and get on the PS.
Hauschka is gone. I’ll take Hansons 81% track record over Hauschkas 67% all day any day.
I don’t think Brian Clark makes the team.

Keeping Smith over MoMo
Hanson over Hauschka
I think that MoMo carries more of a trade value than Smith and plus Schwartz isn’t ready to give up on Smith. I like the ideal of Heller playing FB and cutting Felton, i hope none of are TE get the boot, only problem who is going to be the short yard back.
Can we stop talking about releasing Smitty and Hanson now....
you're right
MoMo is better than Felton
I lol’d at mom

I think Smith needs more time
I hope to god Schwartz doesn’t cut Brown and Dorsey. I think that Dorsey brings more to the Lions than Smith and MoMo and Brown has looked better than both Smith and Mo. I just don’t want the Lions to cut Smith or Mo if they can get something for them, thats why i say Smith over Mo.

rember last year when JS said
when you start makeing ecuseus for players is when you know ou have a problem"
not his excat words but more alog the lins.. that why i dont think he will read to much in to his injure and just look at what he did during camp and preseasen witch isnt much
smith
keep k smooth around if not for one more year cut dede
Hanson will make the team
I don’t even think that’s a question.
RIP Robyn Bailey 1961 - 2010. I love you mum.
