Lions Notes: Louis Delmas, DeAndre Levy Miss Practice

Print- According to Chris McCosky, both Louis Delmas and DeAndre Levy were absent from practice today. That is obviously not a good sign for them playing on Sunday, especially since the players had a day off yesterday. I suppose we will learn more about their status when Jim Schwartz talks to the media.
- The Bears are going to wear white jerseys on Sunday, meaning the Lions will be in their Honolulu Blue home uniforms. That's going to be a bit weird to see at first.
- Yahoo! Sports' Michael Silver ranked William Clay Ford as the third worst owner in the NFL.
- The Lions are 28th in ESPN's week one power rankings.
- Cian O'Day previewed the Lions by talking to FanHouse's Michael David Smith.
- The NFL has once again tweaked the new rule about where umpires line up after receiving numerous complaints from the Colts.

Delmas
I was sure Louis would play when he was active for the pre-season game. If we don’t have him I don’t think I need to say just how bad of a posistion are secondary is in.
I had a dream were the Lions let me sign a 1 day contract they let me practice with them running drills and catching passes from Matt…At the end of the day I was called into Mayhews office. I was told I had just been traded to seattle for a 5th round draft pick.
The way they've been rehabbing him we shouldn't worry
I’m under the impression they’re rehabbing him to ensure he will be as fresh as possible for the game.
Our safety position isn't extremely bad.
If Philips, Brown and even Speivey play well, then it won’t be a huge issue. Although Delmas is something we definitely need on the field.

Delmas = difference maker
everyone else you named = potential to be solid. With how thin we are at LB and CB, we need difference makers to force TOs. If we don’t, we will be nickel and dimed all day for continuous touchdowns.

No Delmas changes this game completely
Even with an anemic Bears offense, they are going to throw it over the top of our heads. Might turn into a shootout.
I dont think we need to sweat this too much guys. I fully expect these two to play this weekend.
More than likely, they are resting them up in hopes of maximizing the injuries time of healing.
Lions fans deserve better than being the laughing stock of the NFL. Lets all hope they are heading in the right direction finally.
So, WCF - Third worst owner?
He’s definitely gonna get roasted for quite awhile over hiring Millen, and letting him stay here so long.

who are the other 2? ford takes this by a mile...

Redwings do it quite often
Seems like they wear white at home quite a bit.

Different Sport.
The Tigers wear White at home ALL the time. But this is Football, You wear your Colors at Home and Your Whites on the Road.
Stupid Bears, I don’t really care. This way we will be able to see all the Grass Stains on Cutlers Jersey.
not any more. More and more teams are switching to a home white jersey
Dallas has been it for years. Than the Redskins started to do it out of sprite to the Cowboys. Now other teams have been doing.
if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
And good for us ...
Our players will feel “At Home” wearing the home jersey :)
One of the reasons the Bears are choosing to wear white on Sunday is because the Sunday temperature is suppose to be about 80 degrees with a medium-high degree of humidity. Wearing their white uniform instead of their dark blue home uniform will deflect some of that heat and be cooler.
… Just taking advantage of the rule is all.

Perfect!
Chicago just played right into our hands!
It is a little know fact that the reason it the color is called Honolulu Blue is because it was developed in Hawaii. The United States Air Force gave a grant to the University of Hawaii to produce a color that reflected sunlight better than white. Researchers from around the world gathered at the university to work on this task that many critics considered a waste of tax payers money. A Lithuanian scientist and chemist named Gvidas Povulounns, created a shade of blue that had slightly better reflective properties than white.
The Air Force never used the newly developed color because of problems with government contractors and ultimately just went back to white. Povulounns upon hearing the news of color not being used after all his efforts formed a habit of pulling on his leg every time someone mentioned " Honolulu Blue". He pulled on his leg, just like I am pulling on yours.

That was brilliant..
I bit that hook, line and sinker, so touche my friend. However, I may start quoting this as fact. In 3 years when you hear about how the Honolulu Blue came about during the Super Bowl pregame coverage, you know it started right here.

The real story from Wikipedia
The shade of blue used for Lions uniforms and logos is officially known as “Honolulu blue,” which is supposedly inspired by the color of the waves off the coast of Hawaii. The shade was chosen by Cy Huston, the Lions first vice president and general manager, and of the choice, he said: “They had me looking at so many blues I am blue in the face,” Huston said about the selection. "But anyway, it’s the kind of blue, I am told, that will match with silver

The Lions should "F" the Bears and wear our Black Jerseys psychological warfare baby !!
I am sure the Bears did the uniform change because they are expecting a hot sunny day and want to reflect heat while our Lions absorb it,. This just shows how afraid of losing they are and trying to get every advantage possible.
I thought being lazy was a bad thing, So I gave up thinking.
A loss would be huge.
… A loss to a 2-30 team would be painstaking tough to dismiss.

only part of a 2-30 team
Many of these guys have little to do with that record. It’s a new year, and Detroit will beat Chicago.

I thought the Lions played with a lot of heart last year.
They were underskilled in a lot of those contests, but kept it close in some of those games. The fact that Calvin Johnson has not squawked and “wanted out of Detroit” is astonishing to me and I tip my cap to him.
Lions will be better, I will admit, but I think you guys might catch us when we head to Detroit in the middle of the season…
… Not this week. (We’d burn Chicago down if they loss this Sunday. haha!).

Agreed on the heart last year, and Megatron.
From what I’ve read he’s just been internalizing the frustration and growing isolated, but that started changing once Detroit started actually drafting and trading well.
I think they’re gonna narrowly defeat the Bears at Soldier, but we’ll see. I love Chicago, it is one my favorite cities, and I have a Bears starter jacket from the 80s that is too sweet not to wear, I catch some shit for it sometimes, but it’s just that dope.

he still has the exact clueless look on his face when he’s calling the Bears defense that he had here trying to make adjustments.

0-0 record bodes optimism and sarcasm, I guess.
Guess that 2-30 didn’t do anything to humble a few of us.
Nevertheless, good luck in the upcoming season.

Why would 2-30 be relevant when hardly any of those players are even on the team anymore?

nah, 16 of those losses, only 15 players are left
almost half the roster has been turned over since the 14 losses last year.
This is not my mothers Lions team anymore.

Even more reason to be concerned!? haha?

Perhaps...
… But, there’s growth in learning from the past.
I remember after the 2004 season when the Bears couldn’t win to save their lives, Bears fans tempered their expectations going into the 2005 season and let the play of the Bears dictate their enthusiasm. As the team won more and more games, Bears fans started getting excited and believing in the team.
This Lions team has done absolutely nothing to date, yet fans are posting like the Bears are underdogs. haha?
It’s kinda funny.

right now, all we have is hope. You have stated clearly what we are coming from and where we have been.
The corner has been turned. The skill positions are flowing with talented players hungry to win. Both lines have been upgraded.
This team, unlike years of old, can win any sunday.

He'll be fine.
We have some secondary issues that makes this defense a bit challenging. But, the Bears defensive secondary should be alright if they are able to get a bit of a lead and are allowed to take some chances.
Marinelli has taught some of these lineman how to be a lineman which is a pretty cool thing to see. We’ll see how he does in playcalling from the sideline.

Actually, I like Rod. Lousy HC, good asst. coach
he’s a good dude. When he was canned, he showed up to the presser, looked everybody in the eye and took his licks from the media like a man and didn’t make any excuses. Every other coach that was fired that season just released a statement to the media.
I wish him alot of success except 2 times per season. This week just happens to be one of those weeks where I hope he sucks.

Don't hang me here
I actually liked the Black they are a good alternate nothing beats the Blue and Silver jerseys though.
I had a dream were the Lions let me sign a 1 day contract they let me practice with them running drills and catching passes from Matt…At the end of the day I was called into Mayhews office. I was told I had just been traded to seattle for a 5th round draft pick.
people on here basically told me to shove it when i said the thanksgiving jerseys were the greatest
I’m with you though. They’re so great with those all silver helmets

Unsure if this is a variant or practice only, but simplfying the aesthetic is a great move sometimes.
