Lions Notes: Calvin Johnson Working On Special Touchdown Celebration

Print- According to Nate Burleson, Calvin Johnson is working on "the best celebration you've ever seen." Johnson isn't known for his touchdown celebrations by any means, so it will be interesting to see what he does "if the stars align," as he put it. What do you think Megatron is planning?
- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said during an interview earlier this week that Ndamukong Suh is "dangerous." He meant that in a complimentary way, as he went on to say that Suh is "a hell of a player." Brady certainly has first-hand experience, as he was sacked by Suh once on Thanksgiving last year.
- ESPN's Ross Tucker says the NFL should be applauding Suh, not fining him. I like the way he thinks.
- Louis Delmas is getting ready for the Patriots game on Saturday by treating it like the regular season opener.
- Interesting factoid about Lions wide receiver Nate Hughes: He is a registered nurse.
- Jim Schwartz said the Lions are "really, really happy to have" Will Heller, who is currently playing at tight end, fullback and H-back.

With Chad on the other sideline
He’s gonna do the Riverdance

Probably pushing 800-pound gorillas out of their choice seats in movie theaters."

It has to be
something to do with “the catch” against the Bears. My guess is a straight re-enactment. That would be awesome on MNF!!

He's just going to hold onto the ball for the rest of the game.

Nice.
Every catch he just walks off the field with. I like it.
It's turkey, Lions and Macy's. Any other combination is just ludicrous.

I'd rather him focus on staying healthy rather than thinking of TD dances

The phrase “focus on staying healthy” is just kinda played out.
Of course he’s focusing on staying healthy. They all are. Personally I want #81 to live it up and enjoy playing here and finally being on a team that has the potential to accomplish things.
He’s the top WR in the franchise. TD celebrations are exactly what he should be planning this season.

Right!
Have to admit, it’s great seeing one of our star players seeming to enjoy himself out there now.

The best TD celebration he can do:
Quietly hand the ball to the ref and go stand with your team on the sideline.
It's turkey, Lions and Macy's. Any other combination is just ludicrous.

At 275
I think Heller should make a fine FB! The dude’s a beast! 6’6" 275 with hands…wow

I ahte being glued to the Rapid Reports
and yet having to apply such a strong filter – example:
QB Matthew Stafford continues to look strong in situational drills. Where Stafford’s truly improved is his command of red zone, short yardage and two-minute situations. Those areas were all points of concern for Detroit last season, and Stafford’s improvement is a welcome development
- John Kreger
Great to hear more of the same about Stafford. But, the red zone was so totally NOT an area of concern. I think we were leading the league in red zone success rate for much of the season… We could be better in short yardage for sure. I think only Hill could have done a much better job in 2 minute situations (Staff seemed great in the real limited time he had and Stanton was a gamer)…
case closed…

more ammo
In the three games he was able to play last season, he engineered 10 drives into the red zone and came away with touchdowns nine times. Pretty remarkable stuff.
The Lions, even with Stafford on the sidelines for 13 games, finished second in the league in red-zone efficiency, scoring 29 touchdowns in 45 trips inside the 20.

Let him celebrate! I cannot wait to see it. CJ has shown none of the baggage that usually comes along with WR that are well known for celebrations so I have no problem with it. Nate Burleson celebrated several times after TD’s and they were all creative and fun! The NFL today is about entertainment if I wanted to watch something boring I’d watch nascar.

Not to be outdone, Peyton Manning reports that water is indeed wet.

Peyton went on to blame the lockout as the reason isn't as wet as it should be.
