Detroit Lions Officially Cut Ties With Cody Brown

When the Detroit Lions' list of free agents for 2012 was released, one name on there was a blast from the past. I'm referring to linebacker Cody Brown, who hadn't been heard from since he was claimed off waivers from the New York Jets last summer by the Lions. The reason for this is because he was placed on the did not report list after, well, not reporting.

With free agency set to begin in another month and some change, the Lions were in line to retain Brown's rights. He was going to be an exclusive-rights free agent, but the Lions cut him free this week, according to Dave Birkett.

With Brown being cut, he is now an unrestricted free agent.

Brown was picked in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals in 2009 [63rd overall].

I had high hopes for this guy. I read an article on MLive that claimed Gunther and Schwartz had plans for the Lions to convert to a 3-4 defence with Brown as one outside LB and Cliff at the other.
The plan was shelved when Cody was a no show. True story. Honest.

"I’m sorry for all the people who want us to run the ball 40 times a game, but we’re going to put the ball in No. 9’s hands and he’s going to make plays for us like he did today," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. Amen to that Jim!

You dint either read that we were thinking about going to a 3-4, right?

I freakin hate boulla boulla 3-4 D. Id rather take my chances with a 5-2 and give up the middle of the field…

Well, yeah...if you want to get technical about it

But since everyone pretty much seems to like our safeties,Im somewhat loathe to cast aspersions. Its always hard to point fingers with folk being emotionally attached to so and so. If we just dump the wide 9, I’ll be a happy camper

I like our safeties.

I just wish they’d play in a more impressive fashion…
I’m still not sure what changes I’d like to see on our D next year, I just know that I need to see some changes. They don’t have to be drastic.
