- The Lions had some interesting offensive-line combinations on Monday night:

I suppose it never hurts to have your offensive linemen prepared to play any position just in case.Also interesting - Swanson taking 2nd team reps at center with Tomlinson at LT. Moore at 2nd team QB.

- The offense performed quite well in two-point situations on Monday night.
Lions worked on 2-point conversion tonight. By my count, 1st team was 4-5. Refs had it 5-5 b/c they thought a pass to CJ didn't hit turf.

- Good job, Ryan Broyles.
Who do you think came down with this 50/50 ball between WR Ryan Broyles and CB R.J Stanford? pic.twitter.com/RUHPDr96EO

- This is pretty disappointing to read given that the reports about Larry Webster have consistently been of this tone during training camp:
Man, Larry Webster has a lot of work to do.

- On the flip side, it seems that Taylor Boggs is picking up where he left off last Thursday:
Taylor Boggs with yet another pancake. This time against Roy Philon.

- It looks like the coaches took notice of Greg Salas' outstanding performance in the preseason opener.

Jermelle Cudjo and Phillip Hunt are also apparently grabbing the attention of the coaching staff.
Also of note: Jermelle Cudjo and Phillip Hunt were among the six first-team DL for those two-point conversions.
