Week 3: Lions Win! Lions Win! Lions Win!

Holy crap! I thought it might happen, I wrote that it might happen, but it's still hard to believe.

I was one of many, many fans that was unable to attend the great waking up from the nightmare. I have now watched the game twice on NFL.com, which has done the next best thing to obliterating the outdated, money-grubbing blackout policy, and begun showing the games to the local audiences via the leagues website.

Here are 10 interesting things I learned from watching the game.

1. The buffering of the video from NFL.com is less than optimal.
2. Even though I knew the Lions had won, I still watched the game expecting them to somehow throw it all away.
3. Matthew Stafford may have too much arm. The golden trigger of the #1 pick has a very hard time throwing with the "lofting" touch that is needed on many NFL throws. I like that he doesn't seem to have any fear of throwing another pick. It's the gunslinger attitude the Lions have needed for years. It's the kind of attitude that makes a QB into a perennial all-star instead of a one year wonder. Another thing, unlike Joey, who did have a little success in Detroit, this kid is a part of the team. Every success he had was celebrated with the team. He is the leader, not just the quarterback. Again, something we haven't seen in Detroit in a long time.
4. Kevin Smith is a real NFL starting running back. An all-purpose back who can carry a team.
5. If Kevin Smith is not in there, the running game stalls.
6. The Lions need to use Aaron Brown on outside runs, not up the gut.
7. After 3 games, the Lions have the 16th rated rushing defense. After being in the bottom 3 the last three years in a row, that's pretty satisfying. Especially, when you realize the Lions have played the #1 rated offense in New Orleans, the best back in the NFL in Adrian Peterson, and annual Probowl back Clinton Portis.
8. DeAndre Levy can bring the wood. That guy hits hard.
9. The Lions still have tons of needs on defense. Needs that trump trying to improve the O-line next draft.
10. I foresee Ko Simpson and Louis Delmas playing together a lot this season. If either one of them can start holding on to interceptions, the Lions might win more than 4 games this year.

11. Bryant Johnson had 4 receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown. Many are calling BJ one of the heroes of the game. Maybe so, but BJ was targeted 11 times during the game. Only a couple of those were bad passes. BJ is still dropping way too many balls. This is the same problem that got him booted from Arizona and San Francisco. We'll take it today, but keep watching how many balls BJ is dropping and try not to think of Bill Schroeder.

Wouldn't it be great if the Lions had cheerleaders?

Running Items:

Third and Three or less...

The Lions did incredibly well on all third downs against the Skins. They were 9 of 12 on the all important down. They were 3 of 3 on 3rd and 3 or fewer, running twice and passing once. So that puts them at 3 of 4 rushing and 1 of 2 passing.

No fade-stop? Not this week. The Lions still are not using the fade-stop with either Calvin or Bryan Johnson, both WR are over 6'3. Why? Possibly, the Lions are leery of Stafford's touch or lack of touch. Stafford will need to work a lot on not throwing the ball through receivers when it is unnecessary. Until he does that, the Lions may continue to ignore the unstoppable TD pattern.

On to Chicago.

Great Article about the greatest Detroit team in my lifetime.

Whatever Happened To The Man Named "Mouse?"

And why is the NFL so afraid of success?

(From an article originally published on 12/03/04)

This started as a journey down memory lane. Remember when the Lions were good? When we had legitimate beliefs that the Lions were going to go all the way and end their decades long slumber in the filth of total mediocrity?

SSR remembers. (And yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person now. It’s pitiful, I know.)

I remember Darryl Rogers getting fired and that portly boob taking over amidst all the laughter. But Wayne Fontes fooled us. Perhaps he was never taken completely serious, but after going 3-4 with an awful amalgamation of losers, schleps, and whiners, he got the full time gig.

Then he hired a little guy named "Mouse" to come in and run this crazy offense called the "Run ‘N Shoot." Names surfaced in training camp that nobody had ever heard of, like Richard Johnson an ex-IBM accountant. The receivers that were brought in were much like Mouse, small. They were dubbed "Smurfs."

Barry Sanders and Rodney Peete were drafted after Darryl Rogers and Wayne Fontes combined 4-12 season. Erik Kramer, a total nobody, was picked up off the scrap heap and asked to try out.

And so, Mouse Davis and his QB coach, June Jones, went to work and a funny thing happened. The Lions won. Those Smurfs scurried all over the field putting up great numbers. The team only went 7-9, but that was a huge improvement for a team that only had one legitimate star on the roster—Barry Sanders.

The knock against Mouse’s ‘gimmick’ offense was that it concentrated too much on passing at the expense of the running game…but Barry ran for 1470 yards that season and would have won the rushing title if he’d wanted to go back into the fourth quarter of the Lions victory in the season finale.

The next season, the Lions were plagued by injuries and limped to a 6-10 record, but Barry still managed over a 1000 yards.

And in 1991, the offense took off. They went 12-4, won their first playoff game in 34 years, and made it to the NFC Championship game.

And then something very strange happened. Wayne Fontes fired Mouse Davis and hired Dan Henning to run a more ‘conventional offense.’ Why? Was the team just having too much success? This is typical Lions logic. And a complete mystery to everyone else.

Mouse Davis is currently the special teams coach under June Jones at the University of Hawaii, by the way. He has had a career of over forty years with a myriad of different teams and leagues, but his offense has always hovered near the tops statistically.

This piqued my interest.

Why isn’t anybody running the Run ‘N Shoot any more?

In 1994, June Jones took over the Atlanta Falcons after the firing of Jerry Glanville’s second consecutive 6-10 season. Jones installed the offense and the team went 7-9 in it’s inaugural season, but put up good offensive numbers. In 1995, they went 9-7 and went to the playoffs as a wild-card, losing to the Green Bay Packers led by Brett Favre. Again, the offense was spectacular. But in 1996, the Falcons locker room was splintered and destroyed by a flesh-eating virus named ‘Jeff George.’ The QB being the main cog in the Run ‘N Shoot, the 1996 Falcons floundered to a 3-13 record and Jones was promptly fired for losing the team.

From 1990-1994, Jack Pardee, former coach of the University of Houston, took over the Houston Oilers and installed the Run ‘N Shoot. The most prolific installation of the offense in NFL history. With Warren Moon running the show, the team went 44-35, made the playoffs all four seasons and if not for the greatest comeback in NFL history by the Buffalo Bills, would have made the AFC Championship game. Another soul-sucking vermin did this team in. This vermin was known as ‘Buddy Ryan.’ Ryan started a fight on the sideline of a nationally broadcast game with Kevin Gilbride, the Offensive Coordinator. Buddy’s main criticism was that the offense "scored too fast," that it didn’t give his defense enough time to rest on the sidelines.

If you look at the record books for the Atlanta Falcons and the Houston Oilers, you will see that the proponents of the Run ‘N Shoot hold high places in every offensive category—even career statistics.

If only the Lions could have that kind of problem today…

So why isn’t anyone in the NFL using the scheme now? Are all 32 teams infused with Lions’ logic? If it works, forget about it?

What are the arguments against it?

It exposes your QB to too much punishment? When you don’t have a fullback or tight-end in to block, yes, you’re QB will be faced with the possibility of getting hit. However, if your QB reads the defense properly and takes his three step drop, the entire offense is supposed to be based on the QB taking a three step drop and firing it away, then your QB will not be buried alive. But since it is possible that your QB will get drilled, you need to have a dependable backup well versed in your offense. How is that different from any other offense in the league?

It scores too fast? If that’s your biggest problem, you must live a blessed life.

It hurts your defense, because nobody else runs it and thereby your defense cannot practice against what other teams are going to do? This may be true, but who says that you can’t bring in a tight end or two to practice against? With the way that the tight-end position has evolved, many would be fine in the slots of the Run ‘N Shoot.

It is too complex, depending on too much reading of the defense by both QB and WR’s? This isn’t true either. In fact, the foundation of the offense is five running plays and eight passes. The offense has been run successfully at every level from high school up. It is hard to believe that talented professionals cannot grasp it. It’s been run in the NFL three times already and it hasn’t been a problem.

The offense puts a paramount on movement and speed. It’s very difficult to find huge speedy WR’s, but you can find tons of small speedy ones. This is why the offense has produced so quickly wherever it has been implemented. Elite talent is not required. In Detroit and Atlanta both teams improved immediately, going 7-9 in their inaugural seasons—and both made the playoffs quickly thereafter. Houston made the playoffs immediately and repeated every year after. These teams were all perennial losers. How could they do it so quickly? The offense is player friendly and only requires medium talent.

So why isn’t it all over the NFL now? I’m not sure. It’s a mystery to me. The league is full of copycats and since the three organizations that used it have abandoned it, nobody else has picked it up. The only real mark against it is that a team running the Run ‘N Shoot has never won the SuperBowl.

Someday, a hot coaching prospect will pop out of June Jones’ Hawaii campus and start to make big waves with the offense. It will take an innovative and forward thinking owner and GM to hire that coach and institute the system, but it will happen again. And next time watch out!

I miss those Smurfs.

(Note: Mouse Davis officially retired from coaching June 1, 2009 at the age of 76.)

Week 2: Vikings wait around for Lions to do something stupid...

And the Vikings were amply rewarded for their patience.

The Detroit Lions can play a very good quarter of football, but as most fans know, there are four quarters to every game.

Midway through the second quarter the Lions were up 10-0 on a team that many think is a super bowl contender in the NFC. Kevin Smith was running through large holes for good gains against what is proposed to be the #1 rushing defense in all of professional football. Matthew Stafford was hitting Calvin Johnson and rookie TE Brandon Pettigrew as the offense sliced and diced their way to two scores in three drives. 10-0 and well on their way to ending an 18 game losing streak.

And then...

Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson managed to put together a long 76 yard drive for a touchdown. 10-7 with just under two minutes left.

The Lions take the kickoff and...

Inexplicably, the game plan changed. Run. Run. Run (Penalty)....run out the clock. Half. Until the Favre drive all of the momentum was roaming on the Lions sideline. With less than two minutes left, the Schwartz buried it alive.

Why not take a chance to get something back? Show your young gunslinger that your not going to take away all of his bullets just because the game got close again.

First drive of the second half for Detroit, two sacks and a fumble. Within five minutes, the Lions were down 17-10 and Minnesota never looked back.

Jim Schwartz is a rookie head coach, but I still thought he had more intelligence than that. Football more than any other sport, except perhaps Basketball, is a game of momentum swings. When coaches play it too safe they usually destroy any momentum their teams have gained.

Turnovers can destroy your momentum. Pansy punts on make-able distance fourth downs kill momentum. Penalties sodomize your momentum.

Killing the clock in any situation except to end the game and solidify a victory emasculates your team and obliterates your momentum.

The Lions are in need of a totally different attitude. This is a team that has to put its foot to the medal until at least 25 minutes after the final whistle. They are too prone to making mistakes and giving games away.

For everyone who is calling for the Lions to bench Stafford and play Culpepper to ensure a win and end "THE STREAK", what are you thinking?

Now, I wrote that the Lions should have started the season with Culpepper and then planned to make the switch after the bye week. They didn't do that. Instead, the Lions are going to run the entire show with the kid at the helm. So be it. The choice has been made. You can't turn back now.

I am fully of the opinion that Schwartz always wanted to go with Stafford, but was going to go with Culpepper for prudence sake, until numerous interviews with Peyton Manning and Troy Aikman came out. Both great quarterbacks claimed that it would have never done them any good and only slowed their progressions if they had to ride the pine for a year or so.

And I tend to agree with them, why? Because this entire season is really just preseason for the 2010 season. In fact this shouldn't be headlined "Week 2" or even "Weak 2" as I played with the idea, it should Preseason game 6 of what will be 24 preseason games before the opening of 2010 and hopefully a QB in his second year with a year under his belt and an offensive line and defense which have just been bolstered by high 2010 draft choices. The idea of giving Culpepper ample playing time in our preseason when he's going to be gone when the games really count is moronic.

Wouldn't it be great if the Lions had Cheerleaders?

So the Lions now host the Washington Redskins in a game that will be blacked out in the Detroit area.

For once in a very long time, this is a game of real hope for the Leos. Going into this season most fans have pointed to the week 8 game against St. Louis as the first real "winnable" game for the Lions.

Last week the Skins barely managed a 9-7 victory over those same hapless Rams. So if you really believed that the Lions could beat the Rams, you have to believe they stand an above average chance to beat the Skins.

The Skins have only managed to score one offensive touchdown in the two games this season. Their starting left tackle is out with an injury. Clinton Portis is on the downside of his career.

We'll see.

Two more running items.

First, I will drag out of the closet a personal problem I have with the NFL as a whole, not just our own loathsome Lions. Third and three or less. The average running play in the NFL gains 3.5 yards. Hell, bad teams with awful running games still average 3 yards. Why then does every team decide to pass on this very make-able down and distance? What's more, you have two downs to do it really.

So I am going to track the Lions 3rd down and 3 yards or less plays.

In week one against the Saints, the Lions faced this down and distance twice. They ran once, on an end around to Calvin Johnson, for a first down. The second time, pass, incomplete.

In week two against the Vikings, the Lions again faced this down and distance twice. The first time, they ran the ball up the middle to Kevin Smith for a loss of four yards. Fourth down.

The second time they passed, incomplete...but were bailed out by a penalty. (So because the results of that play don't count for the nfl, they won't count for me.)

So, so far, the Lions 1 for 2 while running the ball on 3rd and short and 0-1 when passing it. As the season goes on, I believe that the stats will bear out that it is always better to run on 3rd and 3 or less.

Second running item.

The fade-stop.

I grew up watching Barry Sanders and Herman Moore during which was (sadly) the golden age of Lions football in my lifetime. During those years, through multiple iterations of quarterbacks, there was always "the fade-stop." It was a simple play designed for the 6'4 Herman Moore. Moore was significantly taller than most cornerbacks in the league, who average about 5'10 or 5'11. The idea was to drive into the endzone, stop come back and catch the jump ball the QB tossed his way. It worked like a charm. Has always worked like a charm. It is practically indefensible if you have a WR with a significant height advantage over the defender.

Enter 6'5 Calvin Johnson. Where is the fade-stop? I saw the Lions try it once, against the Saints. Johnson was double covered, still almost made the catch and subsequently the Saints were called for a penalty on the play.

The fade-stop should be a staple in the red zone for the Lions. We should see 60-100 touchdowns over the next 5-7 years from Stafford to Johnson on the fade-stop.

Thank you, Ernie!

Wouldn't it be nice if Detroit had cheerleaders?

This is a segment I'm going to add to my weekly column. Just a little something to help my readers as we continue to suffer under the tyranny of the Ford's and their incomprehensible aversion to professional dance teams.

Currently only six of the NFL's 32 franchises have chosen to go without the all important cheer brigades--Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago, and the New York Giants.

Week 1: Detroit Obliterated; Oven set to 450.

OK, it’s taken me two days to digest the sheer disaster that was week 1 of the Detroit Lions 2009 season.

And yes, it only took two quarters of play for me to make a run at putting my head in the oven…which is actually an improvement. Last year it was less than 10 minutes.

Could that really be considered improvement? I guess. If that is improvement, what then would the average Lions need to consider a week or the season a success?

A win? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Granted, wins and losses are what the rest of the league judges itself on, but that can’t be true in Detroit. If it were, we’d all have our heads in the oven.

No, we need a new standard to judge ourselves against.

Something new to try and hang our hats on.

And I’ve discovered it. Rookies.

First let me preface this whole idea with one fact. From the year 2000-2007, the Detroit Lions have had their hands on 71 draft picks, which via trade or picking netted them 57 players--more than a 53 man NFL roster. A grand total of 7 of those players remain on the team. Jeff Backus and Dominic Raiola (2001) are mediocre offensive lineman who have started almost their entire careers, neither having ever known even a .500 record. No players remain from 2002-2005. 2006 netted Ernie Simms, a potential pro-bowl linebacker and Daniel Bullocks who is on IR again for the second straight year. 2007, Millen's last year, brought Calvin Johnson, an All-Star reciever, Drew Stanton, a 3rd string QB, and Manny Ramirez, a backup guard.

So of 71 picks and 57 players over 8 years, the Lions have only managed four players starting for them, only two of the "potentially" special.

The jury is still out on Matt Millen's last draft, 2008. It potentially may have been his best one. Seven of the nine players selected are at least still with the team. Although, we are only a single year removed from that draft.

Round	Overall	Player	Pos.	College
1	17	Cherilus, Gosder (from Min through KC)	T	Boston College
2	45	Dizon, Jordon	LB	Colorado
3a.	64	Smith, Kevin(from Mia)	RB	Central Florida
3b.	87	Fluellen, Andre(from Cle)	DT	Florida State
3c.	92	Avril, Cliff(from Dal)	DE	Purdue
5a.	136	Moore, Kenneth(from Mia through KC)	WR/PR	Wake Forest
5b.	146	Felton, Jerome(from NO)	FB	Furman
7a.	216	Cohen, Landon	DT	Ohio
7b.	218	Campbell, Caleb(from NO)	LB	Army

Cherilus is the starting RT and was able to hold off Jon Jansen a 10 year NFL vet to keep his job. Dizon is a good special teamer and has vastly improved as a backup linebacker. Kevin Smith is the starting RB and has shown flashes of being an every down back capable of over 1000 yards rushing and 50 receptions. Fluellen is in the DL rotation and playing. Cliff Avril led the team with five sacks last year and is being counted on to provide some sort of pass rush. Jerome Felton is the backup full back and the short yardage back. And Landen Cohen is getting significant playing time at the DT position.

Again, these guys are at least playing which says a lot in comparison to Millen's other 7 drafts.

So here we are in 2009 with a new GM and a new coach and hopefully different results. The first and most important thing to notice about this draft is that every draft pick made the team. The top seven players are all on the active roster and the three seventh rounders all were good enough to make the practice squad.

PK(OVR)	NAME	POS	SCHOOL
1(1)	Matthew Stafford	QB	Georgia
20(20)	Brandon Pettigrew	TE	Oklahoma State
1(33)	Louis Delmas	S	Western Michigan
12(76)	DeAndre Levy	OLB	Wisconsin
18(82)	Derrick Williams	WR	Penn State
15(115)	Sammie Lee Hill	DT	Stillman
19(192)	Aaron Brown	RB	TCU
19(228)	Lydon Murtha	OT	Nebraska
26(235)	Zack Follett	OLB	California
46(255)	Dan Gronkowski	TE	Maryland

So, what do Lions fans have to watch...progress. We are looking at Calvin Johnson, Ernie Simms, and fourteen other players either in their first or second year headlined by the #1 overall pick Matt Stafford. This should be a team that is becoming very young and hopefully should improve by leaps and bounds over the year...and maybe one day...I don't know if I should even say it...maybe even win a game.

Ernie Harwell has terminal cancer; Not much longer for the Voice of the Turtle

For, lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come,
And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. --Song of Solomon 3:11-12

Yesterday, Ernie Harwell held a teleconference with the media to announce that he has been diagnosed with inoperable cancer.

Harwell, 91, was the voice of the Detroit Tigers from 1960-2002 and to me he will always represent the Tigers in my mind. When I think about 1984 or 1987, Kirk Gibson, Jack Morris, Sweet Lou Whitaker, Tommy Brookens "The Pennsylvania Poke"...every player who ever wore the Old English "D", the sound in the background is always Ernie.

"He stood there like the house by the side of the road."

George Kell and Ernie Harwell were what baseball sounded like in Michigan during my childhood. And it wasn't always Ernie's southern drawl...he had a gift for just the right amount of pause. So that the sounds of the ballpark rolled through your mind and you were right there in a seat on the third base line listening to the hot dog vendor screaming and smelling the peanuts.

"That one was caught by a fan from Petoskey."

In 1948, the Brooklyn Dodgers traded catcher Cliff Dapper to Atlanta to acquire Harwell. The only recorded time a player was traded for an announcer.

In his Hall of Fame career, Ernie broadcasted for the Dodgers, in 1948-49, the New York Giants, 1950-53, Baltimore Orioles, 1954-59, and finally the Tigers, 1960-2002 (missed 1992 after firing, did only television 1994-98).

"He's out for excessive window shopping"

This news comes especially hard to this Tigers fan. George Kell passed just a few months ago, Mark "The Bird" Fydrich passed just last year, and now Ernie.

The stadium at the corner of Michigan and Trumbell is in pieces, almost totally gone now.

The auto industry, the bread and butter of Michigan, is in shambles. Foreclosure rates in Michigan are at depression levels. Unemployment is skyrocketing....

I guess, this just seems to be piling on.

"That ball is looooong gone!"

Even with his terminal prognosis, Ernie continues to be upbeat.

"We don't know how long this lasts," Harwell said in the phone interview. "It could be a year, it could be much less than a year, much less than a half a year. Who knows?

"Whatever's in store, I'm ready for a new adventure. That's the way I look at it."

Ernie was a gift and in a time where things in the big mitten seem to be falling apart on a monumental scale, this hurts. Ernie's voice resonates in my mind like the voice of a relative in another room. And in a way, this feels like a relative has been handed horrible news.

So what do we have to look forward to?

Strangely, the Tigers. The team is currently in first place in September...in an exciting race to the pennant. The Magic number is down to 25. Justin Verlander is a real Cy Young candidate and Miguel Cabrera is a legitimate MVP candidate.

"Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life."--Ernie Harwell.

"Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet, as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes almost even a religion." --Ernie Harwell

"But most of all, I'm a part of you people out there who have listened to me, because especially you people in Michigan, you Tiger fans, you've given me so much warmth, so much affection and so much love." --Ernie Harwell

Ernie was a gift to the people of Michigan during hard times as well as good times. During the '67 riots, during the '68 and '84 seasons...for most of my life. He will be sorely missed.

Thanks Ernie.

2009 Detroit Lions season only two weeks away….how many weeks will you be able to make it before you stick your head in an oven?

Hey, welcome back. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this site up and a lot of bad, bad things have happened to the Detroit Lions in the mean time.

I’ll admit, that like many in Detroit at the end of the last century, the idea of a fresh new face coming in and running the franchise was a welcomed site.

But that person turned out to be Matt Millen. And I’ll also admit, that like many others…I was willing to believe that he was the shining knight that would come in and save the franchise.

After five years of showing that being part of organizations that win championships by no means dictates that you have a clue how to do it yourself, Matt Millen received a contract extension from the most clueless owner in professional sports history. He then proceeded to build the single biggest farce of a football team, let alone “professional” football team, in the history of organized sport.

So now, we have a new organization—new coach, new gm and a shiny new quarterback. Hopefully a new gm that will show that being part of the biggest disaster in professional sports for eight years dictates that you know how to avoid being the biggest disaster in professional sports for another three years.

Now before news was released yesterday that Daunte Culpepper has cut open his toe and required eight stitches (eight stitches? Did his toe almost fall off or does he wear a size 36 shoe?) and won’t be available for the final preseason game this Thursday against the Buffalo Bills, I believed that the Lions plan was to start Culpepper for the first six games of the season.

Why?

Because if you look at the schedule below, the chances of the Lions roaring out of the gate and going 0-6 is pretty good. In my opinion the second half of the schedule is where the winnable games for the Lions are. You don’t want your team savior to be tied to a six game losing streak (let alone a 23 game franchise losing streak.) So you sit him for the horrible opening stretch and instill him during the bye week.

Is that what’s going to happen now that Culpepper “stubbed” his toe? Who knows. But once they play Matthew Stafford, there’s no going back. You can’t pull him and screw with the kids head, a la Joey Blue Skies. Perhaps, Culpepper will heal his gargantuan feet in time for the opener in twelve days and they’ll be able to stick to their plan, but if he doesn’t, you better hope Mr. Culpepper never takes a Lions snap again this season.
