35-27 Win over Browns should be death knell for Kevin Smith

These are some things I think I think about the Leo's after, what I consider, a less than promising display against the Browns Saturday afternoon...

  • If Aaron Brown consistently ran like he did on Saturday all last season, the Lions would have thought twice about drafting Jahvid Best.
  • The power running of Jerome Felton gives me more than enough confidence that he can be the Lions full time full back or short yardage machine.
  • The developments of Brown and Felton should make the possibility of Maurice Morris or Kevin Smith getting cut very likely--practically speaking, they could both be cut.
  • If DeAndre Levy is really hurt...the Lions need to get on the phone with Kansas City to find out white kind of package they can put together to get LB Derrick Johnson, and hopefully SS Jarard Page too.
  • Matthew Stafford could have a very big year.
  • Jahvid Best is a stud.
  • Until opposing defenses start double covering Bryant and Calvin Johnson on the outside in the red zone, I'd throw fades and fade stops to each on every down.
  • Erik King would look really, really good in a Chicago Bears or Green Bay Packer uniform...that way he could quit killing us. If he covers a receiver in Buffalo on Thursday night, it'll be the first time he's covered anybody this entire off season.
  • Get used to seeing opposing teams running the no huddle offense against the Lions. It pretty much eliminates the threat of the DL and completely exposes the worst defensive secondary in the league.
  • Randy Phillips should make this team and could still beat out CC Brown to start.
  • Zach Follet still needs a lot of work.
