Matthew Stafford started throwing this week, which is a good sign, but in Lionsland you can't believe everything you see. I still am thoroughly convinced he will not take another snap this year. If he does it's a bonus, if he doesn't...that's the Lions luck.
Jahvid Best is back, pretty much to full strength. So look for a pretty good running day. Former Lion James Hall is no Clay Matthews or Julius Peppers and Chris Long may never live up to his #1 overall draft pick status.
The Kansas Kid needs to have a big day and take full advantage of Megatron against (we say this every week!) those smaller cornerbacks.
The Rams have built their team in pretty much completely the opposite way the Lions did. They built a defensive line (although it can be debated how well they've built that D-Line) and an offensive line and then went and got their QB. They're 2-2...Lions are 0-4 and have been much worse much longer.
If it turns out that Chris Houston and Alphonso Smith are pretty good DB's and Delmas lives up to the hype...and Amari Spievey takes over for C.C. Brown and looks as good as a third round safety should look...I still think the Lions need to draft a corner with their first pick next year.
But there are a lot of "if"'s in that last paragraph. We'll see.
I remember the year Stevin Jackson came out, it was the year the Lions took Roy Williams and Kevin Jones. I remember watching him the fall before at Oregon State, where he looked like a man among boys. The guy is still a stud and well, you know where Roy and Kevin ended up...
