2009 Lions Offseason/Preseason News Thread

Supposedly Linehan likes Stanton's game... We'll see how that plays out and if Stanton can not get injured for more than two quarters.

Linehan = new offensive coordinator.

He coached DC, iirc, so maybe he'd be able to get something out of the old man till we can bring in another QB next year or something. But after looking at the cap hit on DC, why keep him?

He seems like a coach with a pretty balanced agenda as far as run or pass goes. No?

Good news...borderline great news. We have an Off Co who likes someone on our team.

Linehan coached Steven Jackson in his best season as a pro...

Now we need an 'Orlando Pace' for Kevin Smith.


But in reality, I like the move. Linehan turned down the 49ers OC job, so he must've saw something he liked here (Calvin).

I've always thought it would be interesting to see the D Coord lobbying the Coach/GM to take a Defensive player early and the Off Coord lobbying the Coach/GM to take a Off player early.

Gunther and Linehan are prolly all smiles to each other and get behind close doors with the coach and start the sales pitch.

We really need to look at the available FAs mixed with whos available in the draft to get everything out of this offseason that we can.

[Tahoe]

Actually I haven't always thought that would be interesting, but I have do have some interest in it. Not that much though.

To be perfectly honest, about 5 mins ago was prolly the first I've ever thought about it.

2009 NFL Free Agents

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

Haynesworth, Asomugha, Suggs are locks to be franchised.

Peppers, Dansby and Brandon Jacobs MIGHT be franchised.

So it's safe to toss those 6 out, I think.

[WTFchris]

I'd like to see Vilma here depending on what we draft in the first round.

[Jethro34]

I would like to look at Tank Johnson and Andra Davis as backup plans. And what's going to happen with Philly's OT's? They're both old, but both are solid and UFA's.
