If Printers shows well, it's pretty clear that both Pierce and Jackson get a ticket out of town at the end of the year. Both are making pretty big coin, and neither have shown consistently that they can be "the guy". (I am seriously concerned about Pierce's long term health.) That would le...

"If it comes to that"? It just did. Does anyone here really believe Buck Pierce can go the balance of the season uninjured? When he does go down, and he will, in whom would you rather entrust our season - Travis Lulay or Casey Printers? I just don't see what we have to lose by bringing Pri...

I think retirement is a definite possibility. At this stage, football is likely compromising his growing real estate business and his family life. Jason may well have decided it is time to get on with the next phase of his life, and if so good for him...

If you look at the Minnesota Vikings, I think it is clear that if your last name is Williams, you must play defensive line.

The problem with bringing in Printers now is that he will have no time to learn the offense, or get in synch with his receivers. He would be going into a no win situation, much like he did in Hamilton two years ago. If someone were to sign him as a backup, (like, say, BC) that might work, as he coul...

In fairness to Jason, a lot of that loss of quickness can be chalked up to an accumulation of injuries. Jason played the game full out - he was always willing to throw a block against a DE or inside LB, and he would always go over the middle to make the play. A lot of guys develop alligator arms in ...

After reading all the facts, this might actually be a case where Mike Kelly wasn't wrong. Doesn't anyone remember Simpson pulling this same act in BC, upset that he couldn't be an every down defensive player here? Barrin is simply not a team guy - he is all about the stats, and playing a style where...

Josh Boden was trouble with a capital "T" long before the Lions ever saw him. In hindsight, it was foolish to think that they could ever bring him around. He is clearly a sociopath, and an increasingly violent one at that. Sad story...

I know I keep saying this, but it bears repeating - Offensive Coordinator is THE most thankless job in football. You are always second guessed by fans and the media, and you are always the first one to be thrown under the bus by the Head Coach when the heat is on. (Poor Worman must have known his ti...

I misunderstood NFL practice roster rules, and Cromartie is of course correct - Corey can have one final year on the practice roster this year. Corey is still young - he is only 23 (he will be 24 in December), so I guess he feels there is no harm in pursuing his NFL dream for one more year. (He grad...

I saw that. Garcia will be quickly scooped up by a team with injury problems at QB. I doubt he stays unemployed for long...

I see that local boy Corey Mace has been cut by the Buffalo Bills yet again. This would be year three for Corey getting cut in Buffalo. He spent two years on the Bills practice roster in 2007 and 2008, and in that time got on the active roster for three games, but I do not believe that he is eligibl...

Tell you what - I don't want to hear anyone crying about the Lions never getting any breaks from the officials for a good year or so. We have been royally screwed ourselves over the years, but these things have a habit of evening themselves out, as we just saw...

I was actually angry to see Pierce in uniform last night. Hawkballer 14 nails it - if he is still reporting "concussion like symptoms" then he is nowhere near to being ready to play. I think it is irresponsible to have this guy in pads right now. Until such time as he is completely symptom...

I am afraid the talent gap between these two clubs is rather gaping at the moment. Maybe Montreal lets down, struggles with the time zone change, etc., but when I look at the offense Montreal runs, and the weapons Calvillo has at his disposal, I cringe to think of what he could do to our D. This is ...
