I would completely agree with that!

I think he was gone to NE at 42 if we had not taken him

I don't know but it doesn't fill me with confidence if the Lions' draft board is the same as the phins!

Schwartz took over last year and that guy knows defense. Lions draft last year was great. So I find comfort in this news. Lions under Mat Millen....eeh, not so much!! lol

Or you can look at it this way, the Lions never seem to pick the right guy, and they missed this guy in the draft so if he turns out great will be another Lions could have been.......

I'm confused. Why would some columnist in Detroit be shilling for one of our guys? If one of the Dolphins writers did that, we'd tear him up.

Hmmm interesting talk here ...

1. misi looks to be a good pick ... we'lll see.

2. Yep. Parcells strikes again. I'm tellin' ya theres a Dolphin mole in Allen Park.

As to putting a mole in the Detroit organization ... hmmm not sure they have shown the league how to draft that well over the years, but what the heck.

Imho, the Lions are a team on the upswing this year. I know, I know, lol the lions. But hey, after so many decades of failure, they're overdue..........right?

That is a tough division for them, and they draw the AFC East this year which is no help. But that is a team on the upswing and it might not be reflected in the "wins and losses" but that is a good team.

Their head coach is good. Stafford showed a lot last year, played through injuries, refused to come off the field, he has grit. Calvin is amazing and Nate Buerlson helps a lot to take the pressure off of him. Their Tight End is good. And he is revamping that defense now. In another couple years they will be legit!

I don't think I've ever seen anyone anywhere point to firing Fontes as a bad move. He was pretty terrible and I don't think got another job in the league afterwards. Plus he was in the NFC Champ game 5 years before getting canned, not the year before.

Fontes took several subpar teams to the playoffs. After the Lions fired him, they went downhill fast.

Fontes looked like my plumber! Guy was funny. Fred Flintstone coaching a football team
