Flattop, it too bad you cant send your GM to the Vikings or Bears. There is a future GM in Green Bay that is showing a lot of promise. His last name is Wolf and he learned a lot from his dad.
For what its worth...I expect the Lions to do well this year.Its just sad..... we have the wings, pistons, and tigers all above average teams now and in the past but the lions???
Another Hawks fan?!?! Cool!

Have you noticed how nice it is the last few years not to have to explain that they're a professional football team? And yes, I now live in Tennessee, so I like your screenname.
Tennesseahawk;258886 The OL has not gotten better the whole time he's been here. Any football person in their right mind knows that you have to start at a foundation said:Hawk I could not agree with you more. Having played and couched high school football in the past the game is won in the trenches. OL & DL are the keys.
The lions have had decent DL in the past but the OL has been horrible. Sanders used to get knocked about the number of carries for a loss. That was because as soon as he touched the ball there were 2-4 guys on him as soon as he got it. Then to have the yards that he had was almost imortal.
But back to the OL. Look at all the great teams out there. They ALL have great O-lines. They open the holes for the backs and protect their QB's.
The speed guys get all the money, glamoure and the girls but its the big guys who win the championships.
Just thought of the perfect example. Emmit Smith was nothing more than a good RB. He got his records behind a great OL. In fact, he usually had 5 yds before he was even touched!
