Caleb Campbell is back in the NFL. It took two years but he's finally back, and I have a few words for him. Welcome Back. The Detroit Lions announced April 30 that Caleb Campbell, along with seven undrafted rookies, would be signed to a contract. The most intriguing is of course, Caleb. Caleb was drafted in the 2008 draft by the Detroit Lions with the 218th overall selection, but having entered he was basing off ...

Mayhew sure does know how to confuse the Lions public. While he does always express the desire to trade down, he is also satisfied staying at the position. And his draft plans could become more evident with releases today, but what about visits? The Lions cut Pearson, Hobbs, and Witherspoon. But they also visited with Lito Sheppard. Now the question is, could they just be making room for free agents they can acquire at a ...

The NFL Draft and the lead up has become pretty standard in today's world. But what if the NFL Draft order was reversed? Could the players drafted fall down on board quicker, could players be sweeped up earlier? Well, today is the day, as for I'm going to personally go through each team as if the pick in this year's draft has been reversed. Starting with 32 as 1 and 1 as 32. These ...

The Lions has been very active in adding pieces to the puzzle in Detroit, but it seems that Daniel Loper is not a piece. The news today is the Detroit Lions have released Daniel Loper after one season with the team and playing under a former Titans coach in Jim Schwartz. Loper was a designated restricted free agent and had a tender of about $1,226,000. When Loper signed the tender, it was expected ...

While Donald Penn is the starting LT for the Tampa Bay Bucs, he has had a weight issue in the past and that issue was a problem last year and also makes the Bucs hesitant to do a long term deal with the player. This is where the Lions jump in. Penn was tagged with a first and third round tender, essentially making it impossible for any team ...

With the NFL Draft nearing, many fans are forgetting there are still free agents out there. Free agents that can help our team. While Detroit has been rather quiet on the signings front as of late, I still believe there are plenty of free agents that can help our team. Many remaining free agents will likely wait to sign with a team until after the draft, and see what role they would ...

While the draft nears, and Detroit interviews players, the question is: what is missing from Detroit's 4-3 defense to be successful? For those who don't know how to run a 4-3, I'll go through the basic steps to operating a successful 4-3, with certain player personnel groups. A 4-3 defense consists four men positioned on the line of scrimmage, while for a 3-4 three men are on the line of scrimmage.  Before ...

  Clausen isn't the hundredth best player in this year's draft, but is he number two? Is Clausen worth the second selection in this year's NFL Draft? No Detroit, before you get your feathers all ruffled, I'm not saying Detroit should take him. I'm just saying he helps Detroit in their pursuit to trade down and Clausen's chances of being a top five selection. The question is now, to whom could Detroit trade with? While many ...

The Detroit Lions currently have six safeties on their roster. Most notably, rookie safety Louis Delmas. Also on their roster is Ko Simpson, Kalvin Pearson, Marvin White, Marquand Manuel, and Daniel Bullocks. Daniel Bullocks is one to keep an eye on. This former Cornhusker was selected in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft, and has been a impact player when healthy—keyword, "healthy." While entering in as rookie for Detroit in 2006, Bullocks started ...

Sound the alarms, Detroit could set off a ticking time bomb if the commissioner says these words: "With the second selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select Russell Okung out of Oklahoma State." Before you all hit me with, "Ndamukong Suh will be taken at two," let me just point out this is just an hypothetical on what if Suh isn't selected second overall. Even I believe Detroit will take ...
