A good pickup for the Lions

Lions added a little more depth in the secondary with the addition of R.W. McQuarters. Will put the pressure on Chris Cash, Andre Goodman, and Stanley Wilson to perform if they want to be in the nickel and dime packages.

Call me crazy, but I like the Lions' chances this year of breaking .500 and possibly the playoffs. A little weak on the offensive line, but a strong set of skilled position players should keep defenses on their toes. And of course a GAPING hole at Quarterback. Harrington is just about useless (personally I would trade him for a sleeve of Gatorade cups and consider that a big win). Jeff Garcia? We'll see. With a good crop of receivers and a strong running game, maybe he'll put up the numbers that he put up in San Francisco.

Ah, if we could only rewind to the Scott Mitchell days. At least the Lions were regulars in the playoffs then =)

Will be weird flipping on the tube and catching the Lions just after breakfast out here.

It will be interesting to see if they go after Ty Law still. I think they have the best secondary that they have ever had.

Harrington is the best quarterback to ever play pee-wee football. Come on. He can make the transition. Wait. Nevermind. He stinks and Garcia may not be any better.

Tell you what, Law and Bly on the corners is pretty scary... gives the defense a big opportunity to play aggressive with two corners like that.

Sign Law, and they can probably trade Cash or Goodman for some depth at the OL or DL.
