Detroit Lions (SideLion Report)
TEAMS: Detroit Lions,  Tennessee Titans,  Chicago Bears,  Minnesota Vikings,  Green Bay Packers
PLAYERS: Dan Orlovsky,  Dwight Smith,  Paris Lenon,  Cory Redding,  John Madden,  Rex Grossman,  Kyle Orton,  Kevin Jones,  Thomas Jones,  Cedric Benson,  Tarvaris Jackson,  Kalvin Pearson,  Brian Kelly,  Drew Stanton,  Jon Kitna,  Shaun Cody,  Mike Williams,  Shaun Rogers,  Kevin Smith,  Calvin Johnson,  Roy Williams,  Tatum Bell,  Leigh Bodden,  Adrian Peterson
Team MVP: Quarterback Jon Kitna. Anything the Lions will try to accomplish on offense will revolve around their bible thumping QB. He can put up the numbers, as 8000+ yards the past 2 seasons attest.

    It wouldn't surprise me the Lions did make a run. AZS. But they have absolutely no depth, thanks to Millen's cap management, or lack thereof. An injury or two to a key player (Kitna, Smith, CJ, Roy, Bodden, take your pick), and the Lions will be deep, deep trouble.

    Unfortunately, Millen is never, ever going away. He's like a zombie. You can't kill him.
