Daunte Culpepper knows it's the end for him

Via Just Sports And Just Us  |  July 02, 2012
There was a point when it looked like Daunte Culpepper would be one of the best NFL quarterbacks that would ever play. Once a debilitating knee injury hit him he wasn't the same player. He lost it just as fast as Jake Delhomme and Steve Blass. But I'll give Culpepper credit. He's not trying to hang on. His last game action came with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of...

Lions safety Spievey gets wake-up call

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  July 03, 2012
(This is the fourth in a series examining the Detroit Lions highly-scrutinized secondary.) Safety Amari Spievey already knew his lack of consistency was a concern to the Lions' coaching staff. Now he knows it more than ever since the club acquired veteran free agent Sean Jones. Spievey started 24 games in his first two seasons, including 15 last year, but that first-team job...

Justin Durant not happy with teammates off field behavior, blames 2011 season as culprit

Via 60 Max Power O  |  July 03, 2012
“Smart Decisions,” is what linebacker Justin Durant wants his teammates to understand. Durant obviously feels that the Lions tumultuous off-season littered with DUI’s and drug arrests, have marred the breakout season the Lions enjoyed in 2011. Durant participated in a chat at Freep.com and let his feelings be known: “We just have to be smarter regardless of age right...

Schwartz earned new deal, but team needs work

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  July 02, 2012
In one sense, it seems a little odd to be giving Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz a multi-year contract extension at a time when the discipline of his team is being so seriously questioned. After all, the Lions lead the league in off-season arrests with six. They weren't exactly the most disciplined group on the field last season either. But the confirmation that Schwartz has...

Detroit Lions content with current group of running backs

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  July 01, 2012
The 2011 Detroit Lions offense was pass-centric as QB Matthew Stafford threw for over 5,000 yards in his first season starting all 16 regular season games. The prolific passing game might not have been by design, but rather out of necessity as the Lions struggled all season in order to find a consistent running game. Injuries plagued the group the entire season and while the Lions...

Jahvid Best Boom or Bust…

Via Fantasy Football SPIN  |  July 01, 2012
Jahvid Best has a tough time staying healthy but he's one of the players that will probably give fantasy owners fits on draft day. Despite all of his injuries there is a lot of hype coming out of the Lions organization regarding Best and a potential breakout season. He will have a prime opportunity to stake his claim to the Lion's share of Lion's carries and catches...

Wild Crazy Offseason Earns Lions Schwartz a New Deal But is He Worthy.

Via Cippin on Sports  |  July 02, 2012
With the wild and crazy offseason that the Detroit Lions have gone through they sign their coach that has changed their team and franchise around. The season before Schwartz was hired the Lions went 0-16. He improved in wins every year and he eventually took the Lions to the playoffs last season where they lost to the New Orleans Saints.

Morning Huddle - all about decision making

Via This Given Sunday  |  July 03, 2012
This is my suggestion for how the Lions can punish players that get arrested. In a recent online chat at Freep.com, Justin Durant of the Detroit Lions expressed disappointment with teammates' offseason decision making in regards to the Lions' 6 arrests. While it may seem obvious, leaders within the Lions' locker room need to step up in these situations, and hold themselves...
