http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/teams/detroit_lions/52 Recent articles about Detroit Lions en-us The Detroit Lions haven’t always been the necessary landing spot for top free agents in years past.  The Lions seem to be a player or two away now from establishing some sort of post season tradition, and running back Reggie Bush might be the guy to help get them over the hump. Bush was with his new team for the start of their OTAs, and let it be known that he’s about his business, and he’s in Detroit to win championships according to the Detroit News.  “I came here to work,” Bush said, via the Detroit News. “I didn’t come here to vacation. I came here to win championships, to win football games, and that’s what I look forward to doing.” Bush also admitted that right now, he’s happier with the Lions than he ever was with the Saints or Dolphins. “Some guys have been asking me, ‘How was Miami? How was South Beach,’” he said. “I tell them, you know, it’s nice but if the football isn’t right, it doesn’t matter where you are at.

Signing a four-year contract with Detroit in March worth roughly $20 million, Schwartz also plans to frequently target the 28-year-old Bush as a receiver and use the former Trojan as a full-time, three-down back. Splitting carries with youngster Lamar Miller in Miami, the 6-foot, 203 pound Bush rushed for 986 yards and six touchdowns as a Dolphin in 2012. Compiling 2,730 yards and 15 scores as a receiver since debuting in 2006, the wannabe Heisman Trophy winner will compensate for … Continue reading → Thu, 23 May 2013 01:05:22 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/detroit_lions_head_coach_jim_schwartz_plans_to_use_reggie_bush_as_a_runner_receiver_and_return_specialist/13676522 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/detroit_lions_head_coach_jim_schwartz_plans_to_use_reggie_bush_as_a_runner_receiver_and_return_specialist/13676522 Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz plans to use Reggie Bush as a runner, receiver and return specialist http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/detroit_lions_head_coach_jim_schwartz_plans_to_use_reggie_bush_as_a_runner_receiver_and_return_specialist/13676522 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/4/0/4090294a2bf87a1e992f02d5f2946933aebca5bc/mini/detroit-lions-new-orleans.jpg     The key for the Lions this year is really simple in my humble opinion. The team won 10 games and made the playoffs for the first time in 12 years in the 2011 season following 40 Touchdowns and 16 INTs from quarterback Matthew Stafford. But then fell to just 4 win in 2012 after Stafford only managed to throw 20 Touchdowns and 17 INTs. Coincidence? I think not. The success of the Lions will mainly hinge on the progression of their young signal caller. Not just on the field, as a key component of taking that next step as a quarterback is becoming a leader. Stafford talked with the media Wednesday  and had a quick response when asked whether or not he feels this is his team. Per DetroitLions.com: ”Yeah, absolutely,” Stafford said. “I’m a year older. I’ve been through it that much longer. I think guys on the team understand that and respond to it.”‘ I think a good sign was the fact that Stafford answered so confidently.

Reggie Bush has gone from Hollywood to the French Quarter to South Beach to Greenfield Village? This new job with the Detroit Lions is providing quite a change in scenery and nightlife opportunities for Bush. He played in college at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, spent the first five years of his NFL career in New Orleans and then played the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins. Its going to be a lot different now. Bush goes to practice and works out in Allen Park, where the Lions have their headquarters. The top landmark? Try that historical museum, Greenfield Village, in nearby Dearborn. Asked if theres going to be enough excitement around here considering what hes used to, Bush said, I came here to work, I didnt come here to vacation. I came here to win championships and win football games. Thats what I look forward to doing. Others, even teammates, remain curious about his past stops.

However, for the past three years he has been an underrated commodity and a great leader for the team. He has flown under the radar for the majority of his ten year career, but has managed to rack up over 5000 receiving yards and 38 touchdowns. He turns 32 in August, but the seasoned veteran still has plenty left in the tank. Drafted out of the University of Nevada in the 2003 NFL draft, Burleson instantly showed promise for the Minnesota Vikings. The third round pick was a constant presence on the field, playing both receiver and on special teams. In 2004, Burleson really made his mark, netting 1006 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Burleson signed with Seattle in 2006, where he played four impressive seasons for the Seahawks. He didn’t see much time at receiver, but made the most of his opportunities as a punt and kick returner, and became one of the biggest return threats in the NFL.

Let's first evaluate some important and crucial numbers from last season and predict how the Lions will do this season.Vital 2012 Stats:Points Scored: 23.2 point per game (Ranked 17th)Rushing: 100.8 yards per game (Ranked 23rd)Passing: 307.9 yards per game (Ranked 2nd)I won't elaborate on the team's defense/special teams but the Lions didn't have a defensive touchdown and had only one touchdown via punt return.We can assume the Lions offense will only get better due to the acquisition of Reggie Bush. Bush is a versatile running back and will easily average more rushing yards per game this season than the Lions averaged all of last season. His presence will also open up Calvin Johnson, who didn't have as many touchdowns as his fantasy owners would have hoped.Let's take a look at their 2013 schedule and evaluate.2013 Schedule:Week 1 - Sept. 8 - vs. Minneso...

This was proven when Nickelback was the halftime show a few Thanksgiving Day games ago. To really nail out the idea home, the team has decided to kill that most American of traditions, The Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl, in order to create a college bowl game of its own at Ford Field. ESPN reports that the Lions are planning to start up and run its own bowl game at Ford Field starting in 2014. This would replace the beloved Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl, and give a great American company headquartered in Detroit the finger. What a disgusting thing to do to a company that boldly remained in the Motor City while other companies have left it for dead. The new bowl would reportedly have tie-ins with the Big Ten and ACC, leaving the MAC out in the cold. Again, the Lions hate America by ending the proud tradition of a matchup between a worthy  MAC team and team from the Big Ten/Sun Belt if there isn't a bowl eligible B1G team, worthy at-large tea...

Johnson caught 122 passes for an NFL-record 1,964 yards last season, putting up incredible numbers despite the fact that the rest of the offense was inconsistent. The Lions went 4-12, but after signing Reggie Bush in the offseason, they hope Johnson will have a little more help this year. Johnson met with reporters Monday. He was coy when asked how badly his fingers were hurt last year, saying he ''had a couple injuries to them'' - but nothing that affected his play much.

Photo Credit: Gavin Smith/DetroitLions.com PFT’s story disputes a report from the Detroit News, which includes a Q-and-A with the 6-5, 236-pound wide out that contains no specific quote where Megatron claims to have played with broken fingers. While the team has yet to address the contention—which is really a non-issue at this point—it doesn’t change the fact that Johnson played through the “Madden curse” and injured fingers and regularly battled double teams, yet somehow he still managed to tear up the stats sheet with a career-high 122 catches and 1,964 yards (with five TDs) in 2012. In six seasons, Megatron has appeared in 92 games (87 starts) and collected a whopping 488 receptions for 7,836 yards and 54 scores.  Don’t be surprised if the former 2007 first round pick (No. 2 o...

Trying to straighten them things out, Johnson said of the crooked fingers on his left hand. Johnson said he wasnt certain exactly when he suffered the injury. It was never reported by the Lions on their mandatory injury updates. You just think its something thats hurting and you keep playing, Johnson said. During an interview with reporters Monday morning at the teams headquarters in Allen Park, Mich., Johnson also addressed the off-field troubles of former teammate Titus Young. Young remains in jail in Riverside, Calif., after being arrested three times in less than a week. Very tough, Johnson said. Just pray he can get his off-the-field stuff straight so he can move on with his life. You can never foresee things like this but I wish him the best. Were praying for him.

He did so with broken fingers. Johnson confirmed to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News that he had broken fingers in addition to his knee issues last season. What is not know is how many fingers were broken. Rumors in February placed the number as high as three. The news makes Johnson’s 2012 season all the more impressive. Johnson will turn 28 during the 2013 season but is right in his prime years. The Lions should be set on one side of the field for years to come considering Johnson signed an eight-year contract worth $132 million last March. That deal will keep him in a Lions uniform through 2019.

However, as Woodson tours teams, the one who stops posturing will win his services.

When asked if would like to play for the Lions, Woodson replied: "If I make it out of my visit with Oakland, like I just made it out of the visit with Denver, then I'm open," Woodson said, via Angelique S.
