who would you like to see in a lion uniform that can be the tipping point that we need to be feared in the NFL again. try not to be too outrageous like pulling brady out of NE to lead us out of despair.
i would like to see earnest wilfork (think that is how you spell it) play for us on defense, and David Garrard on offense. with those two guys that we will probably never be able to get we would sure up alot of things on this team. garrard solid, consistent, with a good arm. wilfork massive, disruptive, and IMO perfect fit for us. just a weird thought that i wondered what everyone else thought about it. so come on what 2 guys would you like to see play for us to tip things over the edge positively for us.
Defense - Mario Williams is a perfect fit for what we are doing and what we want. He would disrupt so many plays and make the whole defense better. He is a difference maker. The Texans knew what they were doing when the world scoffed.
Offense - Joe Thomas is the anchor that we need and with his athletisism would be perfect for the new Zone scheme. He should probowl every year he plays.
Shawn Alexander...
Number 1 free agent running back on the market right now and that is a large hole that need to be filled with the Lions. Right now they are expecting this rookie running back to come in and support the team. To be successful in the NFL you must be able to run and that is why we could use an experienced running back like Shawn Alexander.
Alexander is a bad choice. He's old, has a lot of miles on him, lacks hunger, has had too many injuries, and would require too much money. There were a bunch of articles that covered the same thing. On top of it, he is too slow and runs too soft to get through the tiny holes our o-line creates. Even if he could perform, he would not make us a superbowl contender and would not be worth the money for a few years of service.
