Part of the problem with young players is you need a coaching staff to keep them focused. It's a sad day. I really liked CHarles Rogers at Michigan State and I hated Mike WIlliams at first but he grew on me. THat said, he was never exactly skinny and in shape.

Either way, I really want to see the Lions do well. I've been pulling for them ever since they've had the best player in league history IMO (Barry Sanders). Feel bad for teams who are consistantly in the basement.

I agree. I'd like to see the Lions turn it around, too. But only because I hated Matt Millen as a broadcaster, and I don't want to see him doing color anymore.

I think that part of the reason those wide outs don't have any disclipine is because there is no veteran leadership on that team. Not at wide out at least and Maricucci was a sissy. He lets players walk all over him. I remember during the Thanksgiving game they were saying that Roy Williams told them that he was looking for a vet to teach him how to do certain things in the NFL. ie study film. Without that, it's hard to get players to focus and play up to their potential.
