Drew Stanton Impersonating Matthew Stafford?

Posted: 29th December 2009 by Derrick Dennis in NFL
IÆd like to take this opportunity to explain something to everybody: Drew Stanton isnÆt the savior of the Detroit Lions. If you thought he was going to get the start against San Francisco and torch their defense, you obviously had a little too much eggnog. Now, I didnÆt expect him to be great when he finally got the start.á I expected him to be able to play at the ...

My Concerns With The Detroit Lions

Posted: 20th November 2009 by Derrick Dennis in NFL
There have been some things that I like about this new coaching regime, like the fact that most of this year's draft picks look to have more potential than any Lions drafted in the Millen Era not named Ernie Sims, Shaun Rogers, or Calvin Johnson. For the most part, I'm willing to give Jim Schwartz a two or three-season pass. With that being said, if he is so ...

Thank You Drew Stanton.

Well, I've been tackling this topic for about three straight weeks now and does anybody still feel the need to defend Daunte Culpepper being the number two quarterback? I don't wish injury on any player and I hate that Culpepper had to leave the game that way. I'd rather him have been benched, but I'd be lying if I wasn't happy to finally see Drew Stanton in the ...

Lions Lose In A Special Way

Posted: 4th October 2009 by Derrick Dennis in NFL
Well it turns out that I was both wrong and right in my prediction of the Bears and Lions game. It turns out that neither quarterback reverted back to their multiple interception selves. Stafford did throw one interception but it was more bad luck than anything. Stafford didn't see Tommy Harris who had fallen down. When he got up the ball fell right into his lap. Stafford torched the Bears' mighty ...

The Real Detroit Lions QB Controversy

Posted: 27th September 2009 by Derrick Dennis in NFL
You know, when I hear that Daunte Culpepper should be starting, it boggles my mind more and more each time. I mean, call me crazy, but the last time I checked, at the end of this season, Daunte Culpepper's contract ends. Now, on the other hand, the current starting quarterback, Matthew Stafford is under a very large contract until the end of the 2014 season. Then there is Drew Stanton, who ...

Its Now Or St.Louis

Posted: 25th September 2009 by Derrick Dennis in NFL
So far the season has gone as expected, we all knew the Lions would most likely get killed by the Saints high powered offense but we actually held up better than Philly did. Sure Mcnabb was hurt, BUT WERE THE LIONS! I think that trumps any silly rib injury. In week two we all knew we had a shot against the Vikings because have played them tough in our last few ...

This Is What the Lions Have Been Missing

Posted: 23rd September 2009 by Derrick Dennis in NFL
That is exactly what The Lions have been missing, a safety with a backbone. Corwin Brown wasn't exactly the best safety we had but I'll always remember him for that hit on Keyshawn Johnson. I wonder if he still wanted the damn ball after that one. In my opinion a safety needs to have a certain swagger, a mentality that he's going to demolish whatever receiver has the misfortune of ...

Defensive Line A Weakness?

Posted: 13th September 2009 by Derrick Dennis in NFL
Do you know what gets on my nerves? People who actually get paid to write about sports for a living, but seemingly don't know what the hell they are talking about. I can understand that the Lions don't demand the obvious attention that they Steelers, Colts, or Patriots do, but come on. These people are still getting paid to cover them and the least they could do is put out an article ...
