The Lions' Pride

Yeah, really. Jackson is a powerful bruising every down back. Played in an offense that was behind a lot, with a so-so QB in Bradford, and whoever else QB'd there. Atlanta is fairly loaded on offense with 3 above average wr's, a future HOF tight-end, and a much better QB than St. L ever had. He should run against defenses that can't crowd the box which should afford him the chance to get a lot of yards, and possibly some TD's that Turner couldn't do this past year.

Kurt Warner ... you mean the QB Jackson never played behind?

Good for him, hopefully he can work his way back into the league, but I highly doubt it.

Huh? Not even sure what to make of this. Pretty sure Ferrigamo was their QB too.

No problem. I was just confused by the comment.

Eagles Aquire Arreliuos Benn and a 7th rd pick for a 6th rd pick this year and a conditional next year.

I love the move. Very low risk. I always thought Benn had talent. I remember sitting in the stands at Illinois when he broke a punt (or kickoff) return touchdown against PSU. He has good size as well.

Aaron Rodgers is not going to happy with this. They were significantly worse on offense without Jennings.

Saw on another board that Dan Connor signed with the Giants. Don't have confirmation yet.

I love what they are doing. The word that seems to best describe their offseason thus far is responsible. They have a ton of cap space but aren't spending just to spend (like say the Dolphins or Chiefs). They are signing below the radar guys or players coming off of subpar seasons to team friendly, market neutral deals. I also love the creativity to go get a guy like Benn who has proven to be a difference maker on ST and maybe even blossom as a receiver under Chip Kelly.

As for the draft, the team has positioned themselves via FA to not have many glaring holes. They still need talent but that can come from anywhere. I will be happy with whatever they do, be it Milliner, Joekel/Fisher, Floyd/Star or Jordan. I cannot, however, hide my desire to have a weapon like Jordan on D. He could be an absolute nightmare who can play all over the field. Chip obviously knows him well enough to know if he is worth the #4 pick. Ideally we trade back a few slots and can still get DJ towards the back end of the top 10 while adding a 2nd round pick to get a safety.

The loss of tradition sucks but few teams want to leave the comforts of their modern training centers for old style training camp at a small college.

It's true, and this Giants fan is happy to have a Lion back on the team. Love what Blackburn's given us, but Dan's an upgrade.

I think his agent was trying to sucker the broncos into paying the guaranteed $12m.

Very bizarre to think of Brian Urlacher and Ed Reed on different teams.
