yeah I see other successful teams--and almost all are throwing on first down--obviously not every first down--but I'm not sure we've thrown on first down yet this season.I just don't see them playing to their strengths.


Agreed, Only thing I can think of is that stafford is blowing in practice like he is in games and they have lost some trust in him or something, but if that were the case they wouldn't set him up with 3rd and long constantly by running it. I don't know what they are thinking, but when everyone knows what your going to do, its not too hard to stop it that's for sure. We haven't had a good running game since Barry retired in my opinion. I am hoping that we can get Leshore going to give us a mediocre run game instead of a poor one, to help out the passing side.

Houston is back too. Drayton Florence who we just signed broke his arm, so luckily we get a couple back.
Looking for Leshoure to have a big day today!!

Leshoure, Hanson, and Hill, my MVPS for the lions this week, glad we finally have a running back defenses have to account for.
