Lions looking good!!!

The Detroit Lions played the pre-season opener very well and organized. Not very many mistakes made by them. Joey Harrington is looking great especially with precision passing. He and Charles rodgers will make a great combination and also the add of Roy Williams will help Joey if Charles is covered. He also has great help from the offensive line. They blocked pretty well with the offseason move of Damien Woody and Former Michigander Dave Pearson who played at Michigan last year. The secondary and defense looked pretty bad because of the injuries. Dre' Bly, (hip flexor) Fernado Bryant, (knee) and Brock Marion, (shoulder) are looking to play within the next couple games. I wouldn't be suprised if the lions decide to rest the three secondary starts because I wouldn't want to see them get hurt before the season starts. Kevin Jones did not play either, (injury) but is probable for next game. If the lions don't have lots of injuries, they could be a wild card contender or a playoff contender but that will be if the lions play smart. More to come later.

P.S. the lions beat the steelers 27 to 21.
