Mike McMahon might loose his 2nd string job to Rick Mirer a third stringer who turns bad plays into good ones. Mike McMahon has been looking great in practice reported by sporting news, but doesn't show his great skill in the games. Rick Mirer is just the oppisite. Steve marriucci is probaly looking for a quaterback who has great accuracy not just a great arm. I wouldn't be suprised if Rick Mirer gets a little more playing time in the next pre-season game against baltimore with his great accuracy against the tough ravens defense.
The rookies Kevin Jones and Roy Williams looked ok in the browns game. If Kevin Jones and Roy Williams had more touches and better options, they will make great rookies and will help the team with their playoff doubt. Joey Harrington and Charles Rodgers are begining to get a better understanding of each other and to know where each other are when there is heavy pressure.
The defense is looking good with Donte Curry inpressing the coaches with his heavy tackling and also Chris Kern with his abillity to always get in on the play. Brock Marion finished the game with 1 hurry and 2 tackles against the browns loss. I am noticing that the secondary is getting better every game. Even though there are all of these good things happening there is still help needed in the lions linebackers with the injuries of Boss Baily and James Davis. Walt Rainer is I think one of the best canidates. I would really like to see the lions sign a linebacker that has a good quanity of special skills before the season starts.
More to come later.
