Leshoure can not go on PS. Only Riddick can of all RB's on roster. With Jed Collins signed I can see Swarmstradamus being right about Owens being cut. He has gotten his guarenteed money and offers nothing more than ST options. Theo fits more to past schemes and should fit into what Lombardi did in Nawlins.

Shhhh, dont mention that. You might give him a big head.

Yeah, I'd think Owens is probably a goner. Maybe he stays on through camp for injury protection purposes, but if the other 4 RBs are healthy I don't see any room for him...

There are limits to who can go on PS? I did not know that.

Overall I still dont think the Lions carry 5 RB's on the 53 man roster. Bush, Bell, Collins would seem like 3/4. I still think either Leshoure or Reddick get traded or cut.

You're counting the FB as a RB. I really don't think a team in the NFL would risk it with only 3 true RBs on the roster. Too many injuries. I think a FB needs to be viewed as a specialist and as a separate roster spot from the RBs.

4 RBs + a FB, imo.

I see 5 RB's on roster. Bush, Bell, Riddick, Leshoure, Collins. Having three viable options in short yardage package of Collins, Leshoure and Bell.

Yes there are rules for PS players. Like can't play more in more than 9? games. Never over 2 years with same team unless roster is under 53...funny rule there. Let me find a link to all rules.

It is possible we roll with 5. I'm not saying we wont. But I suppose that will depend on if we go 3 QB's (I think we will) or 6 WRs. Our return guy this year is likely going to be at WR (ross or tate) and I dont see LeShoure being a ST guys. He doesn't seem to offer any value to this team. At least I dont think. New staff may view him different than Schwartz and Linehan did.

Sorry TP read the post wrong. Saw your idea of 4+ Jed...

I agree with his, owens will be cut. They wont cut leshoure or riddick.

Kreton I screamed at TV that Leshoure could have leaned forward for a one yard first down many times this season. Now you put Jed in front to take away first point of attack hitter??? See him having value.

Right now I see him having value too. And we will see what that value is on draft day. Hoping for a 5th

Just wanted to remind everyone that I called Jed Collins last Friday afternoon. Then I name dropped him on the board right afterward. You're welcome Grail.

There is only room for one Swarmstradomus around here.

No, he means he actually physically called him on his cell. Collins came up and stayed in Smitty's guest box while he was in town for his visit with the Lions...

Lions are taking a WR at 10. You heard it here first.

You should delete this. I will hold you on this and CB will be off. OHHH no, could the ego handle being wrong???

Nostradomus was not sarcastic, just right.

I was wrong about Peyton Manning. Had no problem admitting it. Rocked his crappy avatar and everything.

An ego allows you to admit when you're wrong, and not worry about being wrong. No one is right 100% of the time. There are a lot of posters here who could learn a lot about confidence.

We got into a conversation about hobbies. I asked him if fumbles were in his top five. He said "NO!" So Jed's cool in my book. Nice guy, likes to block.

I hope to hell the new staff views everyone differently than Schwartz and Linehan did. And Reverend Leroy vehemently agrees with me.
