And I remember those O-lines the Bears had in the 80's, and they were a TON better than those craptastic Lions' O-lines. The Lions completely neglected the OL. The only first-round pick they ever used on an OL during Barry's tenure was Jeff Hartings, and they were only teammates 4 years. I think the highest pick they ever used on a tackle was 2nd-rounder Juan freekin' Roque, and he was a bust.
There was Aaron Gibson AKA the blob for 1999 only, but he was a bust too.
Mike Utley and the one that was hit and killed by a drunk driver while gardening say different. Just pisspoor luck on the Oline for the Lions.
