I hope they let Delmas walk after this season and go forward making other plans at safety.

That's idiotic. You are over-reacting to his injury/injuries

Why? We need to improve safety anyways. Add in another draft pick like Lester or Jefferson and a better backup vet than Coleman and we'll be good. Then even if Delmas goes down we have 2 good safeties. I'm sure he'll be fine once his knee is 100%.

roto- Mikel Leshoure not practicing on Wednesday
Mikel Leshoure (leg) did not practice Wednesday.
In the third quarter of last week's win over the Seahawks, we spotted Leshoure limping off the field holding his calf. He never returned. Although tight-lipped coach Jim Schwartz claimed there was no injury, he was clearly hiding the truth once again. We now have to consider Leshoure questionable for Week 9, giving Joique Bell a possible feature back role against the Jaguars.

damnit...I hope he plays. He has been damn good when he's on the field.

Mikel Leshoure (personal, leg) returned to practice Thursday.
Coach Jim Schwartz really was being truthful when he said Leshoure merely took a personal day Wednesday. Mikel Leshoure Jr. weighed in at 9 lbs, 8 oz. The power back looks like a full participant in Thursday's session, a sign that his late-game leg injury from Week 8 is water under the bridge. Leshoure is now on track to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars, leaving Joique Bell in a change-of-pace role.

Congrats Mikel

I hate his injuries, but I always hold out hope that he can play. When he does our backfield is so much better.

Lions receiver Calvin Johnson has three drops, including two last Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, on 73 targeted passes.

what exactly are they classifying as drops? Guy has dropped way more than 3 passes this year...

He has 5

He has 5

I'd argue more than that, but of course I haven't written them all down. That article states 3, which is obviously wrong



edit: PFF says he has 7 drops on 48 catchable balls.
