DONT DO IT! DETROIT LIONS NEWS AND NOTES THAT ARE HITTING THE NEWSROOM THIS MORNING!

1. WOULD YOU MOVE ANY OF THE PLAYERS TO NEW POSITIONS?

2. Absolutely not. Versatility has its place, but for Pete’s sake, if you need a center then get a center, if you need a safety, get a safety. All this moving players around is just a way to continue to draft the BPA and cover Holmes inadequate drafting. You draft what you need, don’t move some player to a new position and create two weaknesses on the field. DO YOUR JOB HOLMES. We don’t have any money to sign anyone, who signed all these players to extensions in the first place, we had plenty of cap space then

3. Bye AA, can’t afford him plus he is a liability n coverage, although he was the best we had, so draft another LB

4. Lions defense was putrid, they could not stop anyone. Enough of the excuse about injured players, EVERYONE has injuries, SF made the playoffs and they were beat up just as bad as anyone

5. Get a new center don't repeat the front line mistakes from last year

6. Offering what we can afford, but let him walk if would rather play for someone else and puts money over helping Lions get to Super Bowl this season.

7. Rutledge has already said he prefers not to…draft a center or sign a FA, it is pretty straightforward, Holmes is scrambling, he is on his last legs, look no further than Sheila’s letter to the season ticket holders, it is unacceptable ( last season). Given the body of evidence, this regime peaked two or three years ago with a loss to SF in the NFC championship game, we have been trending downward since then. The results, 2 division titles, two 1st round exits in the playoffs, then not making the playoffs. Holmes crying poverty is a problem of his own making, figure it Holmes, it is YOUR JOB.

8. The Lions should leave their players in their positions that they are familiar with. No moving Teslaa or Ratledge. They moved Alim around and Derek Barnes which did not work. They did the same thing with secondary players which didn't work either. Pick up players rather they be FA"S or draft/trade that play their specific positions. That works out better.

9. Great points coach.

10. Coach got a T lol get em coach!

11. seattle just showed that scheme matters more on defense than star players. how many of the seattle defenders are top 5 at their position? the Seattle head coach is a defensive guru and puts his players in better positions than other coaches. shep needs to step up or move aside for someone better.

12. the oline has so little depth i don't see how they can get rid of glasgow. they will keep him as a versatile backup who can play any position on the interior in an emergency, at the very least

13. good morning Captain Dan and the dew crew all stars

14. did you hear that the tigers have re-signed Verlander to a contract tigers? Wanna win now?

15. How about this Litmus test: Manu gave up less pressures and was better vs the run against Trey Hendrickson than Will Campbell (No 5 pick) was in the Superbowl. Means nothing really, but here's to hoping he pans out. Watching the current crop of Tackles in this draft Manu is twice the athlete.

16. You need to edit out all the "good mornings". No one came here to read texts from attention seekers.
