 I feel something and express it! That Army Safety from last years draft is a very close friend of my daughter. (Caleb Campbell) He is from here. My daughter was in her little brothers class. He was the one legged dude who cleaned up at the para-olympics this year. (Jeremy Campbell) I wish the Army wouldn't have screwed him over (Caleb). He recovered well though and is now part of an American Bobsled team!!! I just wanted you to know about two kids from here i was very proud of, and that one of them had Lion connections. | |

He seemed impressive and I was looking forward to seeing what he could do in training camp. Would appreciate it if you could update us on how he is doing. | |

| Detroit Lions' last all-pro quarterback wished team would have drafted defense Posted by Justin Rogers | MLive.com May 10, 2009 00:41AM Thought I'd throw this one out there before calling it a night. Greg Landry, former Detroit Lions quarterback, and the team's last all-pro at the position, had a pretty interesting comment this week about the Lions' draft. May 9, Holland Sentinel Several Lions fans booed over the selection of Stafford and not of Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry, considered by many as the best player in the 2009 draft. "I was hoping the Lions would have taken a defensive player with their first two picks," Landry said. "I really believe they need more help defensively than offensively."You and just about everyone else Greg. Of course, it's not difficult to see what the Lions are attempting to establish by drafting a player like Pettigrew, and there were several offseason moves made to address the defense, including the recent acquisition of Larry Foote. Only time will tell if the Lions made the right draft-day decisions. As it currently stands, Landry isn't setting the bar very high for his former team. Was that the same day the team signed Foote? Wonder if his opinion changed at all knowing the team had signed a MLB to clear the #1 pick for our next All Pro QB. |

The reason we released Jason Hunter was b/c he became expendable with our transition to a 3-4 as he would have had to make a transition to an OLB (from DE) and he just didn't have the build for it. It seemed completely unlikely that he would fare well and we needed roster room for some potential players after their successful rookie camps. Detroit employs a 4-3, as you know, so Hunter should be a better fit there. He was great on our special teams a few years ago, but simply got overshadowed and the subsequently phased out. That was why he was released, unfortunately, I mean...the kid does not suck ass by any means. You can see that by the fact that we tried to keep him and make him useful in our new scheme. Just didn't work out. By the way, sorry I didn't respond to this earlier. I don't usually tread around in threads with "Detroit", "Chicago", or "Minnesota" in the title. | |

If he could rebound from last year and return to the special team specialist it might be a different story. No apologies - just figured you were the resident expert on the Packers and was hoping you would eventually stumble into the thread. I originally avoided the Favre thread for the same reason but it is like rubbernecking as you go past an auto accident - you just gotta look. | |

Where was there even a LITTLE hint of Hunter S. in there? I would surely like to know. | |
