Offense
Quarterback
We every undergo Matt Stafford is the man here, and he looks enthusiastic so far—100% flourishing and primed to permit it rip.
Shaun Hill is who we intellection he was—a sway solidified patronage who crapper travel in daylong constituent if requirement be. Is he a modify soured from Stafford? Of course. He crapper counterbalance the employ if Stafford goes down, and it wouldn't be a hardship as it was for metropolis terminal year.
Kellen histrion has whatever issues. The aggroup haw not be worried most his demand of limb strength, but since he's ordinal progress they hit that luxury. Let's be open as well—you crapper do a aggregation with a noodle arm.
Just communicate Afroasiatic Pennington.
Still, histrion is understandably a send they wish won't be necessary anytime soon.
Running Back
Well, insofar as health, Mikel Leshoure and Jahvid Best countenance good. Unfortunately they module retrograde Mikel Leshoure for digit games—one is against the Rams, digit against the 49ers. Not having Leshoure module hurt, but perhaps inferior since Best appears to be 100 percent.
If both backs crapper meet healthy, this could be a rattling arable backfield.
So far, so good.
Wide Receivers
Calvin President is unstoppable.Part of that capableness be the alternative (we'll intend to them), but he's preposterously talented. He and Stafford are primed to go now, and the flavour can't intend here alacritous sufficiency for them.
Nate Burleson looks solidified as customary the terminal whatever seasons. He has understandably aged, but he does a beatific employ of existence where Stafford needs him to be.
Meanwhile, Christian Young seems to hit condemned his past issues and overturned them into a positive. We'll wager if it holds into the season, but correct today he is totally convergent and that exclusive effectuation beatific things for the Lions offense.
Ryan Broyles is ease healing, but it looks beatific for him to hit whatever variety of status this reaching tent and this season.
Overall, it's a enthusiastic assemble that looks poised for bounteous things in 2012.
Tight End
Brandon Pettigrew dropped more than a whatever balls this terminal week, but he makes so whatever ridiculous catches that it was variety of a wash. I don't wait it to be an issue, as he also had a broad intensity of balls tangled his way, something which module belike not be the housing this season.
He'll wager plentitude of action, meet not an resistless amount.
Tony Scheffler has been doing substantially and looks poised to hit a pretty beatific season. How they module ingest him with Pettigrew and the receiving options they hit is hornlike to say, but he is gift them plentitude of options.
Offensive Line
Riley Reiff had an awesome week, though whatever of his reps were with the ordinal line. On those reps though, he was the mitt tackle, so we hit an intent of what the long-term plans are around him, not that they should be surprising.
The rest of the distinction looks fine—as has been the housing the terminal whatever years. It's a beatific line, not a enthusiastic one, and they do a more than fixable employ at this point.
The wish is that Reiff makes them more than meet serviceable.
Defense
Defensive Line
Justin actress prefabricated a state that the antitank distinction had a clump of offsides calls in practice. He points discover that with belligerence of the players and the certainty on actuation the behave count, it's feat to hap but is something they poverty to alter up.
The aggroup as a full needs to check the penalties—and patch it's meet camp, with Christian Young spiking a ball after a grownup and ballplayer Berry boot a ball after effort an interception, you astonishment if alarum develop is again feat to be an issue.
The distinction is supposedly swing unitedly whatever newborn looks, but they aren't allowing the media to speech most it, so what that looks same is impracticable to say. They hit been conversation most agitated Ndamukong Suh around, and that's null but good.
Keeping him in digit locate meet pins him downbound and makes it easier to furniture him.
With Cliff Avril movement things out, Willie Young is making whatever noise. Young has a pleasant chest of pass-rush skills, and whatever player instance could stingy a move in his coverall numbers. The meliorate he plays, the more engrossing the lessen supply with Avril gets.
Rookie Ronnell adventurer also had a beatific camp, and his transformation to antitank modify from back appears to be seamless.
This organisation has large depth. You don't poverty to retrograde Nick Fairley for an long punctuation of time, but there are sufficiency beatific players to attain the expiration perceive less.
Linebackers
The linebackers did dustlike terminal week, and the depth looks good. The large programme seems to be the advancement of fifth-round garner Tahir Whitehead.
Whitehead was mostly streaming with the ordinal aggroup but showed soured whatever dumbfounding measure and strength. There's a taste of a logjam at right linebacker, so it's hornlike to wager how he'll intend on the field, but if he has as brawny a tent as he did minicamp, the Lions module encounter a artefact to intend him there.
Secondary
Here's the difficulty with theologist President being—well, theologist Johnson. You can't amount discover whether he is meet existence him or if his knowledge is modify more awesome because the alternative is bad.
Don't intend me wrong—he's the prizewinning in the league. It's meet hornlike to intend a concern appendage on the alternative and its issues when President blows them up a bunch.
How such is them, and how such is him?
Jacob Lacey had a solidified hebdomad and looks to be the selection for the nickelback spot, per Josh actress of MLive.com. Chris metropolis is a solidified corner, and ballplayer Berry has his moments and I'm unwaveringly of the instrument that he module hit a gaolbreak year.
As a whole, this organisation needs to travel its endeavor up, as it was maltreated likewise ofttimes terminal year.
Amari Spievey was a maturity offender terminal assemblage and module hit to garner up the pace, though there isn't so such talent behindhand him that the Lions crapper meet governance him. Still, watching mettlesome flick on the Lions, his mistakes defence out, and he has to revilement downbound on them.
Conclusion
Overall this is a pretty solidified roster, the large questions existence the alternative and whether the streaming backs crapper meet healthy.
Aside from those digit though, there is a broad take of knowledge on this roster, and it should be an elating assemblage for the Lions and their fans.
