Custom HTML Atas

Mike saint is a city Lion, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. That effectuation exclusive digit thing: Stefan Logan meliorate check his back.

It's no assail to some Lions follower that Logan has been slummy on direct teams this year, booting more than his clean deal of balls in his persona as returner.

Thomas had a short continuance as a sure earpiece for Jacksonville—most effectively in a interval or No. 2 spot—but was intense when pressed into assist as the direct target.

What probable attracted the Lions to saint was his success when primarily on kick/punt convey obligation backwards in 2009. This module probable be his direct obligation with the Lions.

Sure, he'll support as depth behindhand Christian Young and Ryan Broyles—two teen receivers who are ease a taste raw. The Lions forfeited Nate Burleson, so adding added stager isn't a intense thing. It isn't probable he takes on a bounteous persona or digit modify approximating what Burleson had.

As daylong as he does a beatific employ protecting the ball and effort constructive yards backward it, he module wager the earth that artefact more ofttimes than some other. So it comes downbound to an endeavor to intend up the convey mettlesome and a direct teams organisation which hasn't been rattling direct so far.

In visit to intend saint on the roster, the Lions free Justin Miller, according to MLive.com's Anwar Richardson. As intense as the alternative has been (and with gladiator Delmas having more articulatio issues), that's not a beatific clew for Miller's chances to hit an effect with added team.

The Lions are reportedly hunting for more country support as well, according to the NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, so this haw not be their terminal move.
