The good folks at TheShadowLeague.com asked me a few questions about Week 4 in the NFL. Here’s what I had to say below.
1. Has Detroit turned the corner?
RICHARD BOADU: The Lions have been around the corner for a while, they just have been stalled out since they got past it in 2011. The talent has always been there. Chicago was due for a big loss too, so it was easy to see this one coming, especially against a division opponent.
BRANDON SCOTT: The Lions finally have a respectable running game with the addition of Reggie Bush. Not only does he add a new element to the offense in terms of weaponry, but the threat he presents makes the Lions passing game all the more dangerous. And if this group can keep other teams honest like that, they could be scary.
KHALID SALAAM: I’m still not 100% sold on the Lions. Detroit is one of those “Madden teams” that look great on a video game roster, but video games don’t take into account common sense. Frankly speaking, that’s been the Lions biggest issue over the last couple of seasons. They have plenty of talent, but don’t always play smart. On the bright side, it’s cool to see Reggie Bush taking it back to his USC days.
