Almost Draft Time - Start Baking That Cornbread


It's that time of the year again and we're within 100 days of the NFL draft. I basically have to destroy a 6-pack of Budweiser Silos everyday after work just so I can get a few minutes of shuteye. I'm as gitty as they come these days and with the possibility of Suh being available when the Lions get on the clock at #2 I really think the Lions have a shot at nailing this. With the run stopping ability of Suh in the middle and the addition of a downhill pass rushing threat off the end, ala Brandon Graham at #34, I think our defense begins to resemble something not sliding out of my ass after dinner at No Thai. And that brightens my day because if theres anything ive learned from this year, besides don't fucking bet on the ponies once your trashed, is that D wins games.

Just look at the fuckin Jets. Their gameplan was to draft a QB with an arm worse than my paperboy and just let Dirty Sanchez hand the ball off a million times a game. And it works because their defense is untouchable. Revis is fuckin awesome, they got a great value pick with Harris in the second round, four picks after we moved up to draft home state hero Drew Stanton and they got a coach that has an "Us Against the World" attitude. Shit is perfect and inflicts fear in anyone they play. You cant tell me Payton Manning is excited about playing that Jets D. They blitz constantly, their opponents know they are gonna blitz, and the shit still works. I mean the lions D couldn't get to a quarterback if they were playing against an 8 man Wyoming football team.

We still carry the stank of Marinelli's D with us onto the field each sunday and I need a change. Gunther knows what I'm talking about, he just needs some players to make it happen. I want to go out and make things happen, even if there are mistakes, at least we aren't just sitting back and getting picked apart. That shit doesn't work, we've seen it for the past 9 years and its gross. Get after someone, make them react instead of just letting them inflicting their will on you. And Suh is that type of player. Fuckin King Kong in the middle is guaranteed to help us win games. We just need the media to fall in love with one of these QBs and sell him to the Rams as the next coming of Matt Stafford, oh wait only the Lions fall for dumb shit like that. Christ
