Re: Lions Business season begins

I liked Duckett because he averaged an additional 2 yards per carry after the first 4 guys piled on. Averaging over 5 yards per carry with our line....that's Barry numbers. Ozark is right though. He's good for about 130 carries a season, double what he had last year.

Resigned Bell. 1 year $1.6M. Got insurance again.

Super Bowl here we come!

I'm ok with this move. I'd rather have TJ though.

But, IMO, it's better than overpaying Jones, Turner or Dunn for a multi year deal.

Re: Lions Business season begins

I thought T Bell didn't like backing up Jones. He's a decent back though.

I think he didn't like being the backup on a Mike Martz offense. Since the starter only gets 12-15 carries a game, the backup doesn't have a chance.

Re: Lions Business season begins

Bell had a terrible attitude that caused friction between him and KJones. But in his defense, he never ran WR routes like Martz wanted out of his RB's. Martz wanted him here, but in having to do that, he was learning on the job. I figure we will draft a RB high. Maybe of these four: Ron Rice, Mendenhall, Felix Jones or Jonathon Stewart.

I'm not interested in Dallas' J Jones. I think he's being shopped.

Wasn't Ron Rice on the Lions squad before as a safety? Did he go back to school and re-trained as a running back?
