No, he's actually a SAM or WILL backer. He could start at SAM and that would put Lenon at MIKE so Dizon can still learn. Nece is really a good versatile LB in this system and just was not needed in TBay. We also picked up from Waivers Marcus Thomas--RB that the Chargers drafted in the 5th round and let go. Charger fans were bummed they let him go. But again, numbers game---with LT and Sproles on the roster, kid would never get a sniff. Also, Rudi Johnson is now a Lion. Cut from the Bengals a couple of days ago.
I liked Pinner and was disappointed that he was cut while Bell made the team. Now, adding RJ and Marcus Thomas and releasing Bell just a few days later is even better!
Report: Lions have been shopping WR Williams Schefter says the Lions under Matt Millen proposed a straight-up trade for DeMarcus Ware with Dallas, but were turned down (and probably laughed off). If the Lions are offered a first-round pick, they ought to pull the trigger. Using the franchise tag on their No. 2 receiver in the '09 offseason wouldn't make much sense.

I wouldn't even feel confident if they pulled the trigger on a first round draft pick. They'l probably pick Gosder Cherilus No.2. Oh, god.
