[Grammer]

damn, if fairley doesnt suck that will be a great d-line

[ZedLeppelin]

Cutler will file his retirement papers tomorrow and run off to LA with Cavallari. Can't blame him though I probably would too haha

Funny, this is like the third thread on the Lions DTs, and people said that only QBs brought excitment. These are the Lions folks.

Wow, just wow! Those two alone can tie up 4 lineman on a good day! U can't run up the middle or the edges cause Lions DE's will be unoccupied! Your TE will always have to block! Wow! I may be wrong, but just wow!

Please do not let Newton go to Detroit this year!

I don't think Suh will allow Fairley to suck! This guy will push Fairley to no end!

I keep telling people that the Lions are playoff bound in 2 seasons.

Playoffs? Hell, they are liable to go to the Super Bowl in two years! They are def gonna win in the trenches on the defensive side of the ball!

Am I the only one who didn't like this pick?

Yes, their pass rush should be out of this world. But, I think teams will be able to run the ball down their throat.

You take the 24th ranked rush D and give up 35lbs in the middle of your line? If Suh and Fairley are starting, they have no run stopper.

Stopping the run won't be a problem.... it's not like those guys suck and stopping the run.... and them being side by side is going to keep those linebackers Clean!!!

ALLEN PARK -- The defensive line was arguably the deepest and most productive position for the Detroit Lions last season so it stands to reason that it's a group that won't get much attention in this year's draft.

The Lions were sixth in the NFL in sacks last season with 44 and they're returning all of their starters, including two young guys -- Ndamukong Suh and Cliff Avril -- who combined for 18.5 sacks and they should be even better this season.

"We really have improved our football team by improving our defensive line, but we can still add to that group, I think," Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said.

Both the Bears and Lions run a 4-3 defense and, like both teams, the only way to have an effective defense is for the front four to get consistent pass pressure. While the Lions also will look at an offensive tackle like USC's Tyron Smith or a cornerback like Nebraska's Prince Amukamara, there are several defensive end candidates who might be too good to pass up.

Cliff Avril, who is rapidly becoming a pass-rushing force in the league, is only 260 pounds and Kyle Vanden Bosch is 275 pounds.

The Lions can use smaller ends because of the way they play their defense. They line up their ends split wide with a couple of yards between them and the tackles. At the snap, the ends can build a couple of steps of speed and momentum before they engage the tackle.

Vanden Bosch, Suh, Fairley, and Avril..... Nice.... damn nice.... with good rotational and situational pieces.

He gon cry in the car.

[Mr. Scot]

When I saw where Fairley went, I said "yikes" :eek:

Runningbacks in that division are probably frowning (QBs too).

Worth remembering that Fairley has a rep for dirty play, but he's not entirely alone. Suh has had a questionable incident or two in his young career, including one with Jake Delhomme.

Lion games just got a lot more interesting.

I'm really, really scared of our team facing them week 11.
