For the last decade, the Detroit Lions have been historically unsuccessful during the fall and winter months. That includes an NFL-record 30 losses over the last two seasons. The Lions, however, once again think they are having a great spring. "This week has been quite a challenge, because of all of the new free agency rules and all the moves we feel we need to make," said Lions coach Jim...

Lions Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Friday, 19 March 2010

The Colts do it with Peyton Manning. The Saints do it with Drew Brews. And the Lions already are doing it with their franchise quarterback, even though he just turned 22 and has only 10 NFL games under his belt.

The Lions' coaches and executives are asking for Matthew Stafford's input and keeping him in the loop on personnel matters. They even had him help recruit free agent wide receiver Nate Burleson.

"It's awesome to know that they trust me," Stafford said. "Obviously I'm not making draft picks. I wouldn't want to. It's a tough job. But just seeing if I'm familiar with a guy and maybe his past and understand how he could work in our offense or how he might not, that kind of thing.

Perhaps we should have known the Lions would sign wide receiver Nate Burleson as a free agent.

Late last season, offensive coordinator Scott Linehan was asked if he was surprised how defenses paid so much attention to wide receiver Calvin Johnson.

"No, I've seen Randy get it," said Linehan, who once was Randy Moss' offensive coordinator in Minnesota. "I'm sure when they do their PowerPoint presentation getting ready for the game, they're adding not just one but maybe two people extra—three total people—to defend him."

Linehan said the Lions needed "some kind of eraser" to wipe out that game plan.

"Something has to give there because you can't keep trying to get a guy the football that's being triple-covered and not feel good about some of the...

It will take time to determine if the Detroit Lions started the offseason by making all the right moves. Without a doubt, though, the Lions got who they wanted. On Saturday, Detroit signed the players it coveted most in free agency -- defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and receiver Nate Burleson -- a day after acquiring defensive Corey Williams in a trade with the Cleveland Browns.

Every NFL quarterback would like more options on offense, more game-breakers. Matthew Stafford is doing something about it. Even though Stafford has only played part of one season, he is already consulting with general manager Martin Mayhew and the rest of Detroit's front office about player moves.
