Megatron practiced today
 

per Adam Schefter on NFL Live.

Said he will play but his missing so many practices this week means he is hurting.

Remember Demarcus Ware in '09!

yeah, he missed even more practices last week.

did ok on sunday though.

He'll be full speed i'm sure.

A few shots and he plays, smoke and mirrors by the Lions.

He'll play, no way they don't throw him out there since its the Lions first playoff game since last century. Our corners better abuse him too so he doesn't become D Ware V 2.0

I just hope we can contain him the way we did on December 4th. Hell, if we can contain him even half as well, I will be happy.

Thats the truth. Dude is a freak.

It's a SHAM, be ready for him.

Pretty sure our defense practiced against Jimmy Graham today as well. 6'6"

Its a trap!!!

I notice that no one took offense at the thread title calling Calvin Johnson: "Megatron".

We often disparage nick-names around here.

I, for one, think that he has earned that moniker.

Helluva player, imo.

He is a beast, love to have him. It will be hard to shut him down again, just have to limit the damage.

I don't think people mind you using his nick name, it's when you use those not so funny old cute nick names for teams is when the natives get restless around here

We cant count on them self destructing like they did last time (11 penalties for them??)

Weird I'm saying this, but I think we need to run a lot this week. Detroit is more reliant on the pass than we are...

Smoke screen. He'll be just fine.

total bs. trying to dupe db's to single him or not be aggressive.

You might be on to something . . . there is a stat out there about you guys not playing as well if Brees has 40+ pass attempts and we're something like 23rd defending the run . . . that's what I'm thinking your game plan should be . . .

go Lions.
