Lions use two former Saints as their main RBs
 

Bush and Bell ...

Lions intend to split the running back role between Bush and Bell | ProFootballTalk

Ya'll know I was glad to get Bell off the practice squad and I was even glad to get Bush, but more for what he did in Miami ... first running back tandem to record 500yds rushing/500yds passing each in the same season ... quite a statement, :) ... here's a few thoughts that have been running through my mind with the apparent "New Orleans-nization" of the Lions roster:

~ "If you can't beat 'em, hire away their coaches (Lombardi) and sign their running backs (Bell, Bush, Collins) ... "

~ "We're coming to getcha', ;) ... " ... in a friendly, sportsman-like, passive-aggressive sort of way, :D

Now if we could only work out a deal for that Graham fellow, :twisted: ...

Detroit will be a more dangerous team this year.

Good for Detroit. And Bell and Bush.

I'm pretty confident they'll be able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory regardless, as seems to be par-for-the-course with the Lions, :lol: ... perennial also-rans and underdogs, they're always just good enough to make an opponent worry about losing the game, but they never finish, :( ... always fun to watch though, :).
