Ask John Niyo about the Lions

Just Tired

I agree on Peterson. Which combo would more likely worry a D coordinator, (Peterson and Roy Williams) or (Kevin Smith and C Johnson)??? Without a good offensive line though, it might not matter but we'd sure have a better chance with the Peterson combo. Regarding E Murray, look back at his kickoffs, not his FG's. His last year here they were so short we'd bet on the yd line - 9,11,13,15 - and the starting field position after the kicks was consistantly very bad. They needed someone new for the kickoffs and there isn't roster space for 2 kickers.
