LIONS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Reggie Bush: I Came To Detroit To Win Championships
The Detroit Lions haven’t always been the necessary landing spot for top free agents in years past. The Lions seem to be a player or two away now from establishing some sort of post season tradition, and running back Reggie Bush might be the guy to help get them over the hump.
Bush was with his new team for the start of their OTAs, and let it be known that he’s about his business...
Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz plans to use Reggie Bush as a runner, receiver and return specialist
Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has wisely been letting the electric Reggie Bush return punts in organized team activities. Signing a four-year contract with Detroit in March worth roughly $20 million, Schwartz also plans to frequently target the 28-year-old Bush as a receiver and use the former Trojan as a full-time, three-down back. Splitting carries with youngster Lamar...
Matthew Stafford: The Lions are My Team
The key for the Lions this year is really simple in my humble opinion. The team won 10 games and made the playoffs for the first time in 12 years in the 2011 season following 40 Touchdowns and 16 INTs from quarterback Matthew Stafford. But then fell to just 4 win in 2012 after Stafford only managed to throw 20 Touchdowns and 17 INTs. Coincidence? I think not.
The success of...
Mikel Leshoure, Louis Delmas didn’t participate in OTA’s
According to the Detroit News, Lions safety Louis Delmas didn’t attend this week’s organized team activities as he continues to work on strengthening his knees.
“We’re in communication with Lou,” coach Jim Schwartz said. “He’s not here right now but there’s nothing he can get out of this because he can’t physically do the stuff we’re doing.”
Running back Mikel...

Nate Burleson: A Lion in the Rough
You may not immediately think of the name Nate Burleson when
you think of the Detroit Lions. However, for the past three years he has been an
underrated commodity and a great leader for the team. He has flown under the
radar for the majority of his ten year career, but has managed to rack up over
5000 receiving yards and 38 touchdowns. He turns 32 in August, but the seasoned
veteran...

Detroit Lions battle shaping up at OLB?
After the Detroit Lions set up Stephen Tulloch, DeAndre Levy and Justin Durant as their starting linebackers two seasons ago, I (and a lot of other observers) never thought that the positions would be a question mark so soon. The Lions failed to re-sign Durant this off season and while middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch is playing under a long-term deal and DeAndre Levy has a new...
Free agent safety Charles Woodson ‘open’ to playing for Lions
Free agents safety Charles Woodson is ‘open’ to the possibility to playing in Detroit and the team could have a very good tandem along with Louis Delmas.
However, as Woodson tours teams, the one who stops posturing will win his services.
Oakland and Denver have offers on the table, the New York Giants have interest, Woodson has a market that’s growing, but there is still...
Lions trust in Matthew Stafford at an all-time high?
Just the other day, Lions reporter Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press was reporting that backup QB Shaun Hill has been walking around with a boot on his left foot. The reason for the boot according to Birkett was due to Hill undergoing minor surgery to repair a minor but nagging injury.
Just talked to #Lions backup QB Shaun Hill. Has a boot on his left foot. Said he underwent...

Bush: Stafford can be a Hall of Famer
Reggie Bush joined the Lions this offseason, and he is already complimentary of his new quarterback, Matthew Stafford.
Detroit Lions’ Schwartz, Mayhew still looking for the pony
Detroit Lions DE Ronnell Lewis tweeted an apology to fans for his part in an incident in Norman, OK last month. Lewis used Twitter to apologize to “everyone” and by that I presume he means fans, coaches, management and his teammates. He claims to have learned from his adventure and seems to commit to the idea that it won’t happen again. Good enough.
With his Tweets,...
