Title: Lions In-season Report
Post by StegRock on Sep 13^th, 2006, 12:26am

Martz brings one of his boys in... From "The REAL Feed":

Lions sign free agent WR Hakim to 1-year contract (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/wires/09/12/2020.ap.fbn.lions.hakim.0110/index.html)

With his deactivation this past weekend and this signing, you have to wonder what Mike Williams's future with the Lions is. On the other hand, their offense looked pretty weak. How much worse off could they be if they gave the kid, a BIG red-zone target no less, a chance? [smiley=shrug.gif]

They come,... and they go. I just knew, all preseason hype aside, that this was coming sooner than later. From "The REAL Feed":

Lions release Bradford (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nfl/news/ABN4042347.htm)

What might this mean for Mike Williams? Might he finally see the field? [smiley=gimmeabreak.gif]

Might this be the beginning of the end of Shawn Bryson's rather disappointing career (at least, from a fantasy perspective)??? [smiley=injury.gif] From "The REAL Feed":

Lions place RB Bryson on IR; sign RB Arlen Harris (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/wires/10/17/2020.ap.fbn.lions.moves.0197/index.html)

And,... the D takes a hit, too: :-X

Official: Lions' Rogers suspended for 4 games (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/wires/10/17/2020.ap.fbn.lions.rogers.1st.ld.writethru.0326/index.html)

D-line ailing... From a LOCAL source available on "The REAL Feed (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/newsstand.htm)":

NFL ROUNDUP: Lions' line still ailing (http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061103/SPORTS01/611030395/1048/BUSINESS05)

Sounds like the makings of a BIG day rushing the ball for Vick and Dunn and whatever other running company they share...
