For a couple of 2nds they would be in the market for someone a hell of a lot better than Hightower.

And that doesn't change the fact we're not deep enough at RB to trade one away.

Think they'll make a play for MJD?

If Royster, Helu, and Morris can all be healthy, I think we're loaded at RB. Or is that too big an "if"? Among other things?

Give me a healthy TH n Morris and I would be happy. Helu can be a change of pace speed guy.

The coaches have been loving royster in training camp though, it will be interesting to see who makes it to the 53 man roster.

Vinny, is that you?

Hightower looked pretty quick to me while he was in the game. Would shock me if the Skins cut or traded him. Now, if only they would "cut" these hideous mustard color pants and never bring them back.....

You bite your tongue. Those pants are a national treasure.

Gold or Burgandy... NOT yellow.

The jersey and helmet isn't gold either. I'd rather they at least match than have yellow stripes on the helmet and jersey and gold pants.

Yeah... that's true. Guess I just really like the burgundy jersey with white pants.. or the reverse. The yellow pants to me make the uniform look like some division 3 college team instead of the NFL.

It's called Athletic Gold.

Stop being Zorny.

I think we would be lucky to get a fourth for hightower. Not that i thinks this trade is going to happen.

The Lions have no backs Punch, I mean no backs. Kevin Smith isn't starting caliber, and hasn't been for awhile now. Best is a bust. The HT trade would be a gamble with Roy being hurt and maybe IR bound, but I think we could get at least a couple mid rounders for him, maybe at least one second rounder. Lions are not going to get to the promised land if opposing defenses can just concentrate on stopping the passing game.

Best isnt a bust, he just has serious concussion issues. When hes out there hes pretty explosive, especially in the passing game.

Although I do think the Lions need another back because of their current state, Kevin Smith hurt, Javid Best may be done for his career, LeShore is still injured as always and faces suspension when he comes back. Don't forget about 'ol Redskins Keiland Williams who is doing well there.

That being said, The Lions had the #1 passing offense in the league last year (number of attempts). Stafford threw for over 5000 yards. They have Megatron. They can throw it every since down without a back and defenses will not be able to shut them down easily. I guarantee you they will throw it 40-45 times a game if they have to no problem.
