  1. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. New Front Line for the Lions Riley Reiff, Larry Warford and a combination of Jason Fox and Corey Hilliard are the men the Lions will call upon to replace the 2012 frontline. Reiff, Warford and Fox are all original draft picks of Detroit. If the Lions didn't think they could play they wouldn't have selected them. - bleacherreport.com

  2. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. Update on Warford’s progress as new guard for Lions Warford states: “I’m still going to have challenges as far as breaking old habits. I was doing well for myself for four years and what I did worked in college. A lot of that stuff’s not going to work here, so there’s a lot of things I have to change about the way I play. That’s always going to be something I have to work on, and so far it’s going well.” - Detroit Free Press

  3. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. Who will replace Peterman as right guard? Offensive line coach, Jeremiah Washburn, states: “The competition’s been good and what’s going on right now is I think the guys competing for that position are going to make it difficult on us in a good way. And we hope it continues that way. It’s going to stay fluid for a while and hopefully these guys continue to emerge as we go through August.” - Detroit Free Press

  4. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. How is WR ChazSchilens adjusting to being a Detroit Lion? Fellow teammate, Burleson, on Schilens: “He came in right away and he caught the ball very well, and he’s almost adjusted flawlessly. When you’re tall, fast and you’re catching the ball well, in this offense, you’re going to get kept around.” - Detroit Free Press

  5. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. How important was the Lion’s first round pick ZiggyAnsah? Here’s what the experts are saying: “If the Lions can get more production out of the defensive end position in 2013, quarterbacks really won’t have anywhere to go with Suh and Fairley pushing the pocket back.” - DetroitLions.com

  6. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. Did You Know?... 66: Rushes that gained negative yards against the Detroit Lions defense last season. That was the second-highest total in the NFL with the league average being 42. -DetroitLions.com

  7. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. By the Numbers 118: The total number of catches made by Lions tight ends last year out of 435 total completions, or 26.9 percent. The 118 completions Stafford threw to tight ends wassecond most in the NFL behind Tony Romo. -DetroitLions.com

  8. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. From the sidelines Coach Jim Schwartz on new Lions Running Back, Reggie Bush “What Bush gives, is a guy who can clear the bases, who can exploit a defense that is putting extra defenders 20 yards off the line to contain Johnson.” “Reggie is a guy we need to make teams pay when they choose to play us that way.” -The Detroit News

  9. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. From the sidelines Coach Jim Schwartz on doubts about veteran tight end Tony Scheffler “Tony’s an important part of our offense. He’s a matchup problem for defenses as a tight end. And he’s a playmaker, particularly around the end zone. I think that, when our offense runs at full effectiveness, Tony’s a big part of that.” “Tony had a great off-season. I think he set himself up to have an outstanding training camp. And if he does that, then he can be in position to have a good season.” -Detroit Free Press

  10. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. From the sidelines Head coach Jim Schwartz says they will hold a higher number of padded practices Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Thursday he plans to practice in full pads rather than helmets or shells (helmets and shoulder pads) more often this year, so players can get used to the new NFL uniform rule requiring they wear knee and thigh pads. “You’ll see us more in full pads this year, there’s a physical nature to it.” -Detroit Free Press

  11. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. From the sidelines Lions are 3 days into training camp and Calvin Johnson is in mid-season form Typical Johnson. He's never satisfied with just being the best receiver on the planet ... even coming off a monster 2012 season that saw him break Jerry Rice's single-season record for receiving yards with 1,964. It's only three days into training camp and already Johnson is diving for footballs, going up in crowds to catch balls and regularly amazing both the fans and his teammates. "I didn't really understand what a freak of nature he is until I got here and saw some of the stuff he does," said running back Reggie Bush of Johnson. - DetroitLions.com

  12. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. By the Numbers After throwing for more than 10,000 yards and 60 touchdowns over the past two seasons, Stafford is 2,903yards & 38 touchdowns Shy of Bobby Layne’s franchise marks Although Stafford is more concerned with the team’s win-loss record: "To tell you the truth, right now I'm just trying to get this team where we need to be before day one," Stafford said. "Those numbers come with wins, that's what I'm looking for." -Mlive.com

  13. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. From the sidelines Is Megatron already better than last year? Cornerback Chris Houston said: "He focuses on things he might not have done so well last year, like with his body language," Houston explained. "One thing I see when he comes to the line, he's getting lower and not so high when he gets tired. Now he's trying to stay low in everything he does, so it makes it harder to read his breaks and everything." - MLive.com

  14. 2013 - 2014 Anticipation runs high….. Camp is in session and the projections are in. Who will start at defense? Here’s what the experts are saying: DL: Jason Jones, NdamukongSuh, Nick Fairley, ZiggyAnsah LB: Ashlee Palmer, Stephen Tulloch, DeAndreLevy CB: Chris Houston, Darius Slay S: Glover Quin, Louis Delmas - DetroitFreePress.com
