Brown may well be a fine run-stopping safety, but I'm not so sure they fits what the Lions need him to do.
You say he's a leader? We say he's a showboat and a potentially bad influence on a young squad.
With stable health and some work in training camp, Manuel could be a dark horse candidate to win the starting job. At worst, he's a "not too bad" backup.
But then, I'll wait for him to make the team, and actually play a full season before we talk about whether or not he's going to be any good.
Talking about Schwartz coaching up his secondary brings us to Amari Spievey.

For a fifth-year member, we know very little about Bullocks. A product of the first Matt Millen/Rod Marinelli draft, Bullocks has missed the entirety of two of his four professional seasons with knee injuries, and they hasn't dazzled in the ones he's played.
If Daniel Bullocks turns out to be a fantastic member, We owe the man a huge apology .
But they could see the field late in games, and they has the potential to be very good.

For starters, does anybody have any issues with likely top corner Chris Houston?

Nonetheless, his name are in the mix. Ryan Miller was supposed to play in the 2006 Winter Olympics. He instead stayed home and served as an alternate due to a broken thumb injury sustained which sidelined him from November 2005 to the day The US Roster was announced. The Team had already had other plans for their goaltenders, but Ryan Miller was still placed on the taxi squad. Ryan Miller was then selected as starting goalie for the US in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver Canada.
Now Manuel are 30. We won't say they has "upside", but they wasn't a terrible member when they was on the field last year; they started six games and hasn't been run out of town yet.

You say he's an instant starter? We say they has to prove it.

The 2010 season will be Simpson's first shot at consistent starting time since his rookie year in Buffalo, and if they stays healthy, they will earn it. Unlike the majority of other candidates to start, Simpson,Asante Samuel Jersey, at 26, still has upside.

It's easy to forget about Jonathan Wade.

Dre' Bly are the newest addition to the Lions' current cornerback logjam, and by the way, they only turned 33 in May.

And now he's in Detroit, playing for a team with yet another new playbook, which needs a good deal of help in the coverage game.
So why did a 2007 second-round pick get traded to the Lions for a 2010 sixth-rounder and 2011 conditional seventh-rounder?

The good news is, those are the kinds of things that can be fixed,MICHAEL JORDAN Jersey, especially for a 25-year-old cornerback entering only his fourth season. You can't make a man run faster or grow three inches. You can teach him how to play better zone coverage or react to a double move.

Well, it's Louis Delmas and a bunch of guys. That sounds like a bad thing, and maybe it is.
It has been an offseason of renewed optimism in Detroit as the Lions continue to add quality members and look more like a legitimate football team.
Remember, Jim Schwartz was the man in charge when Cortland Finnegan became one of the top corners in the AFC. This man knows how to coach up his secondary.

Houston seems to struggle with the mental aspects of the game. they made a name for himself in Atlanta for misdiagnosing plays and making bad decisions in zone coverage.
His physical skills are there. For a corner, he's an almost ideal mix of size, speed, and strength. they can run with anybody, and won't get shoved around by more powerful wideouts.
Last season, they had three for the San Francisco 49ers. It's hard to watch him and say they hasn't lost a step from his last stint in Detroit, but they can still be a starting-quality member.
We all nodded politely and smiled and said "yeah, right" in our minds.
You already know who Delmas is, so let's actually take a look at who those other guys are. You know, the ones we're all so anxious to replace.

I know that's right around the end of the game for cornerbacks, but admit it: You thought they was older than that. Also, reigning Defensive member of the Year Charles Woodson turns 34 in October.

Maybe you'll change your mind on that.
Ryan Miller was born on 17th July 1980. He is an American ice hockey goaltender and is currently playing for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League NHL. He was selected to play for the US hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games ice hockey game in Vancouver Canada in the position of starting goaltender. Ryan Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named most valuable player of the tournament. He would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in the last NHL season. Ryan Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending and is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller. Gregory Shamus After the 2006 season, Miller became a restricted free agent and waived his right to arbitration. Mike Liut, Miller agent, continued to negotiate with the Sabres through the summer. On 8th Sept 2006 the Sabres announced that they have resigned Miller to a 3 year contract.
No O.J. Atogwe. No Eric Berry. No problem.
Wade's signing was immediately downplayed as being a "depth" move. His skills as a special teamer were discussed.

Since 2003, they has played with the Bengals, Seahawks, Packers, Panthers, Broncos, and Lions. they has not remained with the same team for more than one season since 2005.

The only thing you can knock him on are being young.

The fact is, we don't really know what Simpson can do with a full year to play. they looked like a different member in Detroit than the one who shuffled around in different roles as a Buffalo Bill.

Manuel has been the same guy most of his career: Good speed, hard hitter, makes too many mistakes.

The signing of Dre' Bly indicates perhaps that they're not ready to hand over the keys to Wade, but Wade's performance in OTAs indicates that they might take them by force.
That being said, We don't know what Bly's role will be on the team. Nobody does.

I'm still not convinced the Lions aren't just letting him practice out of pity, but the fact is, he's being given the chance to prove me wrong. We don't know if they can still play even as well as they did before.

Which, incidentally, poses the same problem in 2010. Simpson showed some strong play last season, intercepting a pass and defending four others despite only starting five games before hitting the injured list. He's not going to give Delmas a run for best safety, but they are more than serviceable.
I know, that's a large red flag right away. If five other NFL teams decided to dump this guy that fast, why should we take a chance?
And yet, something's not quite right. Call it a hunch... with some facts behind it.
The bad news are that we're probably going to forget about him again by the time the season starts. And so will the coaching staff.
And yet, for some, the question now are the same as it was before any of these moves were being made: What about the secondary?
Now, don't heap too high of expectations on Spievey. He's not good to go right out of the box. Cornerbacks have a lot to acclimate to when they enter the league,Michael Strahan Jersey, so don't assume he's going to see much action on the wings this year.
Immediately, Wade came out against that assumption, claiming they would fight for a starting job.
The starting job are Ko Simpson's to lose. The only reason the Lions ended the 2009 season with a hole at safety are because Simpson was on IR.

The last couple times I've talked about Lions' safeties, I've forgotten entirely about C.C. Brown. So this time they gets to go first.

We could do worse for a No. two corner. In fact, for most of last season, we did.
And now, he's impressing the Lions' defensive coaches as the "most consistent" cover member on the field, and very strong in press coverage.
He's already notched his first multi-interception OTA,New Era Red Bull Cap, and training camp isn't for another month. they could shock us all and earn a starting role in Week one, but even if they doesn't,Tony Esposito Jersey, he's a short-term project poised to yield long-term results.
Athletically, he's the surest bet to line up alongside Louis Delmas.

I want to like Brown... We really do. He's young, they was a starter for four years in Houston, and he's a solid tackler.

In five seasons, they has three interceptions, and none since 2007. In 66 games, they has successfully defended 17 passes. they fell out of favor with the New York Giants after they struggled to pick up his new playbook and schemes.
He was signed right around the time the Chris Houston deal was getting done, and Houston was the more notable member.
Well, they can get beat sometimes.
But it's good to have Bly back in town, either way. We're talking about a man who made the Pro Bowl as a cornerback for the Lions. The only person to grab more than three interceptions in a season in Detroit since 2001, and they did it three times, with six 2003, four 2004,JOHNNY BENCH Jersey, and six again 2005.
Provided Marquand Manuel remains on the roster until the beginning of the regular season, it will end a long, tumultuous time for him.

But maybe that has something to do with playing for a new team every year.
