The Smoke screen could be related to contract talks. Maybe The Lions are REALLY planning on taking Stafford and by throwing the news that Culpepper will be the starter and they want to fix the O and D lines before anything maybe they are trying to see if Stafford bites and takes a smaller contract, because if he doesn't get picked first he would drop a few spots and not get paid 1st pick overall money anyways.

IF NOT,

The Lions should actually take to ALL FOUR of the top LT's agents (Smith,Smith,Oher, and Monroe) and start a bidding war. Who ever agrees to the lowest contract is who the Lions draft #1 hehe. Would be really smart IMO and honestly its a toss up between all 4 LT's who is the best.

stafford would love to not be drafted by such a worthless franchise...they have no leverage at all with him, and he sure as hell isn't going to take less for the "honor" of playing for the Ford family...

This is why the Lions should draft Stafford (I'm serious)

if you're a QB would you rather play for the Ford family and a defensive coach....or the Hunts, Pioli, and a HC who was just the OC in a superbowl and loves an aggressive passing offense?

I don't think half the prospects know a damn thing about most of the owners and coaches.

So Banks is claiming to have had that conversation with Schwartz? It is word for word what Schwartz said in the interview with Adam Schefter on the NFLN coverage. Either Banks is FOS or Schwartz has a script he's working off of.

• Quote of the day: From Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano, when asked if he was surprised at the widespread use of the Dolphins' Wildcat formation last season:

"I was pretty surprised, to be honest with you. At the end of this, I wish I had a dollar for every person who ran it.''
The Chiefs ran it before the Dolphins did. The Dolphins were just better at it than the Chiefs were.

He doesn't claim to have a conversation with him in a one-on-one. He says: "After careful analysis of every syllable uttered to the media by new Lions head coach Jim Schwartz on Thursday morning"

Everybody but the Lions were better at nearly everything than the Chiefs were in 2008.

:D

At no point did the Lions rookie head coach say quarterback was not an option at the top of the draft, but he really didn't have to if you listened to what he was saying. Like when I asked him about the conventional wisdom within the league about building a team from the inside out, which I happen to know he buys into.

"I've said before, we're going to build the team like it's an outdoor team,'' Schwartz said. "We're not going to build it to be a dome team. This is a great dome, and Ford Field is a great dome. But the fact is that we have to go to Lambeau, probably in December. We'll have to go to Chicago, maybe for a game that might mean the playoffs. You need to be big and physical, run the ball and stop the run when the weather gets bad. When you look at Tennessee and other places I've been, if you're strong on the offensive and defensive line, you'll be consistent from week to week.

"That doesn't leave you. You can have a dominant skill player, but he might get hurt one week or the wind might be blowing, like it was in Buffalo when New England played up there, and you can't throw the ball. Or the footing might be bad and the running back can't make his yards. But offensive line and defensive line will make you consistent from week to week.''

I wouldn't discount that script idea, either, or at least canned answers to the same questions.

Like I said - Exact same answers, then, as to the Schefter interview on NFLN.

It's no big deal. It just caught my eye.

Crabtree is not an Al Davis WR. That would be Jeremy Maclin.

You might say Nnamdi Asomugha is not an Al Davis cornerback due to his lack of top end speed.

Just saying that Al Davis isn't just about fast guys. I see very little reason to believe Crabtree wouldn't be a good fit with the Raiders.
