Suh Leads James Harrison In 2011 Fine Contest

Remember when Ndamukong Suh ripped Jake Delhommes head off last year? He kind of did the same thing to Andy Dalton in the 1st pre season game of the season. The result; 20k fine. This certainly will be a fun race between Suh and James Harrison to see who racks up the most amount of fines.



Screw it, ill make odds to see who I believe ill be the favorites this year:



James Harrison LB Pittsburgh: 2-1

Ndamukong Suh DL Lions: 6-1

Dunta Robinson CB ATL: 9-1

Albert Haynesworth DL Patriots: 10-1

Brandon Merriweather S Patriots: 10-1

Hines Ward WR Steelers: 15-1

Renaldo McClain LB Oakland: 17-1

Curse Of The Lions

The Lions 2nd round pick Mikel LeShoure tore his Achilles tendon in practice and will miss his rookie season. If that wasn't bad enough defensive tackle Nick Fairley had surgery on his injured left foot and will miss most if not all of training camp. It seems like this happens to the Lions every year. LeShoure was supposed to split time this year and I think could've be a really nice fit, but it's Fairley's injury that scares me a lot more.



The Lions need Fairley 100% if they are going to become the improved defense so many scouts think they will be. With him missing training camp that could be a huge deal, especially for a rookie.



The Lions signed Mike Bell and Jerome Harrison to help fill the LeShoure void. Although I think Harrison is the better RB, Bell might be a better fit with as a between the tackles runner.



I hope the Lions are a lot better this year. They have so much talent, and Detroit deserves a good football team, but man they seemed like they are cursed.
