I said last year that the Lions had at least 20 players that would not, and should not, be in the NFL, if it weren't for the Lions. Rudi Johnson was one of them. Take that to the bank.

...now if we could ONLY sign Roy Williams, the safety, to make up for that loss....
true
Bengals sign QB O'Sullivan as backup for Palmer - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Ramy, Brainfry- meet your new punching bag!

Where's Brainfry been?
I think he's still posting on The506.
Bill, I believe you were on there for a brief period of time.

You really want Williams ?
Are you sure that you yourself couldn't cover better ?
Jimbo
He may have lost a step in covering the deep ball, but Williams is still a beast in his run stopping abilities. He's a great open field tackler, just as long as the guy he's chasing isn't behind him already.
I think Dallas used him different than the Raiders would...AND we have THE BEST cover corner in one side and a few good ones on another.
It'll be interesting to see if the Raiders D suffers without the "Tub-O Goo" this year....
I can't wait to see what he has in store for my Browns.

Patriots agree to terms with CB Leigh Bodden.

Bill, he was a very formidable CB when he was with the Browns prior to the '08 season. Last year, he was traded to the Lions for Shaun Rodgers and wasn't anything special in Detroit, but I don't think that was an accurate assessment of his abilities. Bill Belicheck must know something. At 27, I think he still has plenty left in the tank. Congrats on a great signing.

Wow, thanks.
They added Shawn Springs also earlier in the week. They REALLY needed to address the secondary, and it looks like they've taken a couple of huge steps to that goal.
IF they do, it won't be because of him. He had talent, and he could coach a mean game about 3 1/2 quarters...then crunch time came around and he would make some HUGE judgement calls that would kill them in the end. There is NO DOUBT that the strongest point of the Raiders team WAS the defense. But with a right decision here and there (Bills game, Dolphins game, KC game come to mind)...the Raiders could have easily been 8-8.
...but as I always say, ..."shoulda, coulda, woulda...and if my aunt had...."
Ah hell, you guys know the rest.....

I wonder if he was overruled by the HC when it came to the close games you note at the end of the 4th? If not, hopefully he's learned his lesson.
Rob Ryan does come from a very astute Defensive minded football family. The genes are there.
His dad was the legendary D-Coordinator, Buddy Ryan and coached on 3 different Super Bowl teams. His brother is Rex Ryan who was the Ravens D-Coordinator from 1999 until he was recently signed by the Jets.
