Chris Houston traded to Lions

I didn't know there were so many frikkin Falcons fans on VSN.

I'll give Detroit credit for trying, but it seems like they're just trying to get better by sheer volume of moves instead of focusing on getting quality players.

what are you talking about? Every player the Lions have signed or traded for have proven to be solid except for Houston.

I agree, I think we have brought in some quality players, with Houston in question. It is nice to see us making moves in large quantity, but I think the quality is there as well.

Vanden Bosch is solid, I wanted the Falcs to get him. But he's still on the wrong side of 30.

Thomas Jones, solid, but sure to decline as he again, is on the wrong side of 30 and won't have the awesome OL he had with the Jets.

Good moves, I give Detroit credit for being active like I said. But let's not pretend like they're just stockpiling talent. They've made a lot of moves, and surely any addition they make is an improvement. But every single player they've added is either on the downside of his career (KVB, TJ), or is not an impact guy (Houston).

houston will start there is no doubt about that short of an injury. 99% of the people who follow football couldnt name the next two lions corners, i cant and have seen their names a few times over the last week. It's being sold here as houston is young (25) and is a "press" corner and not a zone guy. This was a move made so they dont have to take a corner but they probably will if their is potential when they hit the clock int he 2nd round. They dont even need to take a DL with thier first pick but i think they are going to anyways as most believe the best player available to them will be a d linemen when they pick in the first.

Wow, just re-read that thread. Fuck me for trusting VSN, and fuck whoever posted that fake news.

KVB is on the down-side of his career and his sack totals have sharply declined over the last two years. I hope Schwartz finds new life in him, but I'll just say that I wasn't too upset that he decided to leave Tennessee.
