Just posted a comment on Ty's website that I think the combination of Loper and Backus will be successful this year. Loper is a really good guard (as well as having he ability to fill in anywhere on the line) and I think pairing him with Backus in the right offensive scheme is going to yield dividends and also surprise a lot of people. Looking forward to more reports. Good Stuff-I like the personal side of taking the young girls to Allen Park.

If the defense causes lots of havoc in opposing backfields while the offense scores points this season, I suppose it could be a moniker...

You really have to tune into a small group and ignore the rest to see anything… good job my friend. Last year, I was at Allen Park - Little did I know that the Lions would go undefeated in preseason and totally defeated in regular season at the time, but I suppose had I been watching just a touch closer I would’ve seen how the Lions ended up with 11 DLinemen on the team at the start of the season. That was the thing about Marinelli, he watched EVERY Dlineman from the beginning of a practice to well after… to see how he handled the good and the bad of what had just happened. I suppose I should’ve read into that then that he would ignore the rest of the team too much, that without Martz running the O that Colletto was going to flounder (even worse then expected by me) and that only the Dline was going to be addressed weekly. But I was too hyped to realize what I was seeing. The Mrs and I will be going to Allen Park for Friday’s PM practice, the Saturday throw-fest at Ford Field on Saturday, and again catching a practice at Allen Park on Sunday afternoon on the way back home. There isn’t anything like being 2 feet from the coach or players face, and being at camp is a great experience!
