Kalimba Edwards aggressive?June 1st cuts Mike Williams

Can it be true? Kalimba Edwards was recently stopped by the police and arrested for resisting arrest. Does “Kalimba the Ghost” have an aggressive bone in his body? The disappointing Edwards, who will be playing for his NFL life this season, can ill afford any negative publicity at this point. I realize we know very little about the events of his arrest, but it would seem his already shaky standing within the Lions organization will be strongly effected by this turn of events. Maybe ‘Limba should imagine that opposing Qb’s are Michigan State Patrol officers during passing situations?

June 1st cut-downs are upon us. The season will start to gather steam from here on out as training camp enters the horizon. The Lions are pretty well set personnel wise but will have to strongly consider signing players at these positions of need: Defensive End/Pass Rushing Specialist, Safety, Defensive Tackle, Offensive Tackle. It would not surprise me if the team chose to stand pat and not sign anyone at all. They are in the enviable position of being able to target positions which demand upgrade and make an impact with one or two more moves for the right players. With the Larry Brown/Pistons morass, the inevitability of Roger Clemens becoming a Yankee and the Tigers struggling to maintain mediocrity, I can hardly wait for the football’s return to the fore.

I was very encouraged by reports that Mike Williams has chose not to participate in an ESPN reality TV show which follows NFL players as they get acclimated to NFL life. Williams focus and drive are already of note, but he continues to impress with the single-mindedness by which he strives to become an NFL success. I sure the hope the Lions offensive coaches find ways to utilize Williams in advantageous situations early and often. Williams also has his own website “Big” Mike Williams
