Warner re-signs, Martz/Henderson Media Klatch

February 17, 2006 on 1:59 pm | In Uncategorized |

Kurt Warner, who recently expressed an interest in coming to the Lions, has re-signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Warner, who has extensive knowledge of Mike Martz’s offense, was not allowed to hit the open market by the Cards. They, like all teams searching for QB talent in free agency and the draft, realize that the cupboard is nearly bare and that it will difficult to find desirable players at the position this offseason.

Judging by Mike Martz’s comments in his recent press conference, the Lions are addressing the current lack of depth by deciding to retain Joey Harrington. Martz did his best to sound optimistic about the Lion’s current offensive personnel. It remains to be seen if Martz’s words will hold true or if he and his offensive staff will feel as saddled with Harrington as their QB as did the previous offensive coaches.

The Lions also announced a few other coaches that they have added to their staff. Mike Barry (assistant offensive line), Clayton Lopez (defensive backs), and Fred Reed (general defensive assistant) were are the recent additions.

Does anybody miss football yet?

  1. This Cutler guy sounds pretty interesting. Do the Lions have a chance to draft him? Should they? or should they maybe focus on the offensive line to protect whoever they get to play quarterback? I’m at a loss as to what their main priorities should be.

  2. Cutler is VERY interesting. I grew up in Nashville and followed Vanderbilt football. For 4 years, he’s the only reason they won ANYTHING in the tough SEC. He’s not that polished yet, but he’s a great leader from what I see. That’s something that Joey doesn’t naturally have, and it’s almost impossible to learn how to command a huddle.

  4. Do you guys know anything about a large number of fans in Detroit who root against the Lions? This guy has a blog called ihatethehometeam.blogspot.com
    who talks a lot about the Lions.

    Also, what’s the consensus in Detroit about the hiring of Rod Marenelli?

  5. I am very happy about signing Marenelli (although i was happy about mucci too)

    I also am very very happy about getting Martz! Our new D-cordinator has a nice record also! I would have traded a lot of draft picks for these coaches. Should be a great season!

  6. Doughboy-Cutler is blowing up big time. It’s quite likely he will already be selected by the time the Lion’s draft. Here is my Lion’s first round draft board:
    1) A.J. Hawk OLB
    2) Michael Huff S
    3) Chad Greenway OLB
    4) Tamba Hali DE
    5) Vernon Davis TE

    Davis and Hawk will likely be selected when the Lion’s draft. I think it will eventually come down to a choice between Greenway and Huff, unless something really surprising occurs. Cutler would be another 2-3 yr wait-Lion’s fans are going to be willing to wait in my opinion.
