Roy Williams Calls His Shot, WR Ellis Released

Yesterday WR Roy Williams asserted that he believed that the Lions should win their next game against the Lion’s divisional foe, the Chicago Bears. Williams is confident that the team’s poor offensive performance this past Sunday will not be replicated this weekend. He thinks that the only defense that can stop the Lion’s offensive unit is themselves. Personally, I believe that if the team could develop a consistent and effective ground attack that other elements of their of the offensive game plan would start to open up, too. I am glad that Williams is confident, but am concerned that providing bulletin board material for the Bears may prove costly.

The Lions released WR Devale Ellis. I think that he may return to the practice squad. What the Lions decide to do with this remaining roster spot will be interesting? Will they re-sign RB Arlen Harris? Will WR Peter Warrick return for more workouts? Will they possibly bring another player from the practice squad to the regular roster? I am assuming will we know in the next couple of days.
