Lions Sign OT Jansen, Release OT George”False Start” Foster, and Sign Some Other Guys, too.
June 3, 2009 on 6:03 pm | In Uncategorized |The Lions have been busy of late, even though I have not been. I have been experiencing some technical difficulties with my computer, which will likely result in me acquiring another computer. But, I digress.
At any rate, I really like the addition of OT Jon Jansen as a low-cost, low-risk alternative to Cherilus, should he falter. Jansen is clearly an immediate upgrade over the departed George “False Start” Foster. I like the fact that the Lions have plug-ins already in place on their roster should either Backus or Cherilus stumble, in the least. The enhanced competition for playing time can only be beneficial.
With the advance word that Matthew Stafford is dazzling the organization, the O-line had better be improved. The Lions will likely be compelled to get Stafford onto the field early, even if he doesn’t begin the season as a starter. The Lions coaching staff will play Ephraim Salaam and Jon Jansen, if that provides them with the most capable option to protect Stafford.
The Lions have also recently signed some cast-offs from Dallas and Kansas City, each of whom I will comment upon later.

Renegade, thanks for your understanding. Apparently, working 65 hours a week and not having a computer means that I am a failure as a blogger. Shoot me!

Steve, you really need to either write something or have a guest blogger fill your shoes until your work calms down. I would be willing to write up a few paragraphs to help out but you can’t let this site just die…it was one of my favorites but has been steadily dropping on the list of my bookmarks that I check daily.
On a positive note, I lost my job a couple a months ago and have been playing “Mr. Mom” for a while now. At this point, I would rather be working 65+ hrs…don’t get me wrong, I love my little girls, but one is two and the other is six and they drive me nuts!!
Anyway, good luck and I hope everything works out for you. Take care Steve

Hey Scotty, I would be honored to have you contribute, if you have an idea. Meanwhile, I am sorry to hear of your plight with work. Hang in there, “Mr. Mom” is likely plenty enough work in the meantime! Thanks for the kind words, too.
