He got a lot of carries when he returned from his injury a few years back and ran the hell out of the ball the last half of the season for a ton of yards. He had over 100 yards just about every game. Then last year, for whatever reason, he shared carries with bryson and pinner.. I will never understand that.

i dont get that either and tell me y did the lions draft brian callohn in the draft we already have 3 rbs

well I thought they definately should have selected OL with the third pick.. but they did get jonathon scott with the 5th pick and also fred matua at G later in the draft. I believe they are good prospects. I thought Calhoun was a good pick because he was a very good RB in college and probably one of the best players available at our 3rd pick. That was also before we re-signed RB Pinner for whatever reason. I liked the pick much better when we only had Jones and Bryson. Not sure why they picked Pinner back up with Jones, Bryson, and Calhoun.

Incase u have not noticed the lions did not improve thier offensive line that much they only picked up two offensive linemen in the draft but i think that johnathan scott and fred mutua, but i think that kevin jones will have a breakout year and i think the offesive line should ne able to hold up a little better

They also picked up Rex Tucker who is a decent OLineman and there were also a few other free agent lineman signed. I think marinelli brought them in to compete for the starting job.. which is really the best way to bring out the best in your starters IMO.
