taken from the Den:

Reports indicate both WR's are imrpoving their conditioning and buying into the Martz program.

Wide receiver Roy Williams is laying off the cookie-dough ice cream and Doritos. He's at 215 pounds right now. The coaches want him to report at 209.

"I haven't been 209 since my junior year in high school," Williams said, "so it's going to be tough for me."

This takes it to a whole other level," Williams said. "This offense that we're running, and seeing what we're capable of with all the weapons that we have, it gets you really excited. I wish preseason started next week."

Resolute Rogers is on right track

Charles Rogers' career with the Lions has been on a treadmill the last two years. And somebody pulled the plug. He has gone nowhere.

There were broken collarbones in 2003 and '04, and a four-game suspension last season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

By the end of last season, Rogers ranked fourth or fifth among the Lions wide receivers, and there was a time this offseason when he might not have been that high on the pecking order.

That has changed. Rogers recently bought a treadmill. It is not a sign of a career that had come to a rest, but an indication Rogers has recommitted himself to being a productive player.

There have been hints of late from inside the Lions organization Rogers has improved his standing.

"Charles is going to be fine," Mike Martz, the new offensive coordinator, said one day last week.

Why the treadmill?

"To be in the best possible shape I can be in," Rogers said Thursday, the last day of the Lions' offseason workout program. "I think things are going in the right direction. I don't want to take any steps back.
"A lot of people could have quit and folded. It's not going to happen. I'm not going to quit, and I'm not going to fold."

Rogers has his weight down to 202 pounds, about eight pounds lighter than last season.
Rogers also knows this: It isn't what he says that will define his role with the Lions. Many people, including those close to the organization, thought he was finished as a Lion.

"I just died and came back," Rogers said. "It's life after death. I went to hell and came back

i suppose but rogers has done nothing in his years in the nfl so far. I know most of those were injuries but still.

That and I think i drafted him high one of those years for my fantasy team and got nothing out of it, so i still hold a grudge.

yea imagine that, a coaching staff that for the first time in a decade that is demanding its players actually be in shape, might actualy have an effect on players
