Okay, I know I have said this before, but I will be back soon… Unfortunately, time is short and I haven’t had enough of it to spend here on my favorite team’s site. But, never fear, we shall be back before camp opens, ready for the new season.

The prospects for the Lions are mixed as we head to the 08/09 campaign. We had a pretty good draft and a so so free agent period. Still, we have lots of question marks for the upcoming season. I hope to cover them, at least my opinions, as the we get ready for the season.

The team to beat in our division this year, is likely to be the Minnesota Vikings. They have improved more than most teams in the offseason.

Anyways, if you are one of my readers, hang tight, we will be back soon!

As I suspected, it didn’t take long for former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz to land upright on his feet after being canned by the Lions shortly after the end of the season. Today, he was hired by the 49ers to be the offensive coordinator for San Francisco.

The 49ers were one of the worst offensive teams this past season. Coach Mike Nolan didn’t waste any time pulling the trigger to get Martz and his high powered offensive ideas over to the Bay. Even Martz knew he wouldn’t be idle for long judging by his jovial attitude after being let go by the Lions. I don’t think he was a good fit for Coach Rod and the Lions, but I still believe he knows how to run an offense if in the right situation.

I only wish the Lions hadn’t been in such a hurry to name his replacement…
