Lions' Johnson returns; Furrey doubtful
by Tom Kowalski
Thursday November 20, 2008, 2:14 PM
Receiver Calvin Johnson, after missing one day with a thigh injury, returned to practice on Thursday and will start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Receiver Mike Furrey, who was sidelined last week after suffering a concussion against Jacksonville, went through some individual drills but it's unlikely he'll play.
Center Dominic Raiola didn't work out on Wednesday but was ruled out for Sunday's game. Raiola (broken right thumb) is waiting for a special cast that might allow him to play and snap with his right hand. Defensive end Dewayne White (calf) did not practice and isn't expected to play.
trumpdown1 wins the grand prize!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!
Speach.....Speach....Speach!!!!!
I like dwayne white but it is kinda nice that he is out so we can see what are younger players have to offer.
Is it just me or is Killers mustache a little crooked there on the left.
Does it really matter. Most exciting part of this year will be when everyone is fired.
Please put Dominic Raiola on IR. The team has been better without getting pushed off the line of scrimmage. And please bench Peterman; the guy gets eaten alive in pass protection.
Kenhawk,
I think the mustache is straight...his face is crooked.
As for Raiola, it does appear the OL has played just as well without him (if not better) so I'm in no hurry to have him back.
Has anyone ever compaired pictures of the golfer Craig Stadler aka "The Walrus" and Killer? Take a look at this.

First game without Raiola, BLOCKED FG!
Go back and 'look at the tape'. McCollum is TURTLED BY THE SNAP!! That's why they had a WIDE OPEN lane up the middle!
McCollum plays much worse than Raiola. And McCollum next to Peterman is a disaster.
34K got most of his yards running behind the tackles, NOT the center, because the center was usually in the backfield.
Also, 34K started getting twice as many carries the week Raiola went out, so you cannot compare the running game without Raiola until 34K gets 25 carries a game with DR in.
tahoe,
for the most part I agree with everything you said...but for the blocked FG I would remind you that Raiola doesn't snap on FG's or Punts..Don Mulbach does all the long snapping for the Lions and has all year...McCollum stuggles with pulling he is slower than Riola, but is bigger so he is harder to push back..
I do agree all 34K's big runs last week were behind the hated Jeff Backus..
DOH!
TJ, thanks for the correction, it was Mulbach that got the turtle treatment.
sorryimback1,
This is a football forum not a spelling bee jackass. You people that try to correct peoples spelling kill me. Sorry your life is so pathetic you fell you have to come to a football forum and correct peoples spelling to make youself feel smart. PATHETIC!!!
Click,
hold on a minute...I am in charge of spelling on this site....not that guy
Thank you for setting him straight
speach - definition - The act of verbally communicating with a mouthful of schnapps.
For once I agree with Drew Sharpe, the NFL should waive the Blackout in Detroit. We are as depressed of a city with over 10% unemployment as New Orl. was when they waived thier blackouts.
We need Rey....REY....Rey Maualuga!
Would love to see sackus replaced, but we'll have to wait...I know it sucks
Andy Levitre for LG!
BassetHounds,
No "bailout" for the Lions. They made their own bed with poor management. ;-)
Dont matter the lions suck regardless. I gave up my season ticks this year cuz all I did at the games was drink beer and holler at PIF. The lions were the last priority in my book.
OMG! No Furrey!!! THERE GOES OUR RETURN GAME!!!
I can't wait until Raiola gets his magic cast. That'll change everything!
orion,
True, you have my vote.
willy,
Shhh...I may have had a few too many. lol
stopitnomore,
I'm all good, are you?
MIKE OHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
