Kevin Jones should still be a Detroit Lion

Yes I know Kevin Jones is coming off a major knee injury, and the year before that a foot injury but the Detroit Lions gave up on KJ too early. He is only a few years removed from being the best runningback in the NFL for the second half of his rookie football season and a first round draft choice from VT made by my beloved, but god-awful Lions. And I also know they did not want to pay him over $2MM for 2008 but come on guys, I think you need a runningback and he is significantly better then what we currently have here in Motown. What's worse, he had the attitude that mirrors Marinelli and has an offense that will now focus on a balanced attack (novel thought).



As it should be expected given his history from the foot injury, KJ is healing well ahead of schedule and is ready to go now which is still quite miraculous given the extent of his knee injury (the Lions said he would be out all year). This is a testament to the dedication and work ethic of KJ. I have seen film recently of Kevin working out, running, and cutting, and the knee seems as advertised - ready to go! KJ will quite possibly sign with the Packers or Bears and of course cause significant nightmares for the vaunted defense of the Lions in the upcoming campaign.Good luck Kevin with your public workout next Saturday and best of luck with the new squad you land on here in the next month. Maybe the Lions will wise up, realize their error in their ways, a figure out a way to bring you back here where you belong.
