Outlook: The Lions have ten starters back and should be solid again, especially on offense where top RB James Green returns in back of a veteran line. Center Derek Hayes and Tight End Jacob Smith are good blockers; Smith can also be an option in the passing game. Who is going to start at QB is a big question. The defensive front is solid, with Jeff Massey anchoring the line and Ben Black leading the LBs. The secondary is an area that needs to improve and have at least one or two newcomers emerge to play Corner. If playmakers step up on defense, another decent year is expected.
