Will Fall to the Lions if: He gets through the teams around the early 20s and nobody reaches. The Bears and Titans seem the most likely candidates to go for a center early. They pick 19th and 20th, respectively, which is prime position to start plucking

I'm not talking about Suh
I go back and forth on Ben Jones. On one hand, he's a solid player. On the other, I don't think he's strong enough to be the dominant run-blocker the Lions so desperately need in the middle. Jones is really more Dominic Raiola than he is Nick Mangold, an
Peter Konz is a popular first-round pick and it’s easy to see why. The Badger captain is a three-year starter at center, earning All-Big Ten honors this year as a junior. At 6’5” and 315 pounds, he offers a bigger frame than Dominic Raiola, but would pro

It really does ruin the holiday
This While the Packers are working on a perfect season, Detroit (7-4) has to figure out a way to avoid the physical and mental mistakes that have put the team on the playoff bubble after a 5-0 start. The Lions have lost a franchise-record eight consecutive Thanksgiving games and added to their misery in...
It's a disappointing loss ... It really does ruin the holiday. I mean that. I am not going to enjoy my day. I am not going to be happy. You put so much into this and to go out there and an egg like that… We finally play a meaningful game on Thanksgiving and we (mess) it up.

It's kind of disappointing ... It really does ruin the holiday. I’m not going to enjoy my day. I’m not going to be happy. I won’t want to be around anybody.
That's pretty crazy if you think about it
This is what we've been waiting for
Tell the crowd to come straight from Thanksgiving Eve
Big time must-win. It was a team we should beat
It's a feel-good story ... But I don't think he's looking for any sympathy.
Anytime you win a game in the NFL, you take it ... We're talking about a team that took a lot of teams down to the wire. It was nothing different out there today. We've got to do a good job of putting this one behind us.
Everybody all across the board played well after the first quarter ... You don’t want to wait to the second quarter to play. We made it work and put some points on the board in the second half.
It was show up every day, everybody tried to outwork everybody
I thought about it, that's a lot
We grew up together since we were like 5 years old
It was kind of a combination of both
He's not one to just brush it off
He's tough ... We knew what he had early on, but he's showing his toughness now. A little fracture in the finger is something you can't avoid. It just happened. Some stuff happens. It doesn't make him injury prone. I think it speaks more of him going out there, fighting through it. We respect that in th...
