The Lions know the playoffs might be to far out of reach this season, but winning any game this season will improve the record from a year ago. The Lions do have a good core of young players to help Stafford in his transition form college to the NFL. Maybe the most important player on the Lions team, is second year wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who caught 78 receptions, for 1,331 yards and 12 touchdown grabs on the year. The Lions also discovered a running game with rookie running back Kevin Smith from UCF, Smith rushed for 976 yards and breached the End Zone 8 times in 2008. The offense will not be the best in the league, but the young core of offensive players have time to grow together as a unit. The defense did not play well last season, and head coach Jim Schwartz will have to find away to make the defense perform better in 2009. Linebacker Ernie Sims returns as the captain of the defense in 2009, but he will need some help.
