Dee Milliner tortured the Wolverines, but don’t expect him in Detroit (photo courtesy Toledo Blade)

This is the time of year where far too many people fall victim to the phenomenon of groupthink. A spurious idea about a team or a draft prospect catches fire and burns up mock drafts, internet message boards, and Twitter. Often it begins innocuously enough, with a simple projection by a popular pundit positing a player to a team because the need seems to fit the talent. Somehow this gets construed as some sort of Old Testament commandment from the NFL Draft Gods, of which Mike Mayock from the NFL Network is the reigning Zeus.

Could Schwartz and Young really return to happier times like this?
Jeff Risdon, DLD Editor
To the great mystification and chagrin of many Lions fans, wide receiver Titus Young remains on the roster. Young was suspended by the team after the Thanksgiving debacle, where he purposely ran the wrong routes and lined up incorrectly. That caused a sideline brouhaha between then-WR Coach Shawn Jefferson and Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan, who were both apparently arguing the same side of the anti-Young coin. Neither coach wanted anything to do with Young and he was summarily sent away. The Lions ended his season by placing Young on injured reserve with a knee injury that Head Coach Jim Schwartz quipped might need surgery.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a piece advocating that Defensive Coordinator Gunther Cunningham get fired. While the prospect of Cunningham being the sacrificial goat for the incredibly frustrating and disappointing season is still up in the air, we got a glimpse into the mind of Head Coach Jim Schwartz about who is not the goat.

Lions Defensive Coordinator Gunther Cunningam
, DLD Editor
On the heels of the embarrassing loss in Arizona, I’ve been ruminating on what can be done to get the Lions pointed in the right direction going forward. Falling from the playoffs to 4-10 and getting thumped by a team that lost 58-0 a week earlier dictates that changes must be made, and those changes must go beyond the shuffling of players. Someone has to take the fall for the Lions’ own fall. I strongly feel that person should be Defensive Coordinator Gunther Cunningham.
