From everything we've seen it will be LeShoure's job to loose.
And...
I do not see Detroit bringing in any number 1 type backs next year
either, just more RBBC guy by adding a speedy player, also watching
Every Lions game I saw plenty of potential in LeShoure to wait another
year on whether he is good enough to be that main and productive guy.
(unlike a few others I saw plenty of talent from LeShoure for optimism)
From everything we've seen, LeShoure lost the job to Bell. The coaches will have all summer to evaluate the situation and if they're watching the same games that we watched then they'll have no choice. They'll either bring Bell back to be the starter or bring in a new starter. Anything less would be an indictment of their ability to evaluate talent. Quite foolishly they shot themselves in the foot all year long, giving LeShoure every chance to justify his draft pick, and he just couldn't do it. Bell outplayed him at every opportunity. If they choose to let LeShoure carry the load again then I'll happily avoid this situation entirely. Gotta have some overpriced players in the draft in order to land bargain players.
Not sure who your We is that, LeShoure lost the job to Bell.I certainly didn't see that, and I'd say just the opposite there.
If there are no/little change in Detroit's backfield next year it
is Leshoure will be the guy. (an I'd say an even better version)
Playing full season an another year removed ftom injury, I like it.
The guy has an nose for the end zone and good power, I also saw
shiftyness in spurts an moves, hopefully those flashes translate here.
