It seems the Lions are tying to make their fans ‘forget’ Barry Sanders. First they give up with the backup RBs and get James Stewart from Jacksonville and now are still looking at Ruben Brown even though they are having cap problems. Ruben is still out of the price range by a million a year or so though. CBS calls him the ‘best drive-blocking guard in the league’ although they neglect to mention that he is one of the most penalized as well. The Lions used to get their yards in burts – Barry would get yards but sometimes lose yards as well. Now they can divide the duties – Stewart can get the yards and Brown can take them away!
