Out: Rudi Johnson
In: Maurice Morris
For those of you who just got done seeing Transformers II, the nickname for the 2009 Lions: Decepticons, go.
Calvin Johnson is Megatron—an apt nickname for the physical monstrosity.
This would make Matthew Stafford The Fallen, the leader we just learned about.
Last, but certainly not least, would be the second in command, Starscream, or as he is more commonly known, Kevin Smith.
Behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league Kevin Smith put together a surprisingly efficient campaign.
Good News: With Rudi Johnson gone and Maurice Morris in Kevin Smith should see a lot more carries.
Bad News: The Lions are in the NFC North and forced to play Chicago and Minnesota, two of the league's top 10 run defenses, twice a year.
Worse News: The NFC North's AFC counterpart is the AFC North, featuring the Steelers and the Ravens, the two best run defenses not named the Vikings.
The Lions will be playing four games against the league's top three run defenses.
Add in games against San Francisco and an early matchup with the Redskins, and the outlook for the Lions run game is quite bleak.
