This changes everything for the Lions.


The guys returning from injury could potentially add a much needed jolt to this defense for the playoff run. I love it
Lions about to become da problem.
(Sorry, had to)
Pinning because I feel like this needs to be considered major news.
Feeling things are falling into place. Hold me…
As long as they use him as “da problem” and not using him like they did in beginning of the season, I agree with you.
If Houston comes back with the speed and bend around the edge, think how this opens up the ability to send Duuce/Iffy/Branch on the blitz. Think what this will do for Hutch.
Yes @Nate, this changes everything.
We have proven TY we can stop the run, now if we can get to the QB in 2.5 or less, we may head into the postseason with a real defense!
Let’s get ready to rumble…

Agree. Let him be a situational pass rusher and take off on the edge.
I think Bruce Irvin’s got one more punch on his dance card, then he’s done.
With the Lions demonstrably unable to mount a consistent pass rush w/their front 4 alone we’ve GOT to think that Glenn won’t revert to his early-season foolishness w/Houston if/when Houston returns.
Maaaaan, that would be shocking. There’s also the question of how quickly Houston can lose the rust and whether there’s now enough tape on him to slow him down.
Whatevs. His return could REALLY help.
And hardly any tape on him for the year. Get him back to pass rush specialist.
If we use Houston out of position and instead wheel Irvin onto the field and subsequently fail to get pressure, the calls for AG to be replaced need to be at a fever pitch.
I have been patiently waiting all season for this moment…

Did Irvin even dress yesterday?
I hope so. I haven’t seen any arrest reports for public indecency.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
