'I FELT UNTOUCHED'.
Andre Roberts deferred plenty of credit all-around on his 55-yard punt return for a first-half touchdown, in the Lions' eventual win over Jacksonville. Hear him talk about the play. Sights and Sounds.

Bob Quinn’s eternal quest for linebackers continues.
PrideOfDetroit

In spite of Detroit’s depth needs at linebacker and the availability of a player who has started games for two NFL teams, this should not be thought of as a plug-and-play instant upgrade; our friends at Turf Show Times were quick to point out a host of problems with Laurinaitis’ quality of play on his way out the door:

James Laurinaitis was one of the worst starting linebackers in football last season.

With most every other sub par linebacker (or player, in general), there is one redeemable trait that can be schemed around and used tactfully. In 2015, that was not the case with Laurinaitis. He had his handful of open clean-up plays, sure, but most any other linebacker in the league could have been substituted in for most of those snaps and made the same play. For every one good play Laurinaitis had, he matched it with at least five or six awful plays.
