Vote: What do you expect from the Lions?


First-time NFL head coach Rod Marinelli is being asked to change the climate of losing in Detroit. It won't be easy, but he's got personnel capable of turning things around.

Kevin Jones is hoping to have a breakout season one year later than many experts predicted. Jon Kitna will run the new offense, under coordinator Mike Martz. And Roy Williams seeks to be more consistent in the new attack.
