Lions at Jaguars: 5 storylines to watch

1. The wide receiver battle

Could this be Ryan Broyles' swan song with the Lions? Does Greg Salas have anything left in the tank to fight as a dark-horse candidate to make the roster? Will Jeremy Ross ever show any signs of being a good return specialist again, or will TJ Jones emerge as team's returner? The receiver race is tight, and Friday's game may decide who makes the cut and who will be searching for a new team in just over a week.

2. Can Ameer Abdullah do it again?

Word is that Abdullah will get some "consistent" playing time against the Jaguars. After his brilliant performance in the opening preseason game, fans have been chomping at the bit to get another taste of those sweet, sweet jump cuts. It sounds like Abdullah will get his shot to impress again, but will he really be able to top his performance against the Jets?

3. Laken Tomlinson's first start

With Larry Warford likely sitting the game out while he nurses an injury, Tomlinson will be pushed into the starting lineup against the Jaguars. Tomlinson has had his fair share of snaps during the preseason, but this will be his first career start. How the first-round draft pick responds to that pressure will be exciting to see.

4. Who will step up on the defensive line?

After Caraun Reid went down early in the Lions' preseason game against the Redskins last week, Detroit was thoroughly gashed by the Washington run game. This week, the Lions' defensive line depth will be challenged again, but will anyone rise to the occasion? Gabe Wright? Jermelle Cudjo? Devin Taylor? Bueller?

5. Zach Zenner vs. George Winn

Perhaps the most contentious camp battle has been for the fourth running back position. Winn brings a year of experience and superior special team skills, while Zenner, the hot new thing in town, has performed much better as a running back this preseason. Zenner still likely has an uphill battle, considering the Lions likely value special teams contributions highly for their fourth-string back. However, there's no doubt Zenner has threatened Winn's job security over the past two weeks.

If Zenner plays a solid Game 3 I think he gets the 4th spot at RB. George Winn is a decent RB and will find another home but Zenner has been a huge rookie surprise and has shown he can contribute running, catching and most importantly blocking.

Do not want. Nothing O'Brien has done so far shows that he is even a half way decent coach. Had one of the most vanilla schemes when he was here. Mazz is a hack on anything that isn't baseball.

Penn State? Considering what he had and what had happened.. Yeah he did a decent job despite everything.

What's wrong with vanilla if it works.

LOL That's what happened when Amendola is the number one receiver and you play three rookies on the oline. Hilarious someone would even post something like that.

Okay.

Have you heard of what an informative piece of writing is? It is there to inform as the name suggests. Your vagina must really be hurting because most people do not follow the news of every team closely. The spread of information is the point of the internet. So, get over me bringing well loved bad news about the Patriots to this here thread.

Looking forward to it. I wonder if Megatron will play; even if no plays are called for him I just want to get a glimpse of how things will look this year. He's had an amazing training camp and is 100% healthy for the first time in two years.

I believe they're going to sit Calvin out which I don't have a problem with

I think they're shutting down both Megatron and Haloti Ngata for the whole preseason which I have no problem with. Both are seasoned vets no need to have them on the field.

:jnc @ those Game of Thrones comparisons

Where can I see your reviews? I'm kind of interested. :p

I can't link since I write for one of the banned sites (sadly even though we do nothing with the bullshit numbers side, we are banned since we got eaten back into the main site. Understandable but sad), the review won't be up until the 20thish of September (can't remember when the embargo lifts off the top of my head). Though my review for another rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX (3DS) should be up prior to the games release on the 8th of September. It's nice being the only person on the staff who enjoys rhythm games.

I know. What's worse than a guy from a swamps of Jacksonville turn his back on his home and cheer for a team on the other side of the country? I mean who does that?

My only wish for the Panthers tonight is for the first team offense to score a touchdown. I don't give a fuck what the defense does, Brady/Garappolo can ball out throw for a million TDs for all I care. I just want to see the 1s score a touchdown on offense. Hell, that's setting the bar too high. I just want to see these cats look like a semi-decent professional football team on offense. Hell, that's setting the bar too high. I just want to see them have multiple first downs on a drive.

That's it. Can you give me that Shula?
