The Detroit Lions open the exhibition season tonight and frankly I am baffled.
I have no idea what to expect.
Granted, exhibition games are meaningless and nearly unwatchable, but I am intrigued about the changes that will be made now that it appears that coach Rod Marinelli is firmly in control.
Will his running scheme work? Is the Tampa Two defense finally taking root?
The talent level does not appear to be great, but the Lions seem to have added some character to the roster. The question is whether that will make any difference.
