Pro Charts FRURRAY OLDERMAN Lions Season Preview
Turbulent franchise translates to ragged field performance as Lions face 1969 season with drafted players signed post merger. Munson's passing masks leadership gaps while Landry remains in a learning phase. Receivers Gambrell and McCullouch return from injuries. Odle or Malinchak join backfield as Farr anchors rushing. Offensive line depth concerns linger despite solid linebacking and a strong secondary headlined by Barney and LeBeou. Overall, a tough 4-8-2 outlook in Central Division amid lingering offense weaknesses.
