Know thy enemy: Packers - Tyler Dunne: The OL weren’t too happy with James Jones when he pointed the finger at them for letting Aaron Rodgers get sacked five times by the Giants, but he was right. The protection needed to improve then, and it’ll need to improve now.
Know thy enemy: Lions - Dave Birkett: Mel Kiper doesn't expect either of the draft's top two linemen, Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher, to get past the Lions' No. 5 pick. Kevin Seifert: Would Lane Johnson be a reach at No.5?
Know thy enemy: Lions - Chris McCosky: Though the Lions have taken a WR in each of the last four drafts, two in the second round and one in the third, they still find themselves a receiver or two, or three short.
