Coming off his most efficient 8 games stretch, Staff looks to continue his progress with OC Jim Bob Cooter. I expect to see a lot off short quick throws letting the athletes to operate in space. At 27, Matthew enter the prime of his career.

Dan Orlvosky 12th year in the NFL G 27 12 GS 2-10 record 6th in Detroit 15 g 7 GS 0-7 record
5th round pick 2005 UFA 2014

The legendary Dan O, a refugee from the 0-16 team, continues to be the back up in the D. Hopefully, the Lions will not have to use him in any meaningful situations, ever.

Jake Rudock 1st year in the NFL 6th round pick
Contract 4 years $33,434 hit
College Michigan 13 games 249/389/9 3017 20td pass

A 6th round pick out of Michigan, Rudock played his way into the draft in his only season under Jim Harbaugh. He is a developmental project who may start his career on the practice squad. Promoted to the 53 man roster receiving an offer the Bears.
