Yes, I'm sticking with my Lions. But, this time, it's not because I'm hoping for a win. I really don't know if Garcia can turn this team around. He's not the same guy he was at the beginning of the decade. He's older, and he's probably only one big hit away from sitting for the season. However, the young players on this team bought into him last week, and they were amazed at what he could do when the play looked like it was dead. In situations where Harrington would give up, Garcia got first downs. That takes a lot of pressure off the offensive line with them knowing Garcia can move back there, so they don't have to second guess themselves on every play. They know they don't have to be perfect, and that could lead to them getting close to perfect in a few more games, as the offense starts to jell. He's short on recievers this week, but with Mike Williams as the only guy he can really work with leading up to the game, that kid has a real shot and doing some big things. And with Rogers coming back next week, he'll have at least two of his three wr's. If Rogers really is serious about turning things around, then Garcia is the best thing to happen to him, because his leadership will make that a lot easier. That doesn't help so much this week, and I don't know that Roy Williams will improve under Garcia. He could just be a big mouth. But if he gets healthy soon, the Lions may actually look like a football team.
