Lions Hope To Have RB's Jahvid Best, Mike Leshoure Back Next Year

Mike Twentyman of DetoritLions.com reports running backs Darren Sproles, Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas gave the Saints balance on offense and the ability to attack teams on the ground, too. The Lions are hoping they have a similar recipe for success next season when Javid Best and Mike Leshoure return to the field. The Lions' plan for a balanced attack this season went by the wayside when Leshoure tore his Achilles in training camp and Best didn't play again after suffering his second concussion of the season in Week 6. Best said he had no concerns about the concussions moving forward. Like Best, Leshoure isn't ready to get on the football field just yet, but he is on right on schedule with his recovery, according to Schwartz. "(It will) be nice to be able to slam Leshoure in there in short-yardage situations and have a good power running back, not just in short-yardage," Schwartz said. "We see it with the Saints. Sproles gives you a lot the same problems, and as much as Calvin frees up coverage, we have other guys that do the same thing, including Jahvid. The more weapons the better and certainly both of those guys I would consider weapons."

I can't wait to see what Leshoure can do. I always follow the Illinois guys when they come into the league. I was really bummed when he went out. I think he'll really help the Lions.

I was bummed too, but a lot of us were upset we again didn't draft OLINE in the second round. BUT I really enjoyed Titus Young, and I hope LeShoure can come back and be effective but Tendon injuries take awhile to heal, he may never play like he used to or it could take him a whole season to even get back into form. It's a bummer.
