Here is the final NFL regular season update on former Wolverines:• Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Steve Breaston grabbed five passes for 91 yards and one touchdown. He passed the 1,000 receiving yards milestone in only his second season in the NFL. He had a career-high 77 passes for 1,006 yards and three touchdowns this season. Not bad for a skinny kid drafted to return punts.
• Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Leon Hall and linebacker Dhani Jones registered a team-high eight tackles during a 16-6 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Hall finished the season with a career-high 75 tackles and three interceptions (returning one pick for his first career touchdown). Jones led the Bengals with 116 tackles, six tackles for loss and one interception during the 2008 season.
• New York Giants WRs Mario Manningham and Amani Toomer each had 2 catches as the Giants lost a meaningless game to the Vikings.
• Cleveland Browns WR Braylon Edwards only had one catch for 5 yards, as the Browns season came to a merciful end. The Browns failed to score an offensive touchdown in their last 6 games.
• Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson had three tackles and one interception in a 31-21 victory over the hapless Detroit Lions. Woodson amassed 62 tackles, seven interceptions and two touchdowns this season.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Cato June posted a season-high nine tackles during a 31-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders.
• Twelve former Michigan players on NFL playoff rosters: Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers Larry Foote and LaMarr Woodley. Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Chad Henne and offensive tackle Jake Long. New York Giants wide receivers Mario Manningham and Amani Toomer. Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Alan Branch, wide receiver Steve Breaston and defensive tackle Gabe Watson. Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant and offensive tackle Jon Runyan. Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl offensive guard Steve Hutchinson.

please note that Charles Woodson, blessed be his name, had 7 INTs all season and 3 of them against the purrfect Lions.
I believe that Charles is destined to play for the Lions someday... as did previous Wolverine greats Anthony Carter and Desmond Howard.
I was at AC's first game in a Lions uniform!! They played Atlanta and Scott Mitchell to AC was the Lions FIRST touchdown of the year!!! Isnt it tragic when our fondest Lions memories is of The Great Lakes Offense, and the Lions making the playoffs every other year and then lose their first playoff game...after the 8 yrs of "The Millen era" it doesnt sound so bad, does it? At least with Barry Sanders the Lions were worth watching even in those down years...cuz in several of those down years they would beat a few teams that they had no business beating...sigh.
So they fire Marinelli but they keep the two bozos?
Bah!
