Lomas Brown, Tackle – Q&A Interview

Detroit Lions (1985-1995), Arizona Cardinals (1996-1998), Cleveland Browns (1999), New York Giants (2000-2001), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002)

Q: So Calvin Johnson Jr. was spotted out in Oakland with the Raiders this spring. Is he coming back?

A: I honestly don’t think so. I wouldn’t look to far into it, especially with his health currently. Most guys aren’t fortunate enough to leave the NFL with good health. I think Calvin will hold fast. His decision has been made.

Q. The Detroit Lions finished 9-7 last season. What went wrong?

A. Well, that’s a good question. Many would say that Stafford’s injury had a factor and it very well did. My thing is I just don’t believe they have identified a true team leader yet. All successful teams have that leader that is unmistakable.

Q. On the Last Drive of an NFL game you have to have a QB, is Stafford the guy you pick?

A. Let’s be straight. There’s Aaron Rodgers, Phillip Rivers, Drew Brees, guys like this that have shown greatness when required. Stafford is guy I would love to play with because he is tough in the pocket but I don’t believe he is consumed by the game like the guys I just mentioned earlier.

Q. Is Matthew Stafford a Championship QB?

A. Yeah! I won a championship with Tampa Bay in 2002 and we had Brad Johnson at QB. I lost a Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens in 200 and they had Trent Dilfer at QB. I believe Stafford can get it done on that stage.
