Lions mailbag: Hard Knocks, Patriots coaches, a gorilla and the logo

The Detroit Lions are 1-3, coach Jim Caldwell's seat is getting warm, and you have some questions. So without further ado...

@Justin_Rogers does Taylor Decker show promise? And ... is it scheme or is the team missing Abdullah that much

Absolutely. Decker is understandably a work in progress as a pass protector, still developing consistency with his technique. He's a little bit better as a run blocker, but rookie inconsistencies have cropped up there as well. Overall, you see mostly good stuff from the Ohio State product and he's looking like he'll provide good value for his draft slot.
