Quote:Montell Owens, also. It was crazy having them both on ST's at the same time.

 

 

No question both have been differential Special Teams players for a long time in the NFL.   

 

While Kassim Osgood never really established himself on Offense,   I really like the versatility that Owens brings to the table.   Including being a backup RB.   If I recall correctly,  Owens had at least a 5.0 rushing average in 2012.   Considering the Jaguars QB situation,  that's impressive. 

 

 Unfortunately Owens missed all but the first Quarter of one game last season with the Lions because of a knee injury and suffered another injury in the pre-season game against the Jaguars last week.    I want Owens to make the Lions 53 man roster,  especially because of his Special Teams contribution.   I give him a 50-50 chance of surviving the cutdown to 53.   Ironically,  Osgood also had a season with the Lions after his stay with the Jaguars.
