Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew is doing his best to retain all the key players and coaches from this season’s playoff team. Mayhew announced Detroit re-signed offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham and special teams coordinator Danny Crossman. He would reveal any specifics about their contracts. In addition, Mayhew said he plans to work on a contract extension for receiver Calvin Johnson, plus lock up defensive end Cliff Avril to a long-term deal, this offseason. “I think we have an opportunity to work on that this offseason,” Mayhew said about Johnson’s extension. “I do not think it is something that absolutely has to be done, but we have an opportunity to work on it.

In 2005, the Oakland Raiders promoted 2003 draft pick Nnamdi Asomugha to a full-time starter. He quickly developed into one of the league’s elite cover corners in Oakland’s man-coverage scheme. From 2006-10, Oakland Raiders ranked in the top 10 in passing defense each season, but Asomugha signed with the Philadelphia Eagles before the 2011 season. Not surprisingly, Oakland Raiders secondary has suffered in his absence. They are currently ranked 23rd in the league, allowing 244 yards through the air each week. For Detroit, it is unfair to call this Calvin Johnson’s breakout season. Perhaps it is more apt to say he has worn Calvin Johnson Jersey and ascended to elite status with his 1,335 yards and 14 touchdowns through 14 games this season. At 6-foot-5, 235 pounds, it is Johnson’s size that is the noticeable advantage, but it was his sub 4.4 40-yard speed that torched the Raiders for nine receptions, 214 and a pair of touchdowns.

It was Ndamukong Suh who tipped Sebastian Janikowski’s 65-yard field goal attempt to seal Detroit’s 28-27 win over Oakland Raiders on Sunday, but lining up near the big defensive tackle was wide receiver Calvin Johnson. The 6-foot-5, 235-pounder has worn Calvin Johnson Jersey and played defensive back in Hail Mary situations, but Johnson’s presence can come in handy whenever the Lions can benefit from his 44-inch vertical jump. “He is a great athlete and he breaks a lot of molds when it comes to what a wide receiver is supposed to do,” said head coach Jim Schwartz. “He wears Calvin Johnson Jersey and also blocks very well. We scored some touchdowns this year based on his blocking.” As talented as Johnson was coming into the league as Detroit’s first-round pick in the 2007 NFL draft, there were areas of his game he had to work on. “The other thing that Calvin has really done a good job of over the last two years – give credit to Matt, and also give credit to our offensive coaches – was work hard to develop a short game, also,” Schwartz said. “That is something that a couple years ago really was not part of his arsenal and now he is a very, very good underneath receiver and there is going to be times where people are going to take something away. “Last week we saw them – they were working hard to match-up underneath routes. He had opportunities to go deep and he is a complete player and if you are that way, then you can be productive on a weekly basis.” You can log on our Online NFL Shop and select our best quality Calvin Johnson Jersey and Detroit Lions Jerseys if you are die-hard fans of Calvin Johnson and Detroit Lions.
