08:08 AM ET 07.11 | Earlier this week, Lions coach Jim Schwartz told a Detroit newspaper how Mikel Leshoure was to the team's success in 2012. Important? Indispensible is more like it. I don't care if it's Leshoure or Kevin Smith or Jahvid Best, but somebody ... somebody ... must act as a threat to run the ball, and Leshoure is the logical choice. Best would be, too, but I don't know what his future looks like after suffering another concussion. ... No one is more important to what happens to the Lions than [Matthew Stafford], who threw for more than 5,000 yards, but Leshoure can take the pressure off him by grinding out the tough yards Stafford had to gain with his right arm.

If you are going to pass as much as you did last year it doesn't matter who is the running back.
