Steve: Has Matt Elam's comments regarding Megatron become bulletin Board material?
David: We haven't' gotten a reaction from most of the players up to this point but knowing Calvin Johnson I doubt he will pay much attention to it. It might fire up the guys around him a little bit more, but Calvin doesn't get phased by things other people say. I don't think Elam was insulting him I think that he was just referring to how good Megatron has been for so long.
Ed: Is Reggie Bush ready to go?
David: Yeah Reggie will be able to go, I think the cold and snow prevented him from playing last week but this week he should be able to perform at a high level.
Ed: What about Ndamukong Suh and the defensive line?
David: Yeah they have been playing well especially Suh, he is having the best year of his career. The lions D ends are benefiting from the inside of the line, I would stay away from calling them dirty or cheap because that definitely fired up the defense.
