Your Hooker answer was spot on, it's like Oh, Behave!

Keep up the great work, Justin! You're one of the best in the country, no doubt, and we're lucky to have you in Detroit covering the Lions.

Justin, for future reference, do you still put the call for mailbag questions out on Twitter, or is there a way to submit them through the site? I was traveling yesterday so wouldn't have been able to contribute anyway but want to know where to look in future.

P.S. the podcast with Stoney and Will was fan-damn-tastic, got me through the last hour of a turbulent flight into Boston

There is always a call for questions on both Twitter and the DFN chat every Friday afternoon.

If you ask a question on Twitter, mention you're a subscriber. I'm trying to prioritize those questions.

Any chance we see Onwu on the field as a DE.

An Ukwu promotion is not something I had considered this week. I imagine the James Houston crowd would implode if that occurred.

I knew who you meant. But I can't promise you didn't hurt Isaac's feelings.

I understand how the Lions want to rush the passer…..but it seems to me they would figure out a way to use Houston. If not, he’s wasting a roster spot.

Well done, as usual. Your insights are well thought out and spot on. I continue to be glad that I subscribed.

Great mailbag session, Justin! I honestly don’t understand the trade Hooker and the Houston questions — like, at all. I wish fans would stop asking them (because the answers seem so obvious), but I am not hopeful. You’re a real one for taking them on. I also appreciated your thoughtful (as always) responses to the other questions you selected this week. Your articles/posts are a joy, and I’m so happy to be a subscriber!

Metallica for Super Bowl halftime. Surprised it hasn’t happened yet.

imagine if the Lions made it the year Metallica did the halftime... Dan would lose the game because he stayed on the field at halftime and didn't prep for the second half

Metallica, AC/DC and Pantera with hologram Darrell. Make it happen.
