James Stewart has been Detroit's leading rusher the last three years but he's brittle, getting older, and is not a big fan favorite. Gary is as good a runner and has better hands.

If Gary comes in and does a good job in Stewart's absence will he get a chance to start even when Stewart returns?

Definitely a strong possibility..if Gary can reclaim the form he held when he was subbing for TD a few years ago. Otherwise, they may go with a RB by committee approach

Yes. Definitely - Stewart can't stay healthy - Bryson might even replace him if he can manage to stay a tad healthier if Gary doesn't work out.

It looks like the Lions are quickly becoming Buffalo North.

Watch out for Bryson. He is a fast dude. He may be the guy there now.

Wow. From almost cut to starting RB. Quite the move for Olandis.
