    Call Calvin Johnson old. Call him overpaid. Say his highlight-reel production is in decline.

    But the Lions' star receiver doesn't seem to care about those theories. He seems to worry about those criticisms as much as he would to a slow, undersized cornerback nipping at his heels.

    "I'm just playing my game," he said. "Doing what I set out to do."

    The assertion the eight-year veteran makes himself is that two months from his 30th birthday he still has big seasons left.

    "No doubt," he said. "What did I miss, four, almost five games last year? Still came up with just over 1,000 (yards). I still have some (good years) left."

    And about that 30th birthday? Johnson isn't concerned about any increased difficulty in gearing up for the season at such an advanced age.
