I thought this was interesting. The vid gives a breakdown of the lions tendencies in Ben Johnson’s offense.

I didn’t realize Goff was so efficient in play action. He really took advantage of the mismatches when they were present.

Isn't that what he thrived at with the Rams?

Yup. Goff was at his best with a prime Todd Gurley and Goff could play action off that

I couldn’t tell ya, I only watched the rams Mnf and snf games when they were on.

It was pretty widely talked about that once Gurley got injured and LA's run game fell off after the Super Bowl run, Goff became mediocre.

Dude had a terrible catch percentage in New York but he's a 6'3" burner and they got him for next to nothing.

Camp started today and it sounds like Brian Branch is already flashing.

Detroit Lions observations: Rookies Gibbs, LaPorta, Branch on track to play key roles

2nd-round pick Sam LaPorta already appears to have cracked the starting lineup, and Detroit Lions had an UDFA CB working with on 2nd team defense.

Also more Starling Thomas mentions. I remember wanting him in the 6th or 7th round of the draft, so getting him as an undrafted FA was great. Def think he can make the team and contribute.

We just can't have nice things

 

[Piff Perkins]

We might be fine fellas. Assuming he's good I assume they'll let him chill for a week and give Branch more reps.

This is the year, boys.

This is the year, boys.

This allows Brian Branch more reps. A blessing in disguise

That was scary.... Glad it's not serious

Late pass. Did not know Amon's mother white. He was on sportscaster speaking German. Hail Hydra.

I love how they highlight the organization working as a team. The organizational turnaround is no surprise.
