Looks like Fred Warner is pumping up the camera crew. Get them out of that huddle, nothing is sacred anymore.
Some takeaways from @Lions versus @AZCardinals:
Corner routes. Corner routes. Corner routes. Early in the first quarter Arizona saw a missed chance on an open corner, they went back to the exact same play twice that game, scoring each time. Corner routes were all over the film after that first series. With Green Bay up after the bye week, they need to learn how to cover them before the LaFleur brothers talk. This is the play below, but flipped from the 1Q.
RB pass pro looked good. Only asked to block on 7 of 33 pass attempts (Gibbs 2x, Vaki 5x), which included 2 TDs and a double pass. Gibbs stepped up against a couple free runners giving Goff the time needed, Vaki had no obvious errors.
Special Teams continues to run a flat 9 across the board, ignoring the outermost defender on each side to set up their returns. Other teams utilize multiple players back 5 yards. Lions are currently ranked 20th by average return yards, can’t imagine that would drop with better angles and lanes.
That's the drive you love to see. Let the OL take over, melt clock like Salvador Dali, and cap it off with 7. #onepride
Arizona definitely saw the wide open TE on a corner last drive. Targeted mcbride with a LB on him this time. Won't be surprised if they go back to that one. Not sure where safety help was.
Post film @Lions D Thoughts:
Carolina knew defensive rules and how to manipulate.
Lots of miscommunication, esp w/ motion.
S/CB blitzing from 8 yards deep is a waste of a player.
LBs covering grass, never identify threats, just eyes on Bryce.
CB PRESSED BUT ALWAYS BAILING WITHOUT GETTING HANDS ON. (Car knew this)
MOFO -> MOFC safeties creep early, not post snap when QB back turned.
Plays where safety help shades away from Tet McM??
Gap integrity is... questionable at times.
Also, why do we have a flat line Kick Return? Why not get better angles with guys 5 yards off?
What did you all notice? #OnePride
Fans of @DetroitRedWings and @tigers . I am guilty of it too, but lets get it right for the hashtag at least. One "L". #FireIlitch I-L-I-T-C-H.
Can we have a conversation about QB pressures? Sacks, FF, spikes into WR feet are clear ways these affect the game. Geno Smith only had 6 incompletions and *maybe* one was pressure forced? I get Detroit ranks high, but how important is the metric when most pressures don’t result in an objective stat? #OnePride
I never watched the tape, I'm sorry. Did yall take intermediate and deep shots with coach ?
@Utah_Football I can't figure where to direct my pain, thanks. #goblue
Is it fair to say no matter the outcome, the distance of these passes, with the inaccurate placement= underwood not super great of a thrower ? Every attempt is short or not open deep (haven't watched routes yet *) #hail but darn. @UMichFootball
I dont know what the Lions watched on the Bills last week. Will just hold my tongue until postgame ..
How many times does Josh Allen need to scramble before you put eyes on josh Allen ? Screenshot galore of guys back turned and josh laughing at them I'm sure.
