Just spoke with @Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell. Miller distinguished himself from a big group. Love his experience w/54 starts. Steady productionWill have to earn spot on right side in battle with Borom. Penei moves to left. Hear from him on @FOX2News at 10 and The Edge at 11.
Campbell excited about potential of remade offensive line. Was a huge priority this offseason. Said at the owners meetings the missing piece last year was consistency in the run game when they needed it. They want that back.
Gotta give credit to @erikschlitt. He's been pounding the Blake Miller to the Lions for well over a month now.
No. 6 on his Grit Index in the entire class.
Blake Miller is a strong on-field and culture fit for the Lions. They needed an offensive tackle, and Miller fits them like a glove. An athletic, experienced, plug-and-play, high-character RT. Checks every box for a team trying to balance the present and the future.
Lions offense last year: First in points for, 2nd in total yards
Lions offense this year: First in points for, third in total yards
You’re watching film of a team with a backup LT, an LG playing hurt, a 3rd string C playing his second game, and rookie RG
Not a play call thing
.@Lions LB Jack Campbell has passed DeAndre Levy (151 in 2014) for the second-most tackles any Lions player has logged in a season since at least 1987.
