@the_det_times@nolanbianchi Of course Dan is going to say this. It's just coach speak. Do you really think he's going to come out and say that his team is not talented enough? He wants his team to believe in themselves.
@LionsBanter@angelavixii The Jahmyr Gibbs argument falls flat when you see what Ben Johnson is doing with D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monongai in Chicago.
Run game is far more dependent on scheme and O Line than it is the individual RB.
Give Goff a good O Line and defense and he can win a Super Bowl
@Getoutby2030@Lightshiner14@ragebaiting He's been elite against the blitz this season lol. He's not good at running away from free rushers but neither was Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.
He's great at processing and getting the ball out even if someone is about to hit him
@Clem19297710@NatSparbeck The QB who has thrown the least amount of TDs this season with no help and no running game.
The defense is trash and you are putting this on Goff?
@Getoutby2030@Lightshiner14@ragebaiting Some AI slop analysis lmao. You are unserious.
Goff had his second best year statistically ever last season and the O Line was trash and Gibbs couldn't run for shit against any above average teams.
He had no help from the run game in majority of the games last season.
@xenocma@Blandanski2@AtoZ_Payton The defense was trash last year. Campbell got a lot of tackles but was a liability in coverage.
I don't really care what PFF has to say about it. PFF currently has the Lions as the 3rd best offensive line in the league. They can't even run the ball.
@gyoobr@Lightshiner14@ragebaiting And when the run game doesn't do shit. It's not Goffs fault the run game doesn't work.
Just like it's not because of Caleb that the Bears run game dominates. It's the offensive line and Ben Johnson.
Yet people will call Caleb elite when without his run game he'd be terrible
@Getoutby2030@Lightshiner14@ragebaiting Running backs themselves are not nearly as important as having an offensive line that creates rushing lanes.
Or a defense that is able to actually get stops.
Gibbs hasn't been helping him at all lately in the run game. The run game sucks and the defense is 32nd in the league.
@ZoNe05222293@the_det_times I will let you in on a secret.
A good GM is someone who knows who is going to be good when they draft them. That's the whole point of a GM.
If you draft BPA you can always trade them for other assets btw. No such thing as drafting too many good players on one side of the ball.
@fraggrrr@AnthonyWriter5 Having one of the best cornerbacks in the league in his prime for the future is not going to hurt the team.
The trenches are already built, skill players on offense locked up, and QB locked up.
You don't need the next 2 years first round picks if you are Detroit right now.
@LionsSyndicate@RealDannyB It's time for firing but it's also time for SELLING.
The Lions should trade Laporta at the deadline and Juice Scruggs for draft capital for next season to invest into the secondary.
@guy_eagles@HonoluluBlues_ The D Line isn't bad the secondary is trash but all they need is a new safety and a CB1 and CB2. Branch is coming back from injury as is.
That combined with a competent defensive coordinator and the defense will be fine.
