@TBrandon84 I kinda dig it lol. Bring more strategy into kickoffs, make them more interesting. The new rules are booty anyway, mine as well make them more unstable and fun lol.
@HonoluluBlues_ I think the Lions are an 11-12 win team still and definitely CAN win the Super Bowl. They’re going to need to make some adjustments on defense to get there, and probably bring in some help at the trade deadline, but it’s doable.
@sophiawren40@mitchell_ness@calvinjohnsonjr@Lions@NFL lol no one sees a Calvin Johnson clip/photo/anything and thinks about how bad some of his teams were. He was a freak of nature and in the conversation for best of all time.
@DetroitOnLion Think Blake will be fine. Bailey’s pass rush grade isn’t great, and this set was against Anthony Belton, who just earned a 33 PFF Pass Blocking grade… Borom had a 35 for reference lol.
I think you’re right, but it’s not necessarily the blitz that’s hurting them, it’s the scheme behind the blitz. I’ve seen a handful of times where the Lions bring 6 or 7 guys and there’s a CB with 8 yards of cushion at the line, or a MIKE/SAM sprinting to cover the weak side flats on a corner blitz.
But I do agree, they need to reign it back until they get it figured out.
