Just Want A Title Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 One thing I would like to see from Aidan Hutchinson: When his going to pressure a QB but not get home for a sack he should try to use his length the poke/swat or strip the ball from the QB. If you can't make a play on the QB try to make a play on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 48 minutes ago, Just Want A Title said: I am not the only one who is concerned abut the DB communication: Aaron Glenn, DC: Every level of the defense anchored this Lions team to a win, and for that Glenn deserves credit. However, the frequent miscommunications in the secondary are becoming a hallmark of his defenses no matter how much talent they have, and eventually the buck stops with Glenn. If the Lions didn’t finish the job Thursday night, we’d be talking very differently about the several mishaps in the secondary. https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2023/9/8/23864219/detroit-lions-week-1-stock-report-kansas-city-chiefs-risers-fallers There definitely are concerns but also our S's are a rookie, a second year S, and a new to the team S. It was game one of the year against a great QB and a new OC so its harder to prepare for. I think they were solid most of the game but that is one of the things that need to be cleaned up as the year goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't make a play on the QB try to make a play on the ball. Mahomes was pressured 40% of the time. He was 6/15 during those pressures (per espn). I believe Hutch had to be responsible for 80-90% of those, or at least it felt that way. Although any player can always improve his game, if Hutch continues to be a consistent pest; then I’m absolutely fine with him keep doing what he’s doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Want A Title Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) One thing that was pretty cool to see from Benito Jones: Him getting downfield and putting a clean but hard shot on Patrick Mahomes on one of his improvised runs. I suspect he was feeling that during the game and after. Edited September 8, 2023 by Just Want A Title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nnivolcm Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Quote Taylor Decker left the locker room after the game in a walking boot. There is no word on his status, but the Lions do have extra rest heading into their Week 2 game next week against the Seattle Seahawks. https://www.mlive.com/lions/2023/09/brian-branch-ok-after-battling-cramps-taylor-decker-leaves-locker-room-in-boot.html Hopefully the extra few days of rest before our next game allows Decker to get back to 100% 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been stupid if it had drawn a penalty. The fact that Benito Jones has enough of a motor to chase Patrick Mahomes down until the end of the play actually says a lot about Benito Jones. Doing in a way that didn't draw a penalty also says a lot. Both in very good ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK Metcalf and company will be able to take advantage of our communications issues in the secondary to a much greater extent than the Chiefs WRs.

cp0k2 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Rewatching earlier today, Sam LaPorta's blocking really stood out to me. Two plays in particular, he sealed the left edge to allow Jahmyr to get the corner for a big gain and he pulled and became the lead blocker blowing Nick Bolton out of the hole on Montgomery's TD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four rookies played well. I expect their roles to increase as the season progresses. Also didn’t notice at the time but it was pointed out, Jack Campbell was lined up next to the long snapper on the fake punt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was expected to contribute more in the passing game but his blocking was a pleasant surprise. I read a quote from one of the coaches (not sure if it was Dan Campbell) but they commented on how his blocking was markedly better than it was even during training camp and pre-season. It will be interesting to see how he develops as the season goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
