has been… Lions OVER 6 wins Additionally, Dan Campbell has drawn the most money overall to win Coach of the Year and D’Andre Swift has drawn the most money overall to lead the NFL in rushing yards.
That one surprises me, considering how many carries J-Will got last year, I still see them splitting carries. Swift in total yards with rushing and receiving combined would be a better bet.
I think Swift will get a TON more attempts, as the O moves the ball better. That said, given his health in the past especially, he is going to be splitting carries.
I like the prospect of his yards from scrimmage being amazing, but actual rushing yards may not be as much. Williams gets a lot of those sorts of carries.
Looked it up, last year J-Will had 153 carries and Swift had 151. Swift also had 62 receptions though. So still a bunch of touches. I still think Swift is a RB that could catch 75+ balls, he’s a serious weapon in the passing game, get him in space and look out. Especially with this deep speed we have now at WR, might really open some things up for Swifty.
This is what I see too. His carries will be comparable to Wiliams, but with many more pass receptions. Swift will be lethal in the screen game.
We are a matchup nightmare with the speed and versatility of our WRs, RBs, and OL.
You will NOT get pressure without bringing extra guys. If you leave JWill in man coverage, you are gambling big. Just those 2 factors make it hard for a defense. I can see us munching up yards all day underneath against teams.
This will sound crazy to say, but this is the most complete the Lions offense has looked going into a season in a long, long time. Stafford had some decent skills players over the years, but the O-line and running attack was never really any good. We never had a balanced attack on offense. Goff has all the weapons and the beef up front protecting him that a QB could only dream of.
I see Swift getting the 55-65% percent share to the 45-35% remainder. That said, I see Williams getting those carries that are between the tackles and between the 20s. Of note, that is based off of my gut feeling and you should certainly be skeptical of that source.
Not crazy in any way
There’s no way Stafford ever had this complete an offense around him. If the defense can just ensure the games stay close, that offense can shine.
I have heard this reference before. From my understanding CrowdNoise ran The Den fantasy football league. Which means he also collected the money. When it was time to pay out the money to the winners at the end of the year, he disappeared with the money and hasn’t been seen since.
