Come on now
Even within that context the Lions are about league average in pass to run ratio.
I donāt know where the idea we want to be a 90s Big Ten team offensively is coming from.
Good.
Lets draft a #1.
Legit 4.4 will test well sub 4.4 hand timed. We will see what he runs on March 30th. He will have to hand time around a 4.35 for me to think he can actually run a 4.4 flat.
Wasnāt that like a 60-70 plus yard TD? I wonder if Turner taking a bad angle, missing a tackle had anything to do with the fact that Q Johnston is 6ā4ā runs like a deer, & consistently breaks tacklesā¦ food for thought
I mean I wouldāve liked Chark back, because Chark coming back allows us to use the #6 pick on something else.
I think JSN is going to be a hell of a player. I donāt think this means we take him. Does it increase the chances of us doing it? Sure. Do I think JSN will be better than Chark? Yeah, I do.
But Iāll be celebrating when we have JSN AND a free agent at the position we otherwise wouldāve taken thatās comparable to Chark.

Thatās straight from Dan Campbell. but i could have used better wording. The Lions going into every game wanting to establish the run and everything builds off of that. Goff is the number one play action passer in the league. The Lions want to run the ball. Thereās a reason Jamaal Williams, a career #2 rb, lead league in rushing tds and went over a 1000 yds for the first time in his career.
Oh iām sure his speed had a lot to do with breaking a long one. But Cornelius Johnson broke a tackle and took it to the house against OSU, as well as beating a guy in horrible coverage and getting himself wide open, but nobody is talking about him being a 1st round pick. That in itself isnāt enough for me to think a guy is worth a first round pick. I expected to see him using his size to go up and get contested balls, I expected him to be a nightmare for us to cover, making big play after big play. I didnāt see any of that. Heās got pretty good speed, thatās about it at this point.

I think this just means the Lions believe in Jamo more than we might

He can say anything but the Lions have passed the ball more than have ran it even in low scoring games since heās been the coach.

Has nothing to do with Jamo. Theyāre two different arms on the same body.
It says Carolina valued Chark higher than the Lions did. Theyāll address the position in another way. But unless Jamo can play opposite sides of the field at the same time, itās not really about him at all.

Gimme Trey Palmer. The 3rd would be great but I doubt he makes it that far.

We had to have at least one player to run the deep route and take the top off the defense. Last year it was Chark. This year it will be Jamo
I donāt think itās realistic to say them not prioritizing our deep receiver has -nothing- to do with their confidence in Jamo

Yea i edited my response because i think by saying run first im implying we are the Panthers or Bears offense. Again bad wording by meā¦
what i meant was that the Lions go into every game wanting to establish the running game first and foremost. I think the Lions would love to put Goff in an offense where he has a Todd Gurlley type RB behind him. Not sure Bijon is that guy but he might be.
Chark was an X receiver, not just the deep threat taking the top off the defense.
Jamo can take the top off and not be the X.
If you want to say itās about Jamo, then youāre saying Jamo is the X receiver, which I disagree with. I think without Chark we are officially in the market for an X receiver and the plan for Jamo will be moving him all over the place to wreak havoc on the defense.

5 mil all guaranteed it looks like.
WOW!
That was seriously low price.
You know, he talked to the St Brown boys on the 33rd team about practice and how if they had told him he was going to be part of tackling drills heād have said something. Equanamious had something to say about that, too. I wonder if thatās a work ethic thing that the team is sour on?
Only 5 mill tells me the Lions were ready to move on.

I bet we offered him about the same, but accepting a lesser deal after last yearās was probably a bridge too far for him. Plus as I mentioned above Carolina is probably a better spot anyway. He gets to be the #1 guy. Itās a risk, but if heās using this year as a platform for a longer term deal, better to take that risk than get stuck here behind Jamo.
