We need to get Hutch some help before this turns into the gameplan every week for every team.

3 guys assigned to Hutch and nobody else can get pressure. SMH

Watch the snaps and see how many times a guy should have gotten pressure but was held with no call.

The holding against our DL, Hutch especially has been insane

I brought it up during the first half. It was a constant but it’s the Packers so we shouldn’t be surprised. I think we should coach our guys to act for the hold a bit. Hutch did so against Chicago and earned one.

I was watching this exact play live, and what you don’t see from the other side / front (maybe replay showed it) is that the guy had his entire arm around Alim’s neck. Alim tried to run by and dude just had him in a headlock like he was trying to choke him out.

The gameplan was the neutralize Hutch and then hold the other guys so bad that they couldn’t take advantage of the attention he was getting. Its sad but true. Its why we need Houston back. He is so explosive and powerful lineman have trouble getting a grip on him, so they can’t use the strategy.
Its also why I think our blitzes are getting home so much more often than our regular pass rush. We aren’t “tricking” them with the blitz. The offensive lines are simply not doing as good of a job at blocking as they look like, so guys like Walker and Analzone can blow right by them before they can get ahold of them. I would also send Barnes more often as well.
I was told Hutch didnt need any help this year…that’s gonna be for next year.
Sooo, if opposing OL’s are indeed holding the DL much worse/more than other team’s do, has the Lions org notified the league about it?
Send him FREE on a delayed blitz, yes. Putting him on the line over a Guard before the snap on a blitz is not paying dividends. Either put him on the line out wide or let him come in from off the line. He has a burst of speed that pops on tape… use it.

If you wanted to give up a 1st rounder to rent Montez Sweat for a year, I’m not sure that’s a good use of resources.
AGREED
