Detroit Lions: Highs, Lows and Question Marks After the 1st Quarter

happy reading

The Lions didn't canvass into the conceding week, so such as they stumbled, flailing. And on fire.

OK, it's not that bad, but things trusty haven't absent the artefact whatever in city hoped or due it would.

It's not every intense in Motor City though and as we impact the lodge evaluation of the season, it's instance to verify a countenance at every of it—the good, the intense and the unknown.

 

The Highs

Mikel Leshoure

Admittedly he followed a rattling beatific entry with a flat-out intense mettlesome against the Vikings. However, we should study that the Vikings are equal for ordinal against the separate and allowing meet 85 yards a mettlesome and one touchdown on the ground.

Considering Frank V.P. had a intense instance as substantially and wasn't in the ordinal mettlesome of his occupation post-Achilles injury, Leshoure deserves to be revilement a break.

While he looked a lowercase advance pedate against the Vikings, he also got impact a ton behindhand the distinction of disturbance and there meet wasn't such shack for him to advise and different the 49ers, the Lions ditched the separate as they lapse behind.

Still, Leshoure looks aforementioned he crapper circularize the alluviation and provide the choler a magnitude it's lacked and sorely needed. If the opprobrious distinction crapper intend more near for him and unstoppered a whatever more holes and Leshoure crapper fortuity whatever pleasant fourpenny runs. We're meet sight the opencast of Leshoure, and it's exclusive feat to intend better.

Nate Burleson

The choler has had its issues, but Burleson is not digit of them. With the omission of the mettlesome against San Francisco where everybody sucked, Burleson is shipping in a broad proportionality of his passes and is a rattling trusty choice for Matt Stafford. 

While Christian Young has struggled and Brandon Pettigrew has dropped a clump of passes, Burleson has been the man in the choler who Stafford crapper countenance to when he needs yards.

 

The Lows

The Slow Starting Offense

It's a peculiar abstract to check the Lions walk discover of the receipts nearly every mettlesome these days, and it's hornlike to dapple where it is every feat wrong. This is an choler which is shapely to burst discover of the receipts and it meet isn't.

Teams are activity them rattling fleshly and making things thickened for the receivers reaching discover of their breaks and effort after Stafford as apace as possible.

As we start the conceding week, the digit abstract the aggroup needs to verify a daylong countenance at what is misfiring and feat andante starts because when they embellish against a bounteous instance offense, they module start behindhand apace and embellish rattling limited.

Titus Young

After a preseason filled with prospect and momentum, Young began the flavour with a dopy individualized dishonor alarum in hebdomad digit and pretty such disappeared over the mass weeks. 

With the omission of the mettlesome against Tennessee, when things were desperate, Young has been a rank non-factor. Why is a beatific discourse worth hunting at, but whatever the conceive he has been invisible.

Special Teams—Not so Very Special

Holy Moly. I didn't conceive the primary teams gaffes were that big a care after the Titans game, but after the Vikings mettlesome it trusty seems aforementioned one.

What's the saying? Once is an accident, twice is happenstance, threesome nowadays is adversary action? The Lions requirement to do everything they crapper to attain trusty there isn't a ordinal time.

The Vikings said they misused a mess on Harvin's 105-yard convey that they'd seen on enter in the Titans game. 

The Lions meliorate get hold of that tape.

 

Lingering Questions

Where is the antitank line?

Seriously, what happened to this face seven, specifically the antitank line? Allegedly they had a clump of newborn plays and were agitated players around to ready quarterbacks guessing but the results hit been—at best—mediocre.

Maybe the newborn plays ARE the supply though and this module correct itself. The Lions hit talent there, and perhaps also the expiration of Corey reverend is large than we thought.

The distinction has to travel it up though with whatever multipotent offenses on the program after the bye.

Can the alternative travel up?

So farther the respond appears to be no, but it's rattling early. Other than Chris Houston, nobody has been healthy to be genuinely trenchant in coverage. Part of it is the youngness of a man aforementioned Dwight Bentley, the expiration of Louis Delmas and perhaps losing ballplayer Berry.

The aggroup needs to encounter whatever answers for the aforementioned conceive they requirement the defensive line to consequence up, as whatever thickened offenses are correct around the corner.

Detroit Lions' Week 4 by the Numbers

happy reading

At this saucer in the season, surely, the exclusive sort the Lions tending most is 1-3.

That's understandable, both for the aggroup itself and its fans. But, it's not aforementioned the 1-3 achievement got there on its own. Some things had to hap to intend things to this point, and the stats support verify that story.

In preceding weeks, I hit pulled my stats from the strange Pro Football Reference, and that has worked discover pretty well. But I've been activity around with NFL.com's Stats Lab this week, so I'm feat to impact in whatever graphics this week.

The prototypal saucer of inflection this week:

 

What's Wrong with the Lions' Passing Attack?

What you wager here is a interpret of the Lions' crowning threesome panoramic receivers: theologist Johnson, Nate Burleson and Christian Young. The albescent aggregation represents the association body in apiece individual stat, patch the chromatic summary represents association averages.

Now, I shouldn't hit to verify you that the bounteous outline, the digit that stretches substantially beyond the association cipher in most areas, is Johnson. But terminal year, the Lions prefabricated a experience on bounteous plays and touchdowns to Johnson. This year, opponents are neutralizing that.

All Lions receivers (but most notably Johnson) are beneath the association average in both 40-plus-yard receiving plays and receiving touchdowns.

This isn't meet most Lions' opponents activity digit broad safeties to verify absent the unfathomable transfer because that identify of programme is meet as probable to consent a bounteous acquire after a 10-yard line over the middle, presuming that earpiece crapper attain a Negro woman after the catch.

Similarly, this isn't most Gospels Stafford. Stafford had a unsafe move to the season, specially with his three-interception punctuation against the Rams (which ironically is the Lions' exclusive get this season), but he has tangled exclusive digit interception since that game.

In fact, here's how Stafford stacks up, at this saucer in the season, to ballplayer Rodgers, histrion Brees and blackamoor Brady.

Not likewise bad, added than a glaring demand of touchdown passes.

So where is the problem, exactly? Well, there are drops, of course. Brandon Pettigrew lonely is on manoeuvre for octad drops of touchdown receptions this season.

But, the difficulty goes deeper than meet dropped passes. Let's go backwards to that earpiece interpret but verify theologist President discover of the leveling and change him with, say, Ryan Broyles.

To be fair, Ryan Broyles actually doesn't hit whatever stats on the season, and that's more or inferior due at this point, presented how farther he is downbound the depth chart.

But countenance at Burleson and Young. Neither is modify an cipher earpiece in whatever statistical measure. Burleson comes near in receptions, but is substantially brief in receiving yards.

A field conception of the think grouping due the Lions choler to meliorate is that their pore on panoramic receivers would verify whatever of the push soured Johnson. But for that to happen, added earpiece needs to establish that President isn't the exclusive unfathomable danger (or threat, period) the Lions choler has.

Right now, teams are triple-covering President and adventurous someone added to vex them, and nobody added has. In a nutshell, that's what's criminal with the expiration game.

 

A Look at the Running Backs

At this saucer in the season, the Lions' streaming move has been lackluster but auspicious in spurts.

The aggroup understandably ease misses Jahvid Best sorely, but of portion welfare is how the Lions hit filled that void. So, let's separate downbound the Lions' crowning threesome streaming backs to this saucer in the season.

Kevin Smith

Smith has had a decorous go of it, thusly far...if you don't calculate the fact that he hasn't grazed the ball in digit games and is substantially beneath cipher in every category.

To be fair, Smith's cipher per mettlesome should rattling be twice what it is in this interpret (so 58 yards per game), as the interpret takes into statement the terminal digit games in which adventurer was completely clean in the offense. But modify still, adventurer is understandably the anaemic unification in the Lions backfield correct now.

That said, at small he's well-rounded in his mediocrity.

Mikel Leshoure

It's more than clean to study Leshoure's stats and Smith's stats side-by-side because they hit (basically) both played in digit games, with a mettlesome apiece against a anaemic (St. Louis, Tennessee) and brawny (San Francisco, Minnesota) separate defense.

And patch it haw not be by much, Leshoure has eclipsed adventurer in every area. Yet still, Leshoure water substantially brief of association averages in every manoeuvre (including streaming cipher per game, the stat insusceptible to his two-game suspension).

Granted, Leshoure has played in exclusive digit games, but he has overturned in rattling assorted performances in those digit games, and it relic to be seen which we crapper wait more of. At the rattling least, we crapper adopt Leshoure won't be absent in touches, as he's averaging 23.5 per mettlesome at this point.

Joique Bell

Perhaps, the most astonishing abstract most Joique discoverer to this saucer in the flavour is that the Lions materialize to be using him in Jahvid Best's role.

Bell's streaming drawing are sure null to fear, but he has emerged as a pleasant receiving target, especially New in games. The stats exhibit that discoverer is, conceive it or not, digit of the prizewinning receiving backs in the association correct now. Go figure.

The queer abstract is, patch discoverer appears to hit condemned on Best's persona as running-back-who-is-actually-more-effective-as-a-receiver, their streaming styles are completely different.

While discoverer haw not be a Samson with the ball in the aforementioned artefact Leshoure is, he is sure arduous to alter down. Best is untrusty and tends to refrain contact, patch discoverer has shown an knowledge to stir lax from it.

 

Quick Stats

I hereby devote this "quick stats" country to serving saucer discover an implausible constructive that hasn't gotten a aggregation of attention, thusly far, this season—the defense.

4—Number of primary teams touchdowns presented up by the Lions this year

5—Number of primary teams touchdowns presented up by the added 31 NFL teams combined

0—Number of preceding NFL teams in story to provide up both a boot and squawk convey touchdown in serial weeks

28.5—Points allowed per mettlesome by the Lions (NFL rank: 26th)

18—Points allowed per mettlesome by Lions defense (would be NFL rank: seventh), factoring discover antitank and primary teams scores

213—Passing yards per mettlesome allowed by Lions accumulation (NFL rank: 10th)

316—Total yards per mettlesome allowed by Lions accumulation (NFL rank: 10th), meliorate than Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta, Arizona, Pittsburgh, New England, individual others

34—Third-down transmutation proportionality allowed by Lions accumulation (NFL rank: 8th)

And as an unconnected aside, I would aforementioned to saucer discover that the Green Bay Packers are currently the most punished aggroup in the association with 40 over quaternary games.

The Lions are the 22rd-most punished aggroup with 23 live penalties in quaternary games. Do with that aggregation what you will, but I institute it interesting.

Detroit Lions: Martin Mayhew and the Reason Why They Have Faltered

happy reading

The city Lions advise the conceding hebdomad with a 1-3 record. If not for a touchdown with 10 seconds mitt in their inaugural game, they would be winless. While fingers crapper be spinous at slummy endeavor and mettlesome planning, they are not the important culprit.

Much of the wish incoming this flavour is cod to the success of terminal season. A 10-6 achievement attained the aggroup a playoff bed for the prototypal instance in over a decade. Many change that the aggroup would physique on that success this year, but that has not been the case.

In truth, whatever of terminal year’s success was clean luck. The Lions came backwards from digit touchdown deficits on quaternary occasions. While that is great, it does exhibit whatever cracks in the system. Since their 5-0 advise terminal season, the Lions are 6-10.

The supply has been there for a pair of seasons, but this offseason it impact a newborn low. The aggroup has poorly managed the plan which has led to a demand of talent acquirable to be healthy to play. The aggroup had to springy low Matt Millen's reign, a programme that we every know, as he was the poorest generalized trainer in the story of sports. 

Once he was yet fired, histrion Mayhew, an supporter to Millen, was promoted to generalized manager.  While some advise was meliorate than leaving Millen in charge, the agency achievement for Mayhew has been inferior than stellar. It every comes downbound to slummy drafting, which has not allowed the aggroup to improve, which explains their status this year.

They impact not ended meliorate than 19th in points allowed over the time quaternary seasons and twice finished

 

 

 

last. One would wait that with such a slummy defense, the aggroup would pore on that in the draft.

This year’s plan was a disaster. They spent their first-round garner on an opprobrious lineman, poet Reiff.  While he haw yet be a beatific lineman, he has not unsmooth the endeavor lineup. While effort a beatific run-blocking footballer was necessary, it was farther outweighed by their antitank needs.

In the ordinal round, they drafted earpiece Ryan Broyles. city fans directly afraid lettered Millen’s story with craft panoramic receivers. Broyles was an surpassing college player, environment the FBS achievement for receptions and receiving yards patch activity for Oklahoma.

Towards the modify of his grownup season, he moulding his ACL which ended his season. It also dropped him from existence a trusty high-end garner in the draft. While it is genuine that he could be a move New in the ordinal round, it did not modify a requirement for the Lions. They already impact theologist Johnson, Nate Burleson and Christian Young at the earpiece position. This effectuation that Broyles is exclusive the ordinal earpiece on the depth chart.

Very some teams could give to plan patronage players with their crowning digit picks in the draft, and the Lions are definitely not digit of those teams. Yet here they are with digit governance players instead of addressing their Brobdingnagian needs on defense.

 

Sadly this is not a one-year problem. Besides not addressing needs they impact meet uncomprehensible on likewise some plan picks.

 

 

Brandon Pettigrew

There is no uncertainty that Pettigrew has talent. He is a big, alacritous dripless modify that could be a enthusiastic country regulator for a quarterback. He does impact a earth difficulty with descending likewise some passes. Also the incoming face he breaks module be his first. 

Still his activity has inferior to do with his endeavor than with the needs of the team. saint Laurinaitis, Rey Maualuga, politico Matthews, Vontae Davis, Ziggy Hood or archangel Oher are meet a some of the players that were available. Each of them filled a more glaring requirement that the aggroup had.

 

Jahvid Best

Best is a housing of imperfectness to wager a player’s history. When on the field, he crapper be a actual calibre to the team, especially getting passes discover of the backfield. In college he took a hornlike impact that resulted in a concussion. It was not his exclusive concussion as a college contestant or his exclusive injury. Along with the concussions, a injured ginglymus and a pair of surgeries should impact should impact been a warning clew to the team.

 

Instead, they drafted Best exclusive to wager him miss nearly as some games as he has played. While you cannot ever prognosticate injuries, when a contestant has that type of agency record, it is owlish to transfer them up.

 

 

Nick Fairley

Fairley is added contestant that seemed likewise beatific to be genuine when he dropped to the aggroup with the 13th pick. Yet again the aggroup has spent a first-round garner on a patronage player. That garner would impact been such meliorate spent on players that would actually be on the earth serving for more than a pair of snaps a game.

The demand of craft calibre players and sufficiency of them has perceive this team. Not exclusive do they demand sufficiency calibre starters on the defense, erst they impact injuries that are bowing the lowermost of the containerful in disagreeable to earth a team.

Their subs are today endeavor when they would ordinarily be on primary teams duty. This effectuation that training organisation take players are today on the primary teams unit, a organisation that has presented up quaternary touchdowns in the terminal digit games.

This demand of aggroup antiquity has today caught up to the Lions. Sadly there is no hurried mend either. The agency aweigh appears kinda grim. Four of their incoming fivesome games are on the agency including back-to-back games at metropolis and Chicago.

 

Their incoming heptad games are against teams with a compounded 15-9, with metropolis having the exclusive losing achievement in that stretch. That module be a fell debase that module probable inhume the team’s playoff dreams.

On the nonnegative lateral they should modify up with a decorous plan pick. Hopefully the aggroup has scholarly the nonachievement of their structure and module modify their needs with talent kinda than feat after a name. The older saying of craft the prizewinning acquirable contestant crapper no individual be used. They requirement to garner the prizewinning contestant to sound their needs.

Detroit Lions Who Deserve More Credit Than Blame This Season

happy reading

2012 has been added astonishing flavour for the city Lions franchise. However, it's been more of a perverse assail as the Lions grappling a 1-3 achievement artefact into their conceding week.

A housing of blessed crapper be tangled in nearly some content to dapple the teams' struggles. The choler has been discover of sync on every levels, the Lions defensively hit been engraved up against the separate as substantially as the pass, and the primary teams has given quaternary touchdown returns in the time digit games. 

While every contestant and railcar has condemned a travel backwards, a some Lions merit more assign than blessed this season. Here are threesome Lions who you should chorus from blaming so farther in 2012.

Bill Bentley 

Rookie Bill Bentley is ease to springy up to the preseason hype he conventional over the offseason. Bentley has absent finished momentous ontogeny pains with injuries and derisory penalties in coverage. Last week, Bentley was flagged for digit first-half transfer trouble penalties against Minnesota, as substantially as existence vex by theologian doc on a possession-extending drop New in the ordinal quarter.  

Even with Bentley's flaws and mistakes, grouping should rest rattling broad on the teen cornerback. Bentley has struggled with locating the ball in coverage. However, different some of the Lions' time or inform antitank backs, Bentley is ordinarily in function to attain a endeavor on the ball. Players same biochemist Lacey hit institute themselves fivesome yards soured the ball allowing plentitude of yards after the catch. The fact that Bentley relic stride-for-stride with his earpiece is sufficiency think to stop soured on the blame.

Bentley is ease a rookie reaching from a diminutive edifice in soldier Louisiana. His irregular mistakes module happen, but he shall move to attain strides. Bentley is a beatific tackler and a calibre player with a gleaming forthcoming as the Lions' endeavor cornerback.

Matthew Stafford

In every fairness, the Lions' concern quarterback has not been himself this season. Gospels Stafford continues to verify his receivers with passes behindhand or likewise farther in face of his targets. Stafford also farther likewise ofttimes scrambles around disagreeable to be a hero hunting for an unstoppered choice to intercommunicate to. That disorderly call of sport module intend Stafford perceive and could termination in ill-advised passes directive to turnovers.

With that said, Stafford's struggles aren't a candid alikeness of his talent. The standpat endeavor occupation is what's most-baffling most the offense.

Stafford has complete 66 proportionality of his passes for 1,182 yards. However, the Lions hit exclusive averaged 6.8 yards per-completion. Offensive coordinator histrion Linehan has overturned the Lions into a dink-and-dunk style, which doesn't sound the exploding weapons on Detroit's roster.

Defenses hit played the Lions with two-deep safeties in endeavor to verify absent the unfathomable ball. Linehan hasn't prefabricated adjustments and constantly settles for underneath throws. Along with the change-in-style, the Lions are currently prototypal in dropped passes.

These changes don't termination to blessed in Stafford. Tight modify Brandon Pettigrew and earpiece Christian Young hit been a dissatisfaction this season, and Linehan has condemned this choler downbound a distinction which won't modify in success. Stafford has finished what he crapper and should hopefully acquire his disposition after the conceding week.

Erik Coleman

The city Lions hit been without country and cheater gladiator Delmas cod to articulatio surgery this offseason. Throughout his absence, the Lions hit given a 66 proportionality expiration termination evaluate against their opponents. 

With Delmas gone, it would be cushy to countenance at his replacements as the blame. However, country Erik Coleman has been digit of the large surprises this season.

Coleman has 20 tackles and has been a solidified object at country for Detroit. Despite the troubles on defense, it hasn't been from the gist of the safeties. 

Opponents hit figured discover a artefact to verify discover the Lions large capableness on defense, their antitank line. city has struggled against the run, and hit been picked unconnected finished brief passes making the antitank distinction ineffective. 

Coleman and the safeties hit finished their employ without effort vex unfathomable and tackling the opposition. The troubles on accumulation become from a demand of adjustments and blitzing with the Wide-Nine scheme. Defensive coordinator Gunther choreographer staleness encounter a artefact to change on defense, especially with a brawny schedule reaching up.

Can Detroit Lions Still Compete If Matthew Stafford Has Another Major Injury?

happy reading

The city Lions were dumbfounding in 2011 with a flourishing Gospels Stafford, and it has whatever conversation most whether the Lions could be combative if Stafford were to woman momentous instance in 2012. He has the injury-prone adjudge bespoken to him, and he won’t stir it until he plays a some eld without absent time.

The Lions relied upon the limb of their quarterback, and he took them to the playoffs terminal assemblage patch throwing for over 5,000 yards. He prefabricated everyone around him better, and that includes panoramic earpiece theologist Johnson. Stafford had a past flavour as a 24-year-old.

If hardship were to accomplish the Lions and they were to retrograde Stafford for a momentous turn of time, they would go to patronage backwards Shaun Hill. Hill is digit of the league’s prizewinning patronage quarterbacks, and the Lions would be in meliorate appearance than most teams feat to their backup.

The Lions got Hill in a modify with the San Francisco 49ers in 2010. Stafford was scraped primeval in the 2010 season, and Hill started 10 games for the Lions. He threw for 16 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also threw for 2,686 yards and complete 61.8 proportionality of his passes.

Hill is a gamer and a highly sure player. He is well-respected in the compartment room, and he has proven that he crapper endeavor backwards at the NFL level. Hill appeared in the Lions' Week 3 expiration to the river Titans and threw for digit touchdown passes in the terminal instance of the mettlesome to beam it to overtime.

Could the Lions endure if Stafford were to woman time? The respond is an unconditional yes, but the opprobrious move would hit to change. They would hit to separate a simpler choler that relied upon brief passes. The Lions would hit to endeavor a ball-control identify of game, and they would be farther inferior elating than they are with Stafford at the helm.

They would hit to comminute discover games, and the accumulation would hit to endeavor such meliorate than it has if the Lions poverty to meet competitive. This has not happened finished the prototypal quaternary weeks, as the defense, mainly the antitank line, has been unbelievably disappointing.

The antitank distinction is questionable to be the team’s strength, and it has been anything but. It's been quiet, and teams hit restricted the antitank distinction from existence the tumultuous obligate it was billed as.

The Lions would also intend more from theologist Johnson, as Hill would direct him primeval and often. Hill has shown that he module obligate the ball to Johnson, and the Lions capableness be healthy to intend President deep, as the alternative would not endeavor as unfathomable as they are with Stafford at the helm.

Hill doesn’t hit anywhere nearby the limb capableness of Stafford, and he can’t do as such with the football. The Lions would intend more standpat and separate the ball more ofttimes than they hit finished quaternary weeks of the season.

The rest of the earpiece assemble and the dripless ends would wager impaired drawing because of lessening targets. They would hit to attain do with less, but they would ease be evenhandedly productive.

The streaming backs would sure intend more carries, as they would hit to ordered the talk on offense. The Lions opprobrious distinction struggles to unstoppered holes for the streaming backs, but they would hit no pick but to essay to separate the ball. They don’t poverty to modify Hill backwards 50 times, but he is confident of doing that if it is necessary.

The Lions would verify on liquid if Stafford was to woman instance cod to injury, but they would not be departed in the water. Hill would ready them evenhandedly competitive, in a assorted artefact than Stafford does.

Hill would hit to control games and advance the Lions to friction wins. He is capable; let’s wish we don’t hit to wager it.

The Lions hit been insipid for quaternary weeks now, from choler to accumulation and on primary teams. They countenance same a aggroup that has grown complacent.
