Lions postgame

[mooby]

I sub to Mark Bullock's substack and he had an excellent post today breaking down a specific reason why our D struggled this week. WR bunch sets - we had a bunch of miscommunications throughout week 1 because St. Juste and co. weren't cleanly defining their responsibilities. They have options - everyone can go man to man or defenders can pass off a receiver to a specific area so they don't get jammed up in man to man. There were several plays last week where it was clear we weren't communicating well which led to receivers running free - Trevor Lawrence didn't exploit those opportunities though. Detroit picked up on it in film and tested it out this week and it was clear we hadn't fixed this week in practice so they exploited it all day. The A. St. Brown 49 yarder came from a bunches coverage exploit.

Anyways this is the long route of saying Ron doesn't think this is a big issue, or he does and he's not letting on. Either way they gotta get it fixed otherwise the Eagles will be exploiting it next week.
