Doesn't a team come out with their first 15 plays from scrimmage all new and well practiced throughout the week? They should be coming out with new shit but it looks like the same old, Tate bubble screens and 2 yard runs from the RB.

He then added that the drop in temperature lately is probably due to winter coming.

Jim Bob loves throwing behind the line of scrimmage. I'm not sure why.

Killebrew is starting to trend in the bust category as well with them playing Diggs at safety. He was a 4th rounder I believe and after a year and a half in the system and in an NFL weight room. He should of seized those duties by now.

Going to be interesting to see who is starting next week at RB.

Any good coaching staff would be rolling Tion Green out whether AA is healthy or not.

I predict the stubborn little pencil mustache will roll AA out, Green be inactive and Lions win or lose by 3 points.

Caldwell only plans the first 4 run, run, pass, punt

Killibrew has been whiffing on tackles and taking some bad angles. Diggs is not an enforcer against the run though. He is more like Quinn at safety. I am glad Diggs is having a bounce back year at least.

Agreed. I think you are correct. He is going to try to do just enough to keep his job. He might get Stafford killed in the process by playing in desperation mode from behind every week.

Ah, yes Jim Caldwell the genius who in just two years' time took the Colts from 14-2 (and should have been 16-0 and maybe SB champs) to 2-14 just because of the lack of Peyton Manning.

I'm sure you guys have better-informed opinions of him than I do but my feeling has always been that this guy is a coordinator and will never succeed beyond mediocrity as a HC and he really hasnt done a thing in his career with detroit to prove me wrong.
