Lions post game

Its communication with the players

Direct correlation to coaching. Look we knew the Lions were going to blitz early and often (like week 1) yet Turner came out with 5-7 step drop backs, long routes and no where to dump off the ball thus, Wentz either has to run, hold the ball too long or improvise until a player gets open. It was poor game planning by the offensive staff. The Lions are a direct reflection of their coach and play with their hair on fire. They are overly aggressive, come at you in waves and don't care that you know this. Other teams will actually "game plan" for this Lions identity and kill them with quick strikes and game changing plays over the top and the Lions will likely finish with 7-9 game win total.

Jamin Davis is not a professional

Aint nobody buying that.

The Commanders have a HUGE opportunity this week vs the Eagles. Can they pull out a win and give notice to the rest of the division?

How do you fix communication on the field when we bust coverage? Its on the players. Coaches cant do everything

Manage your players

oline did a poor job blocking. How can you say that about the 2nd half with poor play calling? We moved the ball. First half killed us, but we did adjust.

Dyami Brown. 3rd. Round
Amon-ra St Brown. 4th round
yikes

Players need to manage themselves also. It is not one thing.

Look I am talking about systemic failures like constant miscommunication, poor tackling , gap discipline, schemes that don’t fit players , evaluating talent .

I am not talking about the occasional screw up

When it takes a complete half to adjust in the NFL, you lose. If you studied the Lions week 1, you would have know they were blitzing over 40% of the defensive snaps. The plan should have been very similar to week 1 for us. Philly will rush 4 however and get home you watch.

The Lions were getting home with rushing 4. Leno got blown up on the Safety. Water under the bridge right now. We should protect better Sunday.

I understand what you are talking about and stand by my comments. It is a two way street. We screw up simple things like leverage .... of course we are not the only team to do that. Saying it is all coaching is not correct.

Hold people accountable.

Jamin Davis is not a professional

Perhaps not, but he's had less than 2 years of practice at being one. Del Rio and RR on the other hand have had a lifetime of practice at it. What's their excuse? Publicly singling out Davis after the Jax game when multiple players played poorly imo wasn't a professional thing to do.

Those are 100% on the coaches and talent evaluators who in part are the coaches for the Skins since RR is the Skins GM.

Besides better coaching, the Skins need better talent evaluators as well. The issue with evaluating talent imo is too many coaches believe themselves to be or want to be talent evaluators, but they are not. The Skins need a solid GM who has his own team of scouts.

Oft injured Chase Young was a mistake, we could have had Justin Herbert and been set a QB for a decade. His second year was a bust and he was too busy making commercials to attend OTA's that year.

Monday Morning QB at its best.

and thats also a part of it , our coaches arent holding them accountable for the same systematic mistakes they make

The thing that is a head scratcher is JDR has been a successful DC .... not HC. I don't know where the disconnect is .... well that isn't completely true .... I have always believed Dan is the problem on and off the field. If there weren't so many failed coaches, failed teams I would agree that it is all coaching these guys have been playing football forever. They have to understand how to play defense. I will say I was not excited when RR was hired and at no point in his Washington career I feel the same way. That 2 point decision last week was idiotic.

A professional will not post to IG undermining his coach. Are coaches in the NFL not allowed to publicly criticize a player who plays poorly? I mean the question was asked about Davis and both RR & JDR echoed the same evaluation of Davis. Now, is it only Davis playing poorly? Absolutely not but the reporters questions keep getting asked specifically of Davis (1st rounder) and not Holcomb (5th rounder) for obvious reasons. Perhaps from the neck up Davis is just not getting it. You want to motivate a player? Call him out publicly and in front of teammates.
