So the Lions are holding people responsible and firing underachievers?

Who are these people and what have they done with our ownership?

Daggum, great news to see on your phone after work.

The article says there will be scheme changes from Cooter. Just might see how the blocking or lack thereof is affected?

Jim Bob Cooter is the next great offensive coordinator. Write that down!

Why? The new coach still has to get these guys to block. It was pretty bad Sunday when Stafford is in the shotgun and was sacked before taking three steps.

Hard to tell if the players missed assignments or it was poor blocking schemes. But they can't fire all the players at this point.

Original Cooter!

What a fucking joke this franchise is. Hopefully he calls plays drunk n naked.

It had to be Cooter. He's the only one on the staff Stafford can understand. Ever'body else talks too fast and pronounces their words properly.

The line we have is the line we have to live with for the rest of the year. I was stating that if the line is as bad as it has played this year, a new coach will not make much difference.

Coach Cooter! I expect Stafford to lead us to a 10-6 record...epic!

If he implements a new scheme(Zone/power hybrid) it could make a difference we have big slow guards playing in a scheme with little to no movement could do wonders. Most of them played well before we switched to this Saints garbage

Most of the breakdowns were mental not physical....the guysarnt sure who they are supposed to block. That is a coaching problem.

Amen sir! The guards on the Saints were actually way smaller. Drew actually liked it that way so his vision of the passing lanes weren't obscured.

Oh, well, if that's coon ass, it's perfectly articulated. My apologies.

I was more drawn that way being the Saints connection to Lombardi. Had it been a Texhoma thing I would have spoke of more nekked boot legs.

I'm going out on a limb and say Lions fans will be pleasantly surprised by the offense after the bye week. Even next week it should be better than the abomination we saw Sunday.

Agreed, I don't expect much change to be made in what now is almost a short week of prep time. So I'm not expecting a lot Sunday.

I'm not going on the same limb though. It won't support us both.

I'm expecting simplification.
