Heard on the radio today it wasn't just DJ, but some RB (Swift?) and Burden were kinda iffy on some plays. There wasn't flat out quitting or anything, but some - ahem - "execution" stuff. Maybe lazy blocking or no-selling the play.

It was touched on that for the most part, most receivers are doing better than expected, so who knows who it is. DJ improvising routes might be one thing, but I don't see it as entirely detrimental.

Naw it definitely was dj he said this in the same press conference


It could be oz but would Ben want to send a message to the 3rd WR who already split time with Luther :patrice:

Caleb deep ball has improved this year so far but it's a small simple size since it's 2 games I want to see him throw the ball deep more but i understand why Ben Johnson doesn't call too many deep shots Braxton jones is :trash: and Caleb last year was inaccurate throwing the deep ball

This bit was specifically addressing the "under utilized" rookies of Colston and Luther, but it was in the same area for the unhappiness of mannerisms on whatever plays. :jbhmm:

I really don't think it's for Moore but maybe I'm blind over it. He's done a bit with his share in being a catch, block WR with the occasional RB trick so maybe in there he jacked it. I haven't seen anything egregious.

Lions fan here
:hubie:

End of the day Johnson's offense takes time to get right, and it took the Lions multiple games before it clicked in 2022. I have questions about whether Caleb can run it at a high level given that he's not a super accurate passer but I still think he'll be good.

The thing I have zero faith in? The GM. All the talk about guys not showing effort is being covered in Detroit this week. Especially in the third quarter of that game. Johnson is the type of coach who yells in your face and tells you to get your shyt together. That's not going to work if you have guys on the team who don't want to work, don't want to block, don't want to run through the whistle etc. And I'm just not sure Poles gives a shyt enough about that stuff to get the guys Johnson needs. This is not to absolve Johnson. Apparently he wanted Loveland, which was a terrible pick IMO. Good player but you didn't need him, and there were objectively better players on the board at positions of need.

I think Burden will be fine. He's from St Louis, same as Jameson Williams. Johnson and Randle El did a great job getting Jameson on the right track, after a rocky start and rumors about attitude. So you have the coaches to make that work.

I think Caleb can be accurate enough, like a 65% with his playmaking would be fine.

BJ already has alluded to some guys being on bullshyt and he aint about it so he starting early to get those fools in shape or out the paint I respec it after the p*ssy footing of floos :ehh:

Our offense is already more cohesive than its been in a minute as sad as that is. Cut down the penalties and itll be cooking. Defense is terrible tho but Id much rather a bunch of shootouts than the wack ass defensive battles the bears be in
