What is he considering doing?

This is where I point towards Fangio a top D mind way beyond myself. I do watch a ton of football. This is a matchup go to advantage all day long for the Lions. Almost could call any RB a matchup advantage the more he’s in space alone matching up against any LB. Gibbs multiplies this by ten. As much as I know about our team…it’s really bad matchup problem. Baun we paid as a top elite LB…terrible matchup for him alone in coverage against Gibbs. Dean? Ouch. Maybe our rookie is our best answer actually. Go full circle from just before the bye talking all about getting our first round pick more time at Edge(credit specific to BG thinking here). But now this flips right against what our team needs are so quickly. Been better if instead of the one step short term thinking band aid…if we had been developing him as our coverage guy. Even that is shorter term thinking approach in a way. That’s this year’s squad need. Rusher clearly was…don’t get me wrong. But be because it hadn’t been addressed by the GM effectively yet. Bringing BG back after our GM forced his retirement was a must. But more was needed. Had to make a huge blockbuster move to fix this flaw in Rosie 2025 repeat roster.

Smael Mondon is actually a legit candidate as our best coverage LB.

Indeed. You treat all equally badly.

No manners and no shame.

Doesn't make sense with this guy, he is the only one I've seen on this board in a couple decades that does this? Instantly combative with everything. To me it almost seems fake? Like " you are on candid camera" type thing?

That is a good thought, but a FB would be leading the RB

That was my thought

But see this all factors into the Gibbs quick passing counter weapon. The Detroit O doesn’t just give easy ‘tell’ on what D personnel to have on the field.

LMFAO-Whoomp there it is. Gains started a game OMG!!!!!!! Sanders, that "special talent" who was demoted to RB3 when he left

Gains took every carry first game after it was hyped he was competing for a starting gig that TC. No wait…Swift did get one touch…but wasn’t that after Gainwell got injured?

LOL Dean is not an "ouch" He is a very fast closer who can help with coverage on Gibbs if he runs right or even to the middle to help the LB's

Maybe Swift wasn't ready yet and needed another week to learn our playbook. I really don't give a rats ass if Gains played ONE game. it's a 17 game season,not one

So again, why are 3 passes to Gibbs THEE #1 key thing in the game? Why is it NUMERO UNO The MOST Important thing. And not just one of the things or an additional thing? Why is it the most? Just a question why for you it is #1 priority? Are we toast on 3 passes to Gibbs like we would be on 35 runs?

I’m laying it all out there on a platter for you explaining. It effects Fangio whole gameplan and playcalling. Much more that just being simple minded basing things only on exact production running this play. Fangio has to hesitate calling blitzes just because of this counter would crush that D. On and on..

51 minutes ago, cunninghamtheman said:

In all its varying forms it’s a big issue. Flat out from the basic production of just running the play it’s a good weapon. I’m trying to get you to thinking about those next levels of benefits this play effects. Telling you it starts right from Fangio gameplanning for this week. He has to account for this play. Can’t sell out blitzing….unless maybe Fangio has a defender making sure to attack Gibbs not even letting him get out quickly freely in coverage.

Number one concern against the Lions Jamyrr Gibbs matched up with our LBs.

WHY NUMBER 1?

Why in 2025 does this matter?????

The Gibbs quick passing matchup advantage creates conflict with our D. Everything Fangio does. But our defenders can’t just go for it.

Fangio just got here. He is a rookie who needs your advice 🤣

So a quick pass out in the flat is a conflict? and the #1 concern?

I even explained how Sanders style change for Siri exactly what screwed him in Carolina. His original play style was needed there instead. He did that for us…

But we need to draft RB next year even though we have Barkley, Tank and Shipley?

What production are you expecting from Saquan and Tank two or three years from now? Draft longer term than your short term one step thinking.

A quick pass actually is an easy read and avoids conflict. The LBs go right over to cover, there are no fakes just a quick pass. I would prefer that type of play call, then Gibbs catches the ball in the flat, no screen set up. Perfect. Better than play action or longer time to clear out the zone and or give time for an LB to blitz or run out of position. Hike and a quick pass to one side without any deception. I'll take that all day.

I would put Bigsby in that role

I wanted Shipley in the role Tank is performing now even. But can’t complain much about how Tank is very effective in his little limited rushing role.

So you are going to draft a #4 RB due to 3 years down the line. More so, you expect Howie with his draft history of doing so? Really?

All I’ve been doing is answering questions. Think I’m actually the only one that actually has been in fact.

Howie gets established RB's ??? Bark, Tank, Dillon?

They drafted Shipley on Gainwell's last year, it seems to be the trend for Howie, every 3 or 4 years. But due to losing multiple RBs. Next year would be the exact year you would think he avoids actually drafting an RB being that we have a quality 3 already. I could see UDFA though as usual.

You have such very limited knowledge around here…yet in your short time here I’ve extensively directly answered you.
