Episode notes
Big-Play Vulnerability In Pass Defense
- The Lions' pass defense repeatedly gives up explosive 30+ yard plays and it cost them against the Giants.
- Those big-play breakdowns are a recurring season-long problem, not a one-off fluke.
Slow Pressure Creates Coverage Risk
- Slow pass-rush timing amplifies coverage breakdowns because corners must hold longer.
- Playing disciplined rush lanes is a strategy but it increases risk of deep completions in today's NFL.
Shorten QB Decision Time
- Add a quicker interior disruptor or edge threat to shorten QB decision time and reduce deep shots.
- Getting Marcus Davenport or a disruptive interior rusher healthy would materially help the pass rush.
