Episode notes
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
