Yea, I didn't watch the game but his performance write up's aren't great. https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/lions-defense-needs-to-finish-plays Welcome to the NFL, Aidan Hutchinson. A sack maestro during his time at the University of Michigan, Hutchinson, the Lions' top draft pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, failed to come up with a single sack of Philadelphia Eagles dual-threat passer Jalen Hurts on Sunday. Sure, in Hutchinson's defense, it was his first career NFL regular season game. But, all in all, it was still an underwhelming performance from the No. 2 overall selection in this year's draft. Along with no sacks, Hutchinson failed to record a single quarterback hit, and earned the second-worst pass-rushing grade among all edge defenders in Week 1, according to Pro Football Focus. One of the themes of the Michigan product's NFL debut, unfortunately, was his constant overpursuit of Hurts. He did manage to produce three quarterback pressures. However, every single time he got close to Hurts, the Eagles signal-caller was able to evade Hutchinson, and make a play with his legs. In fact, the fleet-of-foot Hurts was able to pick up 90 yards on the ground against the Lions. For a first-year pro like Hutchinson -- and a man who is specifically paid to wreak havoc against the opposing passer -- those near-sacks are hard to move on from. He expressed as much during his media session Thursday. “I mean, I lose my mind a little bit over those (almost-sacks),” Hutchinson told reporters. “I gotta move on pretty quick from those, because I can eat myself alive. You know, you gotta move on. There’s going to be a lot more opportunities in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Hutch will be a good player but he was taken #2 overall because the draft class was super weak and had no QB worth a poo. I don't expect him to be anywhere near as effective as Walker was last week for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrshadow008 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Not that it really matters much but Smoot was in the Twitter spaces with the fans for awhile this morning. Said coaches are likely using the underdog narrative as motivation. Also said from what he’s seen/heard they’ve been pretty quiet this week and seem to be hyper focused. In grand scheme of things doesn’t mean much come Sunday but at least doesn’t sound like they are taking the lions lightly 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushing could be affected, but if they can push the pocket Goff will struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should get pressure regardless though Philly was top in the league in pass rush win rate. We were second. Philly couldn’t finish though only had one sack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoAli Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Based on the game against Philthy, RB Swift’s running was a big reason for the first TD. After that, he had 3-4 big run plays all game. Having Don’troit play from behind and the fact that Philthy defense played poorly at times, was why the game was close. Don’troit was 50% possession (3 & outs) to TD rate, which wasn’t bad. It was telling of Philthy’s defense to allow the Loins to play chase after the 24-14 halftime score. Philthy Evils vs Don’troit Loins game…….ewwww! Average TOP on TDs after both first TDS Philthy ~3 minDon’troit ~4:30 min Edited September 17, 2022 by ClaytoAli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The injury situation with Detroit on both sides of the ball is an indication that they need to start fast and dictate the type of play to them from the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Kev Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I think that this game is almost too close to call and will be another roller coaster of emotions. I can't wait. Redteam Commanders 27 Lions 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwards Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I had the Lions winning this game in a close one. But looking at their injury situation, especially along the O line, I'm gonna have to change that. I could still see the Lions winning, especially because they own the Skins in Detroit in recent times. But at this stage of their rebuild, I just don't see them being able to overcome their key injuries. Skins 30 Lions 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswerdlw Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I was just watching D'Andre Swift's highlighted runs in the Philly game. He was running through big holes inside for many of the plays, and on his outside runs he had some excellent blocks as well, some from pulling interior linemen. I didn't see him bullying his way to the second level. Perhaps those plays weren't highlighted. Nevertheless, with Ragnow out and Jonah Jackson on "the wrong side of questionable" (Keim), I'm feeling better about our chance of limiting the Lions' run game. Behind Jackson, they don't have quality depth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho fan Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Interesting breakdown from a Lions point of view. https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2022/9/16/23354932/detroit-lions-washington-commanders-week-2-preview-prediction-on-paper I think a lot depends on the Skins ability (or inability) to stop the run. If they can run the ball and keep moving the chains I don't like our chances. Injuries on their O-line helps. Think this will be a close one with the good guys coming out on top.

moondog Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Now it sounds much less like Allen is a lock to even play. Could be down 2 of our top 3 DT’s. And they brought Martin up for the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would suck if Allen can't go against an injured Det front. Hope he feels good Sun morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) If Allen can't go, it basically neutralizes the DL's advantage of their OL. I think Potoa's elevation from the PS is more about the lack of depth. Here's hoping Allen feels better come tomorrow Edited September 17, 2022 by NoVaSkins21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
