HTTRDynasty Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Interesting that the Texans and Bengals finished so low here given the coaching tree their playcallers came from, especially since most of the other guys from those trees are at the very top.

Est.1974 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Not saying this is my choice, but if I had to wager on our HC/QB combination, I’d take a guess at Slowik/Daniels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was about 4:47 left on the clock when Julio Jones made the ridiculous catch at the NE 22 yard line. They then lost a yard on a running play, got sacked for 12 yards, then penalized for 10 yards, pushing them back to the NE 45 yard line with 3:38 left and the score 28-20. All they had to do was run it twice more, burning clock to the 2 minute warning, or making NE burn all of their time outs, before kicking the field goal to make it 31-20. I put that more on Shanahan, not Quinn, since he was calling the plays. An 11 point lead with about 2 minutes left and NE needing not only a TD/2 pt convert, but also a FG, and not having all of their time outs would have left a very different outcome. I can never help but think what the story about NE/Belichick/Brady and their 6 titles would be if Pete Carroll and Kyle Shanahan hadn't both lost their minds in the clutch in those Super Bowls.... It was mind boggling how the Falcons let it slip away. Ryan could have knelt for 3 downs, kick the FG and let time run out. If I were HC I would have gone over to Kyle and told him "Uh, Kyle......"

RWJ Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Putting this out there for the last time and I think a Ben Johnson as HC hire to Washington is a no-brainer, done deal! Rick Spielman on our advisory committee > Chris Speilman, his brother (Chris Spielman re-joined the Lions in a front office role as Special Assistant to President/CEO and Chairperson in 2021. He played an integral role in the hiring of Executive Vice President and General Manager Brad Holmes and Head Coach Dan Campbell and reports directly to President and CEO Rod Wood.) > Dan Campbell HC promotes Ben Johnson as his OC. To me it's plain as day that ALL the pieces of the puzzle are there and have been put together. Edited January 16 by RWJ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Need a coach with this kind of drive. I remember Mike saying he thinks his son will be a better coach than him in part because he's 24-7 the sport. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Good stuff from this article about Ben Johnson's mindset: "Last week, the Lions had the opportunity to see Johnson work as a coordinator in a trial capacity at the Senior Bowl, where he led the offense and called plays for the American squad, coached by the Lions. "It doesn't matter if you're a quality-control coach or wherever you are on the ladder, you're getting evaluated every day," Johnson said last week. "That's as a coach and player. So, I've treated it the same as I've always treated every day I go into the office. Eyes are on me, I need to do my job, I owe that to co-workers, I owe that to the players, and you let the chips fall where they may from there. But I haven't really wavered from that in my career so far, and this is just another step in that process." This part too coming from then and now former NFL QB, QB coach Mark Brunell: "I've been impressed with Ben from Day 1," Lions quarterback coach Mark Brunell said in December. "He has a lot of experience. He's been coaching in the NFL for 10 years. Still young — 35 years old — and he's been around a lot. I've learned a lot from Ben, and not just since the last couple weeks or whatever, but since the day I stepped foot on this facility. I've learned a lot from him as far as offensive football, passing game, coaching, and he's been around some good coaches. I'm fortunate that I get to be around him."

illone Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 One of the best hires this org has made in my lifetime... Love the approach, mindset, and execution of everything so far. "winning the off-season" feels very different right now. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
