BREAKING DOWN DETROIT'S OFFENSE: THE ARTISTRY & DESIGN OF THE BEN JOHNSON SCHEME  

Thank you. Very kind of you to say. I appreciate it. I think it will take me a week to produce a follow up, I am also working on Draft video.

2:56 Do you have an identity on “X”? Would love to follow… and promote. I’m frequently asked whose analysis I’m citing when I refer to your all_22 pov’s. Thx. 😊

23 was amazing, 24 is gonna be a dream. They're getting the 1 seed this year. They're gonna be so good

​@joshlewis575 Careful Josh. Don't bet your mortgage money. That's why they play the games. I agree that if the new secondary meshes and plays as advertised, the Lion's have as good of a chance as anyone else to a SB win. But, they could have injuries to key players, maybe the secondary doesn't mesh, rookies play like rookies, Davis gets hurt, Robertson's too small. You never know, that's why they have to play the games.

Everyone talks about Goff's slow feet, but ignores his quick mind. When they gave out Wonderlic intelligence tests to draft prospects, an adequate QB score was in the 20s. Goff supposedly got a 36.

I agree people call Dan a “CEO” coach whatever that means, which is derogatory towards what Dan has done unless you compare him to like Jeff Bezos because he’s a deep and critical thinker. He has that alpha mindset in a violent game but has that critical thinking to stay alive, he built this team and led this team to where it is now and has played this game before. And if I’m wrong, I’m pretty sure Dan Patricia brought in Ben Johnson.

The only concern i had about losing BJ was that he was going to take Hank Fraley with him - that I was concerned about - glad we don't need to worry about it . I think it was a wise choice - I think BJ still needs more experience - he is doing well but there are still plenty of areas that he needs to improve - especially halftime adjustments.

This is definitely Dan Campbells offense at heart. Ever since lynn was canned they've been run heavy play action pass kinda team.

Yep, once Dan took over play calling, the offense flipped. That's when Goff went from looking pedestrian to the Goff we see today. And it wasn't gradual, it was like a switch was flipped. If I remember Dan didn't decide on giving up play calling duty until shortly before the season of BJs first year as OC.

I just never understand the connection when there's film that illustrates what a coach utilizes.

@@all_22_films Fans prefer simple either/or explanations in everything. I'll use other examples to illustrate how we conflate titles with what a person does. First, the Eagles. Sirianni is like Bowles. He sends his team onto the field & says "may the best roster win." No trick plays, no straying from this core concept. I noticed this in '22 when they almost lost to _those_ Cardinals because Murray was mounting a comeback & he changed nothing & almost allowed it to happen. Now what did he do last season while everyone else could see both the OC & DC failing? Nothing. Dan Campbell fired his d-line coach for failing to communicate properly. Sirianni watched his entire team burn & just kept watching it. People want the title "HC" to mean the same thing in all cases though. Another example would be how whenever Matt Eberflus is busy elsewhere & Luke Getsy gets to have more control over the play-calling, the Bears' offense improves several-fold. So what happens in cases like this where the HC thinks he's better than his play-callers or micro-manages? See, we Don't Know What % On What Team is Andy Reid or his OC. People are uncomfortable not knowing so they try to say "it _IS 100% this or that"_ to cover for this discomfort. "Jordan Love proves sitting on the bench learning works." Well, he proceeded this year _after_ doing that about the same as C.J. Stroud did *without* that advantage. But most people feel the need for One Thing to stand clearly as what is *known to be* right. So when something isn't clearly so, they pretend that it is.

Coach is partial to James Houston and along the way, continues to discover the other guys worthy of attention on this roster.

Great question. I have two Run plays and at least one Pass play to label as foundational.

It’s not as easy pick up on them in the NFL as it is High School where you see them 15-20 times a game, sometimes more.

Understood. I have to do the same thing when creating one of these. Feel free to let me know what you think.

@@all_22_films Oh I am a quarter of they ways through and have conflicting feelings! Meaning this is so cool but also 'WTF Coach, don't give away Ben's secrets!' Knowing full well that NFL coaches will be doing this already. LOL

Of course. I think Goff and the Lions use their's, particularly in Zone 4, more often than most teams.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Very cool. I usually can't find time to watch longer videos either.
