Film Room: How Kerryon Johnson Tavon Wilson Jersey White , the Lions offensive line, reached the century mark vs. Patriots It took 70 games, but the Detroit Lions finally had a player run for 100 yards in a single game last Sunday. Rookie Kerryon Johnson ran for 101 yards on 16 carries and was crucial in the Lions upset win. The Auburn product showed off his amazing vision and open-field running abilities on Sunday night. He took advantage of any opportunity the Patriots gave him. His excellent patience, vision and football IQ were on full display. Johnson did a great job reading his blocks and knew when he needed to cut back. He was fully aware of where his running lanes were and did a great job reading his blocks.The running back’s vision and patience were his most heralded skills coming out of college. Detroit has made a huge investment into their offensive line and needed a great running back with the skill to take advantage of the space that the run blocking could create for him.Detroit’s run blocking isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t need to be with the rookie in the backfield. Even when the run blocking failed him, Johnson still managed to make plays. His smart, shifty running makes him incredibly slippery in the backfield.As great as the running back was on Sunday night Kerry Hyder Jersey , his success would have been impossible without the play of the offensive line. The Lions run blocking was near impenetrable and New England’s defensive front stood no chance. Detroit’s offensive line mauled them up front and were able to open gaping holes for the running back to waltz through. The Lions running game had a rough start to the season but it seems that they have finally gotten going. While we still need more time to tell whether the Lions’ investment upfront will truly pay off, games like last Sunday should give Detroit more confident in their run game—and give opposing defenses another thing to think about in their weekly game planning.To fans, though, the best take away from Sunday’s game may be that they won’t have to hear about that streak 100 times on every broadcast anymore. Roary is speechless." Detroit Lions NewsUSA Today writer predicts Detroit Lions to have NFL’s worst record in 2019New,195commentsRoary is speechless.EDTIt happens just about every single year at this point in the offseason. Someone out there completely discredits the Detroit Lions and believe they’re going to be the worst team in the league. To be fair, sometimes they’re right. Other times, the Lions surprise some teams. After all Graham Glasgow Jersey , I bet it would surprise a lot of national NFL analysts to learn that Detroit has actually won more games than they’ve lost in the past five years. However, after a disappointing 6-10 season, USA Today’s Nate Davis thinks the Lions’ decline is far from over. According to his 2019 NFL predictions, he has the Lions finishing the season with the league’s worst record: 3-13.His reasoning appears to be focused on their difficult schedule.“Four of their eight home dates come against 2018 playoff outfits — a figure that doesn’t include the Packers or Vikings,” Davis writes. “Two West Coast trips in season’s first half unlikely to help, either.”Of course, lists like this are going to draw criticism from just about every fanbase that isn’t the Los Angeles Chargers or Minnesota Vikings. But let’s take a look at Davis’ history with the Lions.Last year Da'Shawn Hand Jersey White , he predicted the Lions to go 6-10. They went 6-10.In 2017, he predicted the Lions to go 5-11. They went 9-7.In 2016, he predicted the Lions to go 7-9. They went 9-7. In 2015, he predicted the Lions to go 7-9. They went 7-9.In 2014, he predicted the Lions to go 4-12. They went 11-5. Like many predictions, there’s no correlation here. Though Davis did correctly guess the Lions’ record twice in the past four years, he also missed big time in 2014 and 2017.At this point Womens Sylvester Williams Jersey , you should take all predictions—even ours—with a grain of salt. Still, it’s interesting to see how others view the Lions from outside our little bubble.
