 |
|
|
Currently, the Lions sit -7 in turnover differential as opposed to +11 last year. I know people are saying that coaching has been bad this year, but turnover differential IS associated with team success and it falls squarely on the players' execution.

It falls on coaching too. Putting players in position to succeed is coaching

Oh come on, did you see Stafford's second Int yesterday? That was either on Stafford for throwing behind Scheffler or Scheffler for not hauling it in. You're going to tell me it's Linehan's fault for calling that route?

I agree it's a major issue. Our defense has been bad at causing turnovers this year. However the lack of consistent offensive drives is a bigger issue and adds to the negative TO ratio. A three and out is a turn over pretty much and we have a ton of those.

Yea because one play is same for all.
Break them all down if you want but coaching is JUST AS much to blame

What does this even mean?
Are you going to actually provide support for your argument?

That is still one play and some numbers more than you ever provide.

It's all opinion even with one play he showed. To say it is all player execution is laughable.
Linehan not calling no huddle offense more often is on Linehan. Gunther not teaching guys how to blitz better is Gunther.

I can provide so many more examples. I think the players are more at fault on offense because they have the ball in their hands while defensively, it's more just on Gunther to sometimes call better plays.

Lol. That's not fair.
Gunther can't help that his safeties blow, or that his LBs whiff and are out of position when they're supposed to be covering a LB.
Plenty of blame to go around on the schemes, play-calling, and execution. Starts at the top IMO, and that's Mayhew and Schwartz.

Got it so only D cord is at fault. Makes sense

D coord is more at fault. Offensive players just gotta secure the ball (Looking at you Pettigrew).

Yea right. There is reason why more people calling for Linehan gear then Gunther. For Gunther to even have the defense as good as it is with the crap secondary they have is amazing. He adjusts the best of the two as the game goes on.
Linehan is stubborn. He doesn't call stuff that fits Stafford strength. His play call secretion is so predictable a 9 year old could call what's next.
The offense lacks creativity, adaptability, flexibility or even a simple hint of cohesive.
You don't see other coaches getting into Gunthers face on sideline.
Linehan is easily more at fault given his weapons on offense then Gunther on D with makeshift starters

The ints in the rams game were on Linehan (1 is iffy though). The Jenkins pick is the iffy one. Why was that the 1st read? But, why did Scheffler not get a good release?
The Dunbar pick is on Linehan. He knew the route before the play.
The Finnegan int is on Linehan too, the routes were easily predictable and caused an int.
Just some examples to even out the argument.
