Stafford comments on offense

[tonyballs]

Decker should be good. Swanson was horrible last year, hopefully Glasgow makes him better as he may not be ready. Reiff could step it up a notch. Depth seems improved. Guards are good. I have a feeling Zenner is going to be productive. Him, Abdullah, and Riddick should be good enough. Doubt Ridley makes team. Dwayne Washington is intriguing.

I think they brought in Ridley to be that hammer and get those tough yards. If healthy, he'll play.
Washington is a bigger version of Riddick IMO. Lots of screens and dumpoffs over the middle so he can make plays with his speed. I don't see him getting many carries

Swanson fixed his shoulders. Glasgow has been behind swanson and ikard

Lot can change once the pads go on. Either way, not looking good at C again.

Have a source for that? I've been looking forward to hearing about the position battle between Swanson/Glasgow and haven't seen much of anything. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, hopefully this is more indicative of Swanson improving and not Glasgow disappointing.

Swanson leading still. Lots to know at center with protections

I'm all about the run game this year. Hopefully it will be vastly improved.

If you guys have been reading the news and notes, the offensive line is getting killed by the defense. It always takes a bit longer for a line to gel but so far they haven't been good. Reiff apparently is doing great in his move to RT though.

In their defense (the O line)....I think Ziggy and Devin Taylor will make a lot of tackles look bad this year.

But it would be nice to hear a story about how good the Oline has been. If they struggle this year I don't think it's any secret the Lions will not be very good.

Oline rebounded on wed and thursday some. One on one drills very different from games. Lions have a very good dline though

Still kind of early to panic about the OLine. Let it play out a bit longer lol

I did hear that Decker was struggling a bit tho. No better man than Ziggy to teach the young buck....

Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I would say the Dline starters are very good, but they have essentially zero depth, especially at DE. This concerns me

Gilberry has played solid for bengals in many snaps the last few years. Top 5 d. We are fine with de depth. Tapp wasnt the reason lions were so good in 2014.
