Jahmyr has nearly 600 less rushing yards than Saquon with nearly 100 less touches. I really feel like if he didn’t have to split touches, he’d be right there with Saquon. Might be a hot take, but he’s one of the best RBs in the game.
I’m still waiting to see Gibbs used in the downfield passing game. I seen him at Alabama the kid looked like a slot WR when he lead that team in receiving.
As always, love the content! I'm not sure there's a better content creator out there when it comes to breaking down non-QB tape. I think there are 3 major things to consider with splitting carries with Montgomery. 1. Ensures both players do not get worn out in a single game and you can get full rested effort out of both on every play. 2. Both players are good at running the ball and catching, even though they have different styles with the ball in their hands(Montgomery is averaging 0.5 yards per reception more than Gibbs on only 2 fewer receptions). 3. This may be more me than the team, but when you have a team with Super Bowl asperations, by splitting the touches you increase the odd of both players being healthier for a playoff run than giving one player all of the touches. Bonus: I'm far from an expert, but I have to image having to prepare for 2 different styles of backs takes a lot more time and prep than just preparing for on, in addition, I think the ability to wear down a defense for 3+ quarters then mix is up with trying to catch Gibbs, and trying to tackle Montgomery creates a lot of challenges for defenses. I know a lot of things can be captured with stats, but sometimes you just play the game, and I firmly believe the game is harder to play on defense when the lions can switch Gibbs and Montgomery in whenever they please.
You've saved me typing an almost identical comment. The only thing I would add, addressing the statement about Lions fans not debating who is better. Last year and early this year there were calls for Gibbs to get more touches. I think most of that died because of the effort of Sonic and Knuckles to present a united front. Competitive but supportive and encouraging. It takes the wind out of the sails of hate mongers when the people you want to present as rivals don't play that way. I also hope that part of the reason is because people have become more educated to the benefits of a viable committee but I suspect that's more hopeful delusion on my part.
The Lions front office is changing the way teams use RBs. Get two so that way you don't wear them down like most RBs that way they can play into their 30s. Putting player health first
Another factor is that having 2 good RB's with slightly different skill sets means opposing defenses have to operate a bit differently depending on who's in the backfield.
Sure the system is keeping his numbers down, but both our guys healthy, if it was just Gibbs or just Monty, they'd be getting dinged up by this time of the year. Not to mention their combined TDs and yards are better than MVP frontrunner Saquon.
Thankyou so much Coach. (I wish I knew your first name. You seem like a Bob, Chuck, or Tom, something simple to me) You have taught me more about Football and what to 'Look' for then anyone else. I am 69 years old and very grateful to learn more about Football. (because you are NEVER too old to learn new things) It had made the games to be a lot more exciting for me (and my wife) this 2024 season. And who knows the Lions & Ravens might be matched up in the Super Bowl this time around. HeHe (It could happen) You would have a Field Day showing us film on both teams during a Super Bowl, *SIDE NOTE:* Have you ever compared the teams from last season? You know the one game where the Ravens mowed down the Lions. I never knew what was 'Broken' that game for the Lions. Granted they are not exactly the same teams this year but their 'Cores' are very similar. It would be nice to see your film on that game.
Great analysis and commentary. The guys numbers are lower, yes, because there are so many weapons. HOWEVER, they will all be much healthier, not beat up when it's time for playoffs.
By using him for only so many touches a games is going to extend his career as a NFL players. When RB's have 3-4 seasons with heavy usage, they have nothing left in the tank. With 2 monster RB's splitting the load, you can extend the life of the RB's and have less chance for injury during the season. At least I hope that's the angle the coaching staff is going for.
Him and Lamar are 2 of the only guys in the league that retain full body control while running full speed including the know how to time and set moves up. It’s more going on than simple reactions, what many analysts can’t grasp.
His acceleration is crazy. I saw a stat about 3 weeks ago that Gibbs average speed when crossing the line of scrimmage on carries was already around 11.4 MPH.
Now i know you got interested in the lions a couple years ago. Whats made you stick with them? Is it us super passionate Lions fans who flock and watch everything Lions? And yes they extended D.Mo 2 years.
You made a comparison of the LIONS Def to no name def of the 70s Dolphins Gibbs & Monty is Csonka Morris & Kick of the same team on Offense bot splitting the Kick job of blocking and receiving behind a great OL Way different scheme though
I wouldn’t say it’s clear. Robinson is pretty damn good and he’s touched the ball over 50 more times than Gibbs. If the roles were reversed I don’t think Gibbs would have the numbers he has now. They’re both great players.
It’s NOT A FUTURE CONTRACT WHY THERE NOT DOUBLING GIBBS TOUCHES!!! NO WHERE CLOSE!! - The Lions are SMART!! We don’t want him BEAT TO 💩💩💩 BY GAME 10!!! - Keep him about 20 touches a game same as Monty!! That way they can stay FRESH!! AINT GOT 💩💩💩 TO DO WITH $$$

I like to think that Jahmyr is NOT beating his body up nearly as much as a RB that plays a lot more.
Saquon never made it an entire season. If he does, that’ll be good for the Eagles…we shall see
Object is to win, not accumulate numbers
Of course he would. He's gonna get 1400 rushing at least with half the carries. Also he averages 5.7 so that would put him 30 yards away.
And the fact that we split runs is going to extend both of their careers in the NFL. Saquan always gets hurt. They use him too much.
I LOVE that he actually owns the Sonic look in the full blues with the Sonic shoes.
I’m still waiting to see Gibbs used in the downfield passing game. I seen him at Alabama the kid looked like a slot WR when he lead that team in receiving.
I love Gibbs and Monty! Best RB duo in league. Gibbs reminds me of Barry with his soft spoken but a killer on the field vibe

Hopefully splitting the carries extends both these guys carries.

This isn’t some new concept although it is rare to have two guys who are pretty interchangeable.
Another factor is that having 2 good RB's with slightly different skill sets means opposing defenses have to operate a bit differently depending on who's in the backfield.
I love Gibbs pre snap stance. He looks like a Meerkat !!😂
I can't un-see it now
He looks like Sonic 😂
Sure the system is keeping his numbers down, but both our guys healthy, if it was just Gibbs or just Monty, they'd be getting dinged up by this time of the year. Not to mention their combined TDs and yards are better than MVP frontrunner Saquon.

They should really put you on ESPN! 🏆
The inside-out move Gibbs made in the second play you showed was one of Barry Sanders’ go-to moves.
You’re right on David’s extension 👍🏾
Those player comps at the end are spot on in my opinion. Always love your analysis. Lions fans are lucky to have ya.
Jamo is a track kid too !!!

My favorite player in NFL since last year
Coach Monty has the longest TD between the two lol !!!! 75 for Monty and 70 for Gibbs !!
His acceleration is crazy. I saw a stat about 3 weeks ago that Gibbs average speed when crossing the line of scrimmage on carries was already around 11.4 MPH.
Great video.
Sonic shoes!
Can we please get a Pat O'Connor tape study? Have seen nothing on his play vs Green Bay.
Now i know you got interested in the lions a couple years ago. Whats made you stick with them? Is it us super passionate Lions fans who flock and watch everything Lions?
And yes they extended D.Mo 2 years.
In the next 3 years the Lions have to resign Hutch, Branch, Jamo, LaPorta, Gibbs, Campbell and Kirby. They are all on Rookie contracts.
I saw a stat that said the average RB crosses the LOS at 9 mph. Gibbs hits it at 11. He's just a step quicker/faster than your average NFL RB.
Monty is definitely the best of the two in short yardage and vision.
Agreed he has better vision. Gibbs will get better though
Can't wait to see him with the vision
Jahdave Montgibbsery is the best RB in the NFL He could go over 2000 rushing yards this weekend.
You made a comparison of the LIONS Def to no name def of the 70s Dolphins
Gibbs & Monty is Csonka Morris & Kick of the same team on Offense bot splitting the Kick job of blocking and receiving behind a great OL
Way different scheme though
Just know your appreciated with the video breakdowns
The “most questionable” pick in that draft…😒🤪
People argued with my about Robinson being better than Gibbs. It's clear now who's better
I wouldn’t say it’s clear. Robinson is pretty damn good and he’s touched the ball over 50 more times than Gibbs. If the roles were reversed I don’t think Gibbs would have the numbers he has now. They’re both great players.
@martinbeaubien440 I think his numbers would be much better with more opportunities.
@@martinbeaubien440 what you said made no sense
@@johnwill3198 well I can’t draw pictures on here so I don’t know what to tell you.
@@RafiqWashington-tx7id that argument could be made but do you think he’d hold up being the featured back?
It’s NOT A FUTURE CONTRACT WHY THERE NOT DOUBLING GIBBS TOUCHES!!!
NO WHERE CLOSE!!
-
The Lions are SMART!!
We don’t want him BEAT TO 💩💩💩 BY GAME 10!!!
-
Keep him about 20 touches a game same as Monty!!
That way they can stay FRESH!!
AINT GOT 💩💩💩 TO DO WITH $$$
Gibbs is the better back over bijan
