This is actually most of the key. Because a blitz that doesn't hits on time only leaves the rest of the defense more vulnerable and it's easier to pass
@@jimtrantham4532 This. It's the whole team effort. You see our star receiver throwing blocks downfield on every play he can get into. Tim Patrick has had a few blocks already this season where it made me question how teams let this guy slip through the cracks. I've seen Monty take so many blitzes to the chin to get Goff the time he's needed that I cant even count them. You're starting to see it on the special teams now, too. The entire squad is bought into the culture MCDC built and they're all playing for each other.
The Lions' OL has been sucking every year with Goff at the helm when including the backup players replacing the injured starters. ESPN's Deep Analytics prove it. The reason the PFF didn't record many sacks is due to Goff throwing it sooner.

What I've noticed from watching Goff over the past few years is that he is fearless under pressure and can bounce back from mistakes immediately. Incredible traits to have as a QB1.
This. He turned it all around once he became fearless. In the beginning here u could see the nervousness when he'd get pressured. Now he just stares it down delivers the ball and takes his lick. He's a baller
Go watch the Saints Rams championship game (yes, the one with that bad call), but loudest game you'll ever see. Goff can't hear his coach, and they are going off hand signals. I don't know how many other QB's in the league win that game. He has some physical limitations as a tall lankey guy, but he is resilient, mentally tough guy. Also, Brees threw 2 picks after that bad call so really can't say that was why they lost. If your QB gets 2 more chances with the ball and throws a pick each time, that is why you lost.
One of the things that I initially hated about Goff was that there were times he'd get rattled and I swear you could see it in his face. From there things normally seemed to go downhill fast for him. Since his time with the Lions he's evolved so far away from that and matured immensely. I still can't believe based on how much I love him now that I used to dislike him so much.
It’s like they keep hoping the old Goff will come back instead of trying new solutions. Maybe the dude is just elite now and you need to game plan for him as such moving forward??
Of everyone who got payed, Goff is the standout guy who's earning it. This transformation from being a guy who you worry about throwing multiple interceptions per game, to a the guy other offenses are trying emulate is unreal.
Turns out, when a veteran QB is given control of his protections and audible packages while standing behind his center, they tend to do a lot better than when a coach is doing it from the sideline.
More like Goff initially was afraid of offending his coach, to keep team harmony but the coaches in Detroit have repeatedly informed him that they delegate authority until/unless he proves that they should micromanage him.
@independentaquaman7424 He barely calls audibles. Most of the offense is set up through the OC. Most of the plays are called beforehand. Actually, if you want to see what happens when Goff audibles more, look at his last game. Thank God our defense is as good as it is.
The thing about Goff that won’t show up in the stats, he almost always gets the team into the right play call or protection. He’s might be the best QB in the league at reading a defense before the snap.
I feel like no one mentions how crazy it was that the Lions were able to just casually add Kevin Zeitler to their offensive line. Arguably the best lineman for the ravens last year joins an already stacked front. I’m not surprised at how dominant they’ve been this year
Watch Goff’s eyes. He doesn’t even pay any mind to the pass rush. A guy could be a millimeter away from tearing his head off and his eyes are still locked downfield looking for a play. You can tell he’s got confidence in his protection. The coaches giving him full control of calling audibles or changing protection definitely doesn’t hurt either.
Simple observation; there comes a point where the game starts to slow down for ANY QB, and they start being able to exploit pressure, especially from blitzes. You're seeing something similar with Sam Darnold in Minnesota. It's a matter of surviving in the league long enough to reach the point where you've seen pretty much everything NFL defenses will throw at you.
Goff isn’t doing anything fancy. It’s just that Goff has been playing so much that things have gotten easier and has slowed down for him that he’s used to it. You can apply this logic to any video game you play. Goff knows that he’s go be blitz but the game has slowed down for him until the point that he’s used to the pressure of the blitz. Goff has simply evolved as a QB that simply blitzing him and expecting him to panic doesn’t work anymore
That’s not really the case. 1. Goff has an elite run game which takes pressure off the passing game 2. He has an elite offensive line And #2 is what allows #1 Take away that O-Line and the lions would be trash
@@blatty2646 you literally miss my entire implied premise. I’m saying everyone can look a lot better than they really are if they have those two ingredients. Goff is not elite he is not great(top 12 sure) but the lions system is designed to let a mid pocket passer thrive. Don’t worry he’ll come crashing back down to earth soon like Sam “I’m seeing ghosts” darnold has in the last few games. Remember similar offensive ideologies let jimmy g go to multiple afc championship games. Honestly it’s just more proof that offensive lineman are underpaid, under appreciated and under valued.
@ I’m sorry, comparing almost 3 seasons of this level of play, to less than half a season from Darnold is astoundingly asinine. Look at any metric statistical metric you want, or look at the wins.

He makes great decisions really quickly now. Almost every incompletion he threw against us last week was not a catchable ball for anyone on the field, when nobody is open he just chucks it into their feet and lives to fight the next play. Total antithesis to what we're seeing with Love this year trying to make too much happen, Goff is locked in and seeing the game like a coach right now EDIT: LMFAO

The Goffather gonna make you a deal you can't refuse. He is beloved in Detroit and beyond. The rest of the players and coaches all believed in him from the begining and he is still getting better.
I've been telling my friends that Goff is a great QB because he wins presnap and for whatever reason they can't comprehend the point I'm trying to make. This video breaks it down perfectly. I'll definitely share.
It seems that some people still have a problem realizing that Goff has turned into an elite QB this year. His stats (with the exception of completion percentage) aren't gaudy so people who don't watch the games have a hard time understanding just how good he's been. He's so efficient that he doesn't need to throw for 400 yards and 3 TDs to win games. The Lions offense as whole is absolutely lethal because of the Goff has been playing.
I hope I'm right. I got a feeling Ben Johnson would rather stay and create a dynasty before going to become a head coach on another team. Pay this man WHATEVER he wants!
That's possible, also he knows that whatever team he moves to is not going to be as good as the Lions, he'll have to build them up like Dan has, it will be a while before he can have as much fun as he's having with the Lions
@@Sheamu5That's what I'm thinking too. Goff is obviously a very good QB for what Johnson wants to do, the o-line is great and he's got all kinds of playmakers to scheme up ways to get the ball to. For an offensively minded coach the Lions are probably _the_ best team to be with right now.
Love that play you pointed out where Penei took out the outside man then used the momentum pushing off of him to block the second guy as well. Awesome overall breakdown
Here's the thing. The thinking is "Goff under pressure". He's fine under pressure as long as he gets the ball away. He's just not very good at avoiding sacks. But he doesn't throw many INTs under pressure, instead usually making the other team pay dearly for blitzing him.
Part of it has to do with the line. Blitz is the only way to get pressure against the Lions o-line. It doesn't seem like the blitz is working, but I don't know what else they're supposed to do
As a Lions fan, I loved Stafford. My least favorite thing though was his gunslinger mentality. I understand why though - he HAD to carry the team a lot and make some heroic type plays. But man do I LOVE watching Goff play. In addition to his comeback story I just love the way he plays. He knows when a defense has the play beat and almost every time, instead of forcing a bad play, or causing a receiver to take a bad hit, he just dirts the ball. Part of this is his field vision but a lot of it is confidence in the offense as a whole. There is pressure in a 2nd and 10 to get some yards to make 3rd down more convertible. But Goff has no problem burning the play because he's got 4 guys who can get 10 yards next play no problem.
Goff was never a bust, but he's certainly raised himself up into the elite level. I think Goff is another qb who teaches the lesson Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and even Joe Flacco and Jordan Love, to some extent: playing qb for an nfl team is really hard, and almost always takes years to master. I don't know if that will make teams more patient with young qbs, but surely it should make teams willing to give former "busts" a second chance, sspecially if they can do so on the cheap. Or qbs that were drafted by the Jets, Browns, or Panthers and been labeled "busts" anyway. And here's hoping Darnold gets to make some noise in the playoffs, and gets a fat contract with whatever team he lands with next year. He's clearly good enough to start, provided he's got some help with receivers, a running game, good offensive line, and/or defense. But every qb needs at least some of those things to excel.
AND he has such a powerful arm. Such a quick release for someone who throws so hard. I like this kid. So happy he's doing good after getting tossed aside by the Rams. Too bad the Rams suck. Would be nice if he could beat them in their playoff run
I was not a fan of the trade. especially after Stafford won the super bowl the first year after. Goff has more than proved himself. it's to the point now I don't think there's another qb in the league that can do what he's doing in Detroit
Funny thing about the trade is that even though the Rams got the SB win, that is all that Stafford done for LA. The success that Goff has brought to the Lions is beyond anything Stafford had been able to do in a decade on the team. A win tomorrow night will be the best starting record since 1953. A SB win and continued success for seasons after would make that trade a wash all in favor for Detroit.
Hmmm I know I only watched this yesterday, but this video is not aging well as of tonight’s game against the Texans. It’s only the 3rd quarter as of this writing.
I'm a neutral Commanders fan but have a lot of love for Goff and the Lions. The Commanders obviously aren't going to knock the Chiefs off at the Super Bowl (maybe in a year or two) so I'm hoping that the Lions can do it. America's Second Team?
It all starts with the Offensive line. From the Redskins Hogs to today’s Lions O-Lion. It starts there. They can push the D on runs , and, hold the line in the air game.
Just goes to show what happens when you play behind one of the best O-Lines in the game. they have given him the time he needs to remember that he was once a number 1 draft pick
8:49 - "...so he switch releases them and they're both able to throw good blocks down the field." Lions #14 apparently didn't read your script. Whifff. 😆
The true fact is that this is not the best Jared Goff has played in his career. In 2018 he was lights out, with an offense that scored 30+ points in almost every game. He was throwing down the field on ropes to his receivers game after game, but now is playing more reserved and taking what the other team is giving him and being good at protecting the ball. I don't think that Jamo has the personality traits to be the deep ball receiver Goff needs to combine the two playing styles to really dominate teams.
As a Detroiter I feel it's my duty to remind the league: not only is Ben Johnson a chronic puppy kicker, but he was also the last one seen with Epstein alive.
He also said he hates every single state not named Michigan and said he would purposely tank any team he joins just to get a paycheck he's really a terrible guy and all other teams should forget about him
I know this is a joke but in all seriousness he very easily could have left last year. Same with Aaron. But he came out and said there’s unfinished business and he couldn’t sleep after the nfc championship loss. Also heard him say he’s been with this team and helped build it up from a few years ago when we were still bottom of the barrel and didn’t seem like he really wanted to go do that for another team since anyone hiring a new coach is usually a bad team. Not very many good teams firing their coach lol so I don’t see him leaving unless we win the Super Bowl or if it still doesn’t happen in a few years maybe he’s done and looking to move into a bigger role. I just find it hilarious that bears fans think eberflus is going to get fired mid season and Ben is going to take over 😂
Since I'm reasonably-confident Johnson's gone after this season, I can only hope he somehow gets fired as head coach from somewhere, then comes back to Detroit as permanent OC. Which is sad, sure, but he's a hyper-elite OC, so like...I wanna keep him ._.
I think Johnson is going to be very selective with where he goes. The Bears having Caleb Williams for him to mold makes the job somewhat attractive but the team's front office is very mediocre and has been for a looooong time. Of the teams you mentioned I think he'd find the Eagles position most intriguing. Jaylen Hurts is a talented young QB Johnson can coach up and Howie Roseman is a very good GM. But who knows? Even if the Lions win the Super Bowl this year he might run it back just because he's got such a good thing going. It's not just Goff; it seems like every player in that offense is absolutely perfect for what he wants to do. Maybe he wants to ride this wave for awhile.
no, I don’t know about this because when I see the blitz coming, he obviously does not because he’s taken 10 yards sacks and a lot of times it’s a sack fumble. I didn’t forget about that 20 yard sack for the Cowboys and the on the first play of the game I watch every single game and I have to hold my breath because I don’t know if he can complete a pass further han 10 yards without it looking like it’s gonna be intercepted there’s a reason why there’s so many players that was returned for the Lions because of how good Matthew Stafford was, he can throw in the smallest window imaginable. Jared Goff does not have that you cannot win with him just throwing the ball. why do you think it’s a run heavy team compared to everybody else the strength is not with his arm
10 years from now it'll be so obvious to the world that the Lions flat-out won this trade, along with "Stafford finally winning a ring" being LA being gifted a ring with the most overrated starting QB of all time, legitimately gives Jay Cutler a run for his money in terms of worst multi-year starting QB in NFC North history.
Okay but how often is he *pressured* as opposed to just being blitzed? Most of these clips are just the Lions having fucking awesome protection from that offensive line. A ton of these look like what could be defined as ‘clean pockets’ and NFL QBs are really good from clean pockets.
In most games you’re right, he throws from clean pockets all day. But a couple games, especially the Vikings game he was pressured a lot and still threw the ball at an elite level. But I think your point stands, he’s not asked to play like that in a lot of games. But this season when he’s needed to he’s been able to step and and take care of it.
I know a lot of teams believe that for Goof the be effective he needs time in the pocket and everything has to be perfect for him. The lions coaching staff but in the case the Offensive Coordinator is a thinking strategic person and a student of the game and puts an exceptional amount of time into it. Not everyone is as strategic and thinking and strives for perfection as he and the other coaches do and that is what makes this team dangerous. They will fix their issues.
It's certainly a possibility but far from inevitable. The Super Bowl is obviously always compelling but Chiefs/Lions would be especially so. A team going for the first 3-peat against a team trying to end decades of futility? That would be awesome.
@@christopherauger4258 people will literally do anything to give Goff his flowers. Dude throws a perfect game this year and it barely gets any media attention. He’s broken multiple QB records and literally has the highest completion percentage out of all the quarterbacks. More TDs than incompletions over a multiple game stretch. And then these people will say “well he has a good team” as if any of the other MVP candidates like Lamar and Josh just don’t have a team and are doing it on their own. It’s hilarious. Oh well. People can keep hating. Lions love being the underdogs and play with a chip on their shoulder. Other teams will pay the price
No one said Goff isn’t good against the blitz. Goff isn’t good against pressure. If you can get after him with 4 and drop 7 into coverage, it’s gonna be a rough day. Just take a look at Von Miller highlights in the 2015 AFC Championship game

@@Sheamu5That's what I'm thinking too. Goff is obviously a very good QB for what Johnson wants to do, the o-line is great and he's got all kinds of playmakers to scheme up ways to get the ball to. For an offensively minded coach the Lions are probably _the_ best team to be with right now.
I got chills at the end of the video as a lions fan. Great job!
Goff is a top QB, but damn the linemen are amazing!
Almost like building up the trenches makes everything easier eh. Baffling how all GMs don't start with this approach
Love that play you pointed out where Penei took out the outside man then used the momentum pushing off of him to block the second guy as well. Awesome overall breakdown
1:46 to skip Prize Picks ad
As a Lions fan, I haven't seen Goff look uncomfortable in 3 years
This is a great analysis. Pointing out what the o line does is very educational. Those adjustments are great.
8:55 Diggs wanted nothing to do with that wall of mass
This is an awesome breakdown for some of the plays I’ve been seeing this year, Awesome
Thanks stafford for taking one for the team and allowing Detroit to come full circle.
Funny because in all these highlights of Goff getting “blitzed”, he still seems to always have a clean pocket. That o-line is insane.
Goff is the MVP this year. Dude is playing unbelievably
As big a Goff fan as I am, I still can say that Lamar is the hands down MVP. Goff being in the convo is nice though.
Another great video, Alex! I really enjoy your approach to analyzing football.
Thank you!
As a non-sports person yet, a loyal Lion's fan, I really appreciate this analysis!
The Texans after watching this video....
AIGHT BET!!
And then they still lost.
Here's the thing. The thinking is "Goff under pressure". He's fine under pressure as long as he gets the ball away. He's just not very good at avoiding sacks. But he doesn't throw many INTs under pressure, instead usually making the other team pay dearly for blitzing him.
Part of it has to do with the line. Blitz is the only way to get pressure against the Lions o-line.
It doesn't seem like the blitz is working, but I don't know what else they're supposed to do
Great analysis. It reminds me Happy Gilmore. "Goff learned to play while pressured. Uh oh..."
As a Lions fan, I loved Stafford. My least favorite thing though was his gunslinger mentality.
I understand why though - he HAD to carry the team a lot and make some heroic type plays.
But man do I LOVE watching Goff play. In addition to his comeback story I just love the way he plays. He knows when a defense has the play beat and almost every time, instead of forcing a bad play, or causing a receiver to take a bad hit, he just dirts the ball. Part of this is his field vision but a lot of it is confidence in the offense as a whole.
There is pressure in a 2nd and 10 to get some yards to make 3rd down more convertible. But Goff has no problem burning the play because he's got 4 guys who can get 10 yards next play no problem.
Goff was never a bust, but he's certainly raised himself up into the elite level. I think Goff is another qb who teaches the lesson Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and even Joe Flacco and Jordan Love, to some extent: playing qb for an nfl team is really hard, and almost always takes years to master. I don't know if that will make teams more patient with young qbs, but surely it should make teams willing to give former "busts" a second chance, sspecially if they can do so on the cheap. Or qbs that were drafted by the Jets, Browns, or Panthers and been labeled "busts" anyway. And here's hoping Darnold gets to make some noise in the playoffs, and gets a fat contract with whatever team he lands with next year. He's clearly good enough to start, provided he's got some help with receivers, a running game, good offensive line, and/or defense. But every qb needs at least some of those things to excel.
watching this after jared threw 5 picks 😂
and still won 🤣🤣
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
AND he has such a powerful arm. Such a quick release for someone who throws so hard. I like this kid. So happy he's doing good after getting tossed aside by the Rams. Too bad the Rams suck. Would be nice if he could beat them in their playoff run
He looks like he's done it all before. Hopefully the lions have found their guy to go the distance. Great vid as always.
I was not a fan of the trade. especially after Stafford won the super bowl the first year after. Goff has more than proved himself. it's to the point now I don't think there's another qb in the league that can do what he's doing in Detroit
Funny thing about the trade is that even though the Rams got the SB win, that is all that Stafford done for LA. The success that Goff has brought to the Lions is beyond anything Stafford had been able to do in a decade on the team. A win tomorrow night will be the best starting record since 1953. A SB win and continued success for seasons after would make that trade a wash all in favor for Detroit.
From LA, keep BALLIN Goff! 🫡
This team honestly reminds me of the Colts teams with Manning and Wayne
Brady mentioned that as well.
Check out goffs back foot. If he steps down once. 7 - 10 yards
If he steps twice. It's 20 or in the house.
Hmmm I know I only watched this yesterday, but this video is not aging well as of tonight’s game against the Texans. It’s only the 3rd quarter as of this writing.
I'm a neutral Commanders fan but have a lot of love for Goff and the Lions. The Commanders obviously aren't going to knock the Chiefs off at the Super Bowl (maybe in a year or two) so I'm hoping that the Lions can do it. America's Second Team?
Great analysis!
Halfway through the Texans game… what happened?
Hmm
It all starts with the Offensive line. From the Redskins Hogs to today’s Lions O-Lion. It starts there. They can push the D on runs , and, hold the line in the air game.
0:01 taking a moment to appreciate detroits jerseys and helmets 🤩
Just goes to show what happens when you play behind one of the best O-Lines in the game. they have given him the time he needs to remember that he was once a number 1 draft pick
8:49 - "...so he switch releases them and they're both able to throw good blocks down the field."
Lions #14 apparently didn't read your script. Whifff. 😆
The offensive line is *ridiculous* . And point is, like...what else are you going to do? Cover the pass OH WAIT WE'RE GOING TO RUN IT **** YOU BRO
many of the blitzes on playaction are run blitzes, they aren't made for qb pressure
The true fact is that this is not the best Jared Goff has played in his career. In 2018 he was lights out, with an offense that scored 30+ points in almost every game. He was throwing down the field on ropes to his receivers game after game, but now is playing more reserved and taking what the other team is giving him and being good at protecting the ball. I don't think that Jamo has the personality traits to be the deep ball receiver Goff needs to combine the two playing styles to really dominate teams.
The best line in football!
Teams have to blitz due to the success of our online and Goff and our backfield going crazy if the defense sits back
Because most of the time the Lions oline recognizes the blitz pre snap and picks it up.
Or he sees it and adjusts his protection accordingly. Him and ragnow see it all
@joshlewis575 I'm sure it's a little bit of both.
As a Detroiter I feel it's my duty to remind the league: not only is Ben Johnson a chronic puppy kicker, but he was also the last one seen with Epstein alive.
He also said he hates every single state not named Michigan and said he would purposely tank any team he joins just to get a paycheck he's really a terrible guy and all other teams should forget about him
As a Jag's fan he could literally be apart of the n*zi party and the KKK and I wouldn't care
love it❤
I know this is a joke but in all seriousness he very easily could have left last year. Same with Aaron. But he came out and said there’s unfinished business and he couldn’t sleep after the nfc championship loss. Also heard him say he’s been with this team and helped build it up from a few years ago when we were still bottom of the barrel and didn’t seem like he really wanted to go do that for another team since anyone hiring a new coach is usually a bad team. Not very many good teams firing their coach lol so I don’t see him leaving unless we win the Super Bowl or if it still doesn’t happen in a few years maybe he’s done and looking to move into a bigger role. I just find it hilarious that bears fans think eberflus is going to get fired mid season and Ben is going to take over 😂
I've heard he's Holocaust denier too.
Since I'm reasonably-confident Johnson's gone after this season, I can only hope he somehow gets fired as head coach from somewhere, then comes back to Detroit as permanent OC. Which is sad, sure, but he's a hyper-elite OC, so like...I wanna keep him ._.
This lions comeback is one for the books
Goff will crush the blitz with screen passes and quick slants with St Brown.
Man, I hope Ben Johnson goes to the Bears... But there are so many teams he could go to: Bengals, Eagles, Jags & more
I think Johnson is going to be very selective with where he goes. The Bears having Caleb Williams for him to mold makes the job somewhat attractive but the team's front office is very mediocre and has been for a looooong time. Of the teams you mentioned I think he'd find the Eagles position most intriguing. Jaylen Hurts is a talented young QB Johnson can coach up and Howie Roseman is a very good GM.
But who knows? Even if the Lions win the Super Bowl this year he might run it back just because he's got such a good thing going. It's not just Goff; it seems like every player in that offense is absolutely perfect for what he wants to do. Maybe he wants to ride this wave for awhile.
Allen Robinson is a beast.
3:05 It's just Sonic Dude, not Sonic the Hedgehog.
Why are you talking so slowly?
no, I don’t know about this because when I see the blitz coming, he obviously does not because he’s taken 10 yards sacks and a lot of times it’s a sack fumble. I didn’t forget about that 20 yard sack for the Cowboys and the on the first play of the game I watch every single game and I have to hold my breath because I don’t know if he can complete a pass further han 10 yards without it looking like it’s gonna be intercepted there’s a reason why there’s so many players that was returned for the Lions because of how good Matthew Stafford was, he can throw in the smallest window imaginable. Jared Goff does not have that you cannot win with him just throwing the ball. why do you think it’s a run heavy team compared to everybody else the strength is not with his arm
10 years from now it'll be so obvious to the world that the Lions flat-out won this trade, along with "Stafford finally winning a ring" being LA being gifted a ring with the most overrated starting QB of all time, legitimately gives Jay Cutler a run for his money in terms of worst multi-year starting QB in NFC North history.
Attention to detail for the (literal) win.
No one beats Goff.
Considering Nico Collins is on IR, I'm gonna say that bet doesn't hit
Bro said "KHALIL Raymond"...... the disrespect. FIX IT OR WE RIOT!!
Ah shit 😂
Okay but how often is he *pressured* as opposed to just being blitzed? Most of these clips are just the Lions having fucking awesome protection from that offensive line.
A ton of these look like what could be defined as ‘clean pockets’ and NFL QBs are really good from clean pockets.
Well the pass rushers have to get near him to be able to pressure him. If that's not happening then there's little to no pressure.
In most games you’re right, he throws from clean pockets all day. But a couple games, especially the Vikings game he was pressured a lot and still threw the ball at an elite level.
But I think your point stands, he’s not asked to play like that in a lot of games. But this season when he’s needed to he’s been able to step and and take care of it.
Damn 1000 views in 1 hour? Fell off
Please allow us to skip the gambling ads.
Who u think should be da Bears HC next year ?
penei sewell is so damn good
Blitzing Jared Goff is actually hurting you more than not blitzing him lol he exposed the Vikings doing that it’s not working
that play at 2:04 is so sick
The only way they will shut up about his flaws will be the day he wins the big one
Detroit rebuilt Goff and he is eating teams up
It's all scheme and the talent around him.
Don't share our secrets 😂
yall love glazing 😂 lets see what he do in the playoffs
It's Khalif Raymond. Not khalil
He probably got him mixed up with Khalil Dorsey. I'm a Lions fan and even I occasionally make that mistake.
I know a lot of teams believe that for Goof the be effective he needs time in the pocket and everything has to be perfect for him. The lions coaching staff but in the case the Offensive Coordinator is a thinking strategic person and a student of the game and puts an exceptional amount of time into it. Not everyone is as strategic and thinking and strives for perfection as he and the other coaches do and that is what makes this team dangerous. They will fix their issues.
Fuck, I love this team
nico gets great odds on that gambling site cause hes still on ir lol
Keep blitzing him 😂 those blitzers end up doing nothing and leave men wide open downfield.
Yeah, good luck with that...
Why do all of your post titles (have to) have parentheses?!?
Vikings defense
Goff is playing ELITE ball vs the Texans atm. 5 picks......lmao.
who won?
Goff's MVP chances are now zero lol
The 3-peat is inevitable
The evil empire thought they were inevitable
@@TejaLorenkalol let’s see what the lions can to do that would be a nice super bowl let’s hope it happens
It's certainly a possibility but far from inevitable. The Super Bowl is obviously always compelling but Chiefs/Lions would be especially so. A team going for the first 3-peat against a team trying to end decades of futility? That would be awesome.
So against the blitz he’s been great. But when pressured without the blitz, his numbers are still pretty bad
Source of the numbers? He's barely throwing an incompletion and not turning the ball over. Logic dictates he's been pretty good against any scenario.
@@christopherauger4258 people will literally do anything to give Goff his flowers. Dude throws a perfect game this year and it barely gets any media attention. He’s broken multiple QB records and literally has the highest completion percentage out of all the quarterbacks. More TDs than incompletions over a multiple game stretch. And then these people will say “well he has a good team” as if any of the other MVP candidates like Lamar and Josh just don’t have a team and are doing it on their own. It’s hilarious. Oh well. People can keep hating. Lions love being the underdogs and play with a chip on their shoulder. Other teams will pay the price
Ewwww gamba
Bro there is no one anywhere near him on a single one of the reps you show. Goff is not elite vs the blitz, the lions o line is
Are you blind?
We need Ben Johnson in Dallas next year to fix our offense
I was thinking the same thing
Jerry is never going to give Johnson roster control, nor does he have much incentive to go there.
“If you can’t beat them, join them.” (Or make them join you)
No way, he already turned down HC jobs last year because they weren't the right fit in his mind. No chance he goes to Jerry World
lmao BJ will never work for Jerry Jones, I can promise you that.
No one said Goff isn’t good against the blitz. Goff isn’t good against pressure. If you can get after him with 4 and drop 7 into coverage, it’s gonna be a rough day.
Just take a look at Von Miller highlights in the 2015 AFC Championship game
you citing a 10 yr playoff game as your proof who he was isn’t who he is now
If you can consistently get pressure rushing 4, you have a top-3 defense
wow it’s almost like the best defenses play in the playoffs 🙄
