Message to the next guy hired to redevelope Jared Goff,
Run the goddam ball!!!!
Same thing goes for Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson
People have praised Dan, Brad and Sheila for years. Let's continue to have faith in them.
Maybe he passed so much because Powell was RB1.
DC wouldn't bring him in unless he knew what Campbell wants for an offense. He'll be fine
I remember him when he played with barry. Sanders Scott Mitchell, Herman Moore and. Germaine, Crowell. I remember those 90 teams. Their offense was Scott. Mitchell was really, really good. I hope it brings it here. Cause it'll be a lot of fun.
He was a detroit lion for like eight years And those teams were exciting to watch. Barry Herman Germaine.e Scott Johnny.
What offencive show they put on?tt. This could be very, very entertaining.
Excellent hire. That 2022-2023 offense was $$, without money players like Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jamo (and Montgomery & Zeitler). Jamaal Williams led the NFL in TDs, Brock Wright and the Lions TEs finished 2nd in TDs, and Goff got the Lions past .500 needing to score about 30 a night to win. The 2023 and 2024 offenses did not look as sharp and explosive as those units despite having far more explosive weapons. I think this was the right move.
Dan Campbell sure sounded like he wanted to be a bigger voice on offence, maybe he thinks he will have a synergy with Morton.
It's funny, just slightly over a year ago, the heavyweights were going through the all time wide receivers for the Lions. They didn't even know who Johnny Morton was. "Is that some guy from the 50s?"
That's when I realized I was just watching kids, and I knew more than they did.
Anybody can be a sports podcaster, but not everybody can be a good one.
This guy ran the ball 46% in 2017 with 8 games above 100 yards and 3 of those games were approaching or above 200 yards rushing. I think information from damn near 10 years ago is suspect but the numbers also don't really bear out.
John Morton is walking into a dream job. If he can't make this offence at least top 5-7 next season, he'll never become an OC ever again lol.
Brian Branch was ejected from the Green Bay game for illegal hit. Commanders hit QB Geoff and the play is overlooked and dismissed.
Because Goff was a defender and could be blocked. Why is this so hard for some of you?
@@thomaswatkins3686blocked? Yes. Contact to the head? No. Should have been flagged. But there was a make-up call later in the game and Washington would have scored anyway with the way the defense was playing.
That's such a loser take to keep blaming the refs. Same old Lions fan
I think Dan will have a lot to say about what we do. We are a run first team and that won't change
The jets couldn't move the ball, they had nothing but shit on offense and detroit is loaded, especially so upfront. I doubt he's going to come to lions and not run the damn ball. Also dan campbell knows Morton and if you think campbell isn't the kind of leader that would have had an honest dialog of what he expects this offense look like then you're seriously underestimating dan Campbell's best quality 😂
To look like
Exaxctly. So because he was bad 7 years ago with a shit team hes going to do the same thing. Amazing
He’s from Michigan too, so naturally you would think he is a Lions fan from the get.
@greatwhite3676 Well, he's pretty well liked by sean Payton, John gruden, and Dan campbell, so good ahead and take his one year stint with a terrible team and use that as your main judgment against him. Not to mention he literally helped us create a lot of the playback we run, but I'm sure you have a better judgement than all of the above names
In MCDC we trust, it'll be just fine
My only worries is if this guy was such a great OC they would have hired him before. Ben
Ben was a ball boy before he got promoted. They took a shot and it worked.
4or 5 years ago lol
Will he be a dropoff from Ben? Yes. But I am of the mindset that is about Jimmy's and Joe's more than X's and O's. People saying they want a pass rusher, or defense with the first round pick. To be honest, I think that is at a spot in the draft where a C would make more sense, to give us more depth in the middle where we need it. Hutch created a ton of pressure on 4 man rush. We should keep Z. Z's production dropped off because he was getting the Hutch treatment and getting doubled and chipped. I think opposite Hutch, we would see the kind of production he had for Cleveland in the first half of last season.
need a Young edge rusher jack sawyer or maybe some random stud that we havent heard about
He's the one that Ben learned the offense the lions run.
Maybe the idea is not that the run game will fade away but to bring in someone that can improve the passing game to make the offense that much more dangerous.
The identity is run and play action off it goff throws alot we lose look at all his losses . we scores 20 throwing over and over against tampabay . also i might add 33 points a game averge is allready the best in the league
Some would say Ben Johnson was key to all the success the Lions has had ...and those folks are called Bears fans
I trust Dan but idk about this hire I liked the Shepp promotion but Dan did say he’s gonna be more hands on the offense this year. But I don’t think I like this hire. Will see, I think if buddy isn’t creative the players gonna be pissed cuz say what we want about Ben now but he was extremely creative and the players loved that.
not every coach wins with trick plays just need a good scheme and honnestly are players and cambell remember those plays
schemes
In positions like coaching and coordinating an NFL team, failures on your resume are good because they're learning experiences if you can show you learn from them
I think this guy has more experience now and hopefully learned from his mistakes.
Usually OC will get with the offense see what the guys like to run and what they are willing run and what they are willing to give a try, at least that’s what good OC do.
To sorta echo the point about young, creative play callers, idk how people weren’t calling mcdc for the job. All the talent should have offensive minds drooling.
You’re quoting an article from 5 years ago! Dan Campbell is a HUGE advocate of the run. Do you all think that he is that stupid to bring in a coach that will derail their quest for a Super Bowl? You have such little faith in him to think he’ll just hire one of his boys over the greater good of the team? I knew people in this town were fickle but my God I can’t believe how many people have 2:07 turned on this guy already. Let’s not forget that Ben Johnson was a nobody and Dan Campbell saw something in him. You guys have such little faith in the players and the culture and EVERYTHING that has been built and you want to throw it all away? Good. Please find other teams to root for. Please find other hobbies to indulge in on fall Sundays. I trust Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes and am all in on the Lions next season. One Pride! Go Lions!!!
Fraley will handle the run game. He will handle the pass game
This stuff is from 7 years ago 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah, a lot can change in one year. Let alone 7.
7 years ago was the last time this guy was a full-on OC.
@@TheMrBmurray ...ok, and?
Don't you think Campbell will have a heavy influence over what Morton calls? I think so.
We cant judge him based off 7 years ago. People grow. And on top of that its the JETS 😂 aaron glenn will see 😂😂
He's the one that brought the offense Ben ran.
As long as he understands that we run the ball first we'll do play action passing off but I'm cool. It's not really too interested in watching a team that is going up against a bad rush defense for the second year in the row in the playoffs and neglecting the running game.
Tanner is ready
Imagine using a 2018 jets team to bring a case there was nothing he could’ve called with that team
You don’t give all the facts. In fairness to John Morton who were his running backs in New York and he didnt throw the ball and all of those three downs. The quarterback did. This sounds more like a John Morton bashing session without even getting the chance.
If Campbell decided to go this way then I am behind him.
I love our run game as much as the next guy, but it looked to me like we needed the pass game to open up the run, most weeks. When you look at our offence, it’s obvious that the pass is going to be a large part of it. Maybe it’s a simple as DC is the “run minded” element, and likes a “pass minded” OC to complement. Also maybe having an OC that is content with position will be more effective than an OC with HC aspirations who is focused on padding his resume
Why do ppl think he’s going to pass so much because he did with a shit jets team.. lmao
Lotta overreaction prior to actually researching the guy
I think Hank should have been our OC
Maybe he didn't want to be🤷♀️
DyNasty Bginz 🦁⚒️💙
an OC who throws it on 3rd and short and ignoring the run. Exactly what we need
that was the great ben johnson that you guys all worshipped. Dan is saying that he is going to be involved this time no more wonder boys
3,000 🏃4,000 🏈🦁⚒️💙
Jared Goff needs to learn to stretch the defense out to elevate his game and the Lions offense. This is the perfect OC for it.
Bogus Hire 10-7 Season incoming 🤬
Pete Carroll didn’t give the ball to Marshawn at the 1-yard line to win the Super Bowl. Everyone makes boneheaded decisions sometimes. Pete Carroll is still a good coach.
Maybe Dan hired him cuz he knew there was no chance of anyone else poaching him down the road. I thought everyone wanted to come to Detroit, this is the best we could do?
we also promoted kelvin shephard from within. um...our defense was ridiculously bad. if we went from the outside, i wanted it to be the defensive coordinator. we gave up 40+ pretty consistently.
Qe are 7th in ppg allowed and was #2 before almost every starter and back up went down.
@@problematic9890you get it but some of these folks are so short sighted!
The reason he was hired bc that season he was offensive coordinator for the Jets, a lot of starters had their career years with him. It’s a coaches job to put the player in the best position to succeed and that’s what he does… In Dan and Brad we trust like we should by now.
Who did you want as DC and OC?
I worry a bit cuz dans 1st choice for o.c had us losing and going nowhere fast. I know we have more talent now, but when he was finally let go for BEN, we went on a run of dominance that continued until this last unfortunate loss and poaching of all our coaches. Hopefully, we will win it all next year, but if it's bad, I'd rather know the first few weeks next season
True, but Dan hadn’t fully instilled the new Detroit Lions “GRIT” team culture yet. That kinda thing takes some time to marinate.
And Dan promoted wonder boy johnson so what are you saying?
Where can I get that bass pro hat with #58 on it?
Guys, it's not a tough fix. "Run more". there you go.
JOHNNY MORTON WR FOR THE LIONS MONTE CLARK WAYNE FONTES CIGAR -GOFF DOES NOT HAVE THE STAFFORD FIGHT TOUGHNESS EVEN WHEN HAVING A BAD GAME,HERE COMES OLD 4TH QTR STAFFORD AND GETS IT DONE SEASON TICKET HOLDER 78-2020
Should be Scottie Montgomery or Hank.
he was just here two years ago
I just hope he leaves that gay ass scat heavy offense in Denver
Sonic Knuckles Shadow14 Miles9 WayMO can Fly 🦁⚒️💙
Is this the Best DC can do??? Morton sucks!!! Fuhhhhhhhh!!!
We need to sack the cquarterbac period , our offense is decent as is with whatever coach
I don’t like this smh
Just cause he coordinator don't mean he will call plays
Tanner Engstrand was the the move… idk about this one
The Super Bowl logo is mostly red, so yeah the chiefs will win
AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?

IS FRANK HALEY OUR CURRENT LINE COACH NOW!?
And was HE NOT OUR LINE COACH DURING THE THIRD & 1 EMPTY BACKFIELD
F U M B L E PASS PLAY VS WASHINGTON!?!?
Are we gonna be as fun to watch!! ??
No way
That was 7 yrs ago people evolve
That was 7 years ago
Morton is the author of our current offense. He created this creative offense for Ben. Do your homework. He's the friggin author. Hank Fraley has the run game sewed up with Scottie Montgomery. Here come all the smart dummies in the comments. Do you trust Dan? Do you? If you do, then shut up!
Skeptical of both signings but willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. They’ve earned that and what other choice do we have? 😂
Our fans are retarded. They act like wonder boy ben just appeared out of nowhere to bless us. It was Campbell's vision
Well it's either gonna work or not 🤔
Ngl big reach that firing was 7 whole years ago, again 7!!!!! Whole fucking years ago Ts don’t matter at all😂 people deserve second chances and I stand with Dan at all times.
Should have been hank or engstrand
The guy is a LEGEND!!!!! We could only be SO BLESSED if he decides that he's coming to the Lions. Have you read his bio and his lengthy credentials....This guy is off the charts! Here's a quote from Dan Campbell himself when he was with our team for that while in the beginning ...
"The biggest vote of confidence comes from Lions head coach Dan Campbell in October of 2023.
"John Morton, man, Johnny was - Johnny’s a superstar now and there’s a number of things that he did for us last year that are things that we’ve kept. And I really feel like that helped Tanner as well."
We're going to see soon enough when the Lions will make this official and how the offense will pan out under him. What we can say now is that this doesn't seem to be something that the Lions just did without thinking about it. Morton seems to be a part of why the Lions are the way they are today."
Also this guy has loads of talent and vision and his bio speaks for itself! Praying it's a done deal.... Dan and everybody is way ahead of the game and we needn't worry.
🤍💙🖤🙏🏻🖤💙🤍
Gibbs is top 3 and he aint 3? Ok, whos he better than? Henry or Barkley?
Lions are screwed
Settle move
I don’t understand this at all. Dude has bounced around the league for decades and hasn’t done much of anything. Makes no sense. What in the actual fuck is DC doing?
You forgot to mention with shit teams. We have a juggernaut offence.
WE MUST RUN THE BALL!!!
YES!!!
-
BUT IF YOU THINK GIBBS WILL LAST 17 GAMES RUNNING TTE BALL 20-25 TIMES A GAME
W I T H O U T
SERIOUS INJURY!?

YOUR BEYOND 🤪🤪🤪
These guys don't know what they're talking about do your research for yourself that's what I did he is top-notch at the running game..... these guys just want people on here clickbaiting
we also promoted kelvin shephard from within. um...our defense was ridiculously bad. if we went from the outside, i wanted it to be the defensive coordinator. we gave up 40+ pretty consistently.
Are u slow half of our defense was injured for half of the season..
@@DemonEdge82 not talking about injuries. talking about schemes. AG worst DC ive seen in a long time. and the reason we lost most games. not sold on kelvin.
@ not sold on any of our new coordinators to be honest.
@@DemonEdge82 100 100 100 percent. im disappointed. in everything. Ben wasnt as committed as we thought. Aaron glenn was an idiot. lets be honest. he got hyped cuz guys like amik would shut down jefferson. that wasnt AG and schemes. now...we promoted from within on a poorly coached defense. and Dan took advice from his friend sean payton. so who knows. i hope...hope...this post doesnt age well ha ha
@ yup
To be honest who else they were going to get if they didn't want to hire from within this guy inherited a great offense please don't hold them back ain't gonna im kind of concerned about this hire
Key thing what was said Bo Nix can use his legs Goff can't, and that's the Lions downfall. Goff's the leader of the team and still make rookie mistakes. Should have gave OC to Fraley or Engstrand.
This guy sucks
We suck again. Fun while it lasted I guess.
🙄 sol fan get a grip
All three years😂
Yo, there's the door and your Chief fan future awaits you. GTFO with tht SOL mentality.
watch the gay NBA then
The former OC from the Jets? I guess our reign as the top offense is over. The only thing that gives me solace is that Ben Johnson will bomb spectacularly with the Bears.
The good news is Brian Daboll should be fired by week 8 so we can bring him in next year as our OC
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
He’s bringing him in to solely work with Jared Goff.. I don’t believe he’ll be calling the plays..
So is the trick played over with
Guarantee DC has plenty of trick plays.
So we’re just lying in our video titles now?? This is the kind of Clickbait were getting to
Like somehow the guy is going to do the same thing he did 7 years ago. This whole OC thing is fake and gay. Campbell wants to run the ball thats what will happen
Still talking about Ben Johnson lol
I get it, when you were terrible for decades and made two hall of famers retire early…you get overly excited about two winning seasons. lol lions fans are cocky after losing for decades then having 2 winning seasons…calm down get a couple more winning seasons under your belt
The irony of you calling Lions fans cocky AND telling them how to be fans!? A level of arrogance that only someone who lacks self awareness could obtain. Why are you worried about how Lions fans support their team? Does it really bother you so much where you feel the burning desire to hang out on Detroit sports talk TH-cam channels and leave shitty comments. Pretty pathetic actually.
That sounds a lot like one of those Skoldier girls yapping to me.
The Bears suck too bud you were gifted 1 superbowl 50 years ago
@@goodvibesvince my life is great actually. You sound a bit on the feminine and emotional side. Are you the type to take your ball and run away when non neighborhood kids come to the park to play lol
@@TheAlienAbides aww your attempt at sarcasm is noted. Better luck next time
You have no choice but to trust him, we will see how your marginalized talent will do without Johnson. You all really think you are loaded lol. Let’s meet here next year
So Gibbs isn’t a top rb in the league without BJ? St.brown doesn’t have those hands? Monty won’t be steam rolling people and stacking up yards? Jamo won’t be cooking your boy with his speed? This is all possible because of Ben Johnson and 0% player ability? Not sure if you’ve ever watched an nfl game by your comments
Clown alert...NFL newbie by the looks of it.
Yeah. We loaded. That's a concensus opinion across the league.
Wanna tag my spot here for next year. DETROIT IS LOADED. Instead you should check in here next year when Chicago is 6-11 as they realize its dan and brad that built us up. Not benadick johnson
@@CDS1392 just meet back here next year. Let me know how it turns out for ya guys
I think they deal Goff in a trade in the draft! Hooker is further! Clowns!
LOL the further? So hes the future but wasnt the 2nd string QB in the playoffs? suuure
Lions are screwed
AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?
