Detroit is so very close to having it all together. They managed to win all of their games since Hutch went down with an insanely depleted edge roster. The defense has been playing out of their minds over the stretch since and hopefully Z will push them over the hill they need to truly start shutting their opponents down. As for Houston, it was a pleasant surprise to hear his name called given hes been kind of invisible so far this year. If he can step his game up a bit more then the defense will be all the better for it.
God I hope so. If he's able to find that bend again and be a consistent threat on passing downs, that'd be a massive boost for us. Carry this thing deep into the playoffs and pie in the sky hopes of Hutch making a triumphant return. Hutch, Z, Josh, Houston, Levi and the DT rotation...man if only we'd have ponied up a '25 6th for Calais we could actually be playing from depth at the D line come January.
Lions moving him outside creates a much better chance for him to bend around those tackles and keep them from grabbing him. When he is inside his ability is neutralized. He is a great QB spy, cause of his quickness and speed. He easily handled Stroud, who is no slouch as a runner.
@@jxjarvi yeah if they move him inside it's pretty much gonna have to be on the drop 7 or drop 8 kinda scheme they did on that play he had early in the game where he got Stroud on the 3rd down
@@jxjarvi Well as we all know that has hampered him getting on the field, him not doing well on coverage and setting the edge. Now he looked way better back in coverage which will help him as well as rushing from the edge as he almost got a sack from there. I’m not sure about him setting the edge but he could be a guy to see the field on 2nd/ 3rd and longs because his bend looked pretty good although Houston completely sucks at protecting their QB. So we will see if it was progress or just playing against a poor Oline.
Thanks for an emphasis on Houston. I’ve been watching closely and hoping he comes back. He will. You never know how broken bones affect each individual differently. Glad he’s getting a chance!
I’ve been waiting for some James Houston all 22. My theory is the ankle injury killed his bend around the edge by stiffening his ankle. Dorsiflexion is so hard to regain after injury, and he had a freaky range to begin with. May have also taken away some explosion from his first step. He is certainly capable of speed to power, and if he can learn a slick inside speed move we may see the new and improved James Houston V.
Thank you for this, he showed up once in a while in this game. Maybe he is getting that confidence back in his ankle and maybe this is just the beginning. If he can do something in 15-20 snaps like this, he can be exactly what they need. Everybody thinks of Z as that EDGE rusher, but he rushes from the 3 Tech a lot also so you still want someone like Houston in this kind of role.
The last game for Houston was very promising. I was so happy for him as well when he got that sack. Then I saw old school Houston on the one snap where he shot out of a cannon and bent under the tackle for a clean win. Very very promising.
Thank you for recognizing his contribution. I also eagerly await his return to his former glory in Detroit. Looks like AG also sees his potential in pass rush plays. We need you now James- GITTY-UP!
I just want to say the way this young man has been treated,and hated by some fans and people who cover the Lions is a disgrace. He suffered a terrible injury last season, it takes a player more time to recover mentally than the physical. He is probably just starting to trust his ankle again. It takes time to get back to pre- injury form. Some people place unrealistic expectations on players, when they don't meet those expectations they turn on them ,call them names, want them cut from the roster etc. Injuries are a reality in sports. Time has to be given to a player to work their way back.
I can see where this is accurate. I don't pay attention to the media for the most part, just don't have time. But it seems to reflect what I have seen on social media at times
I mentioned to my GF the patience he showed and how large of a problem it was over the past 4 months. It seemed natural for him too. His brain was off, balling on instincts
Coach, great video! Love me some James Houston; great to see him coming back! Suggestion: do a study of the 5 interceptions (your observations and thought) AND what kind of mental fortitude it takes to put ALL those behind you and focus on finishing the win.
12:58 the only thing ive aeen close to that olineman strip was in 2000 wheb i was in high school and we had a hog offense in (all olinemen in skill positions) cuz we were winning 60-0, as we often did, and our 300 lb qb was getting sacked and yelled to our 3rd string offensive guard "hinkley! Catch" and tried tossing him a pitch 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage as he was going down lmfao. One of my favorite football memories ever lol.
I totally agree with everything you said, I am totally optimistic about his possibilities. Keep writing about him. I picked him and Onzwurike to be breakout guys this year. Shared the link.
The best videos are when u do it on the subject u love. Great break down because his injuries turn me off of him a while back. Glad to see he still a great contributor on so lil amount out snaps.
I'm glad he picked up his play this week. It's been 13 months since breaking his ankle and a few games since being cleared to play actually playing. I won't expect Hutch to be back or start to get back to his production until next December too. Leg injuries are rough, especially when you need them to bend and twist and spin to get to your target.
The more reps he get, the more better he gets. That's with anyone. He's definitely going to have more confidence and he's going to have two sacks the next game!
I hope so. Got his jersey when he was activated the first time(its my prodile picture). Been pulling for him from the get go. Has to get back to basics and rush hard.
วันที่ผ่านมา
It looked like the Houston of two years ago. If he can just be that role player it could be a great weapon for AG.
I think Houston probably benefitted a bit from Smith on the sidelines offering tips (I love that dude more and more every day). I really want Houston to succeed and hope this is a sign of things to come. Any pass rush we get at this point is fantastic and thought he played extremely well in that game.
Jared Goff said in his press interview he does not feel like he had a bad game and was making all of his reads. I feel like many of us were shocked to hear him say that because it looked like one of his worst games. Would you be up to analyzing Goffs game against the Texans in a video? Thanks for all you do love your videos.
As soon as I saw that stroud play, it instantly reminded me of the fields one. I hope that takes him back to that run. He's been a huge disappointment this year outside of Sunday.
I really think that ankle has affected him this year...he doesn't seem like he is trusting his speed to get around the teams lineman..he is engaging were as he wld try to just speed rush b4..idk I think he will continually play better as season continues..I hope anyways
Using him as a QB spy is a great idea in my opinion. OLB position with mobile QBs. He has the speed and agility to do that. I don't like him in coverage but put him on the edge and fake a rush to flush the QB and break off.
I thought of you as soon as homie got a sack. To answer your question of if this video is something worth doing? Yes. I’d watch you do a breakdown of our water boys my guy.
Wait a second, isn't that a hold on Tunsil that stopped Houston from crushing Stroud on the near-sack that went to Paschal? After Houston has beaten Laremy, Tunsil reaches back behind his field of view with his left hand and snatches and yanks a quick, strong handful of James' jersey. Looks like it's on his lower left side/abdomen area, and if you watch his jersey and his change of gait, pretty sure that Tunsil affected him enough to change his speed and angle... (I'm not crazy, right? At 12:57 and as the end-zone angle loops, Laremy clearly holds him with his left hand right before he's entirely out of the play... Right? He is so beaten he is still facing almost the opposite direction, loll That's cheating, my guy!)
The people whining for Houston to be traded are missing the obvious opportunity of having him on this team. Especially against these humongous left tackles, he creates havoc. He needs to be let out of the doghouse and let him do what he does. #freejameshouston
15:50 or so for me watching that non call that wr lost his balance on his own and Arnold had to make the play for the ball that’s why it was a no call even with anzalone redirected the pass attempt. Now about Houston and his development which is partly the reason for your vlog post the flaws and skills are all in these few plays. First let’s be clear he is position-less player “athlete” he not a true DE or LB. In AG scheme 41 has to learn both responsibilities cause he isn’t a 3 down player so on the different subs and calls determines what he doing effects his game but you can see he picking up better to your point has healed from injury however you noted his hands everywhere which could’ve been a flag and to my point he still not under control in those premier situations where he knows pin my ears back and get to it and just misses. He definitely will improve with more reps which he is lacking I think Brad and Dan are giving ample opportunity for him to get better since he will be bunched in with the next re-ups to be passed out all factors in how this team will be contenders for years and not just one
Little bit of heat. How does the guy seem so gassed playing 10 to 15 plays a game? You'd think he was burning things up out there with how spent he seems?! I watched the 8 sacks. I was sold on him being the real deal. That just didn't play out.
I think you're overlooking the fact that everyone now knows that Houston can only win on an outside speed rush. He's not big enough to bullrush to the inside. So one play you called a "missed opportunity", I believe it's extremely likely Texans game planned that when James Houston was in the game, that would be the plan. Stroud should expect to step up, and the tackle should take Houston wide. You show one play where he bull rushes, but it works only because he commits a hands to the face penalty. I would love it if the James Houston story would've continued, but he's just too small to be able to push around 325 pound offensive lineman. He's a one trick pony, and it's hard for me to say that. And we've already discovered the other problem, which is smaller players in the trenches get injured more often. Wow I would love to be wrong.
The initial stab with his hands isn't to the face. He's already won before the hand slides to just outside the LT's chin/facemask. So you mischaracterized it for whatever reason. It's interesting to me. Multiple Pass Rush guys are out. Certain people will watch Lions DE's do nothing for a month, or more. Then, here's a guy who had an impact after not playing a role much for over a year? Let's go ahead and minimize it even though he's got wins against Laremy Tunsil on film. Got it. Makes sense.
@@all_22_films hey I hope you're right! Didn't appear to me he was passed him and headed for the quarterback when he put his hand in his face mask, but I would love it if James Houston returned to rookie form.

I hope his ankle is fully healed, if we get anything close to his 22' production down the stretch we'll take it.
It was really nice to see houston look fluid again and playing fast. Im so happy for him.
I was so happy to see Houston play well he almost looked like his break-out year.
Detroit is so very close to having it all together. They managed to win all of their games since Hutch went down with an insanely depleted edge roster.

It’s good to see he’s coming on at the right time. If we can get even half of the production we got in 2022, that would be huge

It would be huge for Houston to add pressure/sacks from the edge. This film study gives fans hope. Thanks.
Thanks for the work you put on and great content. I look forward to your posts every week. One Pride!
The last game for Houston was very promising. I was so happy for him as well when he got that sack. Then I saw old school Houston on the one snap where he shot out of a cannon and bent under the tackle for a clean win. Very very promising.
I can’t imagine how good the lions defense would be if hutch, Barnes, Davenport, etc were healthy.
As always, great content. Can't to see the next one.
always enjoy these
Appreciate the analysis and in-depth coverage. Like you , I’m a fan of James Houston IV. I thought he played his best game so far this year.
Thank you for recognizing his contribution.
I also eagerly await his return to his former glory in Detroit.
Looks like AG also sees his potential in pass rush plays.
We need you now James- GITTY-UP!

You are 💯 right. I've said all along that James Houston is a weapon and Brad doesn't trade weapons
7:14 yup i was shouting and jumping when i saw that play. As u said, it was so reminiscent of the fields play 2 years ago.
I mentioned to my GF the patience he showed and how large of a problem it was over the past 4 months. It seemed natural for him too. His brain was off, balling on instincts

I am pumped for all of the All22 videos this week. What a crazy game.
I swear to God it looks like his own linemen stripped him lmao I would love to know how that conversation between him and Stroud went
He’s definitely on the rise. Keep grindin’ James.
I think he will. Za’Darius I believe will help Coach him up. We can’t forget how he was healthy
Finally a video which must mean he’s been getting back to himself!
I totally agree with everything you said, I am totally optimistic about his possibilities. Keep writing about him. I picked him and Onzwurike to be breakout guys this year. Shared the link.

We need houston to step up and help smith now! idk what happened with houston he got injured last year but looked good his rookie year
I found this very informative and encouraging.
Great film study. One of my favorite players too.
I think smith will help James tbh he can mentor him
That facts
The more reps he get, the more better he gets. That's with anyone. He's definitely going to have more confidence and he's going to have two sacks the next game!
I do agree this was his best game half of those reps you knew he was out there. Every other game we have played you don’t even see him.
I was very happy to see Houston have a good game. It looks like he is finally trending in the right direction
He bared down like a lion on CJ in that drop back contain sack
James Houston is a weapon and y'all thought Brad would trade a weapon? Not in this lifetime
That's facts ,people are so silly.
I’m hopeful for H3 just like you coach. Thank you for the video.
4:10 When this play happened, I was yelling at my screen that was the worst stunt I've ever seen. There had to be a missed assignment somewhere...
Agree completely about Houston.
keep them coming
I hope so. Got his jersey when he was activated the first time(its my prodile picture). Been pulling for him from the get go. Has to get back to basics and rush hard.
It looked like the Houston of two years ago. If he can just be that role player it could be a great weapon for AG.
I said the same shit when he sacked him it look very familiar maybe because mobile qbs kills us
He gonna get more reps more sacks especially against mobile qbs in the playoffs.
I enjoyed this video, I think it was good call even though he only played 16 snaps. I think he looked good
I think Houston probably benefitted a bit from Smith on the sidelines offering tips (I love that dude more and more every day). I really want Houston to succeed and hope this is a sign of things to come. Any pass rush we get at this point is fantastic and thought he played extremely well in that game.

MCDC is the man to play for when low on confidence.
15:36 100% agree with you, the refs in the booth need to go
Maybe he just needs to get his confidence back?
❤
Oh yea thanks coach
His best game yet
