Been watching NFL football for decades and never felt more in touch with what I'm watching on TV than I am now after watching an entire season of your film breakdown and concise analysis of what's happening on the field. This latest study might be your most informative and enjoyable yet. Another reasone for me to not be able to wait for next season to get under way.
2:56 Do you have an identity on “X”? Would love to follow… and promote. I’m frequently asked whose analysis I’m citing when I refer to your all_22 pov’s. Thx. 😊
Interesting stuff. Goff is underrated and quick on the draw...Crisp play and physical players. Too bad about the drops and the fumble in the Niners game. Next year should be a ride!
@joshlewis575 Careful Josh. Don't bet your mortgage money. That's why they play the games. I agree that if the new secondary meshes and plays as advertised, the Lion's have as good of a chance as anyone else to a SB win. But, they could have injuries to key players, maybe the secondary doesn't mesh, rookies play like rookies, Davis gets hurt, Robertson's too small. You never know, that's why they have to play the games.
Everyone talks about Goff's slow feet, but ignores his quick mind. When they gave out Wonderlic intelligence tests to draft prospects, an adequate QB score was in the 20s. Goff supposedly got a 36.
Dude!! I have never thought of scheming up plays with the running back to act like its your "duel threat " QB running the option ny him running on the same side he gets the ball!! Genius!! BTW I love watching your film breakdowns of the Lions.dont stop please!!
I think Detroit's commitment to the run is Dan Campbell. Remember in 21 when Campbell took over play calling Detroit immediately rushed for well over 200 yards. This is why I wasn't as concerned about losing BJ because Dan Campbell is an offensive guy too & he knows what he's doing.
I agree people call Dan a “CEO” coach whatever that means, which is derogatory towards what Dan has done unless you compare him to like Jeff Bezos because he’s a deep and critical thinker. He has that alpha mindset in a violent game but has that critical thinking to stay alive, he built this team and led this team to where it is now and has played this game before. And if I’m wrong, I’m pretty sure Dan Patricia brought in Ben Johnson.
The only concern i had about losing BJ was that he was going to take Hank Fraley with him - that I was concerned about - glad we don't need to worry about it . I think it was a wise choice - I think BJ still needs more experience - he is doing well but there are still plenty of areas that he needs to improve - especially halftime adjustments.
Yep, once Dan took over play calling, the offense flipped. That's when Goff went from looking pedestrian to the Goff we see today. And it wasn't gradual, it was like a switch was flipped. If I remember Dan didn't decide on giving up play calling duty until shortly before the season of BJs first year as OC.
Your videos are such a welcome change from the shouty-shows that are always pushing controversy. It's so nice to just sit down and listen to someone talk football.
Going to be a good rematch. Thank you for checking this one out. I appreciate it. What is the thoughts or opinions moving forward this year with the Offense/Interim HC?
Coach, can you imagine the absolute shock and unbridled joy that the Lion's fanbase experienced upon learning that BJ was not going away to run his first NFL team? OMG! As you've noted, Ben Johnson is a very special talent who has selflessly chosen to share his expertise with the entire league ONE MORE TIME. So as a fan of the game, and the team, I realize how damned lucky I am to witness this. And believe me, I will savor each game- over n over n over again. I've been a Lions fan about 60 years now, and this team and its unique talents n players reminds me of a few teams of long ago, but I don't remember any of them being as generous and good at doing what DC calls "the dirty work" of blocking for their teammates ALL THE TIME, AND EVERY TIME. BTW, you've made it obvious to every viewer that you truly appreciate the game, and your efforts and analysis honor this game, and IMO, the content you consistently release is admirable and enjoyable- to say the least.
Why would you want to leave a Superstar team and go someplace that does not have the pieces that you want. Makes sense to stay in Detroit for a long time 👍
I'm friggin into your vids bruh, ty. I appreciate that here you point out BJ is an original, a wildcard, a maverick. He's been thriving since & alongside DC .
Thank you for breaking down these play concepts for the Lions offense. They are really elaborate & shows how much you understand the game with within the game of football. It also depicts how brilliant of a play caller Ben Johnson is. I can’t wait for the 2024 season.
Thanks so much for this video. I love the idea of a lions playlist and love the length of this video. I really appreciate your "teacher" approach. I've learned so much about the modern game of football due to your content. Not just your Lions content, but also your Ravens coverage as well. Thanks for your hard work! I hope you realize your dream and can do this full-time 😊. One pride! Let's go Lions!
Awesome video one of your best. Thank you. My only suggestion is, stop apologizing! Stop saying, you might be wrong! Everybody's wrong sometimes. Who cares. Stop wasting viewers time talking that crap. You're really good at what you do. Just go for it. No apologies no time wasted saying maybe this is wrong. My two cents. You're awesome.
Great videos! You have mentioned needing content ideas, here are some in no particular order: Lions FA needs Lions draft needs Lions run game Lions pass game Lions 3rd down Lions red zone Lions specials Lions by personnel Lions blitz packages Lions d line stunts Why the Lions seem to have at least one big stinker under Dan campbell but then rally (21: Bengals, 22: Patriots, 23: Ravens) Post FA and Draft where those players will help the Lions I love your work, and football knowledge please keep it up!
Amazing work you do. I appreciate the insight and learning from you. When watching the games live, you don't see everything that actually goes into a play. Seeing the breakdown is pretty cool.
I like nerding out on the intricacies of the game using Lion's content. Don't apologize. I'm subscribed because I like what you're doing. There are a lot of talk sites, but most aren't really analyzing film. And I love the different views, especially the all 22. Wish with the streaming now that you could switch camera views when watching.
I have been waiting for Game Theory Optimal (GTO) play calling strategy to make its way into sports. It's been used in poker for a while now. I can't be sure that's what Ben Johnson is doing, but it's fun to watch.
@@all_22_films Fans prefer simple either/or explanations in everything. I'll use other examples to illustrate how we conflate titles with what a person does. First, the Eagles. Sirianni is like Bowles. He sends his team onto the field & says "may the best roster win." No trick plays, no straying from this core concept. I noticed this in '22 when they almost lost to _those_ Cardinals because Murray was mounting a comeback & he changed nothing & almost allowed it to happen. Now what did he do last season while everyone else could see both the OC & DC failing? Nothing. Dan Campbell fired his d-line coach for failing to communicate properly. Sirianni watched his entire team burn & just kept watching it. People want the title "HC" to mean the same thing in all cases though. Another example would be how whenever Matt Eberflus is busy elsewhere & Luke Getsy gets to have more control over the play-calling, the Bears' offense improves several-fold. So what happens in cases like this where the HC thinks he's better than his play-callers or micro-manages? See, we Don't Know What % On What Team is Andy Reid or his OC. People are uncomfortable not knowing so they try to say "it _IS 100% this or that"_ to cover for this discomfort. "Jordan Love proves sitting on the bench learning works." Well, he proceeded this year _after_ doing that about the same as C.J. Stroud did *without* that advantage. But most people feel the need for One Thing to stand clearly as what is *known to be* right. So when something isn't clearly so, they pretend that it is.
i think a big part of the story, too, is that he's not just playing against this week's defense. each week he's playing against all the defenses he's going to play against for the rest of the season. Sometimes a play will show up against one team, that he plans to use the identical formation against another team one or two weeks down the road, but the second time pass instead of run, or go a different way. That's playing the meta-game. Just brilliant stuff.
Another great breakdown coach. Would you say Ben Johnson's unique or his play concepts, Or both? lol 😆 I mean if he's using math skills to create his concepts. And if so, is that a new technique or do you think earlier OC's have tried something comparable to B.J.? And would you say B.J. concepts are rather stealthy or just unique? Anyways thanks again for your outstanding points of view. I have a better understanding every time I watch your content. Take care coach, best wishes to you and yours.🏆💪🏼. 👑 #LETS_GO_LIONS!💙🦁🏈
Imagine if Seattle OC had an agile coordinated enough mind to use DK as a backfield blocker on 3rd downs. With a leaky o line, he’s a great candidate to multi task ala St Brown. Noticed this tendency to use him in backfield and he seems effective wherever he’s working. Great football player ✌️
So now I’m into the minutiae of movement since watching your stuff. Someone in Comments mentioned you'd asked once for topic? I'm unsure what archive film is avail and if you like short vids... It would be great to see your analysis of the outcomes from any of these, using both Ravens & Lions: 1) successful 'chips' and such (abrupt contact), and how these have impacted timed plays. 2) earliest significant in-play changes by defense that occurred in 1st & 2nd downs 3) the crazy amount of data that must be taken in, processed, risk-managed, & executed by the QB & Center in fractions of seconds Thanks
In baseball, the toughest pitch for a batter is 2 balls, 2 strikes. You have to be aggressive and ready to swing, but the pitcher doesn't have to throw a strike. That's the Lions on 3rd down, because just making a few yards sets them up to go for it on 4th and short.
@@all_22_films Oh I am a quarter of they ways through and have conflicting feelings! Meaning this is so cool but also 'WTF Coach, don't give away Ben's secrets!' Knowing full well that NFL coaches will be doing this already. LOL
It’s simple. 1) the lions have the best O-line in the NFL. 2) The WR room does not want to let their team mates, especially the O-line, down. The saying in the room goes “No Block, No Rock”
🌐 🔥👑🔥 Dan Campbell, Aaron Glenn, and Ben Johnson are not going anywhere until all three have three Lions Superbowls under their belt. This is God the Father's defined expectation sealed for perfection by creation. Gentlemen, Bingo? 🙏🏻 🔥👽🍴🌐
Rather see Ben Johnson as the head coach than Campbell any day. We will lose Ben to another franchise where he will be the next great NFL coach soon. Campbells approach is a flashing red button and bulwark mentality.

This is definitely Dan Campbells offense at heart. Ever since lynn was canned they've been run heavy play action pass kinda team.

Really enjoyed this presentation. Shared it on Twitter to help out.🏈

Bears fan here. I loved the breakdown, and how creative Ben Johnson is with his concepts. Hope you guys win it all.
Going to be a good rematch. Thank you for checking this one out. I appreciate it. What is the thoughts or opinions moving forward this year with the Offense/Interim HC?
I learn so much every time watch your videos. Long form like this is great! It took me 3 watches to get through it but it was worth the time

Awesome as usual!
You teach me alot about ball. Dont stop doing what you are doing
Great opening comments Coach. I never understood the term "coaching tree" and agree it's a big nothing burger.
I just never understand the connection when there's film that illustrates what a coach utilizes.

I would be very interested in seeing your take on why the Lions’ offense kept coming out so flat in 3rd quarters for most of the season

Be honest bro you’re Lions #1 fan 🦁
Coach is partial to James Houston and along the way, continues to discover the other guys worthy of attention on this roster.
Can we give some love to Jonah Jackson at 6'4" 315lbs lead blocking on a sweep? That is some athleticism.
I really enjoy your videos! Your always apologizing for your lack of knowledge, but I think you underestimate yourself.
Well done~
I will be taking a couple of days to process this one. :) ❤

1 hour??? You spoil us
Every running back should give 3% of the contract they sign to Ben Johnson. He made the running back valuable again.
funny watching this 9 months later and seeing it in action today
I loved it and I hate long videos.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Very cool. I usually can't find time to watch longer videos either.
What do you think are the “jab” plays in this offense? For example, power to a wing T team.
Great question. I have two Run plays and at least one Pass play to label as foundational.
It’s not as easy pick up on them in the NFL as it is High School where you see them 15-20 times a game, sometimes more.
It’s simple. 1) the lions have the best O-line in the NFL. 2) The WR room does not want to let their team mates, especially the
O-line, down. The saying in the room goes “No Block, No Rock”
Just followed on X. Looking forward to more . Hit that LIKE button 👍
Doesn't every team use landmarks? Standard stuff as you mentioned you used at coaching high school
Of course. I think Goff and the Lions use their's, particularly in Zone 4, more often than most teams.
How was Baltimore so successful stopping this offense? I.E. what was their answer to the “Big Johnson” offense?

This video needs the 76 yard TD run by monty @ LAC
Where is Williams at on this grid.
Agreed
St. Brown is a clone of Hines Ward
Have you ever thought other teams watch your stuff to game plan for the Lions? 🧐
If i was an opposing coach i would use these vids to scheme against the Lions!
