Out of all of the football analysis channels, yours stands out. Very deep knowledge of the game, but more important you're able to break it down and explain it better than anyone else.
@@jujijime Haha yeah that would have been hilarious. But I'm pretty sure he was supposed to get down anyways to burn the clock because it was at the end of the game with little time left.
Such an informative video with these play breakdowns. I do not have that type of understanding of the game, but now I can get a clearer picture as to why the Lions have an amazing offense. With that said I hope he doesn't get poached! I've been praying for the Lions to actually have a solid offense for so long. 1 season isn't enough!
Please, I know you’re not a lion fan but I really enjoy your content and I look forward to following you all season long. I hope you continue to break down Ben Johnson’s genius offense, but he’s only being able to do it in my opinion because our office of line is significantly underrated but I love the way you break it down and show us how diabolical he really is and how he’s fooling the defense play after play
Great analysis by the way. No one is talking about this, but if the Lions pick up O'Cyrus Torrence in the 1st Round of the Draft, we could have the best offensive line in the NFL for the next 3 to 4 years. He is the one player in the draft that will make the most immediate impact. He is the perfect fit.
This is a stellar breakdown of how Ben uses every player at their maximum. Great job! I played semi-pro football until I was 42. We could have used a few more brains like yours on our coaching staff. Haha
You could call anything and he could run it. But what really makes him special is those option routes - Johnson trusts him to read the coverage and then pick the correct route to beat it. Next level stuff.
Goff makes up for a lack of deep throw ability by being able to quickly read and go to 2nd and 3rd options on the plays. He may be one of the best in the league at that skill. It adds one more dimension that makes these play calls work. You can call great plays, but they have to have the people who can get it done. The Lions are skilled, make no mistakes about that.
“bynum needs to switch this, allowing someone else to pick up chark” he says as absolutely nobody picks up Chark on screen on what probably would’ve been a TD if he didn’t 😭
I don’t believe owners base their head coaching positions solely on a coaches ability to be a phenomenal play caller, and have one year of experience. This is why I’m confident Ben Johnson will not get poached this off season.
Have you seen the decisions some of these owners make? I hope for his and the Lions sake that he stays - but man if your faith is in NFL owners to make good decisions I've got some magic beans you can buy.
What I'm seeing is Goff looking to one side and then turning and throwing to the other side, which is maybe even better than the good old pump-fake which you hardly see ANYBODY do anymore, unfortunately. You have to feint!
Goff has been much more clinical at getting through his reads and it's a credit to him for improving there and the coaching staff for facilitating the environment for him to do so (protection, play design, route progression) There was a whole 3rd section about Goffs improvements and him going through his reads - but it got cut for time. Still not perfect, but a fantastic improvement from his younger years
Campbell can promote him to assistant HC and give Duce a different title cuz nobody will be calling to get permission to hire Duce .. I'm under the impression that this staff in on a mission to stay together as a whole until they make history in Detroit.... next season will be a different story of who will be head coaching prospects for the NFL.
Shiela has to get check book out, give both coordinators a sweet 3 year deal and yes make ben johnson assistant head coach...after 3 years and 2 superbowls our coordinators can ask their price...not sure why Ben johnson would want to leave with only one year of experience, "a nice 3 year contract" for all kinds of head coach pressure...also find it hard to believe a team would make him head coach with only one year of coordinator experience...but after making history in Detroit...for sure !
@@Eidenhoek That would be Kool... If he's interested in coaching? They do have him in the organization as a advisor.. so, if he continues to maintain that position and if they do happen to get a SB win in the next three years.. then Barry and Spielman get a ring.
As a former football player I thoroughly enjoyed this. So clean, clear and well produced. Voice and background music on point. Detailed enough for a knowledgeable football junkie to enjoy and basic enough for a complete rookie to understand. Liked and subscribed on the spot. Keep up the top notch work.
Update: Johnson is staying! 01/18/23.. via Cowhurd. Love the breakdown! They were lethal.. I wonder what offensive pieces they look for in the draft and free agency.. would love it if they can get Jamaal back.. he’s a hammer on the field and a great leader.. they need another stud o-lineman-guard.. but I think they’ll seek immediate contributors on defense first… but the way Holmes and his team have been drafting.. I have, for the first time in my life as a lions fan, 100% confidence. They’ve built a great foundation where players want to play… not retire early or demand trades from.
I hope The Lions don’t lose Ben Johnson. It’s only his 1st season as a coordinator he might want to get some more experience before he takes a Head Coaching position
According to the most plugged in people in local Detroit sports media who do have connections with Allen Park Ben Johnson isn't going anywhere after this year. He will take interviews for preparation/experience but will stay on to learn what it is to be a head coach under Dan the way Sean Payton groomed Dan in New Orleans. It should be kept in mind that this is Ben Johnson's first year as a coordinator. The culture and coaching system in Detroit was built by Dan with the idea of attracting the brightest minds in football by being a machine that teaches and prepares them for future success elsewhere as either position to coordinator or coordinator to head coach.
@@brandonmilam7343 agreed it’s one thing for Ben Johnson to say that but when a owner sits you down and offers you the Head coaching Job of any franchise and you’re getting paid the big bucks it’s hard to turn down an opportunity like that because you may not get another chance
Only you and Brett Kollmann have this level of detail for their videos and film breakdowns, its so awesome seeing these formations in slowmo and then seeing them on Sundays during a game! It’s like understanding words to a language you’ve been learning
Mr. Ben Johnson, please stay w/ THE LIONS. Whatever other are TEAMS OFFERING to pay you as a OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR , winning multiple SUPER BOWLS w / THE LIONS you won't have go anywhere.
Fans wonder why Jamo isn’t playing that much. Ben J has different types of an offensive that’s just one reason why he’s not playing that much. But he will.
I love how easy to understand all these play design. Being able to break down these plays that an average viewing can understand and learn the content is amazing!
How did Swift not get that first down is right, jeez. I remember that looked bad on TV and it looks way worse from the birds eye. He dances away free yards often. It's rather frustrating and I don't really remember him doing that in college
The rumors all season was that after he got injured, he was scared of running the way they utilized Jamaal and the other RBs on the team, which was detrimental to our run plays
Other than Penei Sewell and jumbo packages that sure look like Dan Campbells influence Jared Goff is running the Rams offense he learned under McVay. Great insight, thanks
2:20 That's the play they ran against the Jets on 4th and inches! I just realized that! Edit: This is why you watch the ENTIRE VIDEO before commenting. Still super cool. I love film.
I’m trying to get to know footballs tactics more so I’m not just understanding the rules and stuff. I want to know why wr’s lineup like they do and how dbs adjust, and ect. Your channel does it the best and its because you don’t just throw words at me. You break it down and the markers you out helps even more. I love and appreciate the small details you add to your videos. Keep it up bro🙏🏾
Good Morning, and thank you so much for your work. If you don't mind me asking a question about your process, I'd love to learn from it a little as a coach. I feel its never been more important to use technology and availible resources than now. I'd love to be able to easily overlay the graphics onto nfl videos (possibly gifs if I'm feeling a little ambitious) but not just the classic stills and slideshow. Our hudl platform has the functionality for our own film, so I was just hoping you'd share how you do yours please!
Best coordinator in The League, O or D side. So crucial he decided to stay on as our OC. We gotta strike while the iron's got and we got him calling plays, cause he easily could've been a HC this coming year. And he's probably gonna be a great one, so it's a fleeting, tight window we'll have him on Campbell's staff. Not looking forward to tryin to replace him. That'll be a sad day.
I am 38 my bro just turned 40 I’ve watched him be a die hard lions fan growing up next door to the rams/angels stadium since childhood. He loved Barry! I’ve watched this dude hate sundays his entire life!!!! I can not help but love what this team is doing! Go lions!! Man this is a great team! They will finally be the one!!!!!!
I'm sorry but like Brian Daboll this man needs to be hired as a head coach or at least given a head coach salary. He's a master mind on that level I can't imagine Lamar with this guy
As a lifelong Packers fan, I feel like my kneecaps were bitten off this season, and next season is going to feature the Lions absolutely beating the shit out of the NFC. Playing the Lions felt like the football equivalent of trying to fight Wolverine.
5:18 i really like whats said here (considering what happened in January) as it describes what they did and why lions fans arent mad at it unlike 95% of the league
3:55 Swift doesn't get the first down because too often he tries to get cute with his plays instead of taking the yardage. Sometimes it works out and others it just makes him look bad.
The Lion# has all of the ingredients to go to the Super Bowl next year. I am nervous about the Ford family who are the owners doing something stupid by trading or letting a free agent go in order too save them money

Comments like this make the long hours worth it - Very Appreciated!
I just started watching some videos from this channel and this channel and Brett Kollman are both incredible at what they do- awesome stuff
Add a clear, concise voice.
Definitely a step above the rest
93k followers is a joke this guy should have 1M+
I’m still crying at #44 trying to swing at the ball after the Sewell catch and Sewell just lookin like a disappointed father swiping him away 😂😂
makes me chuckle every time
I wish Sewell would have kept his balance and ran toward the sideline waiting for that shrimp to try hit him.. probably like tackling a brick wall.
@@jujijime Haha yeah that would have been hilarious. But I'm pretty sure he was supposed to get down anyways to burn the clock because it was at the end of the game with little time left.
That Segway into the ad read was smooth as butter
The play to beat NY last week was a thing of beauty.
Such an informative video with these play breakdowns. I do not have that type of understanding of the game, but now I can get a clearer picture as to why the Lions have an amazing offense. With that said I hope he doesn't get poached! I've been praying for the Lions to actually have a solid offense for so long. 1 season isn't enough!
Love how they take a lot of simple concepts but have so many layers to build on with the playcalling. Great to watch and learn from.

Wow gotta be one of my favorite film episodes ive ever seen. This was so fun to watch thanks man
I cant believe we were able to keep him for next year
This is a stellar breakdown of how Ben uses every player at their maximum. Great job!
I played semi-pro football until I was 42. We could have used a few more brains like yours on our coaching staff. Haha
Fantastic breakdown my man!
I stay looking for your next post. These obviously take so much time but I wish there was more
A true scholar of the game. :)
St Brown's route tree is very underrated.
You could call anything and he could run it.
But what really makes him special is those option routes - Johnson trusts him to read the coverage and then pick the correct route to beat it. Next level stuff.
Goff makes up for a lack of deep throw ability by being able to quickly read and go to 2nd and 3rd options on the plays. He may be one of the best in the league at that skill.

Great video. Thanks so much. This is what makes football the greatest….chess level strategy. Appreciate the detailed analysis.
“bynum needs to switch this, allowing someone else to pick up chark” he says as absolutely nobody picks up Chark on screen on what probably would’ve been a TD if he didn’t 😭
The Paper Lion… no more ❤👍💪🎄
Chiefs fan. Week one could be a high scoring close game
This was so good
Texans, Broncos, cardinals, Chargers, buccaneers, Panthers, saints, Colts,
Yeah he's definitely getting a job this year.
Great video. What service do you use to annotate on the film?
My Panthers play the Lions in a few minutes, and I’m not looking forward to it. Some of our fanbase wants Ben as the next head coach. We’ll see…
Colts better get on this guy hard
the Detroit football lions
I don’t believe owners base their head coaching positions solely on a coaches ability to be a phenomenal play caller, and have one year of experience. This is why I’m confident Ben Johnson will not get poached this off season.
Have you seen the decisions some of these owners make? I hope for his and the Lions sake that he stays - but man if your faith is in NFL owners to make good decisions I've got some magic beans you can buy.
I've done the research, here's every HC in the NFL and how much NFL-level coordinator experience they have:
Kingsbury - 0
A. Smith - 2
Harbaugh - 0
McDermott - 6
Wilks - 2
Eberflus - 4
Z. Taylor - 1
Stefanski - 1.5
McCarthy - 6
Hackett - 8
MCDC - 0
LaFleur - 2
L. Smith - 4
Saturday - 0
Pederson - 3
Reid - 0
McDaniels - 14
Staley - 1
McVay - 3
McDaniel - 1
KOC - 3
Belichick - 9
Allen - 8
Daboll - 8
Saleh - 4
Sirianni - 3
Tomlin - 1
Shanahan - 9
Carroll - 5
Bowles - 5.5
Vrabel - 1
Rivera - 6
Historically, it hasn't really meant anything to teams.
@text.-3492 get this scam out of here!
Hope the Texans can get him

I truly hope Detroit can find a way to get Ben to stay at least one more season.

Breaking news Be. Johnson staying in Detroit this is HUUUGGGEEE!!!!
Best film study on TH-cam. Great style and explanation. I could probably coach my little league team this concept now
Stop talking about this guy we need to keep his name lowkey the city can’t lose him just yet.
Subbed.
Wow the play at 11:15 is a thing of beauty. I guarantee we see that play from every team next year.
I let out a noise and was very glad no one was around when I first saw that play on film

Perhaps the single best football analysis channel on TH-cam. Glad I found this channel. Fantastic videos. Merry Christmas.
Ben Exotic the Lion king.
Our lions gotta make Ben Johnson the highest payed oc
Thanks for the videos man these videos are the best keep doing a great job.
I hope The Lions don’t lose Ben Johnson. It’s only his 1st season as a coordinator he might want to get some more experience before he takes a Head Coaching position
just posted the same, totally agree.

If Carolina offers him no way he turns down going home to be HC

“The Detroit Football Lions” gotta be the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard, but I fuxx with it 😂
Sameee, I was trying to wrap my brain around it since I just woke up 😂😂😂
I'm pretty happy the algorithm suggested this channel. Subbed.
So basically, why Penei Sewell is awesome.
Crazy how the bengals had options between him and chase it was a win win situation
@@dominiclowe3640 Yep
MAN I'm so bummed the Lions didn't make the playoffs. They would have played the 9ers and that would have been studied for a long time, I think.
this channel and Brett Kollman are absolutely top tier and make me, a simpleton, understand football better.
Calling a fake punt on 4th & 10 at your 25 yard line is my kinda football!
Mr. Ben Johnson, please stay w/ THE LIONS. Whatever other are TEAMS OFFERING to pay you as a OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR , winning multiple SUPER BOWLS w / THE LIONS you won't have go anywhere.
STOP TALKING ABOUT BEN JOHNSON. Can't have sh*t in Detroit
I love how Seule slapped at the DB
Can you please explain to me why my raiders have disappointed me this season?
I’m so glad Ben Johnson is staying in Detroit for at least another year. This offense is fun to watch.
I dont even watch football, this is just good analysis and you have a nice voice, good stuff
That ARSB screen you detailed with Sewell getting out there to block-infuego my friend, infuego
Ayo stop giving out their secrets 😂
I’m trying to see my team in the playoffs!
Every time I watch a Thinking Football video I'm sad because of all the years I WASN'T watching Thinking Football videos!
Praying there’s some way mcdc can convince Ben Johnson to give us one more year!!!
You don’t even hear romo break it down like this. Mad props.
Why did you say Detriot Football Lions instead of the Detriot Lions? LOL
That was a tough throw and a great catch. And Goff has been throwing across his body. Ben J does stuff that shouldn’t work.
Fans wonder why Jamo isn’t playing that much. Ben J has different types of an offensive that’s just one reason why he’s not playing that much. But he will.
Awesome job brother for explaining this. Thanks.
This is by far the best break down I’ve seen all season. This channel is fantastic
Can somebody tag Matt Patricia in this post plz?
In a game mostly about offense, the lions look fun.
I would like to see diagnosis of bad teams and what defenses are doing against bad teams.
Your insights and intelligence are enjoyable. Kindest thanks.
You’re actually the only TH-camr thats videos are actually interesting. Thanks for that makes my day whenever I see u post

At least somebody is shoutout the lions
My favorite football channel on TH-cam
damn looks like he ain’t all that 😭😭
I’m salivating imagining the Seahawks hire Ben Johnson and JSN is utilized similar to Amon Ra, great analysis

I’ve watched this dude hate sundays his entire life!!!! I can not help but love what this team is doing! Go lions!! Man this is a great team! They will finally be the one!!!!!!
This why so many ppl upset about Kyle pitts production HOW ARE U NOT GETTING HIM THR BALL ⁉️
I'm sorry but like Brian Daboll this man needs to be hired as a head coach or at least given a head coach salary. He's a master mind on that level I can't imagine Lamar with this guy
Excellent breakdown. Sewell could be the NFLs version of an NBA stretch 4.
Yo. I'ma go checkout hellodreah cuz we need to keep this channel going! Get this man paid!
As a lifelong Packers fan, I feel like my kneecaps were bitten off this season, and next season is going to feature the Lions absolutely beating the shit out of the NFC. Playing the Lions felt like the football equivalent of trying to fight Wolverine.

Great video, thoroughly enjoy this content. Liked and subbed💯
Great analysis: I love the monicker of The Lion King
Steelers need an offensive mind like johnson ...matt canada aint cutting the mustard
The way Goff scans the field...its as if its all 1 motion and as soon as he gets to the open wr boom the balls out immediately.
I watch a ton of football related content and this video is impressive. Great work
Pennel Swell as a reciever? Was this before or after they traded away Hockenson?
