The Kelvin Sheppard thread...

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Congrats to Kelvin!  I honestly didn't know he was the Lions DC.  Glad to see him doing so well.  He was destined to be the guy in the Jerry Hughes trade but he has made an impressive transition into a coaching career.

If Lions keep playing at this high level he will be sure to get some HC interviews.

 

THIS IS NOT AN ANTI-McDERMOTT THREAD.  

 

Just honest praise for a guy that has some remote ties to the Bills

Agreed was very happy for him.  Does this mean Indy won the trade?

He called a helluva game yesterday.  Lamar also showed his worts vs the blitz.  It’s as if he forgot that teams were allowed to bring more than 4 rushers.

[Yobogoya!]

It probably helps a little bit that the Lions have some serious talent on that side of the ball- but it was fun watching his defense get after Lamar last night for sure. 

 

Worth noting that they're currently bottom-10 in points allowed. Be interesting to see how they progress throughout the year.

It wasn't just the blitz.  Did anyone else notice whenever Lamar stepped up in the pocket to run, there was almost always a spy there to slow him down. And in the process of Lamar starting to juke the spy, the D-Linemen that were already well out of the play, had time to run back and tackle Lamar from behind.  Often times Lamar didn't know they were coming so he's lucky not to have fumbled a couple times.  This was just a great scheme to slow Jackson and great effort by the Lions D-linemen.

[Coach Tuesday]

He was always a cerebral player, albeit an ineffective one.  Not dissimilar to Terrell Bernard in that the Bills were hoping he'd outperform his athletic testing due to his instincts and leadership (team captain at LSU etc.).  Just didn't happen in the NFL but not surprised he's a good coach now.  As I said in another thread I'd expect Bernard to be a coaching candidate someday.

Good for him.  Heard his name last night and was happy he has risen to a prominent job.

I’ve gotta watch again but it seemed like the delayed contain-style blitzes were getting to him.  He thought he had a lane to escape through and a second level defender would seal it quick.

seemed like he was beating the more traditional blitzes pretty easily

Their linebackers looked great yesterday for sure. 

 

Meeting Henry in the hole, standing him up, flying to the ball... it was definitely impressive to watch Campbell and Anzalone yesterday
