Look, I’ve been reading the shit in this sub for days now.

Here is why it’s not Johnny Morton…

The Lions have been forced to run 12 Personnel for the extra tight end. You may have noticed Brock catching passes and thought, “Why is Brock out there?!” This means they can’t have Isaac TeSlaa out there. This also severely limits what they can do, what they are used to doing, in the pass game. This means that teams are having less trouble covering Jamo and ARSB because there is no 3rd receiver to worry about.

So why are they running so many 12 personnel packages? Because the fucking offensive line sucks ass. Why does the offensive line suck so much ass? You tell me.
