Bye Week Recap

With a week 10 bye the Lions sit at 7-2 with the best record with Coach Dough through 9 games. With the offense clicking and newly added Captain to the defensive side of the ball Demani Richardson everything seems to be in place as the Lions try and push to be consecutive NFC North Champs.

Offense

Tua Tagavoila has shown great improvement from last year with his ability to read defenses better and make better throws. With the trade from last year to acquire Tua, the Lions believe that this was the trade to keep the team running and a year later it seems to be paying off.

With Rashod Batemon getting shipped off the Lions believed that they could still make it work with the receivers that they had with Jamal Agnew reachung a career high in 10 tds through 9 games and Kenny Golladay with 14 tds. 
As for Kerryon Johnson he will look to make his return within the coming weeks after being sidelined for 6 weeks. The Lions believe with getting Kerryon back their offense will flow even better.

Defense

Is there anyone like Demani Richardson in the SFL? The Lions believe they have gotten the steal of the draft with Richardsons play through 9 games with 11 tfl's, 3 sacks and 11 ints. Even as a rookie the leadership that he has shown through only half a year is the reason Coach Dough had made Richardson a captain. Coach Dough said, "I love the way Demani plays football with heart and a motor like none else. A player who is able to play in the box at only 215 and make the plays he does comes to show the film study and preparation he takes to become a better player."
Jeff Okudah coming into his 3rd year and reaching an X factor, he has been playing tremendously with his keen eye for the ball and not giving up big plays. With only 3 int to his name this year so far, Qbs have learned to just not test his side.
