Head Coach Dan Campbell sprach am Montagnachmittag über das Sunday Night Spiel gegen die Los Angeles Rams das die Detroit Lions in der Verlängerung mit 26:20 gewonnen hatten. Damit starteten sie mit 1-0 in die Saison.
Hier sind die wichtigsten Fragen aus Campbells Pressekonferenz am Montag:
Wer hat Campbell nach der Analyse des Spiels besonders beeindruckt?
Punter Jack Fox ist erste Name, den Campbell für seine Leistung im gesamten Spiel nannte, insbesondere für einen späten Punt, der die Rams tief in ihrer eigenen Hälfte festsetzte und den Lions eine Chance auf ein Comeback eröffnete. Auch Khalil Dorsey als Special Teams Gunner wurde hervorgehoben. Dass Campbell diese beiden Spieler zuerst erwähnte, zeigt, wie sehr er den Special Teams Wert beimisst.
"David Montgomery hat das Spiel auf seine Schultern genommen und es fast im Alleingang entschieden. Das war beeindruckend. Er ist ein echter Leader, wie ich schon gestern Abend gesagt habe", meinte Campbell
Er erwähnte auch Wide Receiver Jameson Williams' der 121 Receiving-Yards und einen Touchdown erzielte. Campbell betonte, dass man in Zukunft sogar noch mehr von ihm erwartet.
"In der Defensive war Alex Anzalone überall auf dem Feld präsent. Ich fand, dass auch Aidan Hutchinson und Marcus Davenport am Spielfeldrand den ganzen Tag über eine echte Macht waren.
"Kerby Joseph hat ein gutes Spiel gemacht. Der große Moment war seine Interception kurz vor der Halbzeit, aber auch insgesamt war seine Leistung ziemlich solide."
Wie bewertet Campbell die Leistung seiner neu formierten Secondary?
Rams-Quarterback Matthew Stafford brachte 34 seiner 49 Pässe für 317 Yards an, warf einen Touchdown und eine Interception. Insgesamt spielten die Rams jedoch 74 Plays und erzielten nur 20 Punkte.
"Wir haben noch viel Luft nach oben, aber es gab Dinge, auf die ich in der Defensive stolz bin", sagte Campbell. "Es war gut zu sehen, wie Carlton Davis III auf dem Platz stand, besonders sein wichtiger Stopp bei einem vierten Versuch an der Sideline. Er hat sich auch im Laufspiel durchgesetzt. War es sein bestes Spiel? Nein, aber er hat viele gute Dinge gezeigt."
Campbell lobte auch den Rookie Terrion Arnold, für den der Moment nicht zu groß war, was eine der wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus dem Live-Spiel und der späteren Analyse war.
"Er hat noch viel zu verbessern, aber es war sehr vielversprechend", sagte Campbell. "Er hat sich gut gezeigt, und wird sich konstant weiterentwickeln. Das war schön zu sehen."
Brian Branch verteidigte drei Pässe und hatte einen Tackle for Loss. Campbell berichtete, dass Branch nach dem Spiel zu ihm kam und meinte, er werde die verpassten Tackles im nächsten Spiel nicht wiederholen.
"Insgesamt geht es jetzt darum, einige Kommunikationsprobleme zu beheben, aber ich fand, dass unsere Defensive Backs eine vielversprechende Leistung gezeigt haben", so Campbell.
Gibt es eine Erklärung für die vielen Ausrutscher und Standschwierigkeiten auf dem Ford Field Spielfeld?
Davis hatte einige Ausrutscher, die zu großen Plays führten, und sowohl Amon-Ra St. Brown als auch Jahmyr Gibbs hatten ebenfalls Probleme mit dem Stand. Campbell erklärte, dass der Rasen nicht verändert worden sei und derselbe wie im letzten Jahr sei. Er vermutete, dass die Spieler sich einfach wieder an das Spielen auf Kunstrasen gewöhnen müssten.
Wie können die Lions St. Brown in Zukunft stärker einbinden?
Die Rams hatten einen guten Plan, um St. Brown mit viel Deckung in Schach zu halten – das ist etwas, womit sich die Top-Receiver der Liga auseinandersetzen müssen. St. Brown wurde sechs Mal angespielt und beendete das Spiel mit drei Fängen für nur 13 Yards.
"Ja, wir haben es versucht. Wir haben ihn oft angespielt, aber es schien einfach eines dieser Spiele zu sein, bei dem entweder die Deckung alles abdeckte oder etwas Unvorhergesehenes passierte, wie bei der Inside-Slant, wo er ins Stolpern geriet", sagte Campbell. "Es war einfach eines dieser Spiele."
Campbell betonte, dass St. Brown immer jemand sei, den er im Blick hat und das werde auch so bleiben. Die Lions wollen ihn definitiv öfter ins Spiel einbinden, denn er ist ein wichtiger Motor der Offensive.

Ist DJ Reader auf Kurs, sein Lions-Debüt am Sonntag gegen Tampa Bay zu geben?
Der Plan war immer, dass Reader in Woche 2 spielen würde, nachdem er die gesamte Offseason und das Training Camp wegen einer Quad-Verletzung verpasst hatte.
"Ja, ich denke, der Plan war, wenn DJ letzte Woche nicht spielen kann oder wir uns nicht sicher sind, dann war Tampa immer das Ziel. Vorausgesetzt, es gibt keine Rückschläge, wollen wir ihn diese Woche aufs Feld bringen. Er sah im Training gut aus", sagte Campbell.
