Rams Vs. Lions [WEEK 1] [2nd - Qtr] highlights | NFL Season Today

they were all knocking on his door and he decided to keep the door closed and stay here in Michigan and it had nothing to do with anybody else he said when he left the field in San Francisco he knew he had unfinished business in Detroit and he wanted to learn how to overcome something like what they faced in the championship game and bring this team back together he thinks that they're sitting on a very very exciting opportunity and he doesn't want to miss it we into the drive Jameson Williams on the edge trying to get away from a couple of would be tacklers John Johnson says enough with that safety knocks him down limited gain here towards the end of this first quarter but if the lions are going to be what they hope to be Jameson Williams going to have to be a big part of it that's Stafford jayen from the sideline don't let them draw you offside if they come to the line Lions won't even do that they're just going to head over to the sideline before third and two great week one it has been so far third and two for the Lions and Jared gof who's protected throws inside incomplete trying to get it to amanra St Brown it's Fourth and short and this is Detroit nobody goes for fourth down since Dan Campbell's been here as often as the Lions and they're going to keep with their profile keeping the offense on the field no surprise to anyone and I don't think I think maybe Dan's making a statement yeah didn't go so well in the championship game we missed a couple of them but we're not changing you see the analytic data they'll run it inside while G just put his head down using the lineman Towers through and gets the first down inside the 25 yd line and isn't it interesting how they went about it instead of doing some trick pass whatever it is let's just get behind our big offensive line and run over somebody I think that's what the Detroit Lions want to be they want to establish that as their identity Bobby Brown the nose tackle for arrive there fake to St Brown gof throws wide open it's a tight end Sam leaport good move in the open field leaport to the 10yd line first down for the second year man second round pick out of Iowa where else so here's where the motion comes com into play there's a return motion here and it creates a pick on the back end so a lot of times we talk about the Rams and what they do with their motion that time the Lions threw it right back at the Rams and able to come up with a big play I was giving the league so many good tight ends leapa came in at a record setting rookie season with 86 grabs first and goal touching the 10 Goff play action throws it out to St Brown made a man miss Alan Ross safe Brown to the six driven back on a good tackle by Troy reer not only does he come over and chip on the edge on the other side to make sure his quarterback's protected then he's going to leak out on the outside make somebody Miss and take a shot himself this has been a violent hitting game so far inside the 25 yd Line pass [Applause] again second and goal Montgomery good job on the Edge by Michael Hoy the linebacker and big linebacker too at 270 lbs out there he wasn't going to let him get by yeah he was over 300 lb at one point when he came in the league but of course they take Jared verse in the first round this year first first rounder they had in a long time and everybody said well Michael hoy maybe not get to play quite as much but he certainly has been out there thus far in this one and it's a mix and match with this defense lorta lone receiver bottom of the screen G looked that way scan through back of the enone Leora couldn't bring it [Applause] down davius white was back there you see the intention the Rams gave lorta in the end zone Jared GF hanging back in the pocket but this has been some start so far for travius white who knew what he was going to be able to do coming off that Achilles injury right there in perfect position forcing that throw high and away and leads to the field goal attempt first one for Jake Bates those his preseason numbers open eyes kicking in the UFL in this building with the Michigan Panthers in Spring league and he knocks in his first career field goal four block radius this is those bouncing kicks to hits in the Target zone so has to be returned and the Rams bring it out attacking these two new tackles that are playing for the Rams in this one Stafford protecting his guys 13pl drive mostly through the air last time this one starts at the 22 be nula on the ground with Cooper cup and another receiver Demarcus Robinson blocking and a good first down gain on the ground for the secondy year man from BYU NOA yeah and we're just starting to see little bits Mike of what we saw in that game in the playoffs last year which is all the motion nobody does motion to their advantage better than the LA Rams do and what we've seen so far is the beginning of that process and they're reading how the lions are reacting to it Ronnie Rivers the thirdy year man out of Fresno State is the running back as kyen Williams gets this drive off and it's Rivers Running to the right very close to the first down marker at the 32 yard line going to Jackson the former lion who's playing center for the Rams is's trying to pull him through and he does for a first down yeah and we were wondering whether or not it was going to be Blake corm right the draft pick out of Michigan much loved around here win a National Championship but I think Ronnie Rivers probably a lame and usually what you hear out of that position is does he know all the protection schemes they have to protect the franchise TR stord fak it to Rivers he slinging on the side cannot be brought in by complete pass seeing a lot of communication happening on the sidelines Matthew Stafford showing the tablet to his end saying showing it to his offensive lineman giving a thumbs up saying perfect love that and having very detailed conversations with p with puka nikua and Cooper Cup on what they're seeing this is such a complex offense with motions they're just uh adjusting something with Adrien Hill the referee please reset the play clock to 25 thank you got the game of the play clock set properly before second and 10 which gives time for more of that noise below to talked about will be Rivers Running To the Left good blocking downfield including Cooper cup to get the the wall of white clears the way for rivers and that's how you take care of Aiden Hutchinson right there you get one of these outstanding receivers that time Cooper C who goes in motion here going to help there very loud here when the Rams are on off all you're doing is giving no boom a chance to get that edge and you still up out in front of the play to block for the first down that is just tremendous both of these guys Cooper cup pukaa as good of blockers as
