Rosenthal: Training camp surprises for every team (Detroit Lions: It may be nothing, but the consistently mixed practice reports about Matthew Stafford's effectiveness and the week off he received from heavy throwing are rare to see from such a veteran quarterback. What the new Lions offense under coordinator Darrell Bevell will look like is one of the biggest mysteries entering the season.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001043285/article/2019-nfl-preseason-training-camp-surprises-for-all-32-teams
32 Notes From 32 NFL Training Camps (Lions (July 30): One thing I think you’ll see in Detroit this year that may not have been noticeable in Year 1: Matt Patricia’s expertise of the details. One example would be in how the offensive line will be coached a certain way, specific to how the shorter-but-not-height-deficient Matthew Stafford plays. Another is in the bigger, longer targets Stafford prefers, guys like T.J. Hockenson, Jessie James and Kenny Golladay, being deployed. And then there’s how Patricia himself will be able to direct the coaches more than he did last year, when he was focused in getting the program off the ground floor. “I think the biggest part for me last year, you’re trying to do everything within the organization to make change, get it right, make it Tier 1 level,” Patricia told me. “This year was really good for me to be able to go back and coach the coaches, like, ‘hey this is what we have to expect, this is what we have to do.’ We’re asking our players to do this, we have to be able to do this.’ “Those expectations and those differences, I think with the coaching staff changes that we made, you evaluate the first year, this has to get better, or this was good, whatever it is, I’m spending more time doing that. Which, ultimately, in the end, should help.” In the end, the real hallmark of Belichick’s program in New England is in complementary football—how the pieces fit together. And ultimately, that’s what Patricia is looking for in coaching his coaches.): https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/08/22/nfl-training-camp-2019-news-notes-32-teams
NFL coaches' hot-seat tiers: From safe forever to impending doom (Red Hot - Matt Patricia, Lions: Patricia’s first season was pretty much a disaster and his coaching style didn’t sit well with some of his players. The Lions went out and spent big money in free agency this offseason. Patricia needs a dramatic turnaround or else he won’t get a third season.): https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2019/08/21/nfl-coaches-hot-seat-tiers-from-safe-forever-to-impending-doom/27/
