00:00you lose ben johnson and i don't know it just doesn't seem that detroit offense is in sync
00:07since he has left am i wrong when i say that that look and i took a look at chicago
00:12this past
00:13weekend this guy almost put up a 60 burger on carolina i know they gave up 37 points but at
00:19the end of the day man he was so important to that lions offense and then being able to move
00:25the sticks and it seems that they've missed him you think that's going to be one of the things
00:29to watch this year with that lions offense i think so and i think detroit is obviously still going to
00:35have a good offense because i mean dan campbell is a good offensive mind and they just have such
00:41great personnel there jameer gibbs is the most explosive running back in the league amon ross
00:45st brown is underrated for how consistent he is and his ability to stay on the field jameson
00:50williams and sam laporte are also great passing game weapons jared goff's been very consistent
00:55in the last handful of years as well but i think to your point their ceiling as an offense just
01:00hasn't been the same since ben johnson left before it would be hey against these weaker defenses the
01:06lions would be able to put up those 40 45 point games i know they scored 31 against the saints
01:12but
01:13it was a little bit of a slog at times it took them a long time to get going in
01:16that one and yeah maybe
01:18new offensive coordinator drew petzing after five or six weeks will have them humming and playing at a
01:24better level but things have seemed clunky since ben johnson left and i think you kind of see that
01:30in the fact that they had john morton as their offensive coordinator last year moved on from him
01:34after one year they're still kind of chasing that uh great offensive mind that they had in johnson so
01:39it has been a big loss for the lions they've been able to still perform well despite it but yeah
01:44i think
01:45it's fair to question how high is their ceiling offensively are they going to be able to turn this
01:50unit into what it was under ben johnson
01:51you
