The value of Combine Workouts and Athletic Drills is if a prospect's result on one or more of the Combine Athletic Tests doesn't reflect the prospect's play in college games, another look at the game tape in college of the prospect can help to see there were mistakes in the previous game evaluations for the prospect.

Which players are productive varies, depending on who's making the determination. What are the minimum thresholds for Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell at each position?

Dan Campbell was 'within a whisker' of being hired full-time by the Dolphins after his interim coach stint

...........

The Dolphins made a mistake by hiring Adam Gase as HC, instead of promoting Dan Campbell from Interim HC to HC. Yet, it probably was best for Dan Campbell, as he had 5 seasons after his time with the Dolphins to learn under then Saints/ current Broncos HC Sean Payton. That prepared Campbell much more for his eventual HC opportunity with the Lions.

Lions and Giants to have Joint 2023 Training Camp Practices

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1731/lions-giants-joint-training-practices

After around 2 weeks of practicing against teammates, the joint practices with the Giants came at a good time for both teams. I think it's going to be the norm moving forward for the Lions to have joint practices against at least two other NFL teams each summer.

Lions QB Nate Sudfeld likely tore his ACL

The Lions being in the Regular Season Thursday Night opener this year probably was the reason why the Lions didn't play any clear-cut starters and co-starters (RBs, TEs, and RGs) in the pre-season finale at Carolina.

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1887/lions-21-chiefs-game-2023?page=1&scrollTo=8961

It's much more pleasant trying to correct mistakes from a win than from a loss. Having said that, the Lions have plenty that needs to be addressed from the win over the Chiefs. Communication /assignment mistakes, especially on Defense, comes to mind above all else.

Dan Campbell's 4th down gambles become costly in Lions loss to Seahawks

This thread relates to the following thread:

Seahawks 37, Lions 31 OT: Game # 2 ( 2023)

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1895/seahawks-37-lions-game-2023

I think it's fair to say that Dan Campbell doesn't trust Riley Patterson on FGs that are close to 50 Yard FGs and even more so FGs 50 yards or longer. The Lions probably will have to address the Kicker situation again if Campbell doesn't gain confidence in Patterson on FGs around the 48 to 53 Yard Range.

Overall, each situation in a game is different. Sometimes being aggressive in going for a 1st Down, on 4th Down, is a good decision. Other times, it's not a good decision.

On the Lions final drive in the 4th QTR and as it turned out, the game, Big V was out as well. When combining this with Taylor Decker, David Montgomery not being available (especially for Blitz protection), and Amon-Ra St. Brown been limited to at least some extent, I respect Dan Campbell's decision for the Lions to be more cautious than usual.
