What are you looking for vs the Lions?

Preseason game #2 vs the Lions.

What are you looking for?

Better overall defensive performance but more toward the secondary.. I want to see the system start to click for those guys....

More pass rush, push up front... Team as a whole did a great job against the run last week but I'd love more pressure on the qb...

Not to see our qbs, no matter whos behind center, getting drilled. Seriously. It's too early to be getting smoked back there. O line needs to improve in pass pro...

More holes for the RBs... Better push off the line against a good lions front 4 ... Want to feel comfortable that guys are understanding our blocking schemes...

Better play calling and less predictable shit on offense on certain downs... I want some surprises, a clear plan of attack in mind ... While kyle was the most up and down you praise and then want to kill him the next second, Jay hasn't impressed me much more....

Tres way kicking the ball off.

No injuries on either side.

And that's ... What I'm looking for on Thursday.

Better special teams play, DB/S play, RGIII consistency, OL play, Smith at LB.

Progress and 0 injuries.

Like stated above, no injuries and better play out of the DB's. We were beat like a drum last year in the secondary, so even a small improvement would be nice. I really want to see how long we play the 1st team. I'm hoping the O-line comes together like buttcheeks and keeps our little turd (spoken with love) safe in the pocket:)

A win and a good showing for RG3 so the Lions fans I work with will STFU.

Primarily, I'd like to see the first team offense and defense on the field for more snaps.

DEFENSE

-I want to see the first unit defense perform a lot better, especially the secondary.

The SAF didn't make any plays that stood out. The back-up SAF seemed more active and made more plays then the first unit. Duke was more active then Dash, with Jeron back I'm looking for more.

DHall at CB2 looked shaky and apprehensive and the back-ups looking like back-ups. With Amerson back in the line-up I want to see a better outing from the CB, not a good look letting the Browns march-up the field on them.

-Who is gonna play at ILB? Keenan and Compton are both banged up. Riley and Spaight?

-I want the front 5 to look dominant, Paea made some plays but i expect more from this unit then I saw against the Browns. And if Kerrigan is back I want to see him applying pressure.

OFFENSE

I want to see Griffin get more snaps and throw more passes, move the pocket throw quick from spread formations.

I'm curious how they'll handle the lack of TEs via formations or personnel. I would like spread formations on 1st downs where they run the ball vs nickel defense.

I have to admit I still would like to see Scherff at RT, if its not with the first unit then rotate him in with the second unit.

Right side of the offensive line - Scherff and Moses. If they keep up the strong performance it bodes very well. I want to see Moses avoid lunging in pass pro. And nobody got to the 2nd level in run blocking like Scherff did against Cleveland. If all that good stuff continues then I'll feel really really good about our line.

Robert needs to look like he knows where to go with the ball.

Defense, I'm not worried if we do some bending. We're just playing base defense, no blitzing, no crazy scheming. So all I can really judge is man on man, who's winning the trench battle.

I don't think you can learn anything about the secondary in the preseason unless the team actually gets out of its base defense.

no injuries. competence.
