personal records all over the place with the Lions. As the star

ALLEN PARK Color Rush Amani Oruwariye Jersey , Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions are not renewing offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter’s contract after the team sputtered to a 6-10 season while quarterback Matthew Stafford struggled.The Lions announced their decision Tuesday, two days after finishing 6-10 in coach Matt Patricia’s first season at the helm. Cooter was a holdover from Jim Caldwell’s staff, but his first season with Patricia did not go well.Only two teams in the NFC scored fewer points than Detroit’s 324. Rookie running back Kerryon Johnson gave the Lions’ running game a bit of a boost before he was lost for the season with a knee injury. Stafford took a step back, falling short of 4,000 yards passing for the first time since his injury-filled 2010 campaign.Detroit won its finale 31-0 over Green Bay, but that was the only time in its last 10 games that the Lions scored more than 22 points.Cooter was a quarterbacks coach for the Lions before taking over as offensive coordinator during the 2015 season. Detroit kept him after firing Caldwell and hiring Patricia, but that continuity didn’t seem to help much this season.Stafford threw 21 touchdown passes, also his lowest mark since 2010 Cheap Amani Oruwariye Jersey , and his passer rating of 89.9 was his lowest since 2014.“I think there are games where we were able to execute well in the passing game, and obviously games where we didn’t, and that’s why we are where we are right now,” Patricia said Monday. “We’ll evaluate all of it.”The Lions’ offense also took a hit when they traded Golden Tate for a draft pick in October. Receiver Marvin Jones ended up going on injured reserve. So did Johnson , who rushed for 641 yards in the 10 games he did play.Although Patricia has only been the coach for one season, Detroit’s decline from a 9-7 record in 2017 was stark enough that this should be an intriguing offseason. Now the Lions have a chance to reassess their offense as they move forward.Monday open thread: Who will be the Detroit Lions’ breakout player in 2018? Happy Week 1 of the regular season, everybody! The Detroit Lions will kick off their first regular season practice on Monday, and that means it’s time to get serious about our 2018 season preview. This week Amani Oruwariye Jersey Womens , we’ll be featuring predictions from all of our staff, get into our breakdown of the New York Jets, and, of course, welcome the return of our “On Paper” previews. To kick things off, we want to bring some optimism to the group. It’s been a rough preseason, and the Lions made some unpopular decisions with their roster cuts this past weekend. As a result, morale seems to be pretty down right now. So with that in mind Amani Oruwariye Detroit Lions Jersey , today’s Question of the Day is:Who will be the Lions’ breakout players in 2018?My answer: Devon Kennard. In his four years with the Giants, Kennard wasn’t a bad player, but he was far from an integral piece for New York. The Giants moved him all around the defensive front, and couldn’t seem to find a specific role for him. As a result, he’s never finished a season with more than 4.5 sacks or 61 tackles, and the team decided not to re-sign him this year.I think Kennard is primed to set personal records all over the place with the Lions. As the starting left defensive end/SAM linebacker, Kennard is going to be an integral piece of this defense, both at setting the edge on the left side of the defense and bringing some heat on passing downs. We saw flashes of it in the preseason Amani Oruwariye Jersey 2019 , as Kennard was one of the few players that was actually responsible for some quarterback pressures. Going up against team’s right tackles, Kennard should have the opportunity to touch double digit sacks. I wouldn’t expect quite that much from him, but I think he’s definitely primed for an 8-9 sack season, which would be huge. The Lions haven’t had an edge rusher not named Ezekiel Ansah tally more than 8.0 sacks since Cliff Avril in 2012. Now is Kennard’s time.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage
