For someone who underlines this Offense The one he built in Detroit, the coach Ben Johnson will certainly like to talk about how they have set up the Lions attack, will be different.
Who can blame him?
Johnson He spoke Tuesday at the meetings of the owners of the NFL roles within his offense and the way they arrived in Detroit. Consequently, it may be possible to reconstruct how or who may need Bears in the draft of the NFL to come, or how current players will need to transform.
The Detroit runners and receivers were unique like the “Sonic” and “Knuckles” supplements, with the former ball carrier David Montgomery joining the team, then Jahmyr Gibbs during writing.
The Bears have ancient Lions of Andre Swift, but it is not correct for the role of Gibbs and in particular Montgomery. It is fast but not as fast as Gibbs. It does not work with power like Montgomery.

“Not necessarily 1a and 1b, but more, they could coexist and really complete the skills of others,” was the way Johnson described his Detroit back.
The Bears have examined certain speed / receptor options in the draft and brought Halas Hall for a visit to Halas Hall for a visit of 30. It is both an excellent passenger sensor as a former receiver, and a back capable of breaking long races with a speed of less than 4.4 in the 40. These are only visits to prospects and not necessarily players.

“And for me, that’s how you want to build a list of all your skill positions, it’s that you don’t want five guys 6- (feet) 4 in the receiver room,” said Johnson. “You want more than one basketball team where you have the playmaker, you have power forward.
“You have a wealth of different skills sets that you can seek to call wherever you are on the ground or whatever the situation.”

This idea explains, in part, the apparent interest of the Bears for the tight winger of Penn State Tyler Warren. It has a set of skills different from Cole Kmet and could be more than someone who removes Kmet representatives.
The Lions aligned themselves in the third highest packages of 12 people in the league last year, anyway, and that means two tight ends.
Another curiosity is the way they will use wide receptors.
No defense of the NFL was able to stop Amon-Ra St. Brown last season ๐ฎโ๐จ pic.twitter.com/irfnycwtzo

In Detroit, Amon-Ra St. Brown was the slot machine receiver and the main target. As Johnson himself noted at the start of owners’ meetings, the ball in his offense always seemed to find his way in the middle of the field and the position of the slot machine in particular.
“It’s just naturally, whether Jarvis Landry or Danny Amendola or St. Brown in the past three years in Detroit, these guys were really the focal point of the passage game where I was in the past,” said Johnson.

The position of the location was just filled by the bears with OLAMIDE ZACCHEAUS, but their main wide target receiver to be exterior receptors DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. They will obviously not transform Zaccheaus into their main threat after having an average of 25 catches per year.
“Can the DJ play inside? I think he can,” said Johnson. “Can Rome play inside? I think he can. These two guys showed these features last year on a band.
“To what extent, I don’t know yet. We have to hit the grass and see what they are really capable of and what they do well, but I feel really good with the two guys we have brought to a free agency and what they bring to the table.”

The other guy is Devin Duvernay, the return man who has an average of 30 captures during his first three seasons before injuries and a change of team has derailed his offensive production.
This will be a case to install the square ankles in the round holes and vice versa for Johnson, unless the draft brings him pieces more ideally adapted to his past attack, or that the players already in trailer have other skills that they have not yet shown.
DJ Moore is the definition of a team player.
He saw only two targets all the game and could easily have complained. This did not prevent him from showing efforts like this in a game that was already over.
It deserves better. #Dabears pic.twitter.com/ligymdo5zf
