With the Lions' first open practice, Dan Campbell, Dave Fipp, Ray Agnew, Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill met with the media.
Just for fun: Crash Davis must be leading Goff's PR cliche team (fun, challenge, communication, great job).
(Goff on John Morton, Jun 2, 2025)
"It's fun. It's a challenge," Goff said Friday. "It's new stuff. It's new communication. It's different ways he likes to do things and learning each other. It's a fun challenge. It's something we're working through every day and something that's fun to overcome and get closer to where we want to be."
"Some of it is different. Some of it is the same. He's got a long background of stuff he's liked that he's done, and he was here for a year through a lot of our success. There will be a lot of that carryover and some new. He has his flavor on the offense and has been doing a good job."
I knew his quotes on Petzing sounded familiar, lol. I don't expect anything different in media quotes, but the similarity in what he says and how he says it is humorous to me.
I thought the same thing when I read Goff comments about Petzing. Very similar to what he said about Morton. Have to admit my initial reaction was “Oh sh*t” cause it feels a lot like someone trying to say something good about a person when they really want to say something else... 😬 Petzing seems like a grade or above Morton from what I’ve been able to glean so I hope I’m just reading into something that isn’t there. Please let that be the case…
"It was the first walkthrough, we had guys all over the ground. The league didn't take too kindly to that, and it's not worth it.“
When I read this quote, I thought it was two years ago they lost some OTA due to overly intense drills on minicamp. Some clarification of this statement would be nice.
Yes, so I'm confused to the situation that Dan is referring where the "league didn't take too kindly to that." I don't remember about hearing any feedback or reports about such a situation last year.
Any chance they were told they *couldn't* have rookie camp this year, but the league is letting them save face? I suppose not. If a ban on rookie camp were punitive I'm guessing the league would have announced it. It's interesting that they were, I believe, the ONLY team not to have it.
We'll see how it works out! Our two first rounders are certainly not in red-shirt territory so we'll see if there's any lag in their development.
I took him talking about Petzing being good at communicating and intangibles as saying he’s better than Morton

“…I was guilty of providing that filler for more than a decade.”
Yet we’re all still here. We forgive you.
Thanks for making football feel a little bit closer.
Wait, in regards to rookie mini camp last year, the league didn't take to kindly to what?
Had the same question: "first walkthrough, we had guys all over the ground."
How were player falling to the ground injured during walkthroughs?
If I remember correctly, it got quite intense. And the league has restrictions on how far that can go.

I like that the team is less stubborn and rethinking how they operate.
Yeah, and the intensity is good but those guys sort of fell like flies with injuries outside of tyliek and ratledge.
And I guess teslaa
Though I know ratledge was vocal about hitting a rookie wall from fatigue and of course Frazier was injured and so was Ahmed.
Um
I'm blanking on the rest of that rookie class.
