And I think that by looking at those two teams, I don't think that it's fair to say that the Lions are being not that rounded as a team right now because Ben Johnson's gone.

You know, Jared Goff is playing very well, but the defensive side of the ball is really, really struggling.

And that's the hard thing when you are one of the type of head coaches that Dan Campbell is.

You want either the defensive guy like a Mike McDonald, you want either the offensive guy like a Kyle Shanahan.

So there's always that revolving door on, you know, at worst, both sides of the ball.

And really, they are not the team that we thought they would be going into this year because they can't stop.

Are they going to be truly competitive in the long run with the type of head coach that Dan Campbell is? I think he's fantastic in what he's done to turn that team around.

I just now question, can the Lions have sustained success when every time they are successful, both their coordinators will be nabbed?
Well, yeah, but you've got to look at it like last year, though, as well, when you say he's not an X's and O's guy.
But at the same time, he's not scared of taking over a coordinator's job, taking over the... taking the plays even because I think that's happened last year and he took over the OC duty.
So I wouldn't be surprised if we're in a situation where if this carries on that he's not a guy that's underconfident.
