The 2024 Detroit Lions offensive aims to set new records. Before the 2024 season begins, the Detroit Lions’ offense is anticipated to play at a very high level
. A top-notch offensive line surrounds quarterback Jared Goff, and youthful talent at critical positions, including tight end Sam LaPorta, is available.
The former second-round pick is trying to surpass his first-year NFL campaign accomplishments in Motown after a record-breaking rookie season.
The gifted tight end discussed how Ben Johnson’s offense can still become better during his appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Wednesday, even if the team has recently had success moving the ball and scoring scores.
This year, our head coach has emphasized several times that it requires more. We aim to raise the bar a little bit this year after having such a terrific stepping stone the previous year.
Can we cut down on turnovers? Is it possible to run the ball more effectively? More successfully? Could we finish off those downfield passes? The errors,” LaPorta remarked.
“Yes, we had a fantastic season last year, and we’re happy with our performance, but it’s 2024, so we’re aiming to improve this offense a little bit more and see what we can accomplish this year.”
The former Iowa Hawkeyes tight end encountered a range of different coverages from opposing defenders during his first campaign. “I believe I noticed a range of coverages and other things early on. LaPorta said,
“Ben Johnson does such a great job of arranging our offense to get guys in spaces and situations that may not look similar to the defense.”
“It’s great that I have a quarterback who can throw the ball accurately and on time, and there are other guys besides me like Brock Wright, Amon-Ra (St. Brown), Jamo (Jameson Williams), and Kalif (Raymond).” Because they divert attention from me down the field, those guys are also assisting me in opening up.
