The Lions’ season has started off difficult, and there are several areas of their play that need immediate improvement.
A review of their first four games indicates a number of important areas that need to be improved in order to make them more competitive in the future.
The team’s defensive tactics need to be significantly improved, first and foremost. The Lions have given up too many yards and points to opponents due to their inability to contain their attack. Better communication among players and a more strong defensive line will be necessary for improved performance overall.
The offensive also needs to become more consistent. Although there have been some outstanding plays, the squad frequently fails to keep up the momentum and complete key plays. Enhancing play-calling techniques and building a closer bond between the quarterback and receivers can help them score more points.
And last, there needs to be some attention paid to the inconsistent special teams play. Unfavorable field situations have resulted from problems with the covering and return units, increasing defensive pressure and reducing offensive opportunities. The team’s overall performance in upcoming games might be greatly impacted by a concentrated special teams strategy.
