He grew up dreaming of playing football and did everything he could to reach that goal. And when he got into coaching, all he wanted to do was be a coordinator. Now he has the chance. My Sunday long read on ‘maniacal grinder' and new Detroit Lions OC John Morton www.freep.com/story/sports...

More on new Detroit Lions RBs coach Tashard Choice, with some interesting thoughts he shared with me on Jahmyr Gibbs after the Lions took Gibbs with the 12th pick in the 2023 NFL draft www.freep.com/story/sports...

submitted 14 days ago • 1 comment

Here's what Tashard Choice told me re: Jahmyr Gibbs in 2023: "He’s a quiet competitor man. He believes he’s the best dude on the field but you ain’t going to never him say it, he ain’t going to never act like it. He’s just going to go play. That’s how Calvin is. He’s very similar to Megatron"

Having 2 new coordinators isn't ideal, but it's not mission impossible, either. The 2009 Saints won it all with a new OC & DC. The 2015 Broncos had 2 new coordinators & a new HC.
