2023 TNF shout box thread vs Motown kitty cats.

The question I have is will games
5-8 see slight improvements over mistakes we made in games 1-4. I’m not as worried about the “talk” around town or even our raw record. We aren’t built for a deep playoff run right now I’m sorry upfront if that hurts anyone’s dreams.
Personally I want to know can we put fixes in place that noticeably reduce run yards allowed, penalty # allowed, negative plays allowed early, especially in possessions 1-2 etc. We need to see improvement in lane discipline, fundamental discipline and self inflictions. If we do that and go 7-10 vs a sloppier version of 9-8 I’m ok with that.
I like Montgomery. I’m here to tell you David Montgomery is not Dalvin Cook prime and I don’t care what people say that’s a fact. He has largely been a non factor agaunat GB until he got behind a top 5 OL in Detroit. He’s a good but not great RB We let him him have a field day because Detroit has a Big, Physical OL with 3-Day1 selections on it. They out blocked our smaller DL. That might mean increasing usage of LVN, Gary this next week. They’ll have 10 days of rest and a bye week afterwards, work them both like Junkyard Dogs and get that run D fixed

One of my arguments for the last 10 years was to get stouter on the DL because of big O lines. Kenny Clark is just one. We just cannot seem to find the other pieces.

Wyatt and Clark have been our most impactful iDL this far in 2023. I was surprised to see Wyatt’s stats so far..
4games, 2 starts he has:
12 Tackles, 6 Solo (149 snaps)
4 TFL (for loss)
3 QB hits
2.5 Sacks
That’s in that Probowl level impact if extrapolated. 31% TFL is “Elite”

Comparatively Kenny Clark has
4 games 4 Starts
13 Tackles 4 Solo (200 snaps)
1 TFL
5 QB hits
2.0 Sacks

We need 1 more DL to rise to the occasion. I’d like to see more Karl Brooks
4 games 0 starts (111 Snaps)
4 tackles 4 Solo
3 TFL! (Major Elite)
2 QB hits
2 Sacks

I like that. But also we have only faced one good offensive line so far.
