Detroit Lions offense film breakdown: Use motion shallow cross more

Third in a series of film breakdowns on the state of the Lions passing offense. Catch up on previous installments here:

One of the problems with the way the Detroit Lions built their wide receiver corps is that it felt very slow compared to what we had in the past.
