Dave Birkett and Carlos Monarrez share their thoughts after the Lions-Patriots joint practice on Aug. 5, 2019, in Allen Park. Carlos Monarrez and Dave Birkett, Detroit Free Press
A lot of good work at Monday's joint practice between the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots, and in my opinion some of the most revealing were a couple two-minute drills each team ran near the end of practice.
First the scenario: It's first-and-10 near their own 30-yard line (the Lions started at the 30 on their two drives, the Patriots at the 29), 1:45 on the clock, offense has the ball down three points.
