Asked #Lions special teams coordinator Joe Marciano about the new kickoff rules. Got this:
"We'll be a better return team because they eliminated the wedge. We were the worst wedge in the league last year, so I'm glad. Our wedges were terrible, and we spent the most time on it."— Chris Burke (@ChrisBurkeNFL) May 29, 2018
- The Lions barely used any 13 (one back, three tight ends) or 22 personnel on offense last year, but Chris Burke of The Athletic thinks that could change this season (subscription required), and it could give opposing defenses fits.
