Allen Park — Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter didn’t have much time to implement his offensive schemes after taking over midway through the 2015 season.
But with an entire offseason to work with, Cooter and the Lions’ offense have noticeably ratcheted up the tempo and utilized a no-huddle approach in the preseason.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Lions have used the no-huddle on 62 percent of its preseason snaps compared to 7 percent a year ago. In the two exhibition games, Matthew Stafford is 6-for-6 for 108 yards on passes to Golden Tate and Marvin Jones Jr.
