Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions is looking forward to experienced backup Teddy Bridgewater joining the team later this week.
“I’ve run across him while playing against him. And not only in football,” Goff said. “But I’ve heard great things about him, and I’m looking forward to having him here.” I’ve only heard positive things about how helpful he is and how much fun he has in the locker room.”
A great backup may give an impartial vision and an extra voice that can share experiences playing against various NFL defences for a senior starter.
“I guess it’s good to have an unbiased point of view that can be honest with you while also being helpful in certain things that they’ve done.” “I’m going to pick Teddy’s brain,” Goff stated. “He’s had a lot of ball under his belt, of things he’s done in the past and ways he’s done Monday’s and Tuesday’s and different things like that.”
New offensive weapons
Having youthful offensive weapons has piqued the 28-year-old signal-caller’s interest, as he works to identify their skills and deliver them the ball in locations where they can excel.
“He’s rather excellent. He’s very adept in space. “He’s really special,” Goff said of running back Jahmry Gibbs. “And it’s always been our goal to find those guys who are special in space, and he’s one of them.”
Ending on a cliff Throughout the first 12 days of training camp, Sam LaPorta has found himself exposed on a regular basis.
“He’s a fantastic player.” “I mean, he was drafted in the second round for a reason, and he understands the game at a pretty high level and has a good feel for space,” Goff said. “Plays without thinking and only reacts.” Of course, beginner blunders are certain to occur. He’ll run the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, but he’s been getting rid of them. The same ones have not occurred again, which is the purpose. But having him with the ball and putting him into space is also an objective of ours.”
The offence is moving ahead.
Goff is in his second year working with Ben Johnson’s offence, and he is benefiting from the challenge that Detroit’s defence has offered during camp.
“If last year was 101, we’re in 201 now,” Goff said. “It’s our ability to take things to the next level.” And it’s difficult for me as well. Just making sure I know what my duties are and what my checks are every day. But I know everyone else is doing the same thing, and it’s been taking the next step and feeling like we’re in a good spot these past few weeks.”
