Shough was incredible most of 2nd half, still major communication issues

Even on game tying drive, every play there were people blitzing and coming in untouched. Not sure if it's a McCoy, Shough, KM, or all 3 problem. I know Vilma complimented him on attacking the zones where people blitzed from but typically, teams still are able to pick up those blitzes. We almost never did. Olines do typically start the season bad, Detroit however did not. I agree we need our starting units to play a couple series during the preseason.

I understand we don't want starters going down with injuries potentially for a preseason game, but you can't start the season not understanding basic principles and having that bad of miscommunications. I also think Kelvin Shephard (Lions D coordinator) called one hell of a game. Last, loved the response from Shough and our WRs, wanted the win, but one hell of a response after such a shitty 1st half. If we can get to just average 1st half play, and continue playing how we do in the 2nd half, we will do very well in our division.
