Lions, Dolphins joint practices: Onslaught of offensive observations

Lions, Dolphins joint practices: Onslaught of offensive observations

Throughout the offseason, the Detroit Lions offense has been under the microscope, and in training camp, it has taken its lumps from its own defense.

Vikings-Patriots joint practice: J.J. McCarthy’s poise, quick decisions stand out

EAGAN, Minn. — They tend to save the best drill for last. It’s not that the second-and-long sequences don’t matter, and it’s not like Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell isn’t glued to practice during the other periods. But a two-minute drill?

Joint practices conclude on competitive note

Joint practices conclude on competitive note

Defensive observations (Waack): – There wasn’t anything all that notable from the 7-on-7 period. Falcons safety Ronnie Harrison, who signed last Sunday, was super close to getting his first interception in Atlanta when a pass from Titans quarterback Brandon Allen hit Harrison’s hands rather than those of a Tennessee teammate in the end zone.

Joint practice observation: Lions defense absolutely smother Dolphins

Joint practice observation: Lions defense absolutely smother Dolphins

Throughout training camp, the Detroit Lions’ defense has been giving the offense fits. It got to a point where some may have been questioning whether the Lions’ offense was going through some issues. But if Day 1 of joint practices was any indication, the Lions defense just may be that damn good. I’ve probably witnessed about 10 or so joint …
