We have our first report on an interview for the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator job. As Thursday’s report from Alex Marvez suggested Youth Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , the Lions are interested in former Jaguars offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the interests goes a little further. Rapoport is saying that the Lions have already completed an interview with Hackett: Of course, the news comes with a caveat—Hackett is scheduled to interview with the Lions’ rivals, the Green Bay Packers, who just completed their head coaching search with Matt LaFleur. Hackett is likely earning consideration after leading one of the best offenses in 2017 with the Jaguars. That year, Jacksonville ranked fifth in points, sixth in yards and 16th in DVOA. The team took a big step back in 2018 Womens Taylor Decker Jersey , due to injuries and Blake Bortles-ing. Marvez’s report from Thursday suggested the Lions were also interested in former Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, but there are no clear indications that he has interviewed with the team yet. However, considering how close-to-the-vest the Lions are playing this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he has also interviewed with the team already. Stick around here for the most up-to-date rumors and news on the Lions’ offensive coordinator search. It’s not often that a defensive tackle wins the Defensive Rookie of the Year (DROY) award, but it certainly isn’t unheard of. Aaron Donald did it a few years ago, and Ndamukong Suh did it back in 2010. Prior to those two, however http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/glover-quin-jersey-authentic , it hadn’t happened since 1994.Detroit Lions fourth-round rookie Da’Shawn Hand isn’t having the type of season Donald or Suh did in their rookie years. Suh had 10.0 sacks his rookie year, while Donald was right behind him with 9.0 in 2014. Hand, on the other... hand, isn’t putting up any eye-popping stats. He has just 19 tackles, 2.0 sacks, and two forces fumbles. Those are still some impressive numbers, but hardly the kind that will draw national attention worthy of winning an award like DROY.However http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/sylvester-williams-jersey-authentic , when compared to the rest of the rookie class, Hand deserves to be part of the conversation. Just take a look at the top rookies accoridng to Pro Football Focus’ grades: Hand is just barely behind Derwin James and Leighton Vander Esch, and is the highest-graded rookie defensive lineman in the league. Unfortunately for Hand, he doesn’t have a realistic shot at winning the award for the time being. James (3.5 sacks, 1 INT) and Vander Esch (51 tackles!!) have the traditional stats that will earn them votes at the end of the year. Still, if Hand continues to play this well, it means much more for the Lions than any postseason honors. Lions tight end Michael Roberts has missed every game since the Lions’ Week 2 loss to the 49ers. It looks like he’s itching to get back: Jeff Risdon of Lions Wire thinks the Lions need to make a play for Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley if the young defensive back is truly on the market. Golden Tate played under former Seahawks owner Paul Allen Womens Jarrad Davis Jersey , who passed away on Monday after his battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Tate offered his condolences via Twitter late Monday night: Lions owner Martha Ford offered this statement on the passing of Paul Allen: Matt Patricia has really struggled against the Dolphins in Miami, as MLive’s Nate Atkins notes. We’ve talked plenty about the Lions’ struggles to defend the run but they certainly need to improve against the pass, too: This is pretty neat: The Detroit Lions surprised a wedding couple and spiced up their ceremony with Lions cheerleaders, Roary, tickets to the Packers game and sideline passes.
