Part 4/8:
One of the hallmark strategies of Johnson's offensive playbook is the frequent use of motion and shifts, creating an atmosphere of confusion for opposing defenses. Such intricacies in design force defenders to maintain a heightened level of awareness, leading to mistakes that the Lions can quickly capitalize on.
An example of this can be seen in how the Lions executed a staggered motion to open up passing lanes or run gaps. Johnson’s approach often places his athletes in positions to either confuse the defense or exploit mismatches, ensuring that Detroit's skilled players like Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs can thrive in chaotic situations.
