Amon-Ra St. Brown Wants the Lions to Start Faster
Amon-Ra St. Brown says the Lions offense has to start faster and has not scratched the surface. #Lions
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is urging his team to start faster during offensive drives. St. Brown has been a standout performer, catching 19 passes for 209 yards and four touchdowns this season, while ranking first in the NFL in receptions and eighth in receiving yards. When asked about the Jets game on the upcoming Sunday, Sept.
27, St. Brown emphasized the importance of quick starts, stating, "We gotta start faster. Gotta possess the ball a little more, make it easier on our defense, not have them be on the field as long." He believes that the team has barely begun to realize their potential. In the two games so far, Detroit failed to score an opening drive touchdown, punting on the first possession both times.
The Lions opened with a three-play, six-yard drive in both the overtime win against the New Orleans Saints and the loss to Buffalo. St. Brown is absolutely right to point out the need for faster starts and acknowledges that they have not come close to reaching their full potential. A touchdown on the opening drive would be a significant boost for the Lions' offense, giving their defense an early advantage against the Jets' potent offense.
