After the Detroit Lions lost to the Denver Broncos Sunday, cornerback Bradley Roby boasted that he knew what plays the Lions' offense was planning to run. On Monday, Broncos safety David Bruton claimed that he could also predict what was coming from Detroit during the fourth quarter.
Lions' receiver Golden Tate responded to these comments Tuesday.
"I've had a couple occasions in literally each game, where they called out our play for one, then afterwards been like 'hey, we knew what you guys were doing,'" Tate said, via Detroit Sports 105.1. "I don't know how they know or what film they're watching that we're giving away...that's something we got to go back and watch our tendencies to figure out where we line up or how we line up or what formation or whatever it may be. We've got to figure it out because we're clearly giving away...That's bad."
Lions offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has been criticized in the past for being too predictable. If these claims are true, those involved in the Lions' offensive game plan need to reevaluate their strategy.
