Was the defense better because Whitehead and Jackson didn’t play?

Lions had 0 weapons on offence. Galloday and Amendola out leaving only Marvin Jones. Swift out leaving AP to carry the load since I guess Kerryon Johnson is in the doghouse. Stafford obviously hurting though he's average at best anyway.

Panthers were missing McCaffrey and starting a backup QB in his first start ever so I think that evens out.

First shutout since 2015 today. Noticeably better defensive performance without notorious underperformers in Tahir Whitehead and Donte Jackson. Coincidence? Or something that needed to happen 7 games ago?

Jackson? When not banged up, no. Whitehead? Hell to the yes.

    • Nussmeier shows all the qualities, but has a really bad game here and there. Sellers is raw, we will see how things play out.
    • Wait......CRA is now playing UP our receivers?  
    • Well let's be realistic here. He could have taken one look at Bryce Young on tape and known what he was getting. As JackieLee stated his work with QB's like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield is a big contributing factor in why he was hired. At the same time we also have to recognize other factors. Seemingly and realistically he was the only one seriously considering the job. And as far as "fixing" Bryce Young goes one entire staff has already gotten the axe over him. Frank Reich was vilified as possibly the worst head coaching hire ever. 2 years later the more we see of Bryce the more it looks like he was the problem. Right now we are at a true crossroads. We cannot just play out the season with Young and be a serious franchise. We have to try and see what we have in the young roster and firmly get some sort of look at Canales offense. At this point Dave Canales needs to earn the right to draft his own QB. So far he has developed bupkis at the most important position. And he and Dan Morgan made the decision to not give Bryce Young one iota of competition for the third year in a row. He cannot claim the cupboards are bare beyond his control.
