Jared Goff is already FIRED UP about the Detroit Lions' offense
The enhanced team synergy combined with the addition of new reinforcements has sparked off a wave of positivity in the Lions' camp.
“I think the main thing that feels different, certainly offensively right now, is just the standard of execution and the way that we operate and how much further along we are Day 1 this year, than we were Day 1 last year,” Goff said. “That only raises your standards and expectation for yourself.
“It's really cool to be able to show up this week and even in OTAs and be like, ‘OK, we know the formations, we know the base stuff’, and be able to, ‘OK what are our tweaks? What can we get better at? What are the things that we really fell short of last year?’ And find ways to get even better.”
“It’s certainly getting better at the things that we didn’t do very well and then it’s finding out what are some new things that, maybe we will do well,” Goff said, “that we didn’t do as much of last year and finding out what type of offense we are going to be and ultimately, what type of team we’re going to be overall.
“Just excited (to be back), yeah, I could barely sleep last night. Excited. Feels like the first day of school and with early reports, it’s always like we get here, whatever it was Wednesday and it’s like, ‘All right, when are we going to practice?’ It feels like it takes forever, but it’s finally here and we’re excited.”
