Pride Of Detroit on Jahmyr Gibbs
From the article
The Lions surprisingly cut down to only 4 wide receivers while keeping five running backs on the initial roster. My biggest takeaway is that this may signal the Lions are finally cashing in on the Brad Holmes "Jahmyr Gibbs Offensive Weapon" promise.
STACKED’s take
Gibbs positioned as position-less weapon with expanded slot role after Dortch release.
The Lions kept only 4 wide receivers while retaining 5 running backs on the initial 53-man roster, signaling the team is finally executing the Brad Holmes "Jahmyr Gibbs Offensive Weapon" promise. The unexpected release of gadget WR Greg Dortch indicates non-Amon-Ra St. Brown slot snaps are already accounted for Gibbs. Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing emphasized the matchup advantage: "Because the key is the matchups. When you have guys that can do a lot of different things, you can start to dictate things based on what the defense wants to do." Gibbs presents a far greater matchup problem in the slot than competing wide receivers and could dictate defensive personnel and matchups with and without the football.
