They totally know we're running on 1st down. We keep seeing 2nd and 13, 14 yds.

That was pretty predictable. That's Musgrave's version of the third-and-long draw from the Childress era.

Musgrave, that was a chicken-poop playcall on 3rd down. Percy would convert those little screens half the time, but he's gone now.

Lions have no respect for Ponder and that is allowing them to shut Peterson down.

He can't trust Ponder right now to throw down the field. Can't throw a pick right now.
