"He (Cooter) knows what Matt likes, what Matt likes to do and what Matt wants. So that's really how the offense works – you give the quarterback what he wants."
First a new offensive coordinator, now a new continent.
The Hartland native says he started a GoFundMe account to acquire enough capital to purchase the Lions from the Ford family.
"You would feel better about the future of the Detroit Lions with Connor Cook as quarterback then Matthew Stafford? Is that what you're saying?"
The 31-year-old has worked with Peyton Manning in both Indianapolis and Denver, and is now tasked with running a competent offense in Detroit and bringing the best out of Matthew Stafford.
"I should say, 'I' but it's always – obviously nothing is ever done in a vacuum," he said.
The Detroit Lions are not having a good season, but neither are the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, both teams are heading to London to face off and both aren't looking so much at the playoffs anymore, but simply salvaging the season in some form or another.
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford rejected the notion that there was any sort of disconnect between himself and former offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.
The Lions are firing offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and offensive line coaches Jeremiah Washburn and Terry Heffernan.
Stafford said after the game that he would be fine, and that the injury didn't affect his performance. He finished the game with tape and a glove on his hand.
"We did it last year (and) that leads me to believe that we can do it again. This year's not over yet."
"When we make big plays, we score touchdowns. If we're not making big plays, it's tough to nickel and dime all the way down the field."
Calvin Johnson came down with a catch in traffic near the goal line, and with the Detroit Lions trailing by 11, officials marked the star receiver down just short of the end zone.
The Detroit Lions had to prepare for Adrian Peterson and make sure that he was stopped; but by keeping him under control, the Minnesota Vikings unleashed other weapons. Teddy Bridgewater could not be stopped and it was because Stefon Diggs couldn't be either.
"So we just have to collectively get it together where we can play more consistently, which we haven't."
