Lions’ Dan Campbell Optimistic About Christian Mahogany’s Return Against Steelers
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is optimistic about the return of offensive lineman Christian Mahogany, especially in the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Focus on Mahogany’s Return
The Lions are looking to enhance their offensive line with Mahogany’s potential comeback. His presence could provide additional support, especially considering the current challenges the team is facing.
Impact of Mahogany on the Team
- Christian Mahogany’s return is crucial for Detroit’s offensive stability.
- Campbell believes that a stronger offensive line will help the running game.
- Incorporating Mahogany can improve the overall performance of the team.
David Montgomery’s Role
Meanwhile, running back David Montgomery has experienced a decline in touches over the past five games. Despite starting strong, with double-digit carries in seven of the first nine games, he has struggled to make an impact recently.
Plans to Increase Montgomery’s Involvement
Coach Campbell acknowledged the need to involve Montgomery more in the offense. He stated, “Every good player wants their chance to help the team win. It’s essential for our success.”
- Montgomery carried the ball only seven times in the last game against the Rams.
- Coach Campbell is actively seeking ways to get both Montgomery and fellow running back Jahmyr Gibbs more involved.
- A balanced offense is crucial for the team’s performance.
As the Lions prepare for their match against the Steelers, key players like Mahogany and Montgomery will be essential for bolstering the team’s offensive capabilities.
