LIONS HAVE MYSTERY PLAY CALLER

Just when you think things couldn’t get worse for the Detroit Lions, you read this gem from the paper…

Colletto said his headset kept cutting out and he couldn’t call plays. He didn’t say when this happened, but given Colletto’s history, I assume it was when the Lions scored 23 points in the second quarter.

“We ran plays I’ve never even seen before,” Colletto said, and I thought that was probably a good thing, but he seemed frustrated anyway.

Orlovsky seemed genuinely baffled when he was asked about the headset issues.

“Drew did a good job getting me some good stuff,” he said. “So we were good.”

What did Colletto mean when he said they ran plays he’d never even seen?

“I don’t know,” Orlovsky said. “You have to ask Jim. … I didn’t see it as a problem.”

So let me get this straight. The freakin offensive coordinator didn’t know the plays we were running?

Sounds like something out of Varsity Blues. Is Johnny Moxon going to call a five WR set next game? Is Lance Harbor going to be signaling in “Hook and Ladders”?

How the hell does Drew Stanton know plays that the OC doesn’t?

Maybe Drew isn’t as useless as Coletto thought he was.

What'd you think of this?
