During the CBS broadcast of the Detroit Lions vs. Denver Broncos game on Sunday, Rich Gannon and Jay Feely offered some keen insight from Lions quarterback David Blough. Gannon and Feely relayed what Blough told them about the differences in the coaching staffs and culture between the Lions and the Browns, with whom Blough spent training camp and preseason.

“There’s more structure here in Detroit,” Gannon quoted Blough as saying in their pregame prep work.

Gannon then asked him to elaborate on the point about the differences in structure and approach.

“Everywhere. The meeting rooms, the coordinators, the head coach,” Gannon related.

That’s not a good look for Cleveland and coach Freddie Kitchens. The Lions are 3-11-1 and gunning for a top-three overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, losers of eight in a row. Blough has started the last four in place of the injured Matthew Stafford. The Browns traded him to the Lions at the roster cutdown deadline, swapping seventh-round picks in 2021. The Purdue product impressed in Cleveland but was firmly behind backup Garrett Gilbert.

Gannon interjected his own thoughts on the comparison between the Lions and Browns.

“I just think that tells you a lot about the situation in Cleveland, but that’s for another day,” Gannon said. He then turned to sideline reporter Feely, who also did the Browns’ broadcast a week ago in Arizona.

Feely told an anecdote about Blough meeting with head coach Matt Patricia every Tuesday to “break down the opposing defense and the players, and what he saw and what he thought they’d do.”

Patricia is a defensive-oriented head coach, a former coordinator under Bill Belichick in New England. Feely offered that “I don’t understand why every defensive coordinator or head coach wouldn’t do that.”

That is not something that Blough experienced in Cleveland. Granted, he was a fourth-stringer as an undrafted rookie, but the lack of structure and planning that he openly admitted he saw with the Browns is telling. Being inferior to the lowly Lions is not anything the Browns should tolerate.
