“We can throw it, we can run it, we can do whatever we want,” Morton said of that combination on the field together. “I’m all about making the defense uneasy. Maybe I might automatically get a defensive front coverage or blitz. I’m always looking to put our best players on the field at all times.<\/p>\n

“I come from the school of multiple packages of personnel groupings, in and out of the huddle, and trying to keep the defense uneasy. That’s the school I come from. It’s going to be a cool thing.”<\/p>\n

3. Detroit’s only had a couple padded practices so far in camp and that’s really when the evaluation of the players upfront takes place.<\/p>\n

The Lions have played Ratledge at center and right guard. Morton said he’s handled both really well and they’ll see where the best spot for him ends up being at the end of training camp and four preseason games.<\/p>\n

Overall, he’s liked the progression of the offensive line to start camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2.
