Detroit Lions Scottie Montgomery has high goals for David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs
for their running game. Running backs coach Scottie Montgomery has set a high standard for the position as a whole, and expects more from the group.
"We've got to get better, and they're professionals. That's the two things," Montgomery said. "We're gonna continue to challenge them. I think they know that we really still haven't hit the mark of what we are capable of hitting. I believe that collectively in our room, and collectively on offense, and it's time. It's time for us to start stacking these performances all together.
"They're ready to go, we'll be challenged this week, there's no question about it," Montgomery said. "But the hardest part of always getting better is the fact that consistency and details and lack of mental errors and just being locked in and taking care of the football, all those things are very important. So we'll work hard, we'll practice our ass off today and just continue to try to move forward.
"His biggest challenge this week is gonna be to make people miss on the second and third level. And that is a challenge, because it's how you get to the second and third level," Montgomery explained. "If we can get there clean, with his feet in place, square on defenders, he can make people miss, then a lot of times he is running so fast and our line is doing such a good job, they are always on an angle. So he can make one guy miss and maybe have a corner on an angle.
"It really makes me thankful for how blessed we are here. My heart is with them, what they're going through. A lot of people without power, a lot of people lost family members," Montgomery said. "Thank God I haven't lost anybody, haven't really had any horrific deals, but myself and Ben Johnson are definitely connected to, I'm connected to Cleveland County and he is directly connected to Asheville. So that means a lot to us to make sure that they're good.
