There's nothing more exciting in football than a well executed trick play. Benedict may be considered by some as a master, but he crafted this skill under Coach Campbell who is arguably the brains behind its revival in Detroit
Let's face it, trick plays are in Campbell's DNA (along with his knack for almost always going for it on 4th down). There's a huge risk involved with successfully executing a trick play and the necessary ingredients include having an elite QB, lots of speed and outstanding OLine play. Two outta three ain't bad and this years OLine will hopefully rise from last years ashes and help the Lions hit the trifecta
There's a lot of moving parts happening with trick plays and everyone needs to execute their assignments in order for them to be successful. The fact that the Lions have done it before with similar personnel should give fans confidence that they can do it again
What's really mind blowing is flipping Penei from RT to LT is likely going to open up the trickery even more than it was before. Sewell is a generational talent and his promotion to the lead OLine position of manning the strong side (LT) of the formation rather than the weak side (RT) and more importantly protecting Goff's blindside after the snap
Penei has the athleticism to be a triple threat on any given play. He can bulldoze opponents, catch passes and/or pass the ball which adds all sorts of scoring possibilities for this Lions offense. So not only looking forward to an even bigger year from Penei, but also expecting a lot more scoring and trickery with this offense
