How do the Detroit Lions keep their rhythm coming out of bye week?

What did Campbell come out of the bye thinking he needed to improve the most?

He kept some of the overall themes they talked about as a coaching staff over the bye week close to the vest, but he did mention some communication issues between himself and the coaching staff.

“Communication on my part,” Campbell said. “Overall communication. Particularly with the staff is where I can be much better.”

That’s as far as he elaborated. The one glaring mark for the Lions in that regard through four games was the end-of-half miscommunication between the offense and the field-goal unit against Tampa Bay Week 2 that cost them a chance at a field goal.

What are Campbell’s early impressions of Dallas?

It’s early in the game-planning process for Sunday, but some schematic differences between current Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer and the defense the Lions faced in Week 17 last year under then-Dallas DC and current Washington head coach Dan Quinn has stood out to Campbell.

Last year they saw a lot of nickel and dime and multiple fronts. So far this season, Dallas plays more match personnel, according to Campbell, which has always been Zimmer’s style.

“A little less chaotic,” Campbell said. “But more sound, if you will. Just when you’re watching it as an offense. I’m not saying what Dan Quinn did wasn’t sound, that’s not what I’m saying, it’s just when you look at it from an offense, it’s a little more sound and structured.”
