Jones believes that the return of key players and the emergence of younger talent will bolster the team’s performance.

Stark Difference Between Lions' John Morton, Ben Johnson Explained by RB David Montgomery
The Detroit Lions' offense has suddenly become a media darling again after new offensive coordinator John Morton's team racked up three consecutive thirty-plus point performances in three consecutive wins.
The Lions started the streak with a win over former team offensive coordinator Ben Johnson's Chicago Bears and rode that momentum into a road win over the Baltimore Ravens followed by a home win over the Cleveland Browns last week at Ford Field.
On Tuesday, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown shared an interview with running back David Montgomery on Detroit's offensive changes including the stark difference between Morton and Johnson that may surprise some fans.
Montgomery Shares His Thoughts
Montgomery was asked by Amon-Ra St. Brown about his thoughts on Morton vs. Johnson.
"I think they just different...Obviously, they're different coaches, but um, I think Ben was more conservative in a sense of, like how he talked to us," Montgomery said.
"You knew when Ben was hot and when he was not, but when Ben was installing plays, he was coaching us," the Lions' RB added.
"Bro, no (expletive) when Johnny (Morton) be installing plays, I feel like buddy be cussin' it up," Montgomery said about the Lions' new offensive leader.
He added that Morton "smacks the (expletive) Power Point board hard as hell" and is generally much calmer at the halftimes of games, as St. Brown's profanity laced video reached 17,000 plus views as of Wednesday morning.
Lions Hit the Road to Face Burrow-Less Bengals
Morton's explosive offense will be put to the test against the Bengals this coming Sunday in Cincinnati with Jake Browning taking over from the injured Cincinnati star Joe Burrow.
The Lions have the secondary, linebackers and defensive line to make Browning's life miserable along with the offense to dash coach Zac Taylor's hopes from the opening kickoff.
St. Brown and Montgomery could once again play starring roles in a game that has the makings of a Lions blowout written all over it.
