Detroit Lions plan to use Jahmyr Gibbs as bell-cow running back

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced that Jahmyr Gibbs will take on the role of bell-cow running back for the team. Gibbs, who showcased his versatility last season, is expected to receive a significant workload going forward. The Lions' strategy marks a shift from their previous approach, which emphasized splitting carries with David Montgomery to prolong the longevity of both players. The decision raises questions about whether the team can balance Gibbs' increased touches with his ability to perform effectively in the playoffs. A discussion centered around this strategy is set to take place this week on the PODcast.
