New Lions offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi believes that Matthew Stafford has the makings of a great quarterback but admitted that he needs help with his footwork in order to become a more effective passer. Speaking at a press conference Friday, Lombardi said he watched all of Stafford's interceptions and walked away knowing he's not an interception machine but rather a guy who just needs to work on his technique.
"Every quarterback can tighten up his footwork," Lombardi said.
Stafford had 19 interceptions last year and 51 total over the last three seasons. His completion percentage has dropped over each of the last three seasons as well.
