‘It was a good day’

St Brown is coming off a season in which he caught 115 passes for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s become one of the most consistently good receivers in the NFL and arguably the best slot receiver in the league. If Wednesday’s practice is any indication, we could be in for something special this year.

“It was a good day,” St. Brown said after practice. “Finally get to go against someone else, so that was a lot of fun. Just to go against someone else and compete was a lot of fun.”

It’s been no secret through the first three weeks of camp that Detroit’s defense has won more days than the offense. That hasn’t been lost on some veteran offensive players like St. Brown, but on Wednesday, Detroit’s offense looked just as dominant as they did last season when they were top in the league in scoring and second in total offense.

“Anytime you are executing, you’re catching balls, your run game is going, you’re protecting the quarterback and you’re scoring touchdowns it always looks good,” St. Brown said. “We haven’t watched the tape yet but from what I saw out here, it looked pretty solid.

“We feel like as an offense maybe this camp there has been some struggles for us as an offense. But I think that’s normal. You got new coaches and different moving parts and you’re going against a really good defense every day.

“Things can get tough. But for us as an offense, we know the ability that we have, the playmakers we have, the quarterback we have, the O-line, so it’s just a matter of time for us. Keep getting better and improving is the name of the game for us right now.”
