Aidan Hutchinson’s training camp takeover drives Lions to enact unique new rule
NY Post
Aidan Hutchinson is ruining the Lions’ practices by being too good.
Lions reporter Tim Twentyman wrote that the edge rusher has been so dominant for much of training camp that head coach Dan Campbell has had to adopt the “Hutch rule” to allow the offense to get its reps in unimpeded.
When Hutchinson beats his man off the line in team periods and has a likely sack, which has been a frequent occurrence, the coaches don’t blow the whistle as they typically would and instead allow the offense to continue the rep.
“If you can’t block Hutch and he’s going to blow every practice up, then that’s not good either,” Campbell said Wednesday.
By the sounds of it, the offense wouldn’t be getting much work in if Campbell didn’t implement the Hutch rule.
While disruptive for the offense in training camp, Hutchinson’s dominance is certainly a welcomed sight for the Lions, as he’s coming off a gruesome season-ending leg injury in which he broke his tibia and fibula.
