The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Lions have not announced the hiring, which was first reported by ESPN. Lombardi, the grandson of former Green Bay Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, has been an offensive assistant on Sean Paytons New Orleans staff since 2007. Adelaide are flying towards the finals after two crushing wins over cellar dwellers Essendon and Brisbane, but there is danger in enjoying a soft run into the finals.Having unleashed their attacking arsenal against the hapless Bombers and Lions to win by 82 and 138 points respectively, the Crows sit third on the ladder, just three percentage points behind Sydney and two games behind the Hawks after their most recent win over North Melbourne.On form, they should comfortably win their final three matches - against Fremantle at Domain Stadium, and the Power and Eagles at Adelaide Oval.Should they win all three, theres every chance this attacking powerhouse can secure a top-two finish or even possibly take home the minor premiership.Adelaides clinical ball use in transition ranks them No.1 for disposals per goal (23.6) and as the most prolific side this year, they also have the best percentage of scores once inside their forward 50 (52.8 percent of the time).Of course it a positive to lock away wins and finish as high as possible with good percentage, and thats exactly what theyve been able to do. But to have too many easy games in the run into the finals may not help their premiership cause.Can you peak too early as a football team?You certainly want to be on edge heading into September. As a team, you have to be so ruthless and then bring your absolute best in both effort and execution in the finals. And thats what Don Pyke has been all about, making sure his team puts the foot on the throat of opponents - as seen by their performances against Essendon and Brisbane in the past fortnight.They also tookk the opportunity to rest Sam Jacobs and Scott Thompson in recent weeks, which is a good thing; but in terms of managing players, its now even more of a balancing act with the post-Round 23 bye in place this year.ddddddddddddTheres no doubt Adelaide are playing sensational football but its the evenness in contribution across the ground which makes them so hard to contend with.Unheralded players such as Rory Atkins, Jarryd Lyons, Mitch McGovern and Jake Lever are just a couple of examples of the many Crows who have improved across the season to help their established stars. Of course theyre deadly up forward with great versatility in their mix of agile bigs and electrifying smalls, which means curbing their influence comes down to pressure and supply.One thing Pyke and his coaches must look out for is training standards. They have to be absolutely ruthless on the track and in reviewing games.When a team has won 10 of the past 11 games like the Crows have, the coaches often take the chance to jump on the little things by drilling into the training standards or any signs of selfishness bobbing up in games. They cannot afford to let their mindset and approach to their football slip in any way because that complacency wont stand up under the intensity of finals football.Itll be a fascinating run to the finals and Im really bullish about Adelaides prospects. The way in which they tackle this softer run will play a big part in what they achieve in the real stuff come September. ' ' '
