In the smallest bit of fairness to him, his defense was 3rd in takeaways, which is leaps and bounds above the Bengals' t-30th. (That was one thing that became obvious Paulie G couldn't coach, as he lost Zimmer's players and started drifting away from simply copying his scheme, the turnovers plummeted.)

Lions fans opinion :

Quote:Y'all won't be disappointed. We've been short of talent, sure, but we haven't had any front 7 talent developed.

Austin is a secondary whisperer; our CB that converted to a SS (Quandre Diggs) was looking like a pro bowler towards the end of the year; y'all already know about Slay and Quin.

Our front 7 is in the midst of a rebuild right now. All year, it consisted of: rookie but stud MLB (Jarrad Davis), solid starting OLB that has peaked and isn't good in coverage (Tahir Whitehead), and rookie 4th-round pick OLB (Reeves-Maybin); an injured Ziggy Ansah, Haloti Ngata for only a few games, a bargain-bin backup DT forced into the DT1 role (Akeem Spence), and a rotating door of backups on the ends (Anthony Zettel, Cornelius Washington, UDFAs).

Paired with some talent in the front 7, he can take a defense far. The 2014 Lions, which featured Suh, a healthy Ansah, Nick Fairley, Devin Taylor,/George Johnson on the DL, DeAndre Levy (Pro Bowl year OLB), Stephen Tulloch (solid starting MLB), and Tahir Whitehead (solid starting OLB as mentioned above), and a secondary complete with a year-2 Darius Slay, pro-bowler Glover Quin, Rashean Mathis, and James Ihedigbo...
