Yesterday when the Lions were in obvious passing
Mode in the 2nd half, I was watching the push
Or lack of from the interior.
Trey Hendrickson has been as advertised.
But we cant continue to depend on him to
Get to the QB on a consistant basis.
Yeah he can beat the Sewells all day long off
The edge.that's not that hard.
But guys like Oghenjobi and Hill and Reader
Need to really start pushing that pocket back.
They looked so promising in the Vikings game
And Steelers game
But the last 3.games Im not seeing the consistant
Pass rush from the interior.
I have a feeling Trey is going to see alot more double teams going foward.
This defense can make money if the front 4
Can get home in obvious passing downs.
But it cant be the Hendrickson Show
Its inpossible to rely on him to put the QB on the ground
I think part of the plan was to play Hubbard, C. Sample, and Kareem inside on passing downs a lot, with Hendrickson and Ossai outside. With Ossai & Kareem hurt, Hubbard and Sample have had to play a ton of snaps outside instead of boosting the interior pass rush inside on passing downs. The run stopper guys have been playing on a lot of passing downs as a result (Reader, Tupou, Ogunjobi, etc).
