Definitely believe AG gone get us in the Top 10 defense this year!!! Let’s Go Coach 🦁🏆

[@marktristanviguri7308]

Not running that lame Saints Blitz scheme he won't 😅🤣😂

[@garysuper1582]

He Better!

[@scottjones1109]

Prepare yourself for a defense in the top 5. Last year's holdovers are young & will be improved. The free agents brought in are significantly better than those we depended upon last season. And I think these two rookie CB's will shine too.

U can tell how violent this defense played even with the horrible back end...the film showed ferocity and violence. That is COACHED my friend. A.G. and Dan are the architect's of that.

Everytime AG talks, he seems like he's a head coach...i want to keep AG forever but man, how this man is not a head coach is crazy! Go Lions!

[@bb-sd6di]

Jack Campbell is my prediction for breakout player of the year for the lions

[@marktristanviguri7308]

Hopefully Jack sees better and doesn't get ran over 3-5 yards down field this year. Nobody hits the hole faster or tackles better than Malcolm Rodriguez. What a waste of talent. The genius that is Aaron Glenn continues. Did you see Arnold or Rakestraw on the field today? Both Dan and Glenn said they played very little. This is a huge problem that's not going away.

@@marktristanviguri7308 So you think you're smarter with more football knowledge & savvy than Dan Campbell & Aaron Glenn? Inevitably know-it-all's like you are, in fact, highly insecure individuals who try to hide their lack of confidence behind the kind of critical bravado you displayed in your post.

[@alschbachb]

@@marktristanviguri7308 he’s going to be able to run what we saw at the end of the year and in some of the playoffs, but we will be able to blitz more and put a lot more pressure on the opposing offense with our new cb room, espically with Davis’s man to man abilities.

[@RialtosFinestBullz]

Let’s go AG💪

[@craigbaker9252]

This is the culture change before our eyes. From Sheila, Rod, Chris, Brad, Dan. The entire organization is on a positive, hold me accountable, don’t go negative, be honest but do NOT throw your teammates under the bus team. This is successful leadership. Every coach that takes the mic ( and player ) has the same mindset. Focus on the positive, acknowledge the negative, fix it and move on. Cya at Ford Field. One Pride.

Tough secondary this year. CJGJ and Cam would not of made this team. Good thing they are gone

[@John-cj3qs]

Let’s not get crazy here, they would have made the team (and love the CJGJ took the plunge to come here first regardless of result) BUT yes so excited for this secondary going to be incredibly different with the caliber of players and depth we have

[@MichaelDevereaux-zr3pt]

@@John-cj3qs CHGJ is an elite player, but not a team player. If he hadn’t gotten injured, he would have helped us a lot for one year, but he would have moved on anyway because he just doesn’t fit in the locker room as a Lion.

[@John-cj3qs]

@@MichaelDevereaux-zr3pt agreed - I guess I was thinking from a talent perspective I’d still say CJGJ is more talented than Robertson and 2 unproven rookies (as of now). That can obviously change. CJGJ had a lot of flaws with his antics and yes wasn’t going to get a 2nd contract here, but appreciate that a well known good player took the shot on Lions versus going to a contender. Good perception for the organizational turn around. And just FWIW - Sutton was never meant to be CB1, he’d be a good CB2/3 if he didn’t turn out to be a scumbag

[@gridirongodsNetwork]

Love how much the Wolverines and Lions mirror each other. Is this the year of the Michigan sweep? Natty and Lombardi in-state?

[@jamescain7287]

Theory - At the deadline, the NE Patroits are in dead last in the AFC, Lions have a game or two up on everyone in the NFC, so we make deal to trade for Matt Judon to give us a little bit more pass rush fire power for the SB run!

[@TLowCTI]

I like AG and that the rush defense improved a lot all the way to second best rushing defense, but i hope the pass defense can improve and be a top 10 pass defense.

[@jamiekirbitz586]

Super excited for Davenport to get healthy and be a big part of this Defense as well. If he's healthy and can fit this scheme he's gonna be a menace. Maybe a breakout player. No doubt

[@1450JackCade]

"everybody we wants sacks," 😂

[@p-dub7422]

I can see and feel his excitement. He knows that his defense and ability to do man coverage has improved significantly from last year. Last year their WR's got burned in every game that they played an excellent receiver. Look at the Vikings and Cowboys as an example. Two hundred plus yards and gave up big plays. If the defense makes a significant upgrade and the offense takes another step they should be better as a team.

Veteran Pass Rusher Emmanuel Ogbah is only 30 years old. The Lions should take a flyer on him. If he fits this move could help the Lions get into the Super Bowl

[@AmyWest-dk1tu]

You are true Aaron Glenn sometimes it good to blitz but I want to ask who people think who is better James Houston or Marcus Davenport

[@soderr6616]

Different players. James Houston designated pass rusher. Davenport can play the run

[@Dogasaurus]

Not an AG fan. Fired pretty much an entire staff twice & scapegoated Pleasant who has earned rave reviews from players, colleagues, and bosses since his return to The Rams. Just got made assistant HC, irrc. RZ defense improved dramatically at the end of last year but was that CJGJ and/or John Fox ? I just don't see the same progression/coherence in approach that I saw early from the offense, even before the wins starting coming. Not sayin' it's been all AG's fault - lots of injuries, failed injury comebacks, and overall lack of impact talent. But if DET is held back by the defense this year without a rash of injuries.....

[@marktristanviguri7308]

The D-Line coach is great yet they can't sack QBs, so confusing.

[@ryansmukala7618]

……we just hired him this offseason genius. We had a different one last season. You sound miserable from the spam of comments you made on this video. Might I suggest following a different team?? Maybe get a different hobby??

Lions were 32nd in the NFL in giving up passing yards last year. How is that possible?.

[@grmacs95]

Bad corners, no pass rush, good rush defense, and leading a lot of games.

[@dietretlaw272]

more man coverage is going to leave more vacancies for QBs to run.... :/ and we play a heck of a lot of mobile QBs this year.. 14-ish of our games are against guys who can make you pay.

[@AmyWest-dk1tu]

Marcus Davenporch be healthy

[@marktristanviguri7308]

Great question is AG going to bench draft picks #1 & #2? Brad can draft them doesn't mean AG will use them. Glenn made the Lions best tackler Malcolm Rodriguez play FB and ended the Lions best pass rushers streak of a sack a game making James Houston cover TEs after watching James destroy Justin Fields in the open field. It's why Houston didn't sack Aaron Rodgers in his last game at Lambeau in 2022.

[@miked4973]

AG is the weak link. This team will go as far as he allows them to

[@marktristanviguri7308]

The problem is AG/DC are old school and prefer to start big old vets to beat on you vs. Brad's speedy draft picks. This is a huge internal struggle between AG/DC and the Villain and why Brad drafted corners with picks #1 & #2 forcing AG/DC to start one of them. Are y'all blind? AG/DC just told you they didn't let the draft picks play, hint, hint.

[@innerspace56]

Yeah really looks like a struggle when Brad Holmes is screaming with excitement in that elevator before that playoff game. 12-5 Division Champs and this dude Mark is coming in here trying to plant seeds made of moldy cheese. Smells like cheese in here, you from Wisconsin?

[@user-yj8te1te1y]

Campbell said that Arnold and Rakestraw were being held out due to slight injuries. Don't get it twisted, the best guys will play. Rodriguez is proof of that in his rookie year. Also, Glenn didn't make him play FB.

[@Chris-de2qh]

Arnold and Rakestraw are anything but speedy. 19th and 23rd respectively vs other corners at the combine. So they must have something else. If you want to start criticizing Brad for his draft picks then you haven't been paying attention the last few years. Gibbs didn't get many touches the first half of the season but was a weapon in the playoff run.

[@marktristanviguri7308]

Aaron Glenn runs the Saints lame Blitz scheme. This is year 4 now and it's obvious that it doesn't work unless you're dirty like Drew Brees Saints were. Remember Bounty-Gate? Saints cheap shot Kurt Warner into retirement and late hit Vikings QB Brett Farve all day on their way to the Super Bowl.

[@marktristanviguri7308]

Go back to 2022 late season vs. Panthers. Every time Lions blitz Anzalone & Rodriguez the Panthers ran for huge gains once they got past the line. That system does not work. That loss cost Lions the playoffs.

[@marktristanviguri7308]

How is it possible that the Lions gave up the most passing yards in the entire NFL? With all that talent? I'm sorry Glenn has been killing the Lions every year. His first year he played prevent to lose every game. Remember 11 seconds left vs. Ravens w/the ball in Lamar's hands and then a 67 yard FG for the loss? Lions should have started 1-2 back in 2021.
