The Lions defense has yielded some big numbers, especially in week 1 against Atlanta. Though, it should be noted that a lot of the Packers' points came when Kitna threw pick-6s. Getting pressure on QBs can make up for coverage problems. But the Lions aren't getting pressure on the QB.
What happened to that DE you drafted out of Hawaii a couple of years ago, in the second round? And is Redding get any pass rush? He had a good year the other year, which got him that new contract.
