The Lions have a great LB crew (Foote, Ernie Simms and Julian Peterson) and a good front line (Grady Jackson and Sammie Hill are too huge to move). Add that Schwartz is a great defensive strategist and coach, and I see them as a much improved defense. If they would play offense like the SKins (ultra-conservative passing and running behind Jansen) they should win a lot of 9-7 games.
Hopefully not this week, though. Let's hope they air it out and try to be aggressive so Stafford can add to his 5 picks.
