Lions' burning question: Is there hope on defense?
By: Vinnie Iyer
Posted: June 10, 2008
The Detroit Lions are undergoing a big schematic change, shifting away from the inconsistent pass-happy offense of former coordinator Mike Martz to a conservative, efficient run-oriented attack that is more in the image of old-school head coach Rod Marinelli.
The problem is, as much as the offense was mistake-, sack- and giveaway-prone the past few seasons, the bigger, more impending problem for the team is defense.
The Lions finished last in the NFL in both yards allowed (377.6) and points allowed (27.8) per game last season.
