The Lions are promoting LBs coach Kelvin Sheppard to defensive coordinator, per @AdamSchefter

I may be biased as a lions fan, and I know schemes/play calling is crucial, however at the end of the day, the execution is carried out by the players. I think we will be just fine, love that we went with guys familiar with our system in house.

And to people saying our collapse needs to be studied, we had 16 hurt during playoffs, 22 at one point in the season. Mainly on defense. Where we were missing 2 out of our top 3 corners, our star edge. The fact we stayed competitive is an accomplishment in its own right.

You have Rex Ryan out there along Wink Martindale and you hire this NOBODY! Another early playoff exit for D-Town again next year!!

This feels like the eagles after their SB loss.
