A Defensive Tackle Demanding Double Teams
Even though the Lions lost Ndamukong Suh, they still have a defensive tackle demanding double teams in Haloti Ngata.
He’s Ngata Suh (pardon the pun). Ngata did get pushed around a lot on Sunday, but it took two linemen each play to do it. There wasn’t the penetration or splash plays Suh provided for the Lions, but with this being Ngata’s first time out on the field after missing training camp and the preseason to a hamstring injury, he should look better and better as the season continues.
Having a defensive tackle demanding double teams should help open up things for the rest of the defense. Expect Jason Jones, Ziggy Ansah, who got in there for a sack along with Phillip Hunt, and others to take advantage.
