The Defense: Offsetting the loss of Suh
It doesn’t matter if you’re the New England Patriots or the Jacksonville Jaguars, losing a player of Ndamukong Suh’s caliber hurts and it hurts a lot. However the Lions are a team that’s in very good position to maybe not totally replace Suh’s production but adapt to it.
Newly signed defensive lineman Haloti Ngata won’t replicate what Suh brought to the table but he’s not slouch either. Keep in mind Suh’s arguably the best defensive lineman in the game today and his only replacement is himself. Ngata however should do a fine job plugging up that middle not having to worry as much on other aspects considering a strong supporting cast.
That strong supporting cast includes Ziggy Ansah and Jason Jones off the edges and Tyrunn Walker at the left defensive tackle spot.
