Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn presided over a unit that played about as poorly as a team could against the run in Detroit’s 37-23 loss in Carolina on Christmas Eve. Glenn didn’t shy away from stating the obvious in his weekly press briefing on Thursday.
“Obviously, not a good week for us defensively, and I’m talking about defensively overall,” Glenn said. “That’s in the run game and the pass game, but most noticeably in the run game and execution, technique, assignment, just a number of things involved in that situation, and we talked about them.”
