Campbell says scheme, personnel changes on deck for Lions' defense

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — After the Detroit Lions' defense got ransacked at home by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, capping a horrific four-game start to the season for the unit, changes are on the horizon.

No, the team isn't considering firing or demoting coordinator Aaron Glenn, but coach Dan Campbell acknowledged scheme and personnel adjustments are on the way, even if he understandably wasn't eager to provide details on the internal discussions that are still ongoing.

"(Glenn) and I are still working through that," Campbell said. "Us and the defense, we’ve been going through that and had the team meeting, so I’m not totally through with all that, but I know we’re going to need to move some personnel around. That’ll be one part of it, and then, certainly, look at calming things down and simplifying schematically. Those will be two of the biggest changes that I think that we’re going to need to make."
