Yeah - their lack of team speed on defense was the most jarring part of that game.
They just didn't have any wheels out there at all. Anzalone had some speed coming out of college back before the injuries took it. Joseph times well but doesn't seem to play fast. Campbell, for all the "See the Lions were right to take a RB and LB in the 1st round!" stuff, looked pretty awful.
They just don't have much talent at all on defense. I mean really, John Cominsky is a starter for you? Guy couldn't see the field for an AWFUL Falcons defense but he's gonna get 700 snaps in Detroit? I had no idea Tyson Alualu was even still in the league. I have no idea why - he's been terrible pretty much his entire career.
That defense is Hutchinson, McNeil, Branch and a pile of dicks.
