Lions DC Aaron Glenn happy with rookie Brodric Martin’s progress

Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is happy with rookie Brodric Martin’s progress after his Week 8 debut

Brodric Martin made his long-awaited NFL debut in the Detroit Lions’ win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The third-round rookie had been a healthy scratch for Detroit’s first seven games, but he got his chance in the Lions’ last game before the Week 9 bye.

Martin didn’t do a lot in his debut. The giant defensive tackle from Western Kentucky notched one tackle in 11 snaps. It’s still a start, and one that encouraged Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.

During his media session this week, Glenn was asked about his impression of Martin.

“I thought it was good to get him out there and get him in live action,” Glenn said of the big rookie. “We’re going to continue to work this player in. We said this from the beginning, it’s going to be a work in progress with this player, but he has all the skills that we look for in a D-lineman. It’s just a fact of him coming from where he came from now into the NFL, but he has continued to see these different plays that are coming at him, obviously in how he’s going to play these blocks and understand exactly what we’re trying to do as far as a D-line to continue to improve.

So, happy (with) where he’s at, going to continue to work with this player and it’s going to be good things with this player as the season progresses.”

Martin himself has acknowledged that pad level is an issue, one that Glenn still sees as an area where he can keep getting better.

“Hey, when you’re 6’6, it’s always going to be an issue, so. It has, it really has (improved),” Glenn said of Martin’s pad level. “His understanding – because he’s a smart player. His understanding of playing blocks, that’s the thing that’s different from this player because he didn’t see them in college, and now he’s seeing them from the different run schemes that you get, he’s able to play those now. So, I’m happy with where he’s at.”

Quick takeaways from the Lions’ Monday Night Football win over the Raiders

Post-game takeaways from the Lions win over the Raiders, including thoughts on Aaron Glenn’s defense, offensive mistakes, 3 stars of the game and more

Monday night’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders was a weird one for the Detroit Lions. It might have been the most dominant performance by the Lions all season in improving to 6-2, yet some critical mistakes prevented it from being a blowout on the scoreboard.

The Lions beat the visiting Raiders 26-14 on Monday Night Football, breaking out the new blue helmets. Detroit dominated everything but the scoreboard in the first home MNF game since 2018.

Here’s what I took away from watching the Lions rough up the Raiders in real-time.

Lions defense had the best pass rush game of any NFL team in the last five years

The Detroit Lions defense recorded the highest QB pressure rate by any team in a game since 2018 in win over the Raiders

Aaron Glenn dialed up a fantastic game plan to attack Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo and the Las Vegas Raiders offense. The Detroit Lions defensive coordinator was in his bag all night long in Monday night’s 26-14 win.

Glenn’s unit, coming off a lousy game in the Week 7 loss in Baltimore, had one of the most dominating performances by any NFL defense in years. The pass rush was the best by any team since 2018 in terms of generating pressure.

From Next Gen Stats,

“The Lions defense generated pressure on 71.4% of Jimmy Garoppolo’s dropbacks, the highest pressure rate by a defense in a game since 2018. Five different Lions defenders generated 3+ pressures. Garoppolo was sacked 6 times on the night.”

Defensive tackle Alim McNeill had six of those pressures and two sacks. Linebacker Alex Anzalone added two sacks and five pressures of his own, the same number as DE Aidan Hutchinson.

Garoppolo threw for 126 yards in completing just 10 of his 21 pass attempts. That lousy rate also reflected very well on the Lions’ defense, this time the coverage.

“The Lions defense also allowed the lowest completion percentage over expected (-20.1%) in a game this season. Garoppolo finished 10 of 21 for 126 yards & INT.

🔹 Jimmy G Comp Pct: 47.6%
🔹 Avg Completion Probability: 67.7%
🔹 Comp Pct Over Expected: -20.1%”

After the game, head coach Dan Campbell gave Glenn the game ball. He earned it with one of the best single games by any Detroit defense in the Super Bowl era.

An idea for fixing the Lions defensive woes against mobile quarterbacks

The Lions defense is a top-10 unit when they’re not playing dual-threat QBs. The key to stopping the horrible results when playing them might be hiding in plain sight.

There is a disturbing commonality with the Detroit Lions in their most recent losses. It’s one that has dogged defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for his entire era in charge of the Detroit defense.

Quarterbacks who can run give Glenn his Lions defense fits.

There’s a difference between a running quarterback and a quarterback who can run. Running quarterbacks tend to not be much of a problem because they want to run, or need to run to be effective. Think Daniel Jones of the Giants, Desmond Ridder in Atlanta or Justin Fields of the Bears. Detroit has handled that type of pretty well.

On Sunday, the Lions ran into the latter kind in Lamar Jackson — a great passer who also happens to be able to kill you with his legs, too. And that’s exactly what Jackson did, destroying the Lions with his passing ability and also his running prowess.

It was a similar outcome to how Jalen Hurts, Geno Smith (twice) and Josh Allen have lit up the Lions defense. They’re all accomplished passing QBs who also happen to be good runners. In those matchups, Detroit’s defense tends to get away from what has otherwise made them pretty successful, especially in 2023.

It feels like the Lions are indecisive and uneasy with their defensive assignments when playing the mobile passers. The linebackers are a half-count later to the ball in coverage; the EDGEs don’t rush the QB as aggressively, and the safeties are often trapped in between playing the run and pass. That was certainly true in the ugly loss in Baltimore.

The Lions don’t wear indecision well. They don’t play read-and-react all that well. When they’re not facing the passers who can run, they don’t show those traits or schematic style. Glenn’s defense attacks, often creatively and with excellent coordination between levels. The line knifes into gaps better. The LBs fill with confidence and speed to the point of attack. The corners play tighter to the line and aren’t peeking over their shoulders when running out in man coverage.

Here’s the radical thought: don’t worry about the quarterback run. Play defense the way that works well instead of changing things up schematically just because the QB might take off. Trust in Aidan Hutchinson, Alim McNeill and John Cominsky to make some plays before Hurts or Jackson gashes them for a 9-yard run on 3rd-and-10. Empower Derrick Barnes, Jack Campbell, Brian Branch, Tracy Walker and Alex Anzalone — the primary components of the run defense — to step up, too.

Will that surrender some big plays? Absolutely. But what’s more damaging, an 11-yard run by the quarterback or a 37-yard pass that exploits the defense waiting to stop the 11-yard QB run? Because that’s exactly what’s happening in these games.

I’d rather see the Lions play their brand of defense that works pretty well when not facing the likes of Jackson or Patrick Mahomes than get away from what works to try and limit what those MVP candidates might do. Interestingly, Glenn’s defense largely did this in the Week 1 win over Mahomes and the Chiefs. With some assistance from Chiefs WRs (literally) dropping the ball and no Travis Kelce, it worked pretty well.

A week later, indecision clouded the vision against Seattle. Smith, D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett lit up the less aggressive, less coordinated Lions defense. Forcing the defensive backs to worry about maybe having to come up and stop the QB run renders them much worse in coverage, that’s been proven time and again to Glenn’s troops. So, just maybe, don’t worry about it and play your normal game.

I don’t know if it will work. I also know that what Glenn and the Lions keep doing in those matchups isn’t working. It isn’t showing even marginal improvement. At worst, the changeup from tendencies might buy the defense a couple of early stops and give the Detroit offense a chance to get some momentum. If Jackson or Allen or Smith or Justin Herbert still beats the Lions, and they very well might, tip your cap to greatness and at least know you made them earn it.

Just an idea from someone tired of the insanity of asking an otherwise good defense to abandon why it’s successful just because the quarterback can both run and throw.

Why the Lions’ defense fell apart against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ passing game

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens demolished the Lions’ defense, which went under by going away from what Detroit does best.

Sunday’s matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions was supposed to be the most interesting schematic game of Week 7. You had the Ravens’ passing game, finally coming together under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, against an Aaron Glenn-led Lions defense that ranked third in Defensive DVOA behind only the Cleveland Browns… and the Ravens.

The only thing that played to type was Mike Macdonald’s Ravens defense shutting down Jared Goff and the Lions’ offense in Baltimore’s 38-6 win, but that’s a story for another time. The story here was what Lamar Jackson did to Glenn’s defense, especially in the first half.

Jackson completed 17 of 21 passes for 255 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 149.0 The Ravens also rushed 16 times in the first half for 100 yards and two more touchdowns, and Baltimore outgained Detroit, 355-97. One of those touchdown runs came from Jackson — it was this seven-yard score in which left tackle Ronnie Stanley blocked safety Kerby Joseph into the next area code.

Coming into this game, Glenn theorized that he’d have to contain Jackson in the pocket.

“We’re just going to play defense,” Glenn said last Thursday. “We’re going to play defense. So whatever that brings, that’s what we’re going to do. And our plan is to contain him. Our plan is to not let the ball go over our head and whatever we do as far as practice, that’s what we’re going to do in the game.”

It made sense in theory. Through the first six weeks of the season, Jackson had the 20th-most dropbacks in which he ultimately threw from the pocket, completing 107 of 151 passes for 1,071 yards, 581 air yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and a passer rating of 89.0. So, there were defensive opportunities — again, in theory.

What Glenn seemed to want to do in this game was to counter the Ravens’ run game with two things — base personnel, and five-man fronts. When the Lions do this, they’ll often have Alex Anzalone and Derrick Barnes as the off-ball linebackers, and Jack Campbell playing on the edge.

Coming into this game, the Lions had three linebackers on the field against opponent pass plays on 102 dropbacks, sixth-highest in the league. They had allowed 51 completions for 479 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception out of those looks. Against the run with three linebackers, Glenn’s defense had allowed just 189 yards on 59 carries — that 3.2 yards per attempt allowed tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for fourth-best in the league.

So, it was a “maybe” strategy against Baltimore’s passing game, and a “for sure” concept against the run game. Which is kind of how things played out.

Let’s get into how the Ravens countered Detroit’s base personnel in the passing game.

Lions pre-game mailbag: Getting ready for the Ravens

Lions pre-game mailbag: Getting ready for the Ravens and the trade deadline

Our Detroit Lions are 5-1 and are entering one of their toughest matchups on the year with the Baltimore Ravens on tap. Going on the road to Baltimore won’t be easy but the vibes are high in the Motor City right now. The Lions feel look like a team that can beat anyone so we’ll see what happens against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. With that, I wanted to open my Twitter to Lions fans to ask me anything for a pre-game mailbag prior to the Lions/Ravens tilt in week seven. Let’s dive into your questions!

Q: Who do you think the Lions keyed in today at Ohio State/Penn State? — @GodComplexion 

A: Love this question because there was so much talent in this game. Certainly, the Lions had their eyes on wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. It’s unlikely he ends up being selected by the Lions in the 2024 NFL Draft but crazier things have happened. Aside from him, they definitely were watching Kalen King from Penn State.

The talented cornerback is a Detroit native. He played high school football for Cass Tech and has been fantastic this year. Prior to this game, he had only given up 9 receptions for 93 yards this season. He seems like a potential first round corner that could fit the Lions.

Another top name is Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu. There’s a chance he’s the first offensive tackle selected next spring but if he’s not and there’s a run on other players, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lions targeted this long and powerful offensive tackle.

Lastly, the Lions should have definitely circled the name Adisa Isaac. The Penn State defensive end is listed at 6’4″ and 254 pounds. He’s got a blend of power and explosiveness to his game. If the Lions are looking for another edge rusher to pair with Hutchinson, this could be an underrated fit for them.

Q: All I hear is trade talk. There any realistic deals to be had for Holmes? — @legendjc13 

A: I love the speculation around the trade deadline. Most years, not much happens around the deadline. Recently, there’s been some deals that occur. The Lions have shown that with the Hockenson trade last season.

That said, I don’t see them making a trade for big names such as Brian Burns, Danielle Hunter or Davante Adams. We can just stop with that. I’d be surprised if the Broncos parted ways with Patrick Surtain II and I don’t think the Lions are interested in Jerry Jeudy.

That leaves a pool of players that could be damaged goods. However, if there’s any team that can get the most out of a player, it would be Detroit. Even if it’s for the second half of the season. If I had to guess on a player that could use a change of scenery, I’d say New York Giants cornerback Darnay Holmes.

During his tenure with the Giants, he’s been used sparingly and has only started 11 games over his four-year career. Currently, he’s on the final year of his four-year rookie contract. Going into this season, he took a pay cut to stay with the Giants. However, he’s only played 28 defensive snaps this season but he’s only given up two receptions so far. With Emmanuel Moseley being done for the year with a torn ACL, I wonder if the Lions would be interested in trying to add some depth to their secondary for the second half of the season.

Q: In your estimation, should the Lions get wins against the Ravens & Raiders to stretch the winning streak to 6 before the bye week? — @MrEd315

A: I do think the Lions win against the Ravens and the Raiders. They won’t be easy games by any means but I think the Lions can pull off wins in both games and enter their bye week with a 7-1 record.

Against the Ravens, the Lions obviously have to enter the mobility that Lamar Jackson has but if they can force him to make a few bad throws, it could be enough to force a turnover or two. Meanwhile, the Lions offense is clicking. It doesn’t matter who is on the field. They just get after it. I think Gibbs, LaPorta and Williams have strong performances against the Ravens.

Q: How will Glenn scheme for Jackson? — @JosephPanteluk

A: This is the million dollar question this week. It’s well known that the Lions struggle with more mobile quarterbacks. But the Lions showed what can happen if they can contain quarterbacks that can move around and extend beyond the pocket with their 21-20 victory over the Chiefs this season. Patrick Mahomes was held to 45 yards rushing and he only had 226 yards passing.

For Lamar Jackson, he’s only hit that passing yardage (over 226 passing yards) total twice this season. The Lions defense gives up 221 yards passing per game so if they can keep him in the pocket and limit his ability to run, the Lions should be able to find success on defense.

The key will be having defensive ends playing with patience and at the heels of the offensive line to help contain the quarterback. Meanwhile, the Lions will need a second level defender to be able to patrol the middle with the ability to come down and meet Jackson in space. Could it be Brian Branch? I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case. It’ll be tough but it’s manageable.

Q: Hey Russ, what do you think is the Lions biggest weakness? — @bdrfab

A: Really good question here and I’m going to go back to what I said during the summer. It was concerning when the Lions only carried two running backs on their roster. Regardless of how good the Bucs run defense was a week ago, we saw the drop off in talent with their backfield without Montgomery and Gibbs.

While I love what Craig Reynolds provides from short yardage to special teams, I think the Lions should have looked at adding another back to their roster in the off-season. They’ll run with what they have but with how run focused the Lions are, it’s somewhat concerning that Montgomery and Gibbs have both been banged up through six weeks. For that playoff push, the Lions will need that rushing attack. Let’s hope they can get healthy.

How Aaron Glenn’s evolution changed the Lions’ defense for the better

The Detroit Lions’ defense has engineered a major turnaround this season, and DC Aaron Glenn’s evolution is the main reason why.

In 2022, Aaron Glenn’s second season as the Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator, that defense finished 27th in DVOA — which was a step up from their ranking of 29th in 2021.

What a difference a season makes. Through the first six weeks of the 2023 season, the Lions rank third in Defensive DVOA, behind only the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens.

Better personnel has been part of the equation, but the Lions have also suffered their share of injuries. Really, it’s Glenn’s change of focus in coverage that has made the difference. Glenn was the New Orleans Saints’ defensive backs coach from 2016 through 2020, and under former defensive coordinator and current head coach Dennis Allen, the Saints are about pressure concepts and man coverage. The difference for the Saints is that they have had the players to tie pressure to coverage in ways other defenses might not.

Last season, per Sports Info Solutions, the Lions played the sixth-most snaps of man coverage against the pass in the NFL, allowing 110 completions on 153 attempts for 1,717 yards, nine touchdowns, five interceptions, and an opponent EPA of 10.51, 11th-worst in the league.

This offseason, Glenn obviously did some self-scouting, and put his players in better positions to succeed with different concepts. This season, the Lions have played the second-most snaps in zone coverage on pass plays behind only the Jacksonville Jaguars, allowing 102 completions on 153 attempts for 1,171 yards, one touchdown, four interceptions, and an opponent EPA of -0.73.

In this week’s “Xs and Os with Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar,” the guys discuss how Glenn’s evolution into different coverages has been a huge factor in his team’s defensive turnaround.

Lions DC Aaron Glenn updates the progress of rookie DT Brodric Martin

Lions DC Aaron Glenn updates the progress of rookie DT Brodric Martin, a 3rd round pick who has been a healthy scratch all season

The Detroit Lions raised some eyebrows back in April when they traded up in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft to select the relatively unknown Brodric Martin. The big defensive tackle from Western Kentucky was generally projected to be a late-round pick, which made it surprising to see the Lions aggressively target him.

It’s now raising eyebrows that Martin has been a healthy scratch in Detroit’s first five games. Considering the defensive line is regarded by many as a relative weakness, or at least was seen that way entering the season, it raises the other eyebrow with regards to Martin.

Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn did his best to defuse some of the harsh judgment on Martin. During his weekly press conference, Glenn was asked several questions about Martin, his progress and when we might see him on the field.

“Well, I can’t say exactly when he’s going to play, but I’ll tell you what, I like where’s at and I like how he’s improving,” Glenn said of Martin. “And that’s what we talk about with that player all the time, as far as his awareness, as far as how we play defense for the most part. Excited about that player still; I mean he’s still a big body that can move, so each week him getting the chance to go against our O-line is the best thing he can ever have.”

If that sounds similar to James Houston last year, you’re not mistaken. Houston went from the practice squad early on to being a flamethrowing sack machine late in his rookie campaign. Glenn carefully downplayed that comparison with Martin without exactly ruling out that it could happen again.

“Well, I don’t know about that. I think James Houston came out of nowhere to be honest with you,” Glenn stated. “We knew that he had talent, but man, it just – the rise that Houston had from going against our O-line, we were just talking about with Martin, was outstanding. So, we’re looking at it somewhat similar because he’s getting the chance to go against a good O-line and be able to practice those techniques that we’re teaching him.”

So where has Martin improved?

“Lateral agility for one, and he’s working after practice on that like every day. Alright, that’s the first thing; the second thing is hand placement. That’s something that’s been different for him on where he’s putting his hands. And just understanding exactly the way that we play defense,” Glenn enthused.

With the defensive line ahead of him all healthy entering the Week 6 weekend, it doesn’t look like Martin will play against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
