>>The Lions are eighth in scoring defense, ninth in rush defense and 10th in total defense, their worst rankings since joining the conference in 1993. "We were hoping not to give up as many big plays," Bradley said. "Take away the big plays, and I think we're playing all right. We have new guys in the secondary. We knew some of that might be a problem. But I didn't think we would be giving up as many big plays. "I just look at it and say, 'Gee, if we eliminate the big play.' One thing is inexperience. They have to understand that there's only five or six plays in a game that truly make a difference, and you have to concentrate every play. And our concentration on every play has not been where it needs to be to be a good defense." Because of injuries, Bradley has used two walk-ons at linebacker for much of the season, and his two safeties are first-year starters. Simple fundamentals, such as tackling, have been a problem area as well. "We've made progress," Bradley said. "One of the areas where we're still struggling is we're still missing tackles. That's one thing we can't afford to do."<< Duh, big plays is the sign of a crappy defense. Missing tackles has been a multi season issue..Plus playing the two Rudy's at LB plus your buddy Branch. This is so pathetic. We're 8 games into the season. We've earned those stats.
