levi being constantly hurt and now paschal being hurt is killing them. penisini retiring too.
teams ran all ovet them last year and this game didnt make anyone feel better about stopping that trend.
and the linebackers inability to hit the right gap or tackle also killed them. on the first drive barnes has the rb dead to rights in the hole and misses the tackle. boom, first down.
i'm not really advocating for roquan because he's too expensive, but he makes that play and the lions are off the field. i like rodriguez, but he is really small and its highly unlikely a 6th round pick becomes a difference maker at lb.
