Honest question. We used to dog out Matt Patricia and his DCs for their low blitz rate, only rushing 3 or 4 so many times it got comical, pass rush win rate, the lack of total team sacks, the lack of QB pressures and hurries, etc. Fans here on this board and across the Lions universe were rightfully harsh on Patricia for his piss poor, ineffective pass rush.
So why do Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn get a pass for their defensive coaching and schemes when their blitzing and ability to get at the QB is nearly as bad? Sure, they're 8-3 and Patricia could only dream to have that type of record. But when you compare the raw stats, our current defense under Glenn is barely better in this category than it was under the previous regime of Poncho Villa.
