After the Lions promoted Isa Abdul-Quddus to a starting role and moved James Ihedigbo to the bench, they began to see a noticeable improvement from the back end of their defense, as Kyle Meinke of MLive.com observes. Abdul-Quddus is not as physical as Ihedigbo, but he covers much more ground and has established himself as a quality option in the team?s secondary, particularly in light of the recent injury to Glover Quin. Adbul-Quddus, who signed a one-year deal with Detroit last year, may be putting himself in line for a multi-year pact this offseason.

Gold. Not much of an apology.

Gold. Not much of an apology.

I'm still in favor of a constitutional amendment that lets any Lions fan punch that man in the mouth any time he says the words "Detroit", "Lions", or "football".

I think he picked the wrong guy though. Even though he's across from Ngata, Ziggy makes this defense go.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the D has improved the more Ngata has seen the field.......and Mathis has come off of it.

Maybe. I only get to watch National games. Mathis being gone was big help.

As posted in a separate thread;
Having been placed on IR with the designation to return in September, Lions cornerback Alex Carter won?t be activated to the 53-man roster and will remain on IR for the rest of the year, tweets Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com. Carter, selected in the third round by Detroit back in May, will have to wait until 2016 to make his NFL debut.
