[kalinecountry]

Biggest takeaway from the Lions' loss to the Raiders on Friday night (and early Saturday morning on the east coast): When it mattered in the first half, Detroit failed to create any pressure on Oakland's quarterbacks.
Yes, the Lions were without Ezekiel Ansah and defenses don't exactly blitz much or bring any exotic calls in the preseason, but the lack of any disruption in the Raiders' backfield is a major cause for concern. It also confirms one of the bigger holes on the roster following Detroit's 2018 offseason.
The Lions should be better there once Ansah comes back and the preseason is the preseason for a reason. But the Lions should have some concerns considering the lack of a pass rush or interior rush pressure was a big-time concern throughout 2017.
