Looks like new Lions defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson is planning to make sure his unit puts pressure on the quarterback. "The fact is Henderson... is likely to run the most aggressive defense the Lions have seen in years, possibly since the days of Alex Karras and Joe Schmidt in the 1960s," this article says. "Henderson wants to find ways to get after the quarterback, even though the Lions are not blessed with a marquee pass rusher."

Most aggressive defense since the '60s teams? Sounds good, doesn't it? But can they make it work with the personnel that they have?

Nah, see simon, that's not where you make your money. You make your money trying to figure out how to actually GET to the quarterback with the pack of stiffs the Lions have on defense. Cause if he can go it, that'll be one heck of an impressive scheme.
