Damn, that d line is gonna be tough

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Damn. Nice get. No long term ramifications.

I like it

 

[mhughes0021]

nice depth on the dline...be interesting to see where he plays. Flowers and Hand might be a rotation now with Daniels opposite. Ashawn rotating in for snacks and Daniels when needed. Alot of options across the front 3.

 

[gotime909]

Apparently he took less for the chance to stick it to GB. He's already high on my list of favorite players.

The #Lions will enter 2019 with....
The #1 (Harrison), #5 (Robinson) graded run defenders
And...
The #7 (Hand), #9 (Daniels) graded pass rushers
Among interior defenders in 2018. That?s a potent and balanced D-Line.
PFF

He joins...
Trey Flowers: 89.7 overall grade (2018)
Damon Harrison: 91.9
A'shawn Robinson: 89.8
& Da'Shawn Hand: 87.4
...along the Lions' defensive front.
PFF

Earlier this offseason, PFF's Billy Moy highlighted how the Lions' defensive line should already be a much-feared unit heading into the 2019 season.

After a complete turnaround, the Detroit Lions' defensive line should be a much-feared unit heading into the 2019 season.
PFF April 2019.

Any Guards that face the #Lions in 2019 should be on high alert
When lined up over Guard since 2016 (rank/OVR, min 350 snaps):
#9 D. Harrison- 90.1 (92.1 RD, 2nd)
#11 T. Flowers- 89.3 (85.6 PR, 7th)
T-#20 A. Robinson- 80.2
#22 M. Daniels- 79.9
On the other ?hand?, rookie star Da?Shawn Hand (in limited snaps) was strongest elsewhere along the line.
Over the Center: 94.0 OVR
Over the Tackle: 87.8 OVR

I didn't think he was even in play for us. WOW!

 

[grandy]

Gonna be a talented and fresh d-line, I like the approach.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

I didn't think he was even in play for us. WOW!

3rd and 10

We line up Flowers, Hand, Daniels and Okwara/Kennard and bring Davis off the edge on a blitz.

Good luck with that opposing O.....who do you double?

D could be really good this year. Really good.

 

[kdp1980]

Quin is approaching this season like it's do or die, absolutely loving this offseason

 

[turok]

Damn, that d line is gonna be tough

As could the Bears and Vikes....ARod might not last through the season.

Had to read the Pack fans reactions, was mainly the usual but unrelated Lions dissing, but you could tell that it was b/c they know that the Packers could be looking up from the bottom of the division later this upcoming season. One posted that the Lions were where players' careers go to die, but as we know, that ain't so true anymore.(Van Noy, Suh, Fairley, Avril, Tate, Ebron...)

 

[tomdalton22]

Should be a good d-line. The defense wasn't too bad last year as far as giving up yards. 10th overall in yards given up. They were 16th in points allowed.

The offense, and Stafford, are the reason for the 6-10 season. 24th in yards and 25th in points per game and good old Matt was 25th in QB rating.

 

[johnny2x2x]

This is a surprising signing and I love it. Wow. The D line is loaded.

I wonder if he still thinks that. Nonetheless it was a wasted year and now injured last two season. Of course.
