Quote:If the Lions pre-season game at Oakland last week is any indicator,  Blake Bortles will be seeing LB blitzes/ dogs between the Guards early and often.  The Lions had problems generating a pass rush with a 4 man front but when LB's Stephen Tulloch and DeAndre Levy came up the middle,  especially on the same play,  Matt Schaub took a beating.  I'm sure Gus Bradley and his Offensive Staff have spent considerable time this week preparing for a heavy doze of blitzes.   Knowing the Ravens coaching background of Lions new Defensive Coordinator Teryl Austin,   the blitzes can come in many different forms.   This will be a good test for both teams.

 

Yes.

 

The Lions are running a 4-3 again this year, aren't they?

 

I think a lot of blitzing between the interior three would be a very good test for the Jaguars, not only for Bortles but for our interior 3.

 

The only thing that would be better from a preseason prep perspective would be if the Lions were running a 3-4, because at least our first SEVEN (7) opponents are running 3-4 defenses.
