Israel Idonije: Main role on Detroit Lions is to stop run

Idonije told SiriusXM NFL Radio that is exactly the plan the Lions have for Cheap Air Max 2009 him.


"I think the focus is first and second down, to be on the end," Idonije recently said, via MLive.com. "Number one, just stop the run. In that the 4-3 style defense, stopping the run is the first focus. After that, whether it's Cheap Air Max 2011 inside on passing situations, or we're going to do something where I'm flexed outside in the (wide) nine to get after it from there."


Playing the wide-nine defensive scheme has led to the Lions' defense being gashed air max 2011 in the gaps, especially noticeable on wham and trap plays. Idonije and Jones have more potential to read these plays than young, pass-rush oriented players such as Willie Young and rookie Ezekiel Ansah.
