Can the Lions’ defense get better despite the loss of its best player, Ndamukong Suh? Cornerback Rashean Mathis thinks so.
“That’s definitely the plan,” Mathis told the Detroit Free Press. “Anything other than that wouldn’t be us. It wouldn’t be what we’re building for. Like I said, we started something but we know that consistency has to carry on. That’s what the off-season is for: trying to fill in those gaps or even places that we were good at, getting better and those things as well. That’s what our scouts are for, that’s what the coaches coach for and that’s what we train for, to be better than we were last year.
