Drastic changes likely will not be in store for the Detroit Lions secondary after the dismissal of defensive pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant on Monday. Instead, Lions coach Dan Campbell said he’s looking for something simpler.
“I want to see us all on the same page,” Campbell said Monday while announcing Pleasant’s firing. “And if we’re going to get beat it’s because we’re – maybe we’re getting outrun or we’re not quite in phase, but at least we’re kind of there. We got to cut our mentals in half.”
The Lions (1-6) rank last in the NFL in points and yards allowed per game, and persistent mental errors have been a big reason why.
