Lions’ offensive line: Improvement comes in technique

Allen Park — Lions coach Jim Caldwell said the primary focus during the team’s bye week is to get back to health.

But not far behind on the to-do list is using the extra time to get the offensive line’s act together.

The unit was a mess in Sunday’s 52-38 loss to the Saints due to a rash of injuries that compounded its disastrous performance, which featured five sacks and an alarming rate of hits on an already banged-up Matthew Stafford.

Over the last three games, the Lions have surrendered 17 of their league-high 23 sacks.
