The Lions lost defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and traded for defensive tackle Haloti Ngata at the start of the league year, but Ngata says those two moves shouldn’t be viewed in tandem.
According to Ngata, the people who say he was brought in to replace Suh don’t really understand their roles in the Lions’ defense, and Ngata won’t actually do the same things that Suh did.
“That’s what people are just going to say. Going from one great player to another, people are automatically just going to say it. For me, I just think we’re totally different players.
