The Lions fans have turned on DC Aaron Glenn after another atrocious defensive half
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Earlier this week, Lions defensive coordinator was prominently mentioned as one of the hot potential head coaching candidates in the coming offseason. Based on the dismal performance of Glenn’s Detroit defense in the first half of the Week 4 game against the Seattle Seahawks, that notion seems awfully puzzling.
Detroit entered the game with the NFL’s worst scoring defense, giving up over 31 points per game in the first three weeks. Seattle’s heretofore underwhelming offense darn near matched that total at halftime. Geno Smith and the Seahawks ran and threw at will against Glenn’s defense in the first half.
Lions fans definitely took note of how bad the defense is playing. And they placed the blame squarely on Glenn.
Geno Smith’s stats so far today…
• 12 for 14
• 170 pass yards
• 40 rush yards
• 3 TDs
• 156.8 passer rating#Seahawks— NFL Stats (@NFL_Stats) October 2, 2022

I hope Aaron Glenn knocks his head coaching interviews out of the park this offseason.

I get he’s a rookie but how do you have that level of miscommunication after practicing with this team every day for the last four months

These #Seahawks receivers face tougher coverage in 7 on 7’s. #SEAvsDET

Defense is beyond embarrassing right now. Nothing is working.

You literally couldn’t have been more wide open than Noah Fant was on that play.
And even if lightning had struck and he had fallen down, there was nobody within 20 yards of Genius Smith.
Not great!

11 Lions defenders on the field, and every single one of them was at least 20 yards away from the chance at defending Noah Fant on that 1-yard touchdown throw.
Ford Field has gone completely silent.
Seahawks 24, Lions 9 (5:04 2nd)

Aaron Glenn is totally an NFL head coach. Totally.
