'Deep Dive' Is Coming on Lions' Defense, Including Potential Staff Changes
The Seattle Seahawks came into Sunday's tilt with the Detroit Lions only having scored a total of 47 points.
Against the Detroit Lions, the Seahawks tallied 48 points, including a defensive touchdown, when quarterback Jared Goff tossed a pick-six early in the game.
"We lack confidence. That's very clear to see," Campbell said. "That's one element to it. We lack a lot of confidence. Certainly, to do that, you have to have production in games and have success and stop -- stop your opponents, get some stops, things of that nature. So, we're lacking some confidence in areas. And, there again, we're still making errors, which that falls into our boat as coaches. That's on us."
Speaking with reporters after a tough 48-45 loss in which the defense accomplished very little, if anything, Campbell expressed he would be conducting a "deep dive" into what is ailing the defense.
Similarly, Campbell conducted an examination of the offense at the bye week last year, and the results were quite fruitful.
A reporter followed up and asked Campbell, "You said you'll look at everything. Would that be up to and including staff changes or shuffling at any point?"
Campbell expressed, "I'm going to look at everything."
Detroit's second-year head coach will likely focus on the scheme, the talent on the roster and also take a look at how defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has been operating, since the performances have not gotten significantly better the last couple of weeks.
“I think anytime you lose, it’s a (expletive) feeling," Jeff Okudah told reporters postgame. "Especially when you know that we have the ability to win these games. We just need to execute at a higher level. That’s what the name of the game is: execution.”
