Aaron Glenn: The Defense of the Detroit Lions Will “Bite Someone’s Face Off”
On both sides of the ball, the Detroit Lions roster is packed of gifted, diligent athletes. Despite being mostly unknown, Aaron Glenn’s defense has forced turnovers, delivered huge hits, and prevented opponents from scoring touchdowns in the second half of the season. Glenn remarked, “We’re talking about gritty, that’s who we are.” “Listen, we are well aware of who we are. Are we the quickest? Are we the most gifted people? No, but if you’re going to play us, we’ll bite someone’s face off.
When asked if the Lions have now officially become “America’s team” at his Thursday media conference, Dan Campbell said that is not a title he can lay claim to and that only others can assess and articulate the true level of popularity of his club. “I just think our environment, our culture, the coaches, the players,” Campbell stated. “I believe that many of us attempt to uphold football’s integrity and show respect for it. Work ethic, self-control—these are traits that, in my opinion, most people can relate to. That, in my opinion, is probably the reason we’re at least slightly beautiful and, of course, successful.

The second-year linebacker, who missed much of the regular season as well as the team’s first two playoff games, is “very close” to being activated when the 49ers visit. “I believe he’s quite close,” Glenn told the press. “What we really want to do is shield the gamer from himself. And please understand that I do not tolerate harm. Especially, make sure you listen to the medical department to make sure we bring that athlete along precisely how he needs to come along. “He’s returning to his previous level of performance in practice, and perhaps we’ll get an opportunity to use that person on the field to help us score some points.
