NFC Notes: Bears, Lions, Vikings

Bears

Lions

The Lions’ defense has really struggled in recent weeks and HC Dan Campbell is clearly frustrated with the current state of the unit. 

โ€œYeah, weโ€™re going to look at everything. Weโ€™re going to look at it all, top to bottom,โ€ Campbell said, via LionsWire.com.

The Seahawks had their way with DC Aaron Glenn‘s defense on Sunday and Campbell made it clear that they’re willing to consider all options if they feel like they can get things on track. 

โ€œAnd I look at everything with (Glenn) AG,โ€ Campbell added. โ€œWeโ€™ll look at everything we need to. To the scheme, to our personnel, and weโ€™ll find the best fit and whatever we feel likeโ€™s going to give us the best chance and the best chance in three or four weeks too. If thatโ€™s a young player, itโ€™s a young player. Yeah, listen itโ€™s frustrating. Itโ€™s frustrating and I have nobody to blame but myself. So, Iโ€™ll โ€“ thatโ€™s on me to handle that and canโ€™t keep saying that, canโ€™t keep writing that, canโ€™t keep โ€“ so, there again Iโ€™ll look at everything. It is frustrating.โ€
