ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Joe Dahl was a little frustrated. It was early in the Detroit Lions' season and while he expected something like this to happen, it was still a lot more than he thought. The offensive lineman knew his growth to become an NFL player would take time for a lot of reasons.
But the amount of what he had to pick up, re-learn and in some cases learn for the first time ended up startling him a little bit.
Dahl was a little bit less prepared for the jump from college to the NFL because of where he went to college and what his team ran.
