'Keep chipping away': Lions DC Aaron Glenn sees positives, despite ugly numbers

Allen Park — It's Aaron Glenn's nature to focus on the positive.

The Detroit Lions' first-year defensive coordinator isn't oblivious to the task at hand. He inherited the worst-performing unit in franchise history, and as with any rebuild, the team purged several, high-priced veterans before Glenn even stepped on the field to begin installing his scheme.

As you might imagine, the turnaround has been akin to a cruise ship, not a speedboat. Through four games, the Lions are allowing opponents to rack up nearly 400 yards and 30 points per game.

But each time Glenn steps to the podium for his weekly media session, he opens with something positive his group is doing well.
