The Detroit Lions closed out joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars by lowering the intensity a bit on Thursday. The teams did not wear full pads, meaning there weren’t as many violent collisions, and trench play was a bit hard to fully analyze.
After focusing mostly on the offense on Wednesday, I turned my attention to the defense for Day 2. Here’s what I saw.
Lions defense opened strong in red zone 7-on-7s
The Jaguars offense opened practice with a sequence of red zone seven-on-seven drills. The first four reps began around the 20-yard line; the second four were from the 10-yard line or closer.
