We should be able to beat the Lions and control anything they are trying to do on offense without Kinlaw. He was solid for us when he played last year but it seems like injuries are going to limit his improvement into a true impact player that we were hoping for with a top 15 pick.
Kinlaw was one of the standouts vs the run. There's no question that will be what the Lions try to do against us...run the ball and try to wear down the defense. Not a great time to be thin on the interior but hopefully the other guys step up and the offense does their part so Detroit has to pass.
