First week or not. New OC or not. Ragnow, Melvin, Davis or not. Patrick Peterson is suspended, leaving a rookie CB to start a lot of snaps against Golloway. It's time to put up or shut up right from the get go. This is the kind of game, LIONS need to win if they want to compete this year. A loss on Sunday and it's a lot of static already.
KEY TO THE GAME: Stifling Jones and Suggs from the outside rush.
Zona is not the best team on paper. We should roll them or not.

No Hand, I’d say 99.9% no Davis even though he’s technically questionable. Ragnow looks like a go. The one that is a little scary is Melvin being questionable.
Early season games are quirky, especially first ones and with unknown of Cardinals and Murray, it is a little scary.
Still Arizona has a lot of issues and is missing some big pieces on D.
I understand they want a balanced attack on offense but I would set that aside for this game and just air it out, the backup CBs for Arizona cant run with Golladay and Marvin Jones the Lions should be able to air it out and win this one in comfortable fashion.
Decker, Cj Anderson, Agnew and not getting Kerryon enough carries are all negatives today.
Positives: THE D baby! Damn, lights out today. Granted a rookie midget QB, but Melvin, Slay, Walker, Digg, up front good pressure, just great all around. Pleasantly surprised by this D and how about Melvin playing when he was questionable?!!!!
