Why adding Jalen Ramsey to the Detroit Lions could be dangerous

The Detroit Lions are considered one of the perfect landing spots for Jalen Ramsey, but there are reasons why it could be very dangerous.

The Detroit Lions are trying to find themselves. This season has not started quite like the Lions or their fan base wanted between giving up an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter to the Cardinals, the defensive line disappearing and the offense struggling to find its groove. There are some nerves that are being frayed by this start, but there is also reason to have hope.

The defensive line has a lot of talent. It was expected to be among the best in the NFL. They played well in the first half of the opener against the Arizona Cardinals, but then seemed to fall off the face of the earth in the second half of that game. It was like they ran out of gas and then forgot to fuel up before facing the Chargers in Week Two.

This is definitely a concern, but on paper, it would seem like it can’t last. Da’Shawn Hand has been out injured and perhaps Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison is still trying to get in game-shape, while Trey Flowers and Mike Daniels progress has been hampered by previous injuries of their own.

So there are reasons why the defensive line hasn’t played to the level expected of them yet, but when those reasons are resolved and everyone is on the field in game shape, there will be no excuses why this unit shouldn’t turn things around and play like they are supposed to.

Meanwhile, the biggest problem the offense is suffering from is a lack of familiarity with Darrell Bevell’s system. A new system always takes time for a team to pick up to the point that they can run it seamlessly.

The offensive line still needs to be much better which would make the rushing attack dangerous, but the passing game is already showing signs that it could become unstoppable with some more repetitions and better execution.

So, having said all that, is there a missing ingredient that could put these Lions over the top?
