3 things we learned: Tyrell Crosby, Lions, can handle left tackle

DETROIT – The Lions defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 13-10 on Sunday at Ford Field. Here are three things we learned in Detroit's first win in the season.

Tyrell Crosby can handle the left tackle. To be very clear, that does not mean that he should replace Taylor Decker, who missed the match with a back injury. Decker is a former first-round pick and is not going anywhere despite his struggles in the first week. But the injuries have come to the fore and we've already seen that it thwarted the Lions attack. But this time, Crosby was ready for the challenge. He struggled with several of his blockages, but allowed only two presses and no bag in the passing game – not even a shot, in fact – while facing a regular diet of Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram , one of the best players in the race. tandems in the league. The Lions quickly helped Crosby, making many runs and fast passes. They also tied a tight end to help early. As Crosby felt more comfortable, Detroit opened the discussion and did not help her as much. Crosby was not quite dominant, but he did the job the same way in the passing game, even when the Lions teamed up. Here's a look at Kenny Golladay's 31-yard touchdown pass, and Crosby did not allow the pressure to work.

The days of Jamal Agnew could be numbered in Detroit. He was regularized as a returning player against Los Angeles after nearly testing in the second quarter, and Matt Patricia was very clear after the match that the move was temporary. "Agnew is a great player," said Patricia. "He's a competitor, he's a hard guy, I believe in him. I think just when I thought I had to make a decision there. But it's just at the right time for this game, and that's what it was. Apart from that, he is a tough kid, he is ready to go, he is ready to go back to work, to come back and continue to progress. "So yes. It looks like Agnew will have a chance to regain his post after losing the kick back to Danny Amendola and punt return to Ty Johnson. But the leash is obviously short. Agnew's security issues are well documented and date back to his rookie year. He had more problems at training camp, lost a fumble against his own 10-yard line against Arizona and nearly lost another fumble against the Chargers. If he fails to understand this quickly, he will definitely lose the remaining jobs – and he may not be good enough to defend his roster if he is not part of the teams. Special.

Rookie Ty Johnson wins a bigger role. Of course, run as he did when he first reported against LA He followed a good block on the left, crossed the traffic on the second level, then Rayshawn Jenkins, who has ground safety, in the ground before dropping by the shoulder in linebacker Thomas Davis and Pro Bowl cornerback, Casey Hayward, near the sideline. Not bad for a return speed of 210 pounds, huh? The play lasted 17 yards, and Detroit picked him for the series. He finished with five litters for 30 yards and two catches for 6 yards in 13 attempts – which was actually more than No. 2 defenseman C.J. Anderson played (12 shots). Johnson, who had eight plays in the first week, seems to be on the rise in the new attack.
