Detroit Lions DE Israel Idonije said he was pitched on being a run-stopper on early downs. ‘I think the focus is first and second down, to be on the end,’ Idonije said. ‘Number one, just stop the run. In that the 4-3 style defense, stopping the run is the first focus. After that, whether it’s inside on passing situations, or we’re going to do something where I’m flexed outside in the (wide) nine to get after it from there.’
