The Athletic recently had an exclusive opportunity to sit down, via video call, with Lions coordinators Aaron Glenn and Anthony Lynn for separate, approximately 30-minute film sessions. In them, they broke down the film of a few of Detroit’s key free-agent signings and how they fit the coaching staff’s schemes. The conversation that follows with Glenn is the first of a four-part series.
