Idonije targets tight Lions run defence

Detroit Lions defensive lineman Israel Idonije has revealed that the club's defensive target for the 2013 season will be reducing opposition rushing yards.

Idonije said that in the 4-3 style of defence preferred by defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham the focus has to be on quickly stopping run plays.

"I think the focus is first and second down, to be on the end," Idonije told MLive.com. "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."

Idonije has made 272 combined tackles in his career.
