He has been good at times, but very inconsistent and unsure of his responsibilities in the defense. He is not playing instinctively because of not always knowing where he is supposed to be. I can see the talent, speed, and instincts, but not the consistency. The MLB in the Tampa-2 has to be in the right place or the entire middle of the defense is like a gaping hole. Right now, he is not far enough along to start in my opinion. He is out of position too many times right now and it makes him look bad because he isn't in the correct position to make a play at times. It's really hard to say what the Lions will do right now, but I would think the next preseason game is going to tell us a lot. It's also telling that the Lions have not moved any of their 3 MLBs to the strong side yet. At least one of them will move there.My gut feeling is Lenon starts at MLB in week 1, but it's just a matter of time before Dizon replaces him and Lenon goes to SLB. I am guessing after the Lion's week 4 bye.

Against the Bengals, Dizon was fast, but that was about all. He made quick decisions, but was too often taken out of the play, especially by the Bengal first team OL. He looked like he'd be able to drop well in coverage and closed nicely on one play over the middle. I think he's at the bottom of a steep learning curve right now and the Lions haven't been in any hurry to get him snaps with the ones. They like Lewis and have had nice things to say about Lenon in the past.
When Dizon is ready, he'll be in there, but it's certainly not going to be opening weekend. Lenon is no Shelton Quarles, but this is starting to smell like a similar situation. No one thought much of Quarles either, but he lasted much longer than anyone thought with Ruud on his tail. Many of the coaches with that TB team are in Detroit now, notably the head coach and defensive coordinator. You might have to hold Dizon until opening weekend 2009 or longer to see any dividend.
