  "account": "Darius Slay, a former Detroit cornerback, expressed dissatisfaction with the Lions' decision to let Carlton Davis leave in free agency. In an interview on \"Woodward Heavyweights,\" Slay pointed out that Davis was the most complete corner and perfectly suited for the Lions' aggressive man coverage scheme. Slay's criticism comes after the Lions' secondary struggled against the Carolina Panthers, with rookie Tetairoa McMillan scoring 192 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Slay believes the issue lies not just with individual performances but with the disconnect between Detroit's personnel and the defensive philosophy being implemented.",
