Lions training camp: Notes on defense from Day 2

• On Day 2 of Detroit Lions training camp, Travis Lewis got a chance to be the first-team left outside linebacker.
  
  
• The rest of the first-team defense on Saturday was the same as Friday. Jason Jones and Willie Young were the primary No. 1 defensive ends, and the secondary once again consisted of Chris Houston, Ron Bartell, Bill Bentley (in the nickel), Glover Quin and Don Carey.
  
  
• It's worth noting that rookies Ziggy Ansah and Darius Slay both got some work with the first-team defense at their respective positions. Actually, Slay took over as the No. 1 right cornerback to finish practice after Bartell left with an injury.
  
  
• Before he got bumped up to the first team, Ansah was on the second-team defense along with Israel Idonije.
  
  
• Cornerback DeQuan Menzie worked as the No. 2 nickelback, according to Dave Birkett.
  
  
• Houston intercepted Matthew Stafford on a pass intended for Calvin Johnson and returned it for a touchdown, according to Tim Twentyman.
  
  
• Bentley picked off Stafford as well on a pass thrown in Johnson's direction, but Young jumped offside on the play, according to Mike Mady.
  
  
• Bentley has impressed a lot of his coaches and teammates, and he spent much of the first two days of training camp exchanging trash talk with Nate Burleson.
  
  
• I like the sound of this:

  Nick Fairley's quickness stands out in Saturday morning pass rush drill. Third year could be the charm fir quick Nick. #lionscamp

• This is also great to read:

  Jim Schwartz said @NdamukongSuh made a mockery of the condition test on Thursday and is in best shape he's ever been in.

• This, on the other hand, is not what I want to see:

  Negative observation - Devin Taylor is a non-entity so far.

• He didn't actually practice on Saturday, but Louis Delmas still made a play from the sideline.

  Delmas catches a ball that gets tipped out of bounds and runs it back to the end zone. Draws a roar from the crowd. #Lions

• DeAndre Levy's beard has earned him the nickname "Taliban Man" from Ashlee Palmer, who is planning to grow a beard of his own.
