One word that many of Matt Patricia's former players used to describe their coach as the Detroit Lions were wading through the search process this offseason was "demanding," and two days into mandatory minicamp it's easy to see why.
On Tuesday, Patricia made the Lions' entire defense run the length of the field and back when he was unhappy with their performance during one period of practice. On Wednesday, it was the offense that caught Patricia's ire when he saw the group — or someone in it — loafing during a change of periods.
Patricia sent both the offense and defense back to the respective fields they were working on while running through an early-practice installation Wednesday, and made them run back to the end zone he was standing near.
