In the past, Detroit Lions coaches have been extremely scant on details when it comes to how players fit in their scheme. Sometimes they said it was in order to get a competitive edge. Sometimes they said their players were so versatile, it would be unfair to box them into a specific role. Sometimes it was “too early to tell.”
Well, the Lions’ new defensive line coach Todd Wash wasn’t using any of those excuses. In a Zoom session with Detroit media on Thursday afternoon, he gave the media a pretty clear look at what some players’ roles will be, come September.
