A day after saying he was going to re-evaluate everything about his defense, Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia said scheme is the least of the unit’s problems.
“It’s not really a scheme thing,” Patricia said Monday. “We can play any scheme we want. I’ve coached more defense probably than anybody in the league as far as scheme is concerned. We’ve got to start somewhere and you start with your foundation and your foundation has to be good fundamentals.
