Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia appears poised to be giving up defensive play-calling duties this fall.
New Lions defensive coordinator Cory Undlin said Sunday he plans to be on the sideline during games this season where he'll be "calling the defense."
Undlin, who has previously declined to say what role he'll have in play calling, dropped the nugget during a video conference when asked if he'll be on the sideline or in the booth this season.
“I’ve got plenty of eyes up top and just personally I like – personally, there is a feel of being on the field and then anytime for me when you’ve got to go through another conduit to get it out there, it’s just it’s more efficient for me," Undlin said.
