Jason Kreis stepped in front of the cameras after the first preseason training session of the season and offered a raspy explanation.
“Lost my voice already,” he said. “Not used to yelling at anybody.”
Kreis hasn’t had to do much yelling these last couple of months. Most anybody would call that a blessing. But not a coach.
“We spent an inordinate amount of work as scouts in the offseason and we’re tired of that,” Kreis said. “We prefer to be coaches.”
The hours on the scouting trail seemed well spent as the Lions took the pitch Monday.
