Nepotism hires continue: Former Pats assisstant and Eagles DB coach next Lions puppet DC

[Gulf of Brazil]

Your defensive backs will never turn their heads around and they will never find the football.

FYI

We won't have to worry about that as CB Melvin was on a 1 year deal (unless they bring him back) and the GM just got rid of another CB Lawson who had the same traits in not turning their head around to locate the ball. Both of those CB could provide sticky coverage at the hip but ball skills wasn't their forte'.

Was that a problem with coaching or player's scouted by Joe Johnson or Howie R. just over-riding player choices by HC/DC/Position Coach ?

They added a number of corners here during Undlin's tenure and most of them got worse the longer they worked with him.

But not turning heads around was so consistent it had to be coached that way.

Eh, he did a decent job with a bunch of unknowns in Philly.
But, DC?

Good luck with that.
