Lions Game Nine, Isn’t So Fine
Well it’s another game in the books and still nothing has changed, well there’s a new quarterback but still, nothing has changed. The Detroit Lions are 0-9.
After the game Head Coach Rod Marinelli gave the media his post game report.
"Just a couple injury updates; Dewayne White had a calf early in the game and pulled it, so obviously he didn't play the rest of the game. Jared DeVries; hand; as of right now, it may require surgery. I'm not quite sure yet. Keith Smith; groin, and Mike Furrey had a mild concussion early in the game.
Marinelli goes on to give us his synopsis of the game as he saw it.
"I take my hat off to Jacksonville. They're a very, very physical team and they ran the ball very well on us with about three or four runs and did a nice job with their play action and we couldn't get enough snaps for our offense and that's where we're at."
When asked further about DeVries’ injury and if it was possibly fractured Marinelli says, "Right now they've got to go get it x-rayed. They feel it was."
Marinelli talked a little bit about the Jags defense and this is what he had to say, "They ran three or four plays; power with a ream inside against under and then we kicked our end from a six to a five and they pushed it and were able to get the backside guard up and through. They did a good job standing on our feet and pushing and then they run what we call a smart-belly, where it starts to the weak side and they bring the fullback on the way back and try to force on the backside end. And we got a forced; we've got to make sure our fallback players are falling back inside and we struggled doing that and their backs ran extremely hard and we had some chances to man-up on them and hit them and we fell off some tackles."
