Detroit Lions coach Rod Marinelli introduced two newly promoted assistants — offensive coordinator Jim Colletto and assistant head coach/passing game coordinator Kippy Brown — and the trio made it clear that Martz's complicated system was a thing of the past.
"The philosophy of the team is going to be a balanced attack," Colletto said. "I want an offense that can run the ball and throw the ball."
Under Martz, the Lions were criticized for neglecting the running game in favor of an overly complex system that exposed Jon Kitna to too many sacks.
