Re: Martz: Lions players out of shape

Yesterday, Detroit offensive coordinator Mike Martz spoke to local reporters for the first time since the combines.

And, oh, was it worth the wait!

Quote:
Among the highlights: He said quarterback Joey Harrington felt adjusting to his system was going to be "just too hard." He said his players were "grossly out of shape" by his high standards, and couldn't be evaluated properly yet, but they were at the "baby steps" stage and working hard. He also said he had seen good things from several players, including wide receivers Charles Rogers and Mike Williams.
Lots to address here. Like how he basically said Harrington wouldn't be able to pick up his system? Or how he might actually be able to squeeze a little bit of talent and effort out of Rogers and Williams? Or his comment about how out of shape the players were? Sounds to me like he's done a pretty good job of identifying and solving problems thus far, wouldn't you say?

Cool Re: Martz: Lions players out of shape

Steve Marriuci did his Larry Brown imitation of coaching. Cash a big check and let the players run wild.
