Dan Campbell was probably correct all along. Campbell, the newly appointed Detroit Lions head coach in January 2021, gave one of the most memorable introductory press conferences. 'Here's what I do know is that this team will take on the city's brand.' Also, this neighborhood has been down, and it has found a way to get up. The gruff, bearded Campbell, said the gruff, at 6ft 5in a former Lions tight end, has found a way to beat adversity.' This team is going to be built on: We're going to punch you in the teeth, and if you punch us back, we're going to look at you, and if we knock us down, we're going to get up.' We're going to break a kneecap on the way up.' Stirring stuff. And it was so easy to mock. After all, the Lions were the Lions. Clums and non-starters are synonymous with Detroit, Michigan.

Nick Sirianni, the head coach of Philadelphia, spoke with Slay to try to put into question any suggestion of friction between the cornerback and Patricia, which dates back to the 2018-19 season. In February, the nine-time All-Pro slammed his ex-head coach, alleging that Patricia 'disrespected' him, claiming he is not at the same level as other parts of the league. 'You talk to guys and make sure everyone's happy with it,' Sirianni said. I had conversations with Slay; I had chats with coach Patricia.' I'm sure it'll be a good working relationship for us if that happens.'
