Dan Campbell believes some Lions players played slow last season

There’s a new boss in town, and he’s ready to take a bite out of your kneecaps.

New Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell had himself quite the introductory press conference earlier this month, and has been busy putting together his staff.

Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn replaces Cory Undlin, and while things will be different on the field next year, Campbell and his new staff aim to build on the foundation that’s already in place rather than going with the scorched earth approach.

“I would say that we’re talking more about kinda what’s been here, an advanced version of that,” Campbell told the Detroit News. “I would say there’s going to be things AG will keep coverage-wise that we were doing in New Orleans. But I would say it may look a little more like the Rams, a little more like what (former Rams defensive coordinator Brandon) Staley and them were doing out there, as far as the front.”

Campbell then seemed to throw a subtle jab at how players were performing last season while former head coach Matt Patricia was still on the job.

“(Glenn) and I were watching it the other day, and there was enough stuff to where, man, why are they playing slow?” Campbell said. “This is a much better athlete, he should be playing faster. It just looks like there’s indecision. It looks like they’re timid. They look like they had lacked confidence. I’m just talking about the players that were here.”

Campbell is looking forward to when he, Glenn and the rest of the new coaching staff can instill confidence in the players.

“I feel like AG can help a lot of that, and his staff,” Campbell continued. “I think that the ability to bring a little bit of confidence back into these guys. I think you put these guys in situations where they can grow and learn. I think you do some one-on-ones in front of your teammates and you find out you know who gets a little embarrassed and who rises up, and if you’re a guy who doesn’t rise to the challenge, put him in it again, put him in the next day, do it again, do it again. Make him get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I just think we can help some of those things.”

It’s a new day in the Motor City.
