Lions' Darius Slay: I ain't no slouch. I'm a gangster.

ALLEN PARK -- Darius Slay is an All-Pro corner with an All-Pro mouth, though we've heard from it little since Matt Patricia's arrival. Until now.

The affable Lions cornerback was in vintage form after practice Wednesday, regaling reporters with comments on everything from Aaron Rodgers' greatness to his own. And he was especially good when talking about the Cowboys' curious game plan to attack him, of all people, last week.

The Cowboys won the game, sure, but Slay played great. He had three pass breakups in the first half alone, which was an NFL high this season, and finished with just two forgettable catches allowed on the six balls thrown his way.
