Allen Park — Standing with his back against a wall after another extended training camp practice Monday, veteran guard T.J. Lang wasn’t inclined to look over his shoulder.
But ask the two-time Pro Bowler and former Super Bowl champ about what he sees in front of him — about what Lions fans are desperate to see this fall — and he’ll answer reflectively, not reflexively.
What’s different now with a new head coach taking charge and an old reputation lingering up front?
“The biggest thing so far has been attitude,” said Lang, referring to a retooled offensive line that struggled to stay healthy — injuries led to 11 different starting combinations — and simply couldn’t handle all the heavy lifting in 2017.
