We’ve all had a few days now to sit with the Detroit Lions’ decision to hire former Eagles defensive backs coach Cory Undlin as their new defensive coordinator.
At first, the reaction was understandably disappointed. Matt Patricia got another one of “his guys” and it looked like he simply got someone who will execute the game plan that will be set by the coaching staff already in place.
But is there a chance Undlin is something more than that? He only worked alongside Patricia once, and he’s seen a lot of different kind of defenses since then.
