For Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia, the heat is on. Get it right and win games or advance to the unemployment line without passing ‘Go’ or collecting millions of dollars.
What that basically means is that unlike last offseason when it appeared that the Lions had done pretty well, until the season blew up in their faces, they have to not only get this offseason right they have to ace it.
They also can’t afford another T.J. Hockenson. This isn’t meant to slight the talented former Iowa tight end, but the fans wanted defensive tackle Ed Oliver or linebacker Devin Bush and they were right.
