Lions | Wide receivers will have to compete
Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:38:38 -0800
Steve Pate, of The Daily Oakland Press, reports Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz claims the wide receiving corps of WR Roy Williams, WR Charles Rogers, and WR Mike Williams will be made to compete. Martz said, "You look at these guys and see the potential that's not been realized, and you think maybe you can do that. That's the ego in you. The only thing I would say is they've got to compete, and we'll give them every opportunity to compete. They're going to be made to compete, or basically, it's going to be very difficult for them."

Steve Pate, of The Daily Oakland Press, reports Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz views RB Kevin Jones as a 30-carry back. Martz said Jones is the type of explosive player "you can hang your hat on." Martz said, "When you want a guy who can carry the mail, so to speak, and can do that 35 times a game, he can do that. Or he can turn around the next week and carry it five times and catch 10 passes. He has that type of versatility; we just need to shine it up a little bit."
Lions | Martz declares West Coast offense dead
Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:07:20 -0800
Steve Pate, of The Oakland Press, reports Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz declared the West Coast offense in Detroit deader than a bad drum Thursday, Feb. 16. Martz feels QB Joey Harrington will be given every opportunity to work with the offense Martz pieces together. On his style of offense versus the West Coast offense, Martz said, "It's a culture shock. It's totally different. All the drops that we use, the terminology is different, everything's different. I think it's a good thing for (Harrington) to go through. It's a new chapter in my life, and I think it's a nice chapter for Joey."
