Transcript: Lions Head Coach Press Conference






What are your thoughts about the Packers going into this week?

HypeMike and the Packers are a very tough combination. They have the skill players to do whatever they want on offense and Aaron Jones is running like a man possessed this season. We cannot go into this game turning the ball over, the only way to pull this upset off is to play smart football and be patient with our reads and our routes. Sacks are fine, but we cannot turn the ball over in our own side of the field again.







How has Chandler Jones’s experience in the league helped the team so far?

It hasn't. Chandler Jones has been a bust and I wish I never traded for him. We gave up two 5th round selections for him and he got hurt in the very first game that he played for us. Jones will likely be a cut candidate if he regresses as much as I think he is going to. Worst trade ever.

What is the status of Chandler Jones and when is he set to return?

Jones is set to return in three weeks, but we need his services on the defensive line pronto. We had an ideal situation with Jones and Hutchinson rushing from the edges and big Leonard Williams rushing from the inside. However, that plan is on hold but hopefully he can help us with our playoff push towards the end of the season.
