Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter said Matthew Stafford is doing a better job pushing receivers to be in certain spots when he's throwing. Believes he's continuing to become more and more comfortable in the offense by the week. They've worked together as OC/QB since the middle of the 2015 season now -- around the same time Stafford's play began to take on steady improvement.

Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter said LT Greg Robinson has had "some good plays and bad plays." Said he's playing a high-difficulty position and doing good things out there, too.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell, in talking about linebacker Tahir Whitehead, recalls when he first was hired in Detroit, putting on special teams film and spotting him often as someone who made plays. He's been a productive linebacker for Detroit the past three years.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell, explaining how they work on turnovers, said they have a rule in practice that football's are fair game all the way until the player hands the ball to a manager post-play. That helps with both awareness for offensive player ball security and defensive players trying to force turnovers.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell said he worked as a young coach at the Michigan football camps with Bo Schembechler. Learned a lot of philosophy during those camps. Said he also got Bear Bryant on the phone and wrote letters to Tom Osborne.

Kenny Golladay, Dwayne Washington and Paul Worrilow the Lions not participating in the open portion of practice. Golladay and Washington were both running on the side. Neither guy practiced Wednesday or Thursday.
