Lions Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
When Rod Marinelli took over the Lions in 2006, he wanted to build them like the Buccaneers were built. He had spent 10 years as Tampa Bay's defensive line coach. He had won a Super Bowl with the Bucs. He had seen how it was done.
But when the Lions host the Bucs on Sunday, they will be simply trying to get their first victory against a good team. The Lions are 0-10. The Bucs are 7-3.
Marinelli was not interested in walking down memory lane when asked about his Tampa Bay days after practice Wednesday. He didn't want to talk about any deeper meaning to the game.
"Not really," Marinelli said. "At this time, I'm just interested in this team practicing, getting ready to go. I'm telling you, they're resilient.
