Millen said he believes in Marinelli more than ever before because Marinelli has remained consistent amid adversity. He said he still believes in the coaching staff and players and that if the Lions just do what theyve been doing, they will win this year.
Stay the course, Millen said. Its a little bump.
Its not like you have to panic. You dont have to make wholesale changes. You dont have to do all that stuff. Its all right there.
Millen echoed the comments Marinelli made in Mondays news conference that the Lions have improved their professionalism in their preparation, but now they have to take that into the games.
I said at the beginning of the season, Come on out, and youll like what you see, Millen said. And I think the people who came out (to training camp), they like what they see because they see discipline. They see the approach is right. Theyre practicing right. All the little things.
