Asked about his message to the players during their first week of work, Marinelli said: "Habits, the habits I want. Create the proper habits, the work habits I'm working for, the leadership and the consistency, the mental toughness I want.

"I want to be a team that can overachieve. That's a big message but it starts one step at a time, one day in the weight room, whatever we're doing in a meeting, how to meet properly, how to listen, how to communicate properly. Just the very basic things, like how to get in a good stance.

"I'm not going to overlook any phase of it. It's all about details, this game is. And it's not who has the talent but whose talent plays good consistently for 16 weeks."

Yeah, yeah. Been there, heard that. I'll believe it when I see it.

I really WANT to get excited because so far everything sounds great. I like what I hear from and about Marinelli. I love Martz's offensive mind. I like that Henderson isn't Jauron.

But I REFUSE to let myself get hopefull that "this could be the year" again. The same @#$% happens every single offseason. I can't take it anymore!!

Luckily, the Lions haven't done much this offseason to get my hopes up, so I thank them for that.

I'm going to hope/wish/pray for the best and expect the worst.
