New coordinator Gunther Cunningham says the Lions' defensive scheme will be based on players, not the other way around. Cunningham won't take the Eric Mangini route and use a scheme that doesn't fit the players. "The scheme is secondary," he says. "The players are No. 1." The new defense is still sure to use press coverage in the secondary and more blitzes than Rod Marinelli's did. It's also a strong bet to be a 4-3. Source: Detroit Free Press
