ALLEN PARK Zach Brown Jersey , Mich. (AP)Matt Patricia’s unlikely path to becoming an NFL coach began with his buddies, setting up miniature players on a vibrating, metal field for fierce games of electric football.”I knew at a very young age the strategic part of the game was something that I just loved,” Patricia said Wednesday after being introduced as coach of the Detroit Lions. ”I thrived on it. We would try to just out plan each other all the time and we’d have huge games that would roll into weeks at a time.”Years later, Patricia took a pivotal step toward his dream job after earning an aeronautical engineering degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute by being a graduate assistant at his alma mater. The former offensive lineman – who is from Sherrill, New York – coached up one of the players at RPI and saw him do what he was taught during a game.”The success that we had and his joy that he showed from being able to do that, that’s really when it clicked for me as a coach,” Patricia said with his previously bushy beard trimmed and a pencil over his right ear. ”At that point, the strategic part of the game along with my coaching aspirations just kind of put things in motion.”The Lions desperately hope Patricia takes full advantage of his first opportunity to lead a football team and ends their decades-long search for a coach who can lead them to elusive success in the playoffs.Since winning the 1957 NFL title, Detroit’s only postseason victory was more than a quarter-century ago.”Our goal is to win and to compete for championships,” team president Rod Wood said. ”I believe that we are taking the next step in meeting those expectations.”Lions general manager Bob Quinn fired coach Jim Caldwell last month with a 36-28 mark over four years and two playoff appearances. The Lions went 9-7 last season and missed the playoffs, ranking among the NFL’s worst rushing teams for the fourth straight year.”I wanted to find a leader that could take us to the next level and I am confident we have found that in Matt Patricia Devin Bush Jersey ,” Quinn said.The 43-year-old Patricia helped New England win three Super Bowls over 14 years. He was the Patriots’ defensive coordinator the past six seasons.Detroit’s search was focused on Patricia right from the start because he worked with Quinn for a dozen years in New England.”We sat next to each other in a lot of team meetings in New England for many of our years together,” Quinn recalled. ”We also spent a great deal of time together on the road scouting college prospects, traveling around the country trying to find new players.”In recent years, Patricia has become a candidate to lead a team in the league as one of Bill Belichick’s top assistant coaches. He appeared to be in the running to be hired by his homestate New York Giants and perhaps the Arizona Cardinals, but choose the challenge in the Motor City at least in part because of his relationship with Quinn.”My comfort level with Bob is huge in all of this,” he said.After being a graduate assistant at RPI in 1996, Patricia shifted gears to be an aeronautical engineer for two years. Patricia got back on the sideline as a defensive line coach at Amherst College in 1999 and went on to be a graduate assistant for Paul Pasqualoni, whom he has hired to be Detroit’s defensive coordinator.Jim Bob Cooter was not mentioned in the Lions’ release regarding staff additions , but he is listed on the team’s website as its returning offensive coordinator.”Jim Bob is on staff and he will be here,” Patricia said. ”Obviously, he’s done a great job here in what he’s been able to accomplish with both him and (Matthew) Stafford and the offense.”— While he isn’t a die-hard baseball fan, Saquon Barkley is thinking about getting some more New York Yankees apparel.They were always his team growing up Diontae Johnson Jersey , and the bond got a little tighter for the 22-year-old Barkley over the past 24 hours when four Yankees donned his No. 26 jersey a day before the baseball team conducted a fantasy NFL draft.It happened Wednesday night before the Yankees headed to Boston for a weekend series. After their game with Texas, Domingo Germán, Gleyber Torres, Gio Urshela and Cory Gearrin donned Barkley’s jersey to show their favorite NFL player.“It’s awesome just to see the New York love,” Barkley said Thursday, three days before the season opener in Dallas against the Cowboys. “Even though we all play different sports we have the same appreciation for each other. Even though I am not a crazy baseball fan growing up, I have always been a Yankees fan. Everybody’s been a Yankees fan and has to be, especially if you are from the New York-Pennsylvania area, where I am from.”It’s not surprising people support Barkley. He was the NFL offensive rookie of the year last season, rushing for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns and catching 91 passes for 721 yards and four TDs. He finished with a league-best 2,028 yards from scrimmage.Those are super fantasy numbers.With a seemingly better offensive line following the addition of Kevin Zeitler at right guard and Mike Remmers at right tackle Justin Layne Jersey , the expectations for Barkley are over the moon.Sunday’s matchup against the Cowboys should be interesting because it pits the top two NFL rushers in 2018, Ezekiel Elliott of the Cowboys and Barkley, the No. 2 pick overall in last year’s draft.Elliott won the rushing title with 1,434 yards, sitting out the final game of the season. He finished 27 yards behind Barkley in the race for most yards from scrimmage, so he probably would have won that had he played.Barkley is happy Elliott ended his holdout this week and got a new $90 million contract. But it’s not going to motivate him. He said being held out of the preseason to keep him fresh, has his juices flowing.Barkley believes he is the best running back in the league and he would not be surprised if either Elliott or Todd Gurley of the Rams felt the same way.“That’s how it should be,” Barkley said. “We’re some of the top running backs at the top of the game, and we’re very confident. You want to play at a high level, and you look at any sport, people who play at a high level, they have a lot of confidence in themselves. I have a lot of confidence in myself Benny Snell Jr. Jersey , he has a lot of confidence in himself, and he felt like he’s the best, and he felt like he should’ve gotten paid the best, and he did get paid. So, congratulations to him and like I said, just happy to see him on the field and can’t wait to go against those guys on Sunday.”In two games against the Cowboys last season, Barkley rushed for a season-low 28 yards in the second game of the season and 109 in the season finale. He also caught 18 passes, including a team-record 14 in the September contest. He scored once.Quarterback Eli Manning expects Barkley to improve.“He’s a guy, I think we’ll just have a smarter player, knowing the reads, the runs, get him involved in the pass game Zach Gentry Jersey , just doing everything a little bit smoother,” Manning said. “He works extremely hard, so I think he’ll be primed to go out there.”NOTES: Remmers, who missed practice on Wednesday with an illness/back problem, returned on limited basis Thursday. Coach Pat Shurmur expects him to play but either Chad Slade or Nick Gates would be ready to fill in. … Defensive coordinator James Bettcher would not say whether rookie DeAndre Baker or Antonio Hamilton would start opposite Janoris Jenkins at cornerback. Both have missed time in camp so they might split time. … Special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey says S Jabrill Peppers probably will return punts, while Cody Latimer and Corey Ballentine handle kickoffs. … TE Garrett Dickerson (quad) and WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) sat out second straight day. … Rookie DB Julian Love switched from No. 37 to 24 after the preseason. “I wasn’t feeling 37,” the fourth-round draft choice said.
