‘Get past it’ _ Lions hope to flip the script in 2009 after become 1st NFL team to go 0-16

Lions’ Sims: “We’re switching our swagger around”

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — New coach. New front office. New players. The Detroit Lions are looking to forget their place in NFL history as the first 0-16 team.

First-year coach Jim Schwartz and the players gathered Tuesday and say it’s time to move on.

Schwartz also says it will be months before a starter is named at any position, including quarterback. The Lions picked Matthew Stafford with the No. 1 choice in the draft, and he’s in camp with former Pro Bowler Daunte Culpepper.
