Source: Detroit Free PressSept.新蒲崗迷你倉 07--Nope. Nuh-uh. Never noticed a thing.That was the general response of Lions coaches Friday when they were asked about retired Chicago linebacker Brian Urlacher recently saying that Bears defensive players faked injuries to slow down offenses."We've never done that since I've been in Detroit," coach Jim Schwartz said Friday. "I can't speak for other teams. I don't know that I've ever really thought anybody did it against us."Defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, who has coached for more than 30 years in the NFL, said he has seen teams use the tactic."Oh, yeah," he said. "But that was quite a few years ago. I haven't seen it lately, and people get it. And I think the rules, the way they are enforced now, it's pretty hard to do that stuff."According to the Chicago Tribune, the NFL sent a memo to every team reminding them of possible discipline, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, if they're caught faking injuries.But it's nearly impossible to prove a player is faking an injury. And players and coaches know it."I guess it's part of the game," receiver Nate Burleson said. "I mean, any way that you can try to gain an advantage. ..."You know, they say if you're not cheatin' you're not tryin'. So sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do to slow down certain teams. ... There's so many rules that if you find a loophole, you've kinda gotta expose it, especially in this league."-- BACK IN THE BOOTH: Cunningham ran the defense from the coaches' booth in the press box during the exhibition season, and he'll stay there for the rest of the season."I kind of like it," mini storagee said. "I've been up there a lot in my career, and I get to see the game. I get to see everybody play, not just defense."Cunningham coached from the booth his first year with the Lions in 2009. His proxy on the field will be linebackers coach Matt Burke.-- BADGE OF HONOR: Veteran receiver Burleson is accorded one of the highest honors by his teammates each week when he breaks down the final huddle in the end zone shortly before kickoff.Burleson was not voted one of the team's six captains this week, but he knows he has a very strong leadership role."If this is the police force, I have an honorary badge," he said. "Something like 'Police Academy.'"I do appreciate the fact that guys listen to me. And I know that guys are watching me, especially in group. And I take a lot of pride in trying to lead and show these guys how to be pros on and off the field."-- INJURY REPORT: Defensive end Ziggy Ansah (concussion) had a full practice and was listed as probable. Safety Louis Delmas (knee) and defensive end Jason Jones (knee) did not practice, but were also probable.Minnesota defensive tackle Kevin Williams (knee) is out. Fred Evans likely will start in his place, and rookie first-round pick Sharrif Floyd, who has missed time with a knee injury in the exhibition season, will play significant minutes as a backup.Contact Carlos Monarrez: cmonarrez@freepress.com.
