ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -Dre’ Bly never thought he’d be back with the Detroit Lions.
Bly was traded away after publicly blaming quarterback Joey Harrington for head coach Steve Mariucci’s firing in 2006, but signed a free-agent contract with Detroit in July.
In his first stint with the team, Bly was a two-time Pro Bowl selection, but this time, he thinks his experience can get him on the field as the nickel back in a struggling secondary.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz agrees, saying that Bly’s football instincts make up for any loss of speed in his 33-year-old legs.
