"Good" "Proven"

Have vastly different meanings in the world of Joe Marinelli. Joe Barry. Joe Son-In-Law. Whatever.

"We're a good team. We've proven that; we've shown that. We're a good defense," Barry said. "You don't all of a sudden just forget how to tackle in five days. Now, we had a poor outing, we did a poor job of it. Hopefully that's behind us and we're ready to move on."

I assume he's referring to the Detroit defense that ranked 32nd in the league last year. Out of 32 teams. Dead last = good & proven. Dead last = The Lions Standard
