Tony Oritz: Quotes From Lions Player-Organized Workouts

Three notable quotes from Monday's first player-organized workouts

"We've got some work to do to close the gap on teams in the league and teams in our division, and things like this........it shows the commitment not just to our football fans but to each other."
- Kyle Vanden Bosch, talking about the importance of this week's workouts for the Lions.

"That has nothing to do with me. My job is to be the best player for the Detroit Lions and the rest.......I leave it up to the people upstairs. I show up to the locker room, the football field......and my job is to be the best. At the end of the day, I'm pleased. If they feel that's not good enough, then it's thanks for the opportunity."
- Gosder Cherilus, on whether he was pleased that the Lions didn't take a right tackle in this year's draft.

"We'll see. No, I don't think it should be a problem. We've got a lot of good guys on this team, and everybody knows we're here to do one thing and that's to try and win. You know, I think everybody understands that. We have such a good group of guys in the locker room that I don't think that will be an issue at all."
- Matthew Stafford, on if it's possible to get the ball to all of his offensive weapons - and keep them happy - this season.
