"My job is to be seen as a mentor," he said. "I need them to be comfortable with me, to talk to me about anything, because my job is to help them. I can't be a snitch. I'm not required to report everything that goes on with every player unless the behavior is going to hurt them or the team or if it is going to get exposed anyway."

"This is usually a tense time for me," he said. "But I am as at ease — and I'm going to knock on wood — as I have ever been here.

The 42-year-old Duncan is in his eighth year with the Lions. His job is about to be put to a test as it is annually this time of year because players have more than a month off between minicamp and training camp, but he's not worried about having a lot of headaches.
