"When you get done with the game, you're happy because you won the game. The old saying is, it's never as good as you think it was and it's never as bad as you think it was," Schwartz said. "I think this was definitely one of those cases where it wasn't as good as we thought it was. Couple of plays that you saw we had bad leverage and missed some tackles in the secondary.

We didn't play physical enough at our corner position when it came to man-to-man coverage."

Cornerback Bill Bentley, a third-round pick in 2012,Cheap Shoes China Free Shipping, started three games as a rookie. Safety Don Carey started six games last season, and he could be an important player for Detroit if Delmas isn't at full strength. |
