EDTShareTweetShareShareLions notes: Bob Quinn gives behind-the-scenes info on draft dayBrian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsThe Detroit Lions seemed to be making a concerted effort to be a little more open with the media. Earlier in the offseason The Athletic took a trip down to Alabama on a private jet with Matt Patricia. Shortly thereafter, they got to interview director of player personnel Kyle O’Brien.Now, general manager Bob Quinn is letting us peek behind the proverbial heavily-guarded door to the draft war room. DetroitLions.com’s Mike O’Hara talked to Quinn about the draft day experience and how he handles the entire weekend.Particularly interesting was Quinn’s process when the Lions are on the clock.“Generally speaking, if you’re in the first round you have 10 minutes on the clock,” Quinn said. “You wait at least five minutes, to see if the phone rings. Then you take a minute and probably 30 seconds to get the player on the phone and make sure he’s there talking, alive and ready to go. And then, you always want to give yourself a couple minutes of a buffer before the time goes off.”The entire piece is definitely worth a read, just to give you an idea of what a war room is actually like during draft weekend.

(AP) — This time, the Chicago Bears were good enough to overcome a tough day for Cody Parkey.That might not be the case very soon.A day after Parkey missed two extra points and two field-goal attempts in a 34-22 victory over Detroit, coach Matt Nagy reiterated he has no plans to take a look at another kicker this week. But he acknowledged Parkey's performance is only going to take on greater importance as the NFC North-leading Bears try to get back to the playoffs for the first time since after the 2010 season. "The end of this regular season, these are huge now. You got to make them," Nagy said Monday, "and it's just too important, they're too crucial."The most remarkable part of Parkey's trouble against Detroit might have been how he missed the four kicks, finding an upright each time.After Chicago scored on its first drive Taylor Decker Jersey , Parkey kicked the extra point off the right upright. He hit the left upright on an extra point in the second quarter. On consecutive Chicago drives in the third quarter, Parkey rattled the right upright on a 41-yard field goal and again on a 34-yard attempt."I don't think I've hit the post four times in my whole life and I've been kicking probably for 15 years," Parkey said right after Chicago's third straight win.It got so bad that the crowd roared when the Bears went for a 2-point conversion after a touchdown later in the third. But Parkey's teammates offered their support."Everyone has a bad game every once in a while, so we're going to rally around him, continue to have his back," quarterback Mitchell Trubisky said, "and I know next week when we need it he's going to make a big kick and we're not even going to think twice about it. We're a family in that locker room, we have each other's back no matter what."Parkey connected on 21 of 23 field-goal attempts and 26 of 29 extra points last season with Miami, prompting Chicago to give him a four-year deal in free agency worth a little more than $15 million. It included a signing bonus of $2.25 million and a fully guaranteed base salary for the first two years, making it unlikely the Bears will cut him.The 26-year-old Parkey has missed five field goals in 18 attempts this season. The empty extra points were his first two in 32 tries.Nagy chalked up the performance to a bad day."You go back to a few weeks ago when Mason Crosby missed a few for Green Bay and then the next week he ended up kicking the game winner A’Shawn Robinson Jersey ," Nagy said. "It's just a crazy cycle and it's just a matter of your patience that you have with it and fortunately for us yesterday we did have the lead. … But now, he also needs to take the next step of trying to figure out how he can get better and we'll go ahead and do that."One way might be some practice time at Soldier Field, one of the NFL's toughest spots for kickers because of its proximity to Lake Michigan. Nagy said they are discussing the possibility.How quickly Parkey can recover from his difficulties against Detroit could be huge for Chicago (6-3), which hosts Minnesota on Sunday night. The Vikings have won four of five and are second in the division with a 5-3-1 record.The Bears and Lions play again on Thanksgiving in Detroit, and Chicago also hosts Green Bay and visits Minnesota before the season ends. Asked about balancing support for Parkey with any frustration with his performance, Nagy said he believes in being honest."I'm not going to sugarcoat anything and he wouldn't want that from me," he said. "So we'll have our own conversations and keep it between us, but I'll always handle it as best as I can for the team and for him and then just stick with my gut."
