didn't get to listen to the press conference at all... but sumed up in Tim Twentyman's tweets:

ttwentyman: Caldwell, Austin and Lombardi will be available today at 10. @czarnika: @ttwentyman @RyJoDetroit Press conference?
ttwentyman: Austin said the #Lions have playmakers on defense but need to sure up some areas. Let's not forget he's an experienced DB coach.
ttwentyman: Austin is like a lot of defensive coaches in the NFL in that he values bigger cornerbacks.
ttwentyman: Austin: "You can't pressure (blitz) all day but you can't four-man rush all day either."
ttwentyman: Austin: "In the NFL you can't have too many corners."
ttwentyman: Austin said the #Lions sack numbers will increase this year. Spoke highly of Suh, Fairley and Ziggy.
ttwentyman: Austin said he'll emphasis turnovers. He doesn't want his players to knock passes down in practice. Intercept it. Strip it. Force turnovers.
ttwentyman: Austin said there will be more accountability for players who have a pattern of making mistakes
ttwentyman: Lombardi is up next
ttwentyman: Caldwell said he wanted an OC who came from a "cutting edge system."
ttwentyman: Lombardi said he'll call plays on Sunday but it will be a collaborative effort during the week.
ttwentyman: Lombardi said the team will hire a quarterback coach. "I'd certainly like one."
ttwentyman: Lombardi said this offense will look a lot like the Saints' but there will be some differences.
ttwentyman: Lombardi: "Every quarterback can tighten up his footwork."
DetroitLionsNFL: Lombardi watched all Stafford’s INTs in depth. Walked away knowing he’s not an “INT machine” bc there were plenty of factors at play #Lions
ttwentyman: Lombardi asked about Calvin and the abuse he takes: "You always have to be aware of the ware and tear on players."
