Lions coach Duce Staley on facing Eagles: 'It'll be real good to go out there and smack them in the mouth'

Among the Week 1 reunions in the NFL are Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield taking the field against his former Cleveland Browns teammates, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson traveling to face the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets signal-caller Joe Flacco getting the starting nod in a matchup with his former employer in the Baltimore Ravens. Another one will take place during the NFC contest between the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.

Duce Staley is starting his second season as the Lions assistant head coach and running backs coach. Prior to that, he spent nine years as a coach with the Eagles. Of course, Staley is best known for his 10-season NFL career from 1997 to 2006 though, the bulk of which was spent in Philadelphia.

Although Sunday's game is in Detroit, the 47-year-old discussed what it will be like to square off against the organization that he was a part of for a good chunk of his adult life.
