Kitna to see reduced role: Lions QB Jon Kitna's role this season will change a bit, with the departure of Mike Martz and the entry of the more conservative offensive coordinator Jim Colletto, reports the Detroit Free-Press. "There's going to be more responsibility for me, but I welcome that," Kitna said. "I'm kind of a control freak by nature and so it's a good thing. The other thing is, I think it will encourage more dialogue between myself and the receivers and the linemen and what they're seeing, and I can take input from them." Kitna said the offense worked on about 35 plays Tuesday in minicamp, and he estimated half were runs. (Updated 05/07/2008).
