What's At Stake For the Detroit Lions In 2023 The Detroit Lions started with a shot heard around the NFL world. Dan Campbell blew up NFL news feeds with his press conference after being hired by the Detroit Lions. He and Brad Holmes began to talk about what it meant to be a Detroit Lion and how they would build the team. Dan Campbell famously said, "You've had enough of that shit" referring directly to how this had been handled in the past. After an agonizing start to the new front office and coaching staff's tenure, a trajectory started to form, with the Detroit Lions finally credibly trending in the right direction.

Detroit Lions General Manager Brad Holmes Does A Heel Turn The newest addition to the Detroit Lions Podcast team, Michael Grey, opens his coverage with the latest on Brad Holmes and how he is driving the Detroit Lions in a new and winning direction. He discusses Jamaal Williams trade, trading within the NFC North division, and how Brad Holmes approaches improving the Detroit Lions roster. Michael also talks about the "heel turn" that Brad Holmes took in 2023 - and it all started at the 2023 NFL combine. Brad Holmes has finally started to reveal his full power and there are 31 teams in the NFL paying attention to the new odds on favorite to win the NFC in 2023. Detroit Lions Podcast Highlights The New Brad Holmes Character Detroit Lions fans have embraced the "Villain" hoodie that Lions GM Brad Holmes donned at the 2023 NFL Combine, but few looked past the surface of the hoodie and toward the message Holmes was actually sending. Michael Grey breaks it down prior to the Detroit Lions recent signing of safety CJ Gardner Johnson, but that signing only screams the point louder. Brad Holmes is the Detroit Lions villain. The exact kind of villain Detroit has needed for over half a century. https://youtu.be/HbFwpjLkAuQ Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

The Lions have signed a number key free agents this year so far including CB Cam Sutton, CB Emmanuel Moseley, and RB David Montgomery. They have also retained DL Isiah Buggs, RB Craig Reynolds, LB Alex Anzalone, and Edge John Cominsky. There is a notable re-signing exception in fan favorite, Jamaal Williams.

Scott Bischoff provides his thoughts on what’s happened in the 2023 NFL Combine and what that means specifically for the Detroit Lions. There is discussion on Jalen Carter and his legal situation, and how the Lions can get to a comfortable place to take him at six overall. Carter is an uber-talented player and a fantastic prospect, and there is plenty of time for his issues to resolve. He also talks about quarterbacks, and why they are in a position to bring a player in that can sit for a year. There are tiers of quarterbacks in this class, with Hendon Hooker being in a tier of his own. Hooker is a very intriguing prospect. Detroit Lions Podcast NFL Combine Update – Defensive Tackle & Quarterback Brian Branch did not test like an elite athlete, might he be there at 18? More conversation on cornerbacks like Joey Porter Jr., Christian Gonzalez, D.J. Turner settling into Round 2, Emmanuel Forbes weighing in very small, and the idea that GM Brad Holmes might double up at the cornerback position in this draft. Some conversation about defensive tackle, and hoe Jalen Carter’s legal issues could muddy the water for the tackle position in the draft. A touch of running back discussion, and some discussion about tight end Darnell Washington. Lastly, Scott talks about the addition of edge defender Tyree Wilson and how nasty that would make their defensive line. https://youtu.be/ABKJgvwWgNM Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

In this video we discuss general thoughts on the 2023 NFL Combine through Saturday. The quarterbacks separating themselves at the top are C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young, and Will Levis. We are looking at a weaker receiver class, but Quentin Johnston and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are legit NFL receivers, and Bryce Ford-Wheaton had an incredible workout. His workout and size are reminiscent of Christian Watson last year. Detroit Lions Podcast NFL Combine Update – Cornerback & Tight End There is a small group of excellent tight end prospects, but overall, there are very solid tight ends at all levels of the draft. The Lions could find a very solid player with the pick they received in the T.J. Hockenson trade. The defensive tackle group is solid with Bryan Bresee, Calijah Kancey, and Jalen Carter being the dudes. We are looking at a solid edge class, but not elite. I am not totally sold on Will Anderson as I want him winning more outside the offensive tackle than he does. Tyree Wilson is legit and would likely have had a very strong performance if he would have worked out. There is a small group of cornerbacks at the top of the draft. Christian Gonzalez, Joey Porter Jr., and Devon Witherspoon are the players at the top. There are several players I think the Lions should avoid, starting with Emmanuel Forbes who weighed in at 166 lbs. Deonte Banks is super intriguing, and he should rise with his excellent performance in Indianapolis. Gonzalez is an elite mover, but I worry about his level of compete, and wonder if he fits in Detroit? Witherspoon and Gonzalez are opposite types of players. https://youtu.be/8XhndxxiM_w Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

With that win, the Detroit Lions secured their first winning season since 2017. Detroit Lions Podcast Wraps Up The Season and Begins Off-season Coverage The Detroit Lions and Brad Holmes have a lot to build on from the 2022 NFL season. Head Coach Dan Campbell has proven himself a force in the NFL. Criticized early for his clock management and game management mistakes, he has learned, grown and gotten much better in those areas. The Detroit Lions front office, ownership, and fans all seem to be quite happy with the coach that Dan Campbell has quickly grown into. Additionally, Brad Holmes says he’s happy with Jared Goff and his performance. Quoted as saying, “its a lot easier to get worse at quarterback”, there a number of fans and pundits seem split on whether Goff is “the guy” for the Detroit Lions. We’ll discuss that on this week’s show. We’ve seen a huge amount of growth and development from the younger players on the Detroit Lions team as well. We’ll start our discussions regarding the draft and free agency and look at which positions and players the Lions might target. This could be a big year for Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions personnel. We’ll cover that and a whole lot more – we’ve got a great show, so buckle up! Speaking of “buckle up”, make sure to head over to our project with Detroit Lions shutdown cornerback Jerry Jacobs to help charities in Detroit.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff are back with the latest Detroit Lions rumors and news. Last week’s loss to the Carolina Panthers has a number of Lions fans shook. With two games left, and a fan base that’s moving the goalposts faster than Jamo can run the 40, the Detroit Lions will need to bring the pain in the last two weeks of the season to help fans walk away from the season with confidence that the team’s turnaround is for real. Detroit Lions Podcast Ready To Drag The Chicago Bears The 7-8 Lions are facing off against the Chicago Bears this week, a team that lacks an identity other than the name Justin Fields. They’ve gone from a defensive powerhouse who is only a quarterback away, to a team with a quarterback, and nothing else. Their current record has them as the second worst team in the league – even the Russell Wilson led Denver Broncos have more wins than the Chicago Bears. That being said, the Detroit Lions have their work cut out for them coming off of a difficult loss against the Carolina Panthers and going toe-to-toe with a division rival. The Bears and Lions are always a tough game, we’ll preview that for you and a whole lot more! Its going to be an awesome show, so buckle up!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman are back to react to the result of the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers game. Lions win celebration? Detroit Lions loss therapy? We’re always ready for whatever comes, and we’re here to help you along the way. The biggest question facing the Lions and Detroit Lions fans, can this Lions team keep the foot on the gas, keep winning games, and take the Detroit Lions to the playoffs? Winning out the season can’t be stressed enough, its the one way that the Detroit Lions can retain control in their hunt for a playoff opportunity. This is a crucial game for the Detroit Lions and will define whether the Lions continue to have a road to the playoffs. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts The Carolina Panthers have their own playoff hopes to content with. With the firing of head coach Matt Rhule this year, the Carolina Panthers chances were written off early. The NFC South doesn’t seem to have a team that really wants to take the division convincingly, so a number of bad teams have an opportunity at a decent playoff spot – the Carolina Panthers being one of them. Sam Darnold has played surprisingly well for a team that also ditched its starting quarterback in Baker Mayfield. Its been quite a turn of events in Carolina, and the Panthers are going to prove no easy task for the Detroit Lions. The weather will definitely be a factor as well. Forecast to be one of the coldest games ever played in Carolina. As a major storm sweeps across the United States, a number of games are at risk of having the weather create difficult playing conditions. Its bound to be a crazy week across the entire NFL this week. This game is key to the future of the Detroit Lions 2022 NFL season and playoff hopes. The Carolina Panthers are very much in the same boat – both teams have a lot to gain out of a win this week. Buckle up, its going to be a great show!

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast for Week 15. This week’s show is a solo effort from Jeff Risdon with co-host Chris being under the weather. We hope to be back together for the regular live show and stream following the Lions’ Week 16 game against the Panthers. Detroit Lions Podcast Goes Solo With it being a solo show, the focus is narrowed a bit. One of the primary topics comes from the Patreon Slack channel, the smartest Lions chat on the internet. The question was asked, “Has the Lions’ margin for error improved lately?” There is a review of the Lions in the Pro Bowl and why the honor matters, as well as why it’s not always the most deserving players who get those nods. With safety DeShon Elliott ruled out vs. the Panthers, who steps up and gets the starting nod? There is more love given to the emerging Detroit defense, including one big reason why the Lions should be able to stop the Panthers pretty effectively. Buckle up, The Riz is going all in!

It was a comfortable win, one in which the Lions excelled in all three phases of the game, and one that has Detroit rising up the power rankings quickly.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Ash are back to react to the result of the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars game. Lions win celebration? Detroit Lions loss therapy? We’re always ready for whatever comes, and we’re here to help you along the way. The biggest question facing the Lions and Detroit Lions fans, does the return of Jameson Williams signal the start of a Lions run to the playoffs? This game will be the decider on whether the Detroit Lions remain in the hunt for that wildcard playoff opportunity. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts The Detroit Lions offense needs to take advantage of the weaknesses that can be found on the Jaguars defense. Jacksonville Jaguars are weak against the pass over the middle, at one outside cornerback and the nickle corner position. If the Lions can get Jameson Williams lined up against the Jags Montaric Brown, magic could happen very quickly. Amon Ra St Brown should have some great opportunities over the middle as well. This is going to be a game that hinges on the ability of the Detroit Lions offense to score. They put up the points, and they’ll walk away winners this week. On the Defensive side of the ball, the Lions have Jeff Okudah, Romeo Okwara, and Josh Paschal returning to the team from injuries, and just as other teams are feeling the pain of injuries, the Detroit Lions are starting to get healthy. If the Lions defense can play the way they have the last few weeks and Aidan Hutchinson and and Alim McNeil can continue their strong run, the Detroit Lions have a great opportunity to shut down the Jacksonville Jaguars offense. Of course, the Jacksonville Jaguars are getting paid as well, and they’ll have a say in the outcome of this game. One can’t look past the Jags, as they are also a team on the rise and one that should be taken seriously. Its going to be an awesome show, so buckle up! Speaking of “buckle up”, make sure to head over to our project with Detroit Lions shutdown cornerback Jerry Jacobs to help charities in Detroit.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff are back like Thanksgiving leftovers. With a 10-day break the Lions have time to recover from some injuries, get ready for the Jacksonville Jaguars, clean up a few things, and push to the end of the season. Is it over? Nope, not technically. The Lions could do it, but it is definitely going to be a tough road to get to the NFL playoffs. Detroit Lions Podcast Ready For Final Push Of The 2022 NFL Season We need to have a quick conversation about the game against the Buffalo Bills. The Lions were in a game against a potential Super Bowl contender until the very end only to have their hopes dashed in spectacular fashion. The national media is praising the Detroit Lions for the progress they have made and the local media and fans are just not having it. There is a lot of criticism of this team, yet they continue to play at an above-expected level for this point in the rebuild. There is more to be written on the Detroit Lions season, and it will be interesting to see how a world of people who predicted no more than 6 wins reacts to a 7 or 8 win season… We will also discuss whether we will see Jameson Williams and what his potential return looks like, discuss Jared Goff’s performance against the Buffalo Bills, talk playoffs, and preview the Jacksonville Jaguars. Its going to be a great game, and its going to be an awesome show, so buckle up!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman are back to react to the result of the Detroit Lions and New York Giants game. Lions win celebration? Detroit Lions loss therapy? We’re always ready for whatever comes, and we’re here to help you along the way. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts The New York Giants are performing at a level that no one predicted this year. People are throwing around words like, “fraud”, “unsustainable”, and “pretenders”. No matter the pejoratives people choose to use, the New Your Giants have a 7-2 record heading into their game against the Detroit Lions. They’ve ridden the strength of their defensive front and cornerback play to that record, and we’ll discuss how the Detroit Lions offensive line stood up to the test. Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and Darius Slayton will be putting the Detroit Lions defense to the test. The New York Giants key vulnerabilities are at linebacker, safety and at the slot corner position, so we’ll see if the Detroit Lions offense was able capitalize in the middle of the field at Met Life stadium. Jared Goff will likely be leaning on Brock Wright, Jamaal Williams, D’Andre Swift, and Shane Zylstra to move the ball. With the potential return of DJ Chark, the Lions might be able to put the Giants safeties to the test deep as well. Coming off of a two win streak, the Detroit Lions are riding high hoping to put a third win in the bag. A win against the New York Giants would put the Lions in 2nd place in the NFC north, something considered inconceivable three weeks ago. This is a signature game for Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions organization. Its going to be an awesome show, so buckle up!

Lions fans are looking for their third win in a row from Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions which would be the first time they’ve achieved that feat in 5 years. The New York Giants have been found new life behind the legs of running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Daniel Jones. While the Lions have had their difficulties this season, many see this as a winnable game and don’t believe in the success that the New York Giants have found so far in the 2022 NFL season.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff are back like a pair of Lions divisional wins to talk about another Lions victory week! As we know, the Detroit Lions put a second win in a row in the bag by topping the Chicago Bears on Sunday to bring their divisional record over.500. Detroit Lions Podcast Laps Up Chicago Bears Fan Tears The Chicago Bears proved that the “meathead” title belongs in the windy city after their reaction to the home loss against the Detroit Lions this week. They made all of the mistakes that the Lions typically do and let a 14 point lead slip through their fingers. As a fan, I get it, but tough toenails kids. This is where your Bears are, eat it. After celebrating that win, we start discussing how the Detroit Lions Defense has evolved. What has changed schematically, what’s changed from a personnel perspective, and what do these changes mean to the defense and broader team in practice? There may be a redemption arc on the defensive side of the ball, definitely something to keep an eye on. Dan Campbell’s coaching message seems to be landing with the players, and fans are starting to hop back on the train. It was a treacherous time in Detroit Lions land after that loss to the Patriots, but as we mentioned earlier, winning fixes everything. Fans are certainly hungry for more! We’ll talk about Aubrey Pleasant’s new job with the Green Bay Packers, and provide our first preview of the Detroit Lions game against the New York Giants at Meadowlands Stadium. Its an chance to seal the idea that the Lions are up to something good. Past teams would have choked on this opportunity, can Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions seize the day? Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants – its going to be a big one. Also, its going to be an awesome show, so buckle up!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman are back to react to the result of the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears game. Lions win celebration? Detroit Lions loss therapy? We’re always ready for whatever comes, and we’re here to help you along the way. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts The Chicago Bears seem to have finally realized that Justin Fields is much more dangerous on the ground than via the air. Once the started designing the offense around Justin Fields as a dual threat, they started finding success in the NFL. This feels like a good week to start mixing in Justin Fields arm with his ground game and frustrating the Detroit Lions game plan. There’s no guarantee that Justin Fields can execute an NFL-caliber passing attack, and the Detroit Lions are looking to prove that he can’t. With the return of Jerry Jacobs across the field from Jeff Okudah, and Kerby Joseph rising fast, the Detroit Lions have new found trust in their secondary that didn’t exist earlier in the year. Josh Paschal and John Cominsky returning from injury have bolstered the Detroit Lions defensive line to a level of play it hasn’t been able to achieve until recently. The tale of this game is going to revolve around the play of Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions offense. The Lions offense has been maddening in its inconsistency this year. A lot of that can be attributed to a string of injuries, but the Detroit Lions need to see “Goo Jared Goff” this week at Soldier Field if they have any hope of victory. Its going to be an awesome show, so buckle up! Speaking of “buckle up”, make sure to head over to our project with Detroit Lions shutdown cornerback Jerry Jacobs to help charities in Detroit.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Ash are back to react to the result of the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers game. Lions win celebration? Detroit Lions lose therapy? We’re always ready for both, and here to help you along the way. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts What a pivotal week for both Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers fans. With two potential scenarios both teams fate hinge on the unpredictability of the Lions. For example, if the Lions win… It could be enough to cause Aaron Rodgers to call the season (“we own you!”). That happens and packers fans begin the revolt. Jordan Love becomes the “guy” with a bunch of drop-prone receivers and a fan base that is split between making up with Rodgers, tanking to draft their next QB, and a couple who are “all-in” on Jordan Love. End result, the Packers franchise descends into the decades of humiliation they are due and fans refer to the “Aaron Rodgers curse…” If the Lions lose, it’s just closer to draft season. Nothing to see here, we’re used to it. Either way, buckle up it’s going to be a wild ride!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff are back to chronicle the plight of the Detroit Lions while they push toward rebuild number 64. There is a lot to discuss regarding the progress the team has made so far and it seems like a fair time to ask if the Detroit Lions rebuild has stalled. Detroit Lions Podcast Reviews Rebuild It’s that time of year again. The Detroit Lions have found yet another way to lose a crucial game, giving fans yet another reason to question the progress of the team’s rebuild. The one consistent thing about the Lions losses this year are how inconsistent they are. Going from the top scoring offense in the league to one of the worst. From a bottom-ranked defense, to a squad performing at a much higher level. From having the quarterback who can seemingly get it done, to discussion of who the Detroit Lions will grab first overall in the draft to distribute the ball in 2023. The one consistent thing, as it has been for decades, the Lions get no justice from the officials. We’ll talk about what we’re seeing in all of those areas, talk about the future of Jared Goff, and discuss the threshold for Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes to maintain their jobs. There’s a lot to discuss, and some of it won’t be easy, so buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride! Speaking of “buckle up”, make sure to head over to our project with Detroit Lions shutdown cornerback Jerry Jacobs to help charities in Detroit. Its a great opportunity to get some great gear and make a difference in the city we all love. Check Out Our Updated Look On YouTube!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman are back and ready to react to the result of the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys game today. We’re here to help everyone with the day’s results whether Lions fans are celebrating, or need a therapy session after the game. Detroit Lions Podcast Eyes The Dallas Cowboys Many Detroit Lions fans decided the bye week was a great time to walk away from the team and reset their expectations. Maybe re-prioritize the team, get some family time in, and maybe even hit the cider mill to grab some donuts and cider. A quick week slides bye, and here we are back at Detroit Lions game day, facing off against another opponent, and ready to be disappointed. The Dallas Cowboys are at home, getting Dak Prescott back, likely to change things up on defense, and are licking their chops to finally face a defense with problems like the Detroit Lions squad. Many Lions fans have already written this game off and are looking toward a game they think the Lions might have a better chance of winning. This is exactly when the Detroit Lions strike and put together a game in which they otherwise had been written off. The Lions have a top 5 scoring offense in the NFL, and after the Patriots game, teams think they have the Lions offense figured out. As a team that has low expectations from fans, a loss is just “par for the course” SOL etc. A win? The fan base would be revitalized, the SOL crew would be quieted, and the conversation will be about whether the bye week was the moment that cemented the “greatness” of the Detroit Lions and was the launch pad for their success going forward. Buckle up, it’s going to be a crazy ride! Speaking of “buckle up”, make sure to head over to our project with Detroit Lions shutdown cornerback Jerry Jacobs to help charities in Detroit.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff return with the latest news and rumors about the Detroit Lions. The bye week is over and the Detroit Lions are back on the field this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has Dak Prescott returning to the field after being sidelined with a significant thumb injury. With the Lions heading to Dallas to take on a hungry Prescott, they have a lot to prove to fans and ownership after their performance so far in the 2022 NFL season. Detroit Lions Podcast Looking For Light From an injury perspective, the Lions appear to be getting a few players back from injury this week, which will definitely provide a lift for a team that desperately right now. A win for the Detroit Lions will go a long way to turn around the current perspective on the team and coaching staff. There are reports of the coaching staff’s seat’s being “on fire” right now, but seeing everything that’s going right with this team and how the roster has turned around so far, its far too early to pull the trigger. Injuries remain a huge issue for the team, and steps need to be taken to minimize or eliminate those no matter who is coaching this team. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Ash are back and ready to react to the result of the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots game today. We’re here to help whether Lions fans are celebrating or need a therapy session after the game. Detroit Lions Podcast Faces Matt Patricia So Lions fans are going to have to hear the stories and relive moments of Matt Patricia this week. Win or lose, Sandman is going to need some counseling after being triggered by seeing the man who touched him in the fandom again. Matt Patricia and Bill Belichick are home trying to help Bailey Zappe to bring home a win against Dan Campbell, Jared Goff, and the Detroit Lions while Mac Jones recovers from injury. The Lions have the #1 scoring offense in the NFL, and the Patriots… don’t. While Belichick’s New England Patriots are good at limiting opponent’s strengths and exploiting their weaknesses, the odds-makers have this game basically set at even odds. Win or lose, we’ll be here for Lions fans to discuss the latest in our Detroit Lions/ New England Patriots post game show! Buckle up, it’s going to be big!

The Detroit Lions face the New England Patriots for the first time in the 2022 NFL season and the Lions defense had what can only be considered one of their worst games of the Dan Campbell era last week against the Seattle Seahawks. When analyzing how the Lions can improve their defense, all eyes point to first round pick, Aidan Hutchinson. Detroit Lions Podcast Design Aidan Hutchinson Improvement Aidan Hutchinson could potentially be hindered by the Detroit Lions playing him out of a 3-point stance. The Detroit Lions scheme is designed for Hutchinson to play out of a 3-point stance. Scott Bischoff looks at what it might look like for Aidan Hutchinson to move out a little wider and line up in a 2-point stance. He talks about how this might help Hutchinson get to the quarterback more often and be more disruptive in the opposing backfield. Scott also discusses what this means to the Detroit Lions defensive scheme and how they may be able to adjust to allow for Hutchinson to work in this way and improve his effectiveness. Everything comes at a cost, and Scott also looks at that. You can see the video version of this podcast on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/SPRbfx6Euak Get yourself a Classic Detroit t-shirt here!

The Detroit Lions face the New England Patriots for the first time in the 2022 NFL season. Lions fans have some unfinished business with former Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia, but Bill Belichick has other plans having watched his team lose the last meeting between the Patriots and Lions. Scott takes a look at what it will take for the Lions to pull out a win against the Patriots in Foxborough. Detroit Lions Podcast Previews The New England Patriots Scott Bischoff spends some analyzing key match-ups for a heavily injured Detroit Lions team and looks to how the Patriots might try to schematically slow the Lions offense. Scott takes a look at Aidan Hutchinson’s play and what the Lions defense might do to help him find more success. He also discusses how the rest of the Detroit Lions defense might adjust to cover some of the serious gaps they’ve shown in the 2022 NFL season so far.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff return with the latest news and conversation about the Detroit Lions. Its a strange universe we’re living in as Lions fans right now. With the team’s record being 1-3 and staring at the coach they fired for their last game prior to the bye week, its hard to know what to think, or what to expect this week. We’ve got you covered and will help you make sense of it all. Detroit Lions Podcast Makes Sense Of It All Detroit Lions fans must feel like they are taking crazy pills these days. When the offense is on the field, their team scores more points than any team in the NFL. When the defense takes the field though… They allow more points than any team in the NFL. Detroit Lions fans, coaches, and players are all frustrated with the dichotomy they are facing, and Coach Dan Campbell has vowed to make changes to clean things up on defense starting this week. Will it work? We might have a few suggestion for him along the way… After we show the way for coaches Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn to fix the defense, we’ll talk about fan expectations. What to look for, what to expect, and to think back about where we thought this team was at the beginning of the year. At that point 6 wins was pretty much the agreed-upon number. Knowing these players and this coaching staff, there’s going to be a surge coming from this Detroit Lions team real soon. We’ll also talk about the return of Jerry Jacobs, Josh Paschal, and facing off against the man who touched Sandman right in his fandom, Matt Patricia. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Scott are here to break down the latest Lions news after the Detroit Lions faced off against the Seattle Seahawks. Its a tough time for the Detroit Lions and their fans right now. After their season on Hard Knocks and the expectations that have been created around progress in the rebuild, last week’s loss against the Minnesota Vikings started putting serious questions in the minds of those who expect progress from the Lions. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts to Seattle Seahawks Detroit Lions fans aren’t interested in hearing about the effect of injuries on the team in the game against the Seattle Seahawks – even though there are a number of key players out this week. It feels like the team spent the entirety of the 2021 NFL season battling from behind due to injury. Progress needs to be attained for fans who are growing more restless with each game. The Seattle Seahawks are having troubles of their own and are ready to be plucked, particularly while playing on the road. The Lions desperately need a win this week, or if they lose, there can’t be any serious questions about coaching. Another coaching loss will raise some serious questions about what type of product is actually being produced by much loved coach Dan Campbell. Can the Lions capitalize against the Seahawks? We will see in this NFL week 4 match-up – and we’ll break everything down right here in your Detroit Lions vs. Seattle Seahawks Post Game Show. Buckle up, it’s going to be big!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman are here to break down the latest Lions news after the Detroit Lions face off against the Minnesota Vikings. The Lions are riding high as one of the op-scoring teams in the league, while the Minnesota Vikings are coming off of a short week taking a loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Across the board analysts say the Lions outperformed the Vikings against the Eagles, but there’s a reason they play the games, and today will tell the tale of who stands taller. Detroit Lions Podcast Downgrades The Minnesota Vikings The Detroit Lions are a different team in 2022 than they were in 2021, and they took huge strides from the team they were before at that point. Hard Knocks this year solidified that the Lions aren’t the team that everyone used to scoff at. Grit is the work the staff likes to use, but to the Detroit Lions, its not just a word. The Lions lead the league in running yards before contact, they lost by just 3 points to a team they lost by 38 to last year. The Lions are about to face the Minnesota Vikings at US Bank Stadium (U Spank Stadium) who they nearly beat last year. Momentum is on the side of the Detroit Lions. Can they capitalize against the Minnesota Vikings? We will see in this NFL week 3 match-up – and we’ll break everything down right here in your Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings Post Game Show.

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff are back at it to discuss the latest Detroit Lions news and rumors. After the Lions big win against the Washington Commanders, they look to recover from the injuries that have popped up, continue developing their squad, and begin preparations for their next game against their division rival, the Minnesota Vikings. Detroit Lions Podcast News and Rumors We’ll spend some time looking at the Detroit Lions win over the Washington Commanders and some of the specific things the Lions did well. Coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff have both said there are still things they can do better, and we’ll look at a few of those along the way as well. We’re also going to take a look at some of the Lions injuries, what to look for and who stepped up in this week’s game (hint: see Dan Skipper in the thumbnail!). We’ll discuss some PFF scores, who isn’t getting credit for the quality of their play, and who might be getting a little too much. From there, we’ll take a look ahead to the Minnesota Vikings game as US Bank Stadium (U Spank stadium). What do the Lions have to worry about against Kirk Cousins and the Vikings as well as the keys to victory. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show!

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Ash are back with this week’s post game show. The Detroit Lions took on the Washington Commanders today and whether its a celebration or a therapy session, the Detroit Lions Podcast is here to help. While the Defense has been a big story for the Lions so far, injuries to the offensive line are becoming a bigger story. Detroit Lions Podcast Washington Commanders Post Game The Detroit Lions are starting the season off on the wrong foot again with injuries across the offensive line. With all the high quality players they have and the fact that this line is believed to be a top 3 line in the league when healthy. Its another gut punch to have the starters unable to play a single snap of the season together through at least two games, potentially all 17. Can Hank Fraley’s piecemeal line step up to the task and protect Jared Goff from the vaunted Washington Commanders defensive front? This will be a key story to watch in this week’s game. Will D’Andre Swift be able to meet his production from last week despite his injury and the fact that he isn’t starting the game? There are a lot of questions about this Detroit Lions team mostly due to injury heading into this week two match-up against the Washington Commanders. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff are back together again with our first show after the start of the 2022 Detroit Lions NFL season. The Lions had a heck of a game against the Eagles, and showed the grit that coach Dan Campbell continues to preach. Playing through a tough first half, the team adjusted and came back to play the Philadelphia Eagles to a close loss. What does this mean for the Lions? SOL? Knocking rust? We’ll get into that and more. Detroit Lions Podcast Moral Victory or Progress? There’s a lot to unpack about the Lions performance, and we’ll go into it pretty deeply. We saw some significant output from Detroit Lions players that we need to unpack. D’Andre Swift had a heck of a game falling just short in the FedEx Ground Player of the Week voting. Jeff Okudah saw his first action since his Achilles injury in the first game of the season last year. We’ll talk about what we saw from him as well. The defense… was on the field. We’ll talk about their performance and what we should expect to see from them going forward and a whole lot more. We’ll also take a look at the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders. As always, we’ve got a great show for you this week on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show! Speaking of “buckle up”, make sure to head over to our project with Detroit Lions shutdown cornerback Jerry Jacobs to help charities in Detroit. Its a great opportunity to get some great gear and make a difference in the city we all love. Check Out Our Updated Look On YouTube!

Its finally here, the 2022 Detroit Lions NFL Season has kicked off against the Philadelphia Eagles! After an off-season of growth and improvement by both the Lions and Eagles, the rubber finally meets the road and we get our first chance to see the fruits of those labors. Was Jared Goff’s off-season improvement as big as has been reported? Have the Detroit Lions gotten past the injury woes that plagued the team in 2021? Which Detroit Lions news and rumors have come true and which were nothing but a smokescreen? There’s one thing that always clears the air – and that’s a football game. We’ll cover it all in our live post game show. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts To The Philadelphia Eagles Of course, the Philadelphia Eagles are working for a paycheck as well, and they get a say in the game. As the heavily favored team in this match-up with a highly praised defense and a confident Jalen Hurts, the Eagles are primed for a big season. Game 1 is going to be interesting, and the Detroit Lions Podcast is here to react to what we saw at Ford Field today. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show!

This week Chris and Jeff get together to discuss the latest from the Detroit Lions ahead of the start of the 2022 NFL season and the final episode of Hard Knocks. The Lions ended the series in a grand fashion, and we got to see a whole lot more of what makes this team tick. It obviously bodes well for the locker room, but will it translate to performance on the football field? Detroit Lions Podcast Gears Up For 2022 NFL Season With the preseason wrapped, the Lions begin their preparation for their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles today. All the questions that remain will be answered in the coming weeks, and we’ll start to get a sense of the fruits of the labor invested by the front office in building and coaching this team. Detroit Lions fans are in a hopeful place as they set off on what might be their most difficult matchup of the season, but we also know the coaching staff has had this game circled on the calendar for a long time. Will the team’s preparation be enough? We’ll take a look and discuss what we see. There are a few Detroit Lions injuries to discuss, the biggest one (both in size and impact) is Halapoulivaati Vaitai. His back issues have the team working on their back up plan out of the gate. What does this mean for the Lions in week 1 as well as going forward? We got you covered on that one. There’s also questions and mystery surrounding who will be calling plays for the Detroit Lions offense, and a former player joining the ranks of the coaching staff immediately after being cut. There’s a lot to talk about this week as the Detroit Lions prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show! Speaking of “buckle up”, make sure to head over to our project with Detroit Lions shutdown cornerback Jerry Jacobs to help charities in Detroit.

Detroit Lions Podcast First Look At The 2022 Roster Across the league, over 850 players were notified that their dream of playing football in the NFL was likely over.

This week Chris and Jeff get together again to break down the latest from Detroit Lions land. With the first preseason game in the books last night and the first episode of Hard Knocks having been released this week, there is a ton to talk about. Detroit Lions Podcast Preseason Breakdown We’ll start with a recap of the first preseason game of 2022 in which the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons faced off at Ford Field. The NFL Network pulled some shenanigans on out of market watchers (which is why we 100% want the NFL not to bring the Sunday Ticket in-house) leaving us without a (legal) way to watch the end of the game in which the Lions squandered their lead and lost the game. That cost Chris $2, but its not the end of the world… We’ll talk about who shined and who stunk, we’ll also cover the first episode of Hard Knocks this week. What a great episode. Having watched it numerous times, we can say with certainty, you can’t help but love these coaches and this team. We’ll also discuss the big picture for the Detroit Lions. What’s going well, what needs work, are they on the path they say they are? We’ll answer those questions and a whole lot more in this week’s episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast.

We’ll also laugh at ESPN for their terrible O-Line rankings of the Detroit Lions top five front, and we’ll continue a bit of our Goff and Stafford talk trying to provide some perspective for fans about who they are looking at, and why it seems that Jared Goff might not be getting a fair shake from Detroit Lions fans and media. Of course, we’ll cover some Hard Knocks information as we get ready to start counting down the hours instead of days until we get to see our beloved Lions under the big lights of HBO’s premiere football offering. Additionally, we’ll talk a bit about Tracy Walker’s signing and what it says about the Detroit Lions staff and team. Buckle up, it’s going to be a big show!

In this week’s show Chris and Jeff get together to break down the latest from Detroit Lions Rookie Camp, game schedule, St. Jude Charity Fundraiser, and more! There have been a number of great Detroit Lions press conferences over the course of the last week. The Detroit Lions draft picks have been at the mic, a number of vets, and we’ve seen how the players are moving in their walk-throughs. We’ll have our first impressions ready to share with you and a few predictions based on what we’ve seen so far. Detroit Lions Podcast – Rookies Are Checking All The Boxes Great work by the rookies so far, and great attitudes all around. There were some SOL fans talking about Jameson Williams not being happy to be with the team immediately following the draft, but he’s put those dopey takes straight to bed. Jamo is out there learning as much as he can while his knee continues to heal. There are a few conflicting opinions about his timing to hit the field, we’ll talk about those and what we expect. The Detroit Lions schedule came out after much anticipation. Some people feel disrespected, others appreciate how it landed. We’ll talk about that and share what we think about what it means and how it might change. We’ll also talk about some contract differences that contrast well with where the team is today and where it was at the last ground up rebuild. What’s similar, what’s different, and how the Lions might just be in a better position. Also, we’ll take live call-in questions as well as questions from the chat during our mail bag segment.

In this week’s show Chris and Jeff are back in the saddle after a minor delay (Chris forgot how to pack) with the latest Detroit Lions draft, free agency, and team news and rumors. It was a huge week for Detroit Lions news and rumors and Chris and Jeff are here to break it all down for you. Detroit Lions Podcast Preps For Hard Knocks The Detroit Lions have been selected for this year’s season of HBO’s Hard Knocks. What an amazing opportunity for the Lions to show their personality, heart, grit, and the culture that they are building in Allen Park. After some rock bottom years under Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn, the Detroit Lions have rejuvenated the organization’s culture in a year under the stewardship of Sheila Hamp, Brad Holmes, and Dan Campbell. This will certainly be on display for the rest of the league as HBO follows the team through the preseason. On the same day, the NFL announced that the 2024 NFL Draft will be held in the City of Detroit. This is a great opportunity for Detroit to continue to show the world that it is a first class city on the rise. We will, of course, have some amazing coverage, and be there for all of the action. Stand by for some big announcements. Over the next month leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, we will fill your information tank to keep you fully prepared for our Live Draft Party shows covering the first two days (rounds 1 – 3) of the 2022 NFL Draft.

In this week’s show Chris and Jeff are back in the saddle to bring you the first in a series of shows prepping you for the 2022 NFL Draft. There is a lot to talk about, particularly with the wide-ranging opinions on who lands where in the top 10 picks of the NFL Draft, Chris and Jeff try to pull it all together for you. Detroit Lions Podcast Paving The Road To the NFL Draft The 2022 NFL draft is unique in that there is limited consensus on where players will fall. Generally the top 10 picks aren’t seen as being as valuable as in most drafts, which adds an interesting spin when trying to divine what teams might do. During today’s coverage we are joined by Russell Brown from Woodward Sports to talk about the draft, what the Detroit Lions might be doing, and a few scenarios that could play out along the way. This is the first installment of our in-depth coverage on the road to the draft. We’ll also have Emory Hunt on the show to do a deep dive on the draft, and we’ll have at least two mock draft shows, gathering opinions from some of the best voices in the space. During those shows, we will conduct a mock draft of the entire first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Over the next month leading up to the draft, we will fill your information tank to keep you fully prepared for our Live Draft Party shows covering the first two days (rounds 1 – 3) of the 2022 NFL Draft.

There is a lot for the team to button up ahead of the open of NFL Free Agency on March 16. We’ll be joined for a portion of the show by special guest Scott Bischoff to cover many of the topics of the day. Detroit Lions Podcast Preps You For Free Agents We’ll cover the movement of veteran quarterbacks across the league, the good, the bad, and the Washington Commanders. We’ll cover what it means for the Detroit Lions and Jared Goff at quarterback as well. There’s been some franchise tag action around the league that we need to cover – particularly the effect on the free agent wide receiver market. We’ll also talk about the Detroit Lions exclusive right free agents that have been tendered. Additionally, we’ve got a great new player breakdown series coming on our YouTube channel. Colin (who you may remember from our Senior Bowl coverage) which kicked off with a look at Kyle Hamilton. Expect to see new player and positional breakdowns around players the Lions could be looking for at each point in the draft on every Monday and Friday up until the draft itself.

This week the inimitable Sandman steals the co-host mic from Jeff Risdon while Jeff is away covering the 2022 NFL combine for us. For those who might be alarmed by Jeff’s absence, worry not, we’ll get him on the phone to report on everything he’s seen and heard at the 2022 NFL Combine. He’s sure to bring some of that insider dust to today’s discussion, so be sure not to miss. Detroit Lions Podcast Wants Kyle Hamilton That being said, we embrace many voices on this show and on our YouTube channel. Its not about driving, forcing, or manufacturing consent. Sandman has a very strong opinion that Chris calls, “Why not Hamilton?” Rather than take an antagonistic approach, we will celebrate appreciative inquiry and let Sandman make his case – which is certain to be a solid one. Additionally, we’ve got a great new player breakdown series coming on our YouTube channel. Colin (who you may remember from our Senior Bowl coverage) is kicking that series off this Friday with a look at Kyle Hamilton. His pros, cons, and more.

Chris and Jeff will preview the combine, help you know what to look for, and who to watch along the way. Detroit Lions Podcast Will Be There Again The Detroit Lions Podcast will be live on-scene at the NFL Combine again this year. Our lively co-host Jeff Risdon will be on site providing updates and coverage as the week unfolds. As usual, we’ve got you covered, rain or shine. We’ll also discuss another Lions re-signing, a quick discussion about the difference between positional quality between drafts, and a little bit of a deeper dive on the positional value argument folks are making against taking Kyle Hamilton at #2 overall. We’ll make the case that it isn’t as out of place as people might tell you… More to come on that.

The Super Bowl is over, Matthew Stafford finally won himself a championship, it wasn’t in Detroit, so let’s move on. Now begins the biggest season of hope for the Detroit Lions, the offseason. With Free Agency coming followed by the 2022 NFL Draft, we decide to rank the Detroit Lions offseason needs in order from biggest need down to where they are most positionally secure. We’ll also start to contrast the Detroit Lions biggest free agent and draft needs against where that talent falls in the 2022 NFL Draft. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Coach Changes The Lions quietly made changes to the coaching staff by removing Inside Linebacker Coach Mark DeLeone. It took almost three days to break from when the change was made, congrats to Justin Rogers for chasing this down and reporting on it first. The team was very quiet about the change and wouldn’t elaborate on why the change was made. We talk about what happened and why it reflects so well on the Detroit Lions Front Office and Coaching Staff. We’ll cover the signing of Jason Cabinda, the Super Bowl, and a whole lot more in this week’s episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast. Big News On YouTube!

The 2022 off-season has begun for the Detroit Lions. Recently it was announced that the Lions will be coaching the American team at the 2022 Senior Bowl. This presents a great opportunity for Dan Campbell, Brad Holmes, and the rest of the Lions staff to get an up-close and personal look at some of the top prospects in the NFL Draft. They are currently releasing the players’ assignments by position group with some really great names landing on the Lions roster. Detroit Lions Podcast Loves Senior Bowl What better way to find out about the Senior Bowl than to check in with the event’s long time Executive Director, Jim Nagy. A true professional, and always a class act, he will talk Senior Bowl, selection process (both teams and players), his roots in Michigan, and a whole lot more. If you want to learn the best/most about the Senior Bowl – this is the time and place to do it. Detroit Lions Podcast Loves Jerry Jacobs We are again joined by our favorite cornerback in the NFL, Jerry Jacobs. He continues our series of conversations we started prior to 2021’s Lions training camp. We last left off at Jacobs being named to the Detroit Lions 53-man roster. Today we will discuss the 2021 Lions season, his rise and dominance at the cornerback position, the ill-timed knee injury, surgery, and start of the rehab process. Its been a roller coaster of a year for Jerry, but one thing is certain – has has everything it takes to be a starting corner in the NFL. We continue to be proud of his accomplishments, the man he’s becomes, and look forward to what he brings to the team in the 2022 NFL season. Big News On YouTube!

That was it. The last game of the 2021 NFL Season for the Detroit Lions. Dan Campbell and company’s first year rebuilding the Detroit Lions has come to an end and they are now entering phase 2 of the process. Brad Holmes will take the wheel and start steering the ship for the next few months, with Dan Campbell performing his postmortem and driving to improve his performance next year.

The Detroit Lions met the Green Bay Packers for the second time in the 2021 NFL season, this time at Ford Field. Both teams have pretty much set their respective positions in the playoffs or draft, so this game is about something a little different. Detroit Lions Podcast Previews The Green Bay Packers The Green Bay Packers look to be sitting some key players for this game. They have the top seed (and bye) locked in for the NFC, so resting key players makes a lot of sense. At the same time the Detroit Lions have pretty much locked in their 2nd overall draft pick, barring a miracle by Jacksonville, their seeding isn’t likely to change win or lose. In many cases a game like this would be just a nice way to lull away a Sunday afternoon, but the fact that it is within the division raises the stakes. Las Vegas set up the odds much differently this week than throughout the season, and this game just might prove to be fun to watch for Lions and Packers fans alike. We are joined (of course) by WWJ-Radio airtime superstar, Tony Ortiz, to break down what to expect in this match-up, and we’ll pick up some fun insider stories from TO along the way. We’ll cover some history between the teams, cover the Injury report for both teams, discuss match-ups, the Las Vegas odds and betting lines, and we’ll provide a final game prediction. This show is everything you need to get ready for game day with the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. Big News On YouTube!

After a close loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Detroit Lions are watching the season wind down with only two wins notched. Two games left means two more bites at the apple, two more opportunities to come up with another win. The Seattle Seahawks likely provide the best opportunity for the Lions in the remaining games. Playing in Seattle is always difficult, but there are a few gaps in the Seahawks armor these days. Detroit Lions Podcast Evaluation The Seattle Seahawks are on the brink of blowing it all up. With a complete rebuild on the horizon, and a Jekyll and Hyde type of 2021 NFL season, no one knows which Seattle team to expect to show up against the Detroit Lions. Russell Wilson may not be there next year, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll may not be there next year… Lions fans know how hard it can be to keep a team focused on and driving for victory when the real prize is being healthy and scoring a contract somewhere else next year. Detroit is in the opposite circumstance right now. A team on the rise with players who want to get themselves their next contract in town with a coaching staff that knows them, and what it takes to win. The Lions players have a lot to prove – and that just might be what it takes to carry them to victory against the Seahawks. We’ll also discuss what to look for on the offensive coordinator front from the Lions, and a whole lot more on this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast. Big News On YouTube!

The decimated Lions travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Lions have achieved in a strange way this season. Playing poorly against teams that they were supposed to beat while playing tight and even beating teams that were supposed to crush them. Its a sort of Yin-Yang, push-pull, giving fans “the ole in and out” (hat-tip: Clockwork Orange). Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts This has been a season in which the team has built a level of confidence that far outstrips their record. They’ve proved supremely competent at building a strong culture amongst players, coaches, and in the front office that will definitely carry this team forward. I don’t think the NFL has seen a team play as hard and as “bought in” as the Detroit Lions in the 2021 NFL season. Against the Falcons this week, the Lions are without starting quarterback Jared Goff and running back D’Andre Swift for the fourth week in a row. Jamaal Williams will be back and Tim Boyle is set to be the team’s signal caller. The Lions are definitely not favored to win this one, but if there’s anything we’ve learned about this team this year – they best chance for a win is when everyone has written them off. We react to the game, discuss the rest of the season, future of the team, and what’s to come on this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast post game show. Big News On YouTube!

After the Detroit Lions convincing win over Pro Bowl quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals. Interestingly, the Cardinals have never beaten Jared Goff, so he’s kept that streak intact. Now, its time to look ahead to a game many had penciled in as another potential win for the Lions. As fate would have it, not so fast there, Lions fan. The 2021 NFL season is full of twists, turns, and jump scares the likes of which no one could have predicted. Detroit Lions Podcast Previews The Atlanta Falcons Jared Goff was put on the Covid/Reserve list immediately following his stellar performance against the Arizona Cardinals. While he has the potential to return against the Atlanta Falcons, it will be a waiting game likely right up until game day for Lions fans. Coach Dan Campbell has said that if Goff can’t play we’ll put in, “Tim Blough or Jeff Boyle” – so keep your eyes open for a potential hybrid approach at QB, or just another look at Campbell having fun with the media. Either way, we’ll cover what it will take for the Lions to pull this one out, including a look at Vegas odds and what you might want to do against to widening spread. We are joined (of course) by WWJ-Radio airtime superstar, Tony Ortiz, to break down what to expect in this match-up, and we’ll pick up some fun insider stories from TO along the way. We’ll cover some history between the teams, cover the Injury report for both teams, discuss match-ups, the Las Vegas odds and betting lines, and we’ll provide a final game prediction.

Well, its happened. The Lions have beaten a team 5 or more games over .500 for the first time since most of you started watching football. Not only did the Detroit Lions beat the Arizona Cardinals, they pummeled them into submission. No one in the NFL expected this to happen . Well, Chris laid out this exact scenario in the Game Preview show with Tony Ortiz, but other than that, no one else did. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees A Quick Turn This Detroit Lions team is sneaky good. Looking at the team’s record one wouldn’t think so, maybe if you see the win against Arizona, but one could write that off as “any given Sunday”, but with the difference of 4 field goals, the Lions would be second in the division right now. Some are going to lament not drafting first overall, but this team might be a whole lot better than where they are drafting already. Couple that with the capital they have available in the draft over the next two years, the money they’ve cleared from the cap this year, and all of a sudden free agency and the draft could push this team to new heights. The rest of the NFL might just lament a team as sneaky good as the Detroit Lions having this kind of draft capital and position. Likely one of the top candidates to go from worst to first in 2022….

As the walking wounded Detroit Lions limp toward the end of the 2021 NFL season, they meet one of the top teams in the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals, at Ford Field. This is one of those games where the Lions have no expectation of coming away victorious. Yet, their season has been one where fans can always expect the unexpected. Could this be, “Any Given Sunday” for the Lions? Detroit Lions Podcast Takes Stock Knowing the team is in a rebuild and then sacrificing over $113 million of their roster to injuries and dead cap, it was a year of austerity beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Yet in a season with just a single win, the Lions have managed to outperform expectations. With a couple of different bounces of the ball, they could be a 5 win team. We’ll talk about what this means going forward but for now we look ahead to the Arizona Cardinals and hope that this Sunday is for the Lions “any given” one. Big News On YouTube!

Now’s the time! The Detroit Lions can exert their dominance over one of the top teams in the NFC in this week’s game against the Arizona Cardinals at Ford Field. A fully healthy Lions team have been notching victories week by week in their march to the world championship, and Arizona looks to be just another casualty on the Lions way to NFL dominance. Detroit Lions Podcast Jolts Upright In A Cold Sweat Oh if that were more than just a dream. Instead the Lions are mired in the last quarter of the 2021 NFL season, decimated by injuries and dead cap to the tune of $113 million. Basically 2/3 of their cap is tied up in people who aren’t on the field for the team. Obviously its difficult to compete with the best in the NFL at 2/3 the cost of talent, but the Lions haven’t really been as bad as one would think – they have a slim shot against the Cardinals. Never count this team out, they have a ton of heart and put it all on the line for Coach Dan Campbell. As the team continues to build, grow, and establish their culture – this first season under coach Campbell and GM Brad Holmes has set the tone for good things to come. In the meantime, enjoy the football, find the bright spots, and grab yourself a cocktail. We only have a few week weeks of football left before we head to the long off-season of hopes, dreams and speculation. We are joined (of course) by WWJ-Radio airtime superstar, Tony Ortiz, to break down what to expect in this match-up, and we’ll pick up some fun insider stories from TO along the way.

Coming out of the Lions loss to the Broncos, which was to be expected given the nature of their health and injury status, the Lions look to lick their wounds and face their toughest opponent yet – the Arizona Cardinals. I’m not sure anyone is predicting victory for the Lions here… Detroit Lions Podcast Keeps It Real One interesting point, the Lions played well against the Los Angeles Rams earlier this season, and the Rams just beat the Cardinals. So by the transitive property, the Lions would have a chance. Looking at how this year has gone, we’d say the Lions would play well and lose. Looking at the injury list, the Lions likely don’t have a chance. That being the case, any time is a good time to grab a big pretzel if you’re at Ford Field for the game. We’ll talk about the Denver game some positives and negatives, expectations for the final weeks, Covid and how it’s reared its ugly head around the league, as well as some interesting thinking around drafting quarterbacks. Most people aren’t talking about this, but it is likely one of the biggest factors for rookie QB success beyond just the numbers.

Coming off of their first win of the 2021 NFL season the Detroit Lions face the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. After last week’s victory, Lions fans felt pretty good about the Lions chances against the Broncos, until the week took shape and illness started to break out in Allen Park. Detroit Lions Podcast Feels Fine It started on Tuesday when Dan Campbell told Detroit Lions fans that Jared Goff had missed practice due to a flu-like illness that “wasn’t Covid-19”. As the week wore on much of the defense and members of the offense fell ill with the flu-like illness, so much so that the team upped their protocols as if it was a Covid-19 outbreak. Then, we find that at least 6 players are on the reserve/COVID-19 list. A number of players have been called up from the practice squad in an attempt to bolster the newfound roster holes. This is terrible news for a team that has already been devastat4ed by injury in the 2021 NFL season. How will the team fare? We’ll cover that, what the future holds for the team, take your calls, and more on today’s show. Big News On YouTube!

It finally happened, our beloved Detroit Lions put together their first win of the 2021 NFL Season against the Minnesota Vikings. Now they’re heading out to Denver in hopes of repeating the feat against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Detroit Lions Podcast Game Preview Denver is a streaky team that has a good deal of talent at every position other than quarterback. They’ve put together some strong games and followed those up with a few head scratchers. The Detroit Lions chances hinge on which Denver Broncos team shows up on Sunday. In addition to playing the unpredictable Broncos, the Lions have dealt with a bout of the flu running through the building this week. a number of players have missed practice, Dan Campbell has separated the offense and defense in practice and added some of the old Covid protocols back in place in an attempt to stave off further spread. As of today a number of players are back, but caution levels are high in prepping for the game in Denver, and practices have been limited from what they normally would have been as a result. We are joined (of course) by WWJ-Radio airtime superstar, Tony Ortiz, to break down what to expect in this match-up, and we’ll pick up some fun insider stories from TO along the way. We’ll cover some history between the teams, cover the Injury report for both teams, discuss match-ups, the Las Vegas odds and betting lines, and we’ll provide a final game prediction.

It finally happened, our beloved Detroit Lions put together a great effort and pulled out a last minute drive down the field capped with a game-winning touchdown from Jared Goff to Amon Ra St. Brown. This week Chris and Jeff Risdon are joined by Sandman to discuss the Detroit Lions first win of the 2021 NFL season. Chris and Sandman were both at the game and will definitely share their experience at Ford Field including a video of the event as it unfolded. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Progress Coming up next for the Lions are the Denver Broncos – and AFC West team that has been hot and cold, and quite unpredictable this year. Playing in Denver doesn’t help, but the Lions aren’t a team anyone can rule out at this point. They have the potential to take another one, and we’ll discuss how that looks in this week’s show. We’ll talk about all that, what’s to come, the remaining schedule, and what’s on tap for the podcast in the coming weeks. Lots to talk about in this week’s episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast.

So here we are, 12 weeks into the 2021 NFL season, and the Detroit Lions have yet to notch a win. They’ve been close against teams that they shouldn’t even have been in games with. They’ve let games slip away against teams they should have beaten. In the last three games, no team has scored more than 16 points on them, and they’ve been outscored by only 5 points total. It feels like the Lions are close, but it remains possible that they just run out of time. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Wins The Lions are facing NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. In their last meeting as US Bank Stadium, the Lions were defeated with a last second field goal (a familiar story in the 2021 NFL season). Is Minnesota a team that the Lions can beat at home? Are there any teams remaining on the schedule that the Lions can find a win against? Where are the players right now? Big News On YouTube!

The Detroit Lions continue to look for that elusive first win of the 2021 NFL season. The first for Dan Campbell as the Lions coach, the first in the NFL for a number of young players, and the first indication that this team is turning things around. The Thanksgiving game against the Chicago Bears might be just the ticket the Lions need. Detroit Lions Podcast Fires Matt Nagy In a unique move, it appears as though the team has informed Matt Nagy that he will no longer be coaching the Chicago Bears after the Thanksgiving game at Ford Field. While Lions fans were hoping that they could help the Bears hang on to Nagy for another year as their head coach, it’s gotten to the point that potentially winning against the Lions isn’t enough to help a head coach keep his job in the NFL. There is a lot of motivation for both teams to win this game – for the Lions, finally getting that first win and doing so on the national stage would make this a statement game about a turnaround that is officially underway for the franchise. For the Bears, an opportunity to send off the coach who believed with them and put them on this team together. One thing for sure, Thursday’s game is destined to be one to remember. One that could be marked as the point where fortunes turned for a troubled NFL franchise. Big News On YouTube!

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast Post Game Show! As we head to the first game after the Detroit Lions didn’t lose in the 2021 NFL season, the Lions are pretty big underdogs against the Cleveland Browns at First Energy Stadium. The weather looks like conditions will be similar to what we saw in last week’s tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers – so expect the unexpected. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts After what can only be termed a frustrating tie in Pittsburgh, in which Dan Campbell took over play calling duties and directly attacked the strengths of the Steelers (with great success), the list of Lions walking wounded gets longer. Jared Goff will miss, leaving Tim Boyle to start for the Lions. Additionally, Trey Flowers will be out again, as will Jermar Jefferson and Matt Nelson. The Browns are down two cornerbacks and have a lengthy injury report as well. With the weather and injuries, we’re expecting a whole lot of running this week. Of course, Dan Campbell is a man of mystery, so be on the lookout for some surprise passes to catch the Browns off guard. Are our predictions correct? We’ll be sure to discuss them in this week’s post game show. We’ll also discuss how the team fared, big plays, turning points, and what’s next for the Lions in the 2021 NFL Season.

Today we host our Game Preview for the battle between the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns in week 11 of the 2021 NFL season. Detroit Lions Podcast Game Preview The 5-4 Browns are coming off of a 45-7 shellacking in New England by the Patriots. The injury-decimated Lions made a strong showing last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers falling just short of a win (again) with a 16-16 tie in a weather-hampered game. Jared Goff injured his oblique, leaving Tim Boyle in line to start for the Lions this week. We’ll be sure to have the latest update when we cover the Lions injury report.

The Detroit Lions yet again managed to do what no one expected. Chris was laughed at for saying the Lions could beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was right, they could have. Instead, they avoided losing out the season by landing a tie against the Steelers at Heinz Field. Its a perfect fit for the ongoing story of the Detroit Lions 2021 NFL season. Detroit Lions Podcast Takes Stock While the Lions didn’t win the game, they didn’t lose either, and with quarterback Jared Goff suffering an oblique injury, the Lions are likely to test out their backup quarterbacks and add a whole new level of angst to fans for the season. Its a no win scenario really, Boyle or Blough sizzle? The crucifixion of Jared Goff will be locked in. They stink, and the questions about the direction of the team will be legion. There are seven games left in the season after the game against the Cleveland Browns this week (which we will cover in depth), but we sense that the conversation around Jared Goff is only going to heat up with each passing week.

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast Post Game Show! As we head to the halfway point of the Lions season, we react and help break things down after the Detroit Lions take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts After an excruciating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles the Detroit Lions went into the bye week without a win, and with many more questions than answers. Cue coach Dan Campbell stepping in to take greater control of the offense, relegating Anthony Lynn to a more junior role. Coach Campbell took a good deal of time grinding film while his staff took a few (much needed) days off over the bye, before heading back in to the office and putting in a week of extremely long days. The Lions are poised for something different this week, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Coach Dan Campbell calling offensive plays. Couple that with Ben Roethlisberger and Chase Claypool being out, and the Detroit Lions just might have an opportunity to sneak in their first win of the season. We’ll discuss how true these predictions, how the team fared, big plays, turning points, and what’s next for the Lions in the 2021 NFL Season. Big News On YouTube!

The Detroit Lions Fell absolutely flat against the Philadelphia Eagles – an unlikely loss that very few expected. The Lions head into the bye week winless with many questions about the team, its consistency, and if they can even win a game this year. Detroit Lions Podcast Predicts A Win Of course, its not a Lions win, but a win for the children and families of St. Jude. On Friday we’ll have our 3rd Annual Christmas For The Kids St. Jude Fundraiser including a 24-hour live stream/ telethon where Chris and the Riz will try to raise $25,000 to help those who rely on the great work done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast Post Game Show! Eight games into the season and we’re here to help break things down after the Detroit Lions take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Ford Field. Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts The Lions have their work cut out for them. Looking for their first win, the Lions return home to what is likely their first, best chance to win a game in the 2021 NFL season. The injury bug has scorched the Lions roster resulting in a number of young players on the field, including podcast favorite Jerry Jacobs. There is a big chance for the Lions to grow talent in a way many other teams can’t. Let’s see how this opportunity plays out over the next few years. That being said some players are starting to get healthy, including Da’Shawn Hand – more to come there. In the meantime, we’ll discuss big plays, turning points, and what’s next for the Lions in the 2021 NFL Season. Big News On YouTube!

Today we host our Game Preview for the battle between the Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles in week 8 of the 2021 NFL season. Detroit Lions Podcast Game Preview The 2-5 Eagles are coming off of a road loss, in which they were beaten by the Las Vegas Raiders. The injury-decimated Lions made a strong showing last week against the Los Angeles Rams falling just short of a win (again) after a late Jared Goff interception (again). These teams seem to be heading in opposite directions, the Eagles nosediving toward a rebuild, and the Lions ascending, playing solid football, and building young talent. While their records don’t reflect the directions the teams seem to be heading, that could easily change by the end of the year. Can the Detroit Lions pull out their first win at Ford Field in 2021? We are joined (of course) by WWJ-Radio airtime superstar, Tony Ortiz, to break down what to expect in this match-up, and we’ll pick up some fun insider stories from TO along the way. We’ll cover some history between the teams, cover the Injury report for both teams, discuss match-ups, the Las Vegas odds and betting lines, and we’ll provide a final game prediction.

Well, that just happened. The Detroit Lions went to SoFi Stadium to play the Los Angeles Rams and played their hearts out in a game that was much closer than the score would reveal. Chris was there and will report on all things SoFi Stadium and the Lions Rams experience. Detroit Lions Podcast Was There The team came close. In a game in which they were 16.5 point underdogs, the Detroit Lions succumbed to the Rams late after Matthew Stafford absolutely abused CB Daryl Worley when he stepped in for an injured AJ Parker. That being said, they beat the heck out of the point spread. Worley’s performance was so bad, that he’s already been cut. Its not unexpected, when you are already working in 4th and 5th string players to cover for injuries, eventually you’re going to hit the talent cliff. That’s what happened with Worley. A valiant effort by the Lions who are still looking for their first win after meeting the LA Rams. That said, their best chance of the season for a win so far comes this week when the Detroit Lions play host to the Philadelphia Eagles. Expectations amongst fans are high for the Lions to return to the same form they showed in Los Angeles which should be enough to clip the Philadelphia Eagles wings. Chris and Jeff cover all that and more in this week’s show! Big News On YouTube! We’ve launched a new series starring a number of talented personalities you’ve seen on our shows at various times.

After the Lions most recent loss, many are looking for the Lions to move on from Jared Goff. We’ll cover the Detroit Lions quarterback position in full, including options in the draft. Detroit Lions Podcast Looks At Quarterback Jared Goff & The Draft Jared Goff’s play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals was pretty universally panned, and for good reason. He didn’t put the ball downfield, missed wide open reads, and was extremely timid on field. This years draft doesn’t feature a bumper crop of talent at the quarterback position either. Who might be worth a shot? Do we ride Goff another year? What’s the next step? Mark Schofield from Touchdown Wire joins us to discuss. We’ll also cover Taylor Decker, Jerry Jacobs, the upcoming game against the Rams, and a whole lot more. Big News On YouTube!

Today we host our Game Preview for the battle between the Detroit Lions and the Cincinnati Bengals in week 6 of the 2021 NFL season. Detroit Lions Podcast Game Preview The 3-2 Bengals are coming off of a home loss, in which they were beaten by the Green Bay Packers in overtime. The injury-decimated Lions made a strong showing last week against the Minnesota Vikings falling just short (again) to a last second field goal. Both teams really need a win – Cincinnati in hopes of launching their season toward the playoffs, and the Lions to get the first win for their new coaching staff and turn around a team that is full of heart but falling just short. Can the Detroit Lions pull out their first win at Ford Field in 2021? We are joined (of course) by WWJ-Radio airtime superstar, Tony Ortiz, to break down what to expect in this match-up, and we’ll pick up some fun insider stories from TO along the way. We’ll cover some history between the teams, cover the Injury report for both teams, discuss match-ups, the Las Vegas odds and betting lines, and we’ll provide a final game prediction.

All in all, the loss to the Minnesota Vikings might have been worse for them than it was for the Detroit Lions. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees Strength For the Lions, a group of scrappy young guys who many thought lacked NFL caliber talent stood up and played hard until the clock hit ‘0’. When it did, they lost by a field goal set up by one player being out of position on the play before. The team is close and the coaching is strong. There are wins to be had. Additionally, the team has been plagued by injuries. They rack up with Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow going to IR for the remainder of the season after having surgery on his toe. Some rookies (like our favorite UDFA CB Jerry Jacobs) are stepping up and showing what they can do – and we saw a lot. Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson did not have the day that anyone expected against the Lions secondary. We’ve also got a conversation on why the offense is sputtering, the larger perception about Coach Campbell crying in the post game presser, and a whole lot more! Big News On YouTube!

Today we host our Game Preview for the battle between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings in week 5 of the 2021 NFL season. Detroit Lions Podcast Game Preview The Minnesota Vikings are coming off of a home loss, in which they were beaten by the Cleveland Browns, while the decimated Lions have the majority of the salary cap tied up in players that won’t see the field due to injury or departure. Both teams really need a win – Minnesota in hopes of salvaging their season and coaching staff, and the Lions to get the first win for their new coaching staff and turn around a team that is quickly spiraling down the drain.

Its been a tough week for Detroit Lions fans. After a difficult loss to the Chicago Bears, and mounting injury list, the Lions are looking for something, anything, to hold on to showing them progress from this team. Detroit Lions Podcast Looks To Minnesota Vikings Smart Detroit Lions fans came into this season not expecting much from this team in the win(s) column, but they expected to see growth, the path to success being built. After the first three games, there were periods in each game where the team showed fans that it had talent in positions that allowed them to compete, giving fans hope that the team would be able to come out on top against the Chicago Bears. Instead, the Lions suffered a humiliating loss at the hands of another bad team. Where does the team go from here? Is anything working? How big is the injury problem really? How will this team fare against the Minnesota Vikings? We’ll answer these questions and a lot more in this week’s show. Big News On YouTube!

So that happened. Again. The officials really put it to the Detroit Lions and their fans in the game against the Baltimore Ravens. In a game where the Lions did enough to win and the Ravens did enough to lose, the officials decided to lean into the game so it would end based on their absolute joke of blown calls. Lions fans again walk away asking themselves if the NFL is rigged in 2021. Detroit Lions Podcast Hosts Dean Blandino We’ll have former NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino on the show to talk about the situation, what happened, why it happened, and what he might do about it in the XFL. We also fire up the hashtag #HireBlandino once again in an attempt to get some sanity back in the NFL offices. We will also cover why the 4th down play and missed call need to be separated, Jared Goff’s difficult start in this past game, upgrades on defensive speed, injuries, and take a look ahead to the coming game against the Chicago Bears. As we know, the show must go on. While the Lions will be heading to Soldier Field, the Bears have had an awful start to the season. A combination of an angry Lions team and the Bears ongoing bumbles might just set the table for Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions to pull off their first win of the season. Big News On YouTube!

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast Post Game Show! The Detroit Lions finished their first game of the season with a notch in the loss column, but it was so much more than that. Looking at the standings table doesn’t tell the story either. The entire division lost and the Lions are tied for first after week one. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees Potential The game against the San Francisco 49ers left Detroit Lions fans with a lot of hope, even in the face of that loss. The team showed more heart than we’ve seen from them in over three years. Any other Lions team would have given up before the second half even started. This team wouldn’t let the 49ers hang the big L on them and rallied back from a 38-10 deficit to take the outcome of the game down to their last possession. This showed the maturity of a team much older and more experienced. This gave the players and coaches a lot to build on. I would categorize this as one of the most fun losses this team has ever had. Conversely, probably the biggest blow to the Lions hopes this season was the loss of Jeff Okudah to a ruptured Achilles in the opening game against the San Francisco 49ers. The second year player was the clear number one cornerback for the Lions and the team has its second week against two of the best in the league in the Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Okudah will be impossible to replace, even with a ‘next man up’ mentality, but this definitely lines up with the Detroit Lions youth movement and their efforts to build, grow, and evaluate talent for next year and going forward. We will also cover, Josh Gordon rumors, Penei Sewell’s performance and potential future at left tackle, as well as Jared Goff’s performance and what we can expect from him and the team going forward.

Final cuts have been made and the Detroit Lions have made their way down to their final 53-man roster. There will still be some churn as a result of other teams cutting players that can help the Lions, but the biggest work on the roster has been done thus far. Chris and Jeff will talk about, where the team currently stands, and then will be joined by Detroit Lions undrafted free agent (and new member of the 53-man roster) cornerback, Jerry Jacobs. Detroit Lions Podcast Cut Analysis We’ll start by talking about the Lions gaps insofar as backup offensive linemen go, and with them as gaping as they are, why they let Tyrell Crosby go, and what things currently look like. We’ll also discuss the armchair GM freakout about the Lions kicker situation and how they got that solved. We’ll also discuss a number of the older players that are no longer with the team. Once we discuss cuts, we’ll be joined by Lions cornerback, Jerry Jacobs to celebrate the hard work that got him on the Detroit Lions roster. His is an amazing journey, which he chronicled with us just before the start of the preseason. Jerry will continue to join us throughout the year telling his story, and helping fans understand what its like to live the dream of making it in the NFL. As Lions fans, we can only dream of it being a JuCo to Super Bowl story. That one is yet to be written. Big News On YouTube!

Two down one to go and then the countdown to the regular season begins. Is the team as bad as the first half against the Pittsburgh Steelers would make one think? Could they surprise and vie for the division? We’ll answer these questions an a whole lot more in this week’s show. Detroit Lions Podcast Preseason Game Review First things first, we’ll set the tone with a review of the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game. The first half was a real depressing display. followed by a second half comeback that would have made Matthew Stafford proud. The boys weren’t able to come away with a win, but boy did we learn a lot about this team. We’ll go into it and why not to read too much into what we saw early. From there will look to the Colts game, what the strategy from Coach Dan Campbell will be and why the Indianapolis Colts are actually playing along. From an entertainment standpoint, the game will definitely be better, particularly for those evaluating players who are riding the roster bubble and getting reps while learning the NFL game. We’ll do injuries, roster bubble, which of the 53 roster spots currently aren’t on the team, a look at ex-Lions around the league, and finally, we’ll take a look at Matthew Stafford’s big piece.

The Detroit Lions preseason game one is over and we are about to head into game two. What better time to check in with one of our favorite new Detroit Lions players, undrafted free agent cornerback, Jerry Jacobs? Detroit Lions Cornerback Jerry Jacobs New Position We’re going to discuss Jacobs performance in his NFL preseason debut, a little bit of what happened behind the scenes, and what we can expect this week in game two. Jerry will join us after the preseason ends so we can continue to follow his journey and keep cheering on one of the best stories in the NFL. We’ll also talk about the Detroit Lions cut of Don Muhlbach from the roster after 17 years and his time as a player with now head coach Dan Campbell. Campbell refers to himself as an a**hole for doing it on Don’s birthday. The good news is, we can remember Don as always being great rather than having to have seen him falter. We have a few defensive linemen back in the roster including Nick Williams and Levi Onwuzurike, a linebacker who might survive those who have already written his eulogy, and some preseason player strategy that Dan Campbell is thinking about for game 2.

After a two week break the boys are back at the mics with the latest Detroit Lions and NFL news. It might be mid-summer, but there is a lot to cover in this week’s show. Detroit Lions Podcast Bringing It Back First, we’ll talk about Penei Sewell and just how great he could be for the Lions this year – its what you want from your #1 overall pick, but he could be a rookie pro-bowler and we’ll discuss why. We also discuss the camp battle that is brewing for the #2 outside cornerback position. A lot of folks have Amani Oruwariye penned in at the position, we’ll discuss why that may be premature.

Spring heats up in Allen Park as the Lions kick off the second of three Organized Team Activity sessions with the team installing their playbooks, beginning player evaluations, and trying to find a wide receiver that could qualify as their number one. Bad news, that likely won’t happen this year. The good news is that the team is setting itself up for a huge step forward in 2022. This year will be about finding that bit of sugar to make the medicine go down. Detroit Lions Podcast Discusses Penei Sewell to RT There’s been a lot of talk about moving Penei Sewell to right tackle after he mentioned that it isn’t an easy thing to do.

There are a lot of pieces to discuss and a few criticisms that we want to talk about. No QB in camp? Was that a travesty, or is everything just fine? Detroit Lions Podcast Look To Lions Coaches There were a few signings of note (hint: Penei Sewell), which will be key pieces of the team, we’ll also have a discussion about how Brad Homes handled the Undrafted Free Agents this year which was much different than previous Detroit Lions front offices.

On the heels of the 2021 NFL Draft, we pause for a moment to take stock of the Detroit Lions performance and how the front office performed in its first draft as a team with Brad Holmes at the helm. Taking Penei Sewell in the first round was a consensus perfect pick for this team. There were questions as NFL Draft day two unfolded, but Draft Day three helped illuminate Holmes’ strategy for the Lions. In the end, Holmes’ draft strategy was entirely unexpected, but incredibly solid. Detroit Lions Podcast Joined By Dan Shonka On this episode, we are joined by Dan Shonka, Former NFL scout with the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington, and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Its time for a listener favorite, our annual 2021 NFL Consensus Mock Draft! Chris and Jeff Risdon are joined by Erik Schlitt and Scott Bischoff to take you through the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and build our consensus picks for each team. Detroit Lions Podcast Mocks The Entire First Round Where will Justin Fields land? Is Trey Lance a favorite for the Detroit Lions, or will Kyle Pitts drop to them? There’s been a lot of discussion of Mac Jones moving up the board, could the Lions trade back for more value? Chris has been all over Jaylen Waddle, but a lot of folks are high on Devonta Smith. All questions will be answered as we walk you through our 2021 NFL Mock Draft, consensus style. One thing for certain, Trevor Lawrence will be first overall. This off-season has set the Detroit Lions up for what they are calling their retooling of the team under new leadership, from the top down. With Matthew Stafford heading to the Los Angeles Rams and Jared Goff coming to Detroit, the Lions will have a new identity on offense. After last year’s dumpster fire, they desperately need one on defense. The new management team has been making good moves thus far, but their off-season prowess will be fully judged on their performance in the 2021 NFL Draft. There is a lot at stake, we’ll see if they are up to the task. Big News On YouTube! We’ve launched a new series starring a number of talented personalities you’ve seen on our shows at various times.

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast! The NFL League year kicked off today. The tampering period began the frenzy of news on Monday, March 15th and there have been a number of interesting developments already across the NFL. The NFL rumors are running wild. We’re here to help clarify. Detroit Lions Podcast Clarifies The Current Situation Free Agency is the beginning of the NFL off-season clarity that fans are looking for, culminating on draft day. Knowing what your 2021 NFL roster looks like is the basis for everything your team will do (unless you are Matt Patricia). The Detroit Lions have limited resources to work with, but have proven themselves to have sharp minds in the front office, particularly in Brad Holmes. Some very solid, and inexpensive, roster moves have been made so far (including picking up Michael Brockers), helping shore up weak areas and set the team up to be as successful as possible in the draft. All that, and there is more to come. Biggest surprise? The rumors that the wide receiver market isn’t what some players thought it would be. We’ll have all that, breaking Detroit Lions news, reactions, rumors, and more on this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast. Big News On YouTube!

Currently under the cap and have much more than folks think with which to work in free agency. Detroit Lions Podcast Prepped And Ready What more could they be working on?

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon get together to bring you the latest Detroit Lions news and opinion – there’s a ton going on this week, so let’s get right into it. Detroit Lions Podcast Are Alpha Males Too! Detroit Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell had a pair of press appearances this week in which he discussed the future of the team. He also talked about alpha males and what it means to be one. In the press conference that starred both Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell basically screamed the servant leadership style that Brad Holmes discussed in his post-hire press conference. How folks haven’t really understood what Brad Homes was talking about is crazy to us. While some people are stuck on figuring out whether Brad Holmes or Dan Campbell are the top boss, we’ll share with you what is really going on (hint: its modern leadership). All Kinds Of Press This Week There is also the Dan Campbell interview with Pat McAfee from earlier in the day. Dan talks about a number of fun topics, and shares some information about how he shifted his thinking about entering coaching, and probably earned himself a number of fans across the country. Also the Lions signed a wide receiver and more. We’ll talk everything in breaking Detroit Lions news, on this episode of the Podcast. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon get together to bring you the latest Detroit Lions news and opinion. We’ll cover Kenny Golladay and the “Tag and Trade” scenario that so many people are talking about, deliver a quick announcement about Jeff Risdon and his increased involvement with the show, discuss a combo of topics around not being able to buy a locker room (per Chris Spielman), Dan Campbell’s interview, and how the calculus changes on free agency with a new set of coaches at the helm. Detroit Lions Podcast Grades The “Tag and Trade” Scenario Jeff Risdon had a great article on LionsWire that discussed the historical success of NFL teams using the franchise tag on a player with the idea of trading them. Results are mixed, and we start to divine when the situation works and when it doesn’t. The Riz has a good theory on this situation, while Chris looks at some of the other options facing the team – all of this centered around Kenny Golladay. We also make an announcement about the Riz and his expanded role in the podcast. He’s always been a great guest, but our original love, Case, has a number of issues that are just making his schedule untenable. He WILL be back, but on a more “as available” basis while he gets everything rounded back up. For the record, there’s no animosity and he isn’t suffering painfully due to some malady or anything like that, it’s just that real life hits us in the face sometimes and we have to prioritize the most important things first. We all miss him already. What Does “Buy A Locker Room” Mean? We think that the Chris Spielman interview in which he states that you “Can’t buy a locker room” is much more far-reaching than most are thinking. It’s not just about free agency. It’s about culture. It’s also not just about players. The locker room is a product of the front office, the coaches, and the players. Every single one of those items is needed to build a positive culture. When you talk about people who work for others and them leaving, it’s rare that they quit a job. It’s much frequent that they quit a boss. Herein lies a key to the Detroit Lions rebuild strategy – get the boss right first. Big News On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Sandman, and Jeff Risdon get together to bring you the latest Detroit Lions news and opinion. We’ll cover Kenny Golladay, Jason LaConfora, and a whole lot of BS, take a look at accuracy rating comparisons between Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford, discuss what a weakling Dan Campbell is, and dive into the best bargain bin options for the Lions in the 2021 NFL Free Agency period. Detroit Lions Podcast Asks If Dan Campbell Is Weak To be certain, the answer is a straight ‘no’, but the real conversation is about authenticity at the coaching position. We had an issue in that area with the last coaching staff, but there is a story about Dan Campbell that pretty clearly shows that his toughness is real. We discuss it and just how amazing what he endured was, much less that he did so quietly. 2021 NFL Free Agency Sets The Tone For The Draft Brad Holmes has taken a team with only 5 picks in the 2021 NFL Draft and a quarterback who wanted out, and turned it into a good NFL quarterback, 6 picks and an extra first rounder in each of the next two years. Great start, and an opportunity to get some much needed capital for this team. Before we start spending that capital, Holmes will have the 2021 NFL Free Agency period to set himself up further ahead of the draft. This team will need a number of players this year, and looking in the bargain areas of the free agency wire will be a key place for him to play to fill those needs. You don’t want to saddle the team with expensive old players right as the team is ready to make a run, so this is the time to find high quality, nicely priced players to help the team build to the next level. We go over some of those players and what key positions they could fill and who Brad Holmes might grab in the 2021 NFL Free Agency period. Big News On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case start our look toward the 2021 NFL Draft. While we recognize that free agency happens between now and the 2021 NFL draft, we have to recognize that once we have made our way through the draft, we will have a great deal more understanding of what to expect from this team. We aren’t skipping free agency, we’re just looking to a key milestone on this journey of enlightenment. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Hall Of Fame We would be remiss if we didn’t mention Calvin Johnson’s first ballot Hall Of Fame vote, so we do. We talk about the path the team and Calvin are currently on toward redemption and how things might have gone so wrong along the way. There are options for taking care of him monetarily as well, so hopefully in the end everyone ends up in a happy place. Breaking Coaching News: Lions Hire Antwaan Randle El Another player turned coach for the Lions – the Lions coaching staff has now played in 1081 games, or 67.5 full seasons. If you want a staff that can command the respect of its players because they’ve “been there”, you’ve hired them. This is an interesting dynamic for the team after the previous regime. Seeing the results are going to be really interesting. There is one thing absolutely certain, this is going to be a fun year to watch football. Big News On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon do a deep dive on Jared Goff, look at whether picking him up was a good move, scout his abilities, and discuss his fit on the Lions. We also make fun of Tedy Bruschi for his terrible take on Matthew Stafford’s toughness, Talk about the new coaching staff and what they mean to the team, and Get into potential free agent Wide Receivers that aren’t in the headlines you’re reading today. Detroit Lions Podcast On Jared Goff The first and most important thing that people need to know is that Matthew Stafford was not going to play for the Detroit Lions in 2021. The team didn’t have a Quarterback, but did have a $19 million dead cap number. That was the table stakes, the reality the new front office and GM Brad Holmes had to deal with. When you look across the landscape of real possibilities, who else would have been a better replacement that Jared Goff? Toss in 2 upcoming first round picks, and a third round pick this year and the decision was a no-brainer. We wind up with a quarterback that has won playoff games, been to a Super Bowl and is just 26 years old leading a team on a trial basis during a rebuild. If he doesn’t work, we have plenty of ammunition to get “our guy” in 2022 or 2023 – the Lions have an amazing set of options. We also talk about Jared Goff as a player and discuss his abilities and flaws and contrast them against Matthew Stafford and his abilities and flaws. It just might be that the Lions and Rams have upgraded for the rosters and schemes they play. There’s More Than Jared Goff In Detroit We have a coaching staff that sees player who were hesitant and obviously had their confidence shaken last season. They played slower than they should have – seemingly afraid. We discuss why that is, what happened, and what qualifies this staff to turn that around. From there we discuss off-the-radar free agency pickups at the wide receiver position that just might interest a team like the Lions. There are some good talents out there for the Lions to grab.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon break down film from the first day of the 2021 NFL Senior Bowl and discuss options for the Lions at quarterback. Detroit Lions Podcast Senior Bowl Film Analysis Well, the Senior Bowl is dealing with some logistical issues related to the media and player interviews. We remain hopeful that this evening’s interview will go off as planned. The interviews are scheduled between 9pm and midnight ET, so if it’s cleared up we should have them then. We may possibly just record and release the next morning. That being said, we have access to the film from the Senior Bowl practices and wanted to do a walk-through of day one’s practice. We walk you through 25 plays from each team and share a coaching moment with a Miami Dolphins defensive line coach. Today’s show really gives you the vibe for what it’s like to be at the Senior Bowl. While you will hear all of our comments on each player’s film, the YouTube version of this show is really the best experience, as you will get to see exactly what we are talking about during our evaluations. Senior Bowl Coverage Kicks Off! It was recently announced that there will be no NFL Combine this year. Teams will be resorting to “pro days” to evaluate players and talent. This is a real blow to fans as they won’t have the coverage that they usually do in the lead up to the NFL Draft. This also makes the Senior Bowl practices much more important. Just about everyone in the Detroit media is going to be reporting on the information they get from other outlets for their Senior Bowl and player coverage. As always, The Detroit Lions Podcast will be covering the Senior Bowl as credentialed media. We’ll have player interviews, film of players during practice, a number of live shows, and a whole lot more.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman react to new Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell’s opening press conference. We bring audio sound bites and discuss some of the nuances of what he’s saying and what it might mean for the Lions Detroit Lions Podcast Pumped Iron Immediately Afterward If the Lions were looking for a “Leader of Men”, they sure found one in Head Coach Dan Campbell. His opening press conference set NFL circles alight. If not viewed in its entirety, Dan Campbell could have looked a bit unhinged, but in its totality Campbell painted a cohesive picture of compatibility, cohesiveness, culture, and conquest. Henceforth referred to as the 4 C’s. Lions fans were ready to suit up and try out for the team as new Head Coach Dan Campbell preached the importance of servant leadership and focusing all levels of the organization on the vision for the team. Head Coach Dan Campbell understands Detroit. He felt the pain of the 0-16 season along with fans as a player on a team that couldn’t deliver to a city hungry for success from its beloved Lions. He wants to turn that around. He has a vision, and in partnership with Brad Holmes and Mike Disner, that vision is becoming a plan and a strategy. The time to move is now. Even as they get their coordinators in place, the Detroit Lions have just a few days to make their way down to Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl. Senior Bowl Coverage Is Much More Important With No NFL Combine It was recently announced that there will be no NFL Combine this year. Teams will be resorting to “pro days” to evaluate players and talent. This is a real blow to fans as they won’t have the coverage that they usually do in the lead up to the NFL Draft.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Sandman, and Jeff Risdon take a look at the Detroit Lions new hire at General Manager, Brad Holmes. News broke early this afternoon that the Detroit Lions Hired Brad Holmes as the organization’s new GM – a choice we all believe is a huge step in the right direction for this club’s front office. Detroit Lions Podcast Evaluates The Process We wanted to start the show out by evaluating the process the team followed in landing Brad Holmes as General Manager. Chris laid out what he was looking for from the organization in his vlog last week, and so far the Lions are delivering. The team was methodical, played no favorites, and landed on a top tier candidate in Brad Holmes as their General Manager. The team was measured, patient, and weren’t swayed by cries that other teams would “steal their guy”. They ran their process and got the GM they were after. Brad Holmes Shows Skills While Holmes hasn’t filled the General Manager’s seat previously, he has played a significant role in the ongoing success of the Los Angeles Rams, worked with a number of different coaches, and has helped build a perennial playoff team without having a first round pick in the last four years. He’s known for increasing the value of the Rams draft by trading away higher round picks and nailing his picks in the mid/late rounds – something the Lions are in dire need of currently. Additionally, with Matthew Stafford’s contract coming to an end in two years, being in a position to generate draft value could be an extreme need for the Lions to move on from Stafford if they need to. There is a lot of work to do in Detroit, and Brad Holmes appears to be the right pick at GM for the Lions current situation. Big News On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Case, and Jeff Risdon take a look at the Detroit Lions current events in the Head Coach and General Manager hiring process. There has been a lot of news, a lot of rumors, and a lot of speculation. We take you through a walk of the top candidates, what they bring to the table, and predict their chances of landing the job. We start everything off discussing canary traps and one bit of housecleaning that might be happening in Allen Park. Detroit Lions Podcast Helps with General Manager Search In our segment on the General Manager search, we cover Ed Dodds, Brad Holmes, Thomas Dimitroff, Rick Smith, and sprinkle in a little conversation about Rick Schneider to discuss salary negotiation strategy. Ed Dodds is our current front runner of the group, but there’s a lot of love for Brad Holmes as well. Good solid conversation discussing their credentials, why they might fit, and areas of concerns. Likely the most comprehensive bit of information on these guys you’ll find in one place. Detroit Lions Head Coach Candidates Come Next Of course Head coaches are a big piece of the puzzle and Lions fans have a distinct favorite amongst the candidates. We discuss Marvin Lewis, Robert Saleh, Dan Campbell, Arthur Smith, and Matt Campbell. There are a number of ins and outs for each candidate, so we try to break them down and discuss organizational fit, their resume’s, and what we would want from each of them. We also discuss who our betting favorites are at the position, and bring up some considerations you haven’t heard elsewhere regarding the consensus fan favorite. Lastly, we discuss what the process in the front office likely looks like. How are they conducting interviews, and how are they looking to fit these pieces together successfully. I’ll say it again, this is the most comprehensive look at the Lions General Manager and Head Coach search you will likely find in one place. Enjoy! Big News On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman discuss the last game of the Detroit Lions 2020-21 Football Season against the Minnesota Vikings. Poor officiating, a called back touchdown, a team that looked relatively competent even in a loss, this game just about had it all. At least all of what you’d expect in a Lions game. Minnesota Vikings Brought Their Own Officials Were they the reason the Lions lost? We’re not blaming them, but even fans of the Minnesota Vikings are complaining about the officiating in this game. Some are saying it cost them better draft position. One thing for certain, they made some terrible calls in this game. I can’t imagine how off the rails the fan base would be right now if the officials had called this game against the Minnesota Vikings and cost us a post season bid. One thing for sure, if you are the Lions, always clinch your playoff berth prior to the last game of the season. Detroit Lions Podcast Pushes Into The Off-season As much as we love football, mercifully we’ve entered the off-season. Things will be extremely busy this year with a new GM, and new coach, decisions at quarterback, and a complete defensive rebuild on the menu (at minimum). We start the discussion on these topics and tease some new features that we will begin delivering starting this coming week. The off-season is a tough time to find good content, but we believe that we have a solution for you. Stay tuned for that, we think you’re going to love it. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Case, Tony Ortiz, and Jeff Risdon take a look at the current state of the Detroit Lions organization (hint: things are a mess) and look ahead to the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This game is in a little bit of flux due to the Lions coaching staff having significant issues with Covid close contact cases, which also affects head coach Darrell Bevell. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not be playing the Lions on Saturday as planned as a result. The game could wind up being pushed a day or two – we’ll stay on it and let you know where things end up. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Crush The Lions? We discuss the Lions chances against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it really doesn’t look good. The Bucs have a lot to play for, the Lions, not so much. The Lions have a bunch of all stars, the Lions need a hospital ship to care for all of the injuries. We’re not at a point of predicting whether Tampa will win, but more about how much they will win by. The other side of that coin, at least there isn’t nearly as much pressure on fans worrying about a win… Detroit Lions Podcast Wishes Everyone a Happy Holiday With no post game show after the Bucs game, we wanted to thank everyone for their support of the show this year.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman take a look at the Lions loss to the Tennessee Titans. Frankly, the best part of the game was the @DetLionsPodcast twitter account. Likely the best way a Lions fan could have fun while watching this game. The Tennessee Titans were held at bay for the most part during the first half, but once the third quarter started Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry had their way with the Lions. Tennessee Titans Carved Up The Lions Defense Big credit to Mike Vrabel and the Tennessee Titans, they played their game and simply overpowered the hapless Lions. It has to be tough to be Corey Undlin with your shot at being a defensive coordinator without an overseer but doing so with a roster so devoid of talent. A much-loved interim coach and defensive coordinator isn’t enough to overcome a roster full of injuries and holes against a team as talented as the Tennessee Titans. Detroit Lions Podcast Ready For The Off-season We discuss the need for an overhaul of the team’s defense as well as the significant holes on offense. The Lions are on track to have none of their receivers reach the 1,000 yard mark for the first time since 2009. Think about that. This isn’t a reflection on Matthew Stafford, but the utter lack of talent and number of injuries to the receiving corps. It’s entirely possible that the Lions might not even have a running back reach 600 yards this year. A rebuild is on the menu, and it has to be done with 5 draft picks and a good bit of cap space. The off-season this year is going to be one of the most interesting in memory. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and tony Ortiz take a look ahead to the Detroit Lions vs. Tennessee Titans game. We also take a look at what’s happened in the Lions GM search so far this week as well as evaluate the process so far. Tennessee Titans Tough to Stop One of the keys for the Lions against the Tennessee Titans is going to be their ability to score against the Titans defense. The Lions have a big question mark surrounding the health of Matthew Stafford, and he will be needed if the Lions have any hope against the Tennessee Titans. The good news is that the Tennessee titans run a very similar offense to what the Lions have for the last few years, so they have some experience in how to exploit it. That being said, the Titans offense and Derrick Henry is likely to run all over the Lions defense. We have the injury report, Las Vegas line, predictions and more preparing you for this game. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks GM Candidates We spend some time discussing the Lions GM search, and the process around it. The Lions have set themselves up much different than they did last time. In 2020 they are ensuring that they take the organization and its culture into the process, which is something they missed last time by outsourcing the work to the NFL’s suggested search “guru.” This is something that has been undersold for a long time, and the importance of culture, as well as its nuance are important considerations when making outside hires. It’s possible to foster a winning culture while still working within the organization’s mores. We find the approach refreshing and believe it will present much more success than the last go around in this space. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the Lions & Packers game, the hiring of Chris Spielman, some insane Lions stats, Matthew Stafford, Kenny Golladay, and look ahead to the Tennessee Titans. It’s a long show packed with a ton of information. Tennessee Titans Trap Many times in the NFL, teams are lulled into a sense of accomplishment in which they look past their next opponent. They believe they are good enough to beat a team that’s down on its luck, and don’t take them seriously. The Tennessee Titans are poised for just such an opportunity in their game against the Lions. A home game for the Tennessee Titans makes this the perfect setup. Mike Vrabel is a smart coach, and I don’t expect that to be the modus operandi for the Tennessee Titans this week, but as Lions fans, we can have hope, right? Also, the Lions played the Packers pretty tough, and have a team that is playing hard and fighting for interim coach, Darrell Bevell. It will definitely be an interesting game, The Tennessee Titans are a tough team, but if things land just right, we could see the Lions pull one out in an unlikely situation. Detroit Lions Podcast Loves The Chris Spielman Hire It was announced shortly before we recorded that the Lions had hired Chris Spielman as their “Special Assistant to Chairman and President & CEO”. There are a lot of “ands” in that title, so it sounds like a pretty big role. Its big enough that Spielman immediately resigned from calling games for Fox and jumped in with a fire and passion that might be just right for this team right now. We also discuss Matthew Stafford’s surrounding cast throughout his career and some talk about what might be going on with Kenny Golladay.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman share the good, the bad, and the ugly around the Detroit Lions loss to the Green Bay Packers. To be fair, it was a fun game and the Lions were competitive, but the Green Bay Packers has just a little more in the tank (with some help from the refs) and got it done. Green Bay Packers Games Have a Common Theme There is always controversy when the Lions play the Green Bay Packers. For some reason the officials seem to do their part to ensure a Packers victory when these teams meet. While it wasn’t as egregious a performance as the face mask game, the Lions wound up with an injured quarterback as a result of a terrible call on replay. Marvin caught it, we all know it and saw it, but evidently the officials felt that the Green Bay Packers needed a little extra help. Detroit Lions Podcast Still Saw A Fun Game For the Lions to only lose this game by a touchdown was surprising. Many teams have had 40 burgers hung on them by the Packers this year, and the Lions were able (with a hobbled defense) to keep the game competitive until the very end, and were never really out of it. The other thing that stands out, this was a fun game to watch. It’s been a long time since the Lions were this fun to watch, even in a loss this was a fun game for Lions fans. It’s something that we didn’t really notice until the Bears game, but Lions football had really become a chore to watch. These last two games have been extremely enjoyable.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and Tony Ortiz preview the Lions game against the Green Bay Packers. With a late game on Sunday the Green Bay Packers are coming to Detroit with Aaron Rodgers and hope to lay more of their brand of dominating football on the Lions. The Lions are fielding a number of injuries, some key, which isn’t going to help their chances. Green Bay Packers Are Favorites The Green Bay Packers are bringing a 9-3 record into Detroit to play a 5-7 Lions team lead by an interim coach who found a divisional victory in his first game since being promoted. This week is a whole different ball of wax, and the Lions are going to need every bounce to go their way in order to put the Packers down. Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones are at the top of their game right now, and Davante Adams could be the best wide receiver in the league at this point. The ‘Smith brothers’ on defense present a formidable challenge for the Lions offense, and help make the Green Bay Packers a total package. Detroit Lions Podcast Sets It Up The Lions have played the Packers pretty toughly the last few years, so there’s still hope for the Lions in this match-up. It’s not guaranteed to be all cheese wheels, but the Lions needs things to go their way. We discuss the injury report, key match-ups, keys to the game, the Vegas odds, and predict the final outcome. We dive in on the migraine vs. concussion issue with D’Andre Swift, and also discuss a bit about a missing key ability for Kenny Golladay – availability. Also, we dive in on the NFC Player of the Week honors from last week, and why (or why not) Matthew Stafford deserved it.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Detroit Lions news and information. We break down the win against the Chicago Bears, a look at a series of individual player performances, an analysis of the coaching change, a look ahead to the Green Bay Packers, and we take you ‘Around The Division’. Detroit Lions Podcast Coaching Analysis The Chicago Bears couldn’t hold the Lions down, and after some second half adjustments, the Lions defense finally showed up to a game. Coaches Darrell Bevell and Cory Undlin made some interesting changes to the scheme that gave the players more freedom to utilize their talents and to give fans an entertaining game against the Chicago Bears. It was finally a fun game to watch for Lions fans. The win certainly didn’t hurt but what a difference a coach makes to the enjoyment of a game. We discuss what else it might take for Interim Coach Darrell Bevell to hold down the head coaching position, and make a comparison to a much-loved Lions coach, Wayne Fontes. It was an entertaining game that one can’t help but think had a different outcome that it would have with the previous coaching regime. Green Bay Packers Are In The Way We look ahead to the Green Bay Packers knowing full well that they are one of the best teams in the NFC. There seems to be that little fact that the Lions have consistently played them very closely over the last few years, and the Lions players have a lot to play for. Getting a coach that makes things so much better and helps them have fun with the game they grew up with means a lot to a group of guys like this, and I’d be hard-pressed to say they don’t want to win for the guy that improved their lives so much. We don’t predict the Lions to win, but there’s that small glimmer of hope, and if they were to pull one out against the Green Bay Packers – just wow. After two division victories, Darrell Bevell could be on his way to his first permanent coaching position.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman kick off ‘Victory Sunday’ after the Lions win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. It was a classic Lions comeback led by Matthew Stafford and with an unexpected game-changing play by the Lions defense. Lions interim coach Darrell Bevell manages to achieve in a single game what Matt Patricia never could in his tenure with Detroit, beat the Chicago Bears – something worth celebrating. Heads up, this is a celebratory podcast. Lions fans deserve to have some fun and enjoy the victory, to savor it, and we’re here to help. Chicago Bears Kept Lions In The Game The Chicago Bears just couldn’t put the Lions away today, they took the leads with an early field goal, but the Lions hung around within striking distance for the entire game. Then, it happened. The defense came up with a crucial turnover and Matthew Stafford led the Lions to another comeback victory. This one was sweeter. After having lost to the Chicago Bears in the last 4 meetings, getting a victory on Bevell’s first game at the helm meant a lot. The game was more fun to watch, and the team reacted well to Bevell. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees Changes Cory Undlin instituted a number of defensive changes, and they made a significant difference in the Lions results. So much so that the Lions only allowed 7 points in the second half. Previously the Lions have averaged more points allowed in the third quarter alone. We saw Matthew Stafford in the shotgun more than we used to, and to good effect. He was turned loose a bit more, and was able to do those Matthew Stafford things we’ve all grown to love. As a fan, the game was a heck of a lot more fun to watch. Overall a good game, with an excellent result and one worth celebrating. The Lions have a long road to recovery ahead, but this was the first step.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and Tony Ortiz preview Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. There is a lot of tension in the Chicago Bears locker room, the Lions on the other hand have just had a weight lifted. We weigh in on both and determine whether the Lions are going to be able to come out on top of the Chicago Bears Chicago Bears Drama In The Locker Room After the Chicago Bears embarrassing loss to Green Bay last Sunday night, Coach Nagy said the team needed to have some “personal pride” as he excoriated the defensive performance. If a player can get angry because a coach tells him he’s on his way to being a Calvin Johnson level receiver, you know damn well something like this can turn a locker room quickly. A Chicago Bears loss this week could very quickly spell the end of Matt Nagy’s time in Chicago with Ryan Pace likely to be right behind him. We discuss whether this gives the players something to play for or against this week, as it adds an interesting angle to the game. Detroit Lions Podcast Addresses The Lions Situation We hadn’t had an opportunity to discuss the Lions Coaching and GM situation with Tony Ortiz yet, so we spend some time discussing what this opportunity means for Darrell Bevell, and what characteristics we’re looking for in a coach and a GM. We discuss post-coach-firing bounce backs and what it could mean for the Lions. There’s also a great article written by Ash Thompson about Bob Quinn restoring the Lions reputation that we discuss ahead of our game preview. We cover the Injury report, Vegas odds, keys to the game, match-ups, and give you a final prediction. We even have a couple of laughs along the way.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and Sandman to discuss the breaking news that Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn have been fired by the Detroit Lions organization. Sheila Ford Hamp and Rod Wood held a press conference after the news broke to take questions and delivered a clear message about the current situation. They also did a great job of leaving their options open as the process moves forward. Detroit Lions Podcast Gives Sheila Ford Hamp an ‘A’ Grade So Far Last year the Ford family gave a clear indication of what it would take for the current regime to survive, they didn’t meet the standard, and were thus let go. This is the first appearance by Sheila Ford Hamp in her role as team owner bringing significant change to the Lions organization, and she did so perfectly. Her delivery and ability not to box herself into a bad position with the press served her well in delivering the message of the day, while allowing the process to determine the road forward. So far a great leading hand by Ford Hamp. The Writing Was On The Wall For Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn We’ve discussed it extensively, but the loss to the Carolina Panthers was really the last straw for Matt Patricia as Detroit Lions head coach. We discussed Bob Quinn’s draft success in our last show, and it was obvious that he wasn’t performing where he needed to be either. While Mike Vrabel would have been our preference as head coach, there’s likely no possibility he would have done better with the talent that Bob Quinn gave him. We were all in on this duo, but they’ve shown they didn’t have what it took, and it’s time for the Lions to move toward their inevitable rebuild.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon to discuss the Lions Thanksgiving Day game against the Houston Texans. We also chat about the Carolina Panthers game as a turning point for Coach Matt Patricia and General Manager Bob Quinn. The Houston Texans Present An Interesting Opponent The Houston Texans are having a dumpster fire of a year in 2020, much like the Detroit Lions. There isn’t a whole lot to play for beyond pride and conversely a draft position. Neither team’s leadership is in a position to care too much about draft position, so a game for pride it is. We walk through strengths and weaknesses of the Houston Texans, the injury report, and our final game predictions. Our recommendation? Enjoy your Thanksgiving, and don’t let the Lions (or the Houston Texans) wreck it for you. Its great background noise, but time with your family will be much more productive. Detroit Lions Podcast Looks At Bob Quinn’s Draft Results We take a bit to look back at Bob Quinn’s draft results and what they might mean for his future with the team. We’ll rank hit vs. miss and give you the overall hit percentage for Quinn. Spoiler alert – the team plays like they draft. With that information we discuss whether Quinn, Patricia, or both will be looking for a new employer after this season. This becomes the baseline for some in-depth work we will be doing on the front office hiring process. We hope to arm you with the information you need before the process starts so you can watch along as things unfold and make good assessments in real time. We’ll have guests and content over the course of the next few shows to provide you a deep dive into what happens day-to-day in those jobs, what to expect during the interview, and a lot more. Really good content/information coming even though the football isn’t so hot.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Sandman to discuss the Lions defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. It wasn’t just a game in which the Lions were defeated, but the way in which they lost that was incredibly demoralizing for fans. You could feel the spark of hope being snuffed as the game against the Carolina Panthers played out. Carolina Panthers Stronger Than The Score Indicates There were two touchdowns negated by interceptions in the end zone – but those occurred after the Carolina Panthers marched down the field on long strong drives. The Lions defense seemed to be on the field for the entire game. With no execution on offense, one can’t expect much more that a shutout – and that’s exactly what the Lions anemic offense offered up. Detroit Lions Podcast Analysis There is a lot about to take place with the team’s front office and coaches. We discuss some potential scenarios and the high and low possibilities of each one. How good is the job in Detroit going to be? Who will we be bringing in and how good is the Detroit coaching job? What should we expect? We start the discussion on these items and there will be a lot more in the upcoming shows.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and Tony Ortiz to break down the upcoming Lions Game against the Carolina Panthers. It’s an important game for the Lions to stay relevant, and the Carolina Panthers are ripe to be beaten – what do the guys have to say about the Lions chances? Carolina Panthers Walking Wounded The Detroit Lions aren’t the only team in the NFL hurting, the Carolina Panthers have a number of injuries of their own. Teddy Bridgewater will likely miss, and the Carolina Panthers offensive line will be down two players. Both teams’ quarterbacks are injured and we aren’t sure if wither will play. Looking ahead to a short week, the Lions have a number of key decisions to make. Detroit Lions Podcast Analysis We’ll talk about the Vegas line and why the Carolina Panthers game is likely a game to stay away from, as well as where Chris would put his money if he had to. We’ll also break down important match-ups, Keys to the game, and provide you with our final predictions – spoiler alert – everyone likes the Lions here.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case spend some time talking about the Lions win over Washington, discuss what appears to be D’Andre Swift’s breakout game, and go deep on Matt Patricia, Bob Quinn, and the Lions regime. We also provide insight on Matthew Stafford’s injury, talk about losing leads, and look ahead to the Carolina Panthers. Detroit Lions Podcast With So Much To Say It was so great to be back on the mic after a nutty week that kept Chris unavailable and forced us to miss a few shows. We greatly apologize for that, and are so happy to be back. This show might just be the biggest we’ve done on the team’s options around Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia. We discuss scenarios of all levels of probability, and some of them are guaranteed to be nightmare scenes for folks – that’s OK. It’s better to think these things through and make the best choice available while also understanding the reasoning and consequences. We’ll expand on these discussions in the coming weeks and even do some deeper dives on a few possibilities, but right now, the table is open for the Lions.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman discuss the latest Lions loss to the Minnesota Vikings. This matchup has been brutal to the Lions over the years, and in this meeting the Minnesota Vikings prevailed again. The Lions did everything they could to give the game to the Minnesota Vikings, including putting only 10 defenders on the field on a Dalvin Cook 70-yard TD run. It feels like the wheels are fully coming off of this experiment, and the future is not only already written, but written in stone. Minnesota Vikings Blues Beater We talk about the situation for the Lions, their coaching staff, the front office, and the players. We spend some time focusing on Matthew Stafford and try to read the tea leaves about his future. There are definitely questions that need to be answered in this space, and in typical Lions fashion, none of the answers are good one. Worry not though, despite the many requests during the 24-hour podcast-a-thon for St. Jude, Chris would not take donations for drinks – he wanted to be sure he could make it. This time, since the show is only an hour long, Chris went in on the Jägermeister and raised more money for St. Jude – at one point almost drowning himself thanks to a technical glitch along the way. The laughs are definitely worth your time. Check Us Out On YouTube! If you prefer the video version of the podcast, check out the Detroit Lions Podcast YouTube Channel here.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Case, and Jeff Risdon take you through the Lions loss against the Indianapolis Colts, look ahead to the Minnesota Vikings, and talk through the Matthew Stafford Covid/Reserve situation. We also prep you for Friday’s 24-hour Detroit Lions Podcast-a-thon for St. Jude. We have a number of great guests joining us for the show, you will definitely want to join us for that. It all starts at 9:00 am EST at DetroitLionsPodcast.com The Minnesota Vikings Are Beatable Even after their big win against Green Bay, the Minnesota Vikings have flaws. Both of their games against the Green Bay Packers were shoot outs with total scores of at least 50 points. That being said, they have lost to the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons on the way to their 2-5 record. There is also the great match-up of the Lions Everson Griffen vs. Riley Reiff of the Minnesota Vikings. No matter the outcome of the game, that should be a fun match-up to watch for Lions fans. We discuss the possibility of Matthew Stafford playing for the Lions after his trip to the Reserve/Covid list. It is possible, and there are some interesting logistics involved, but it’s still a possibility that Matthew Stafford plays. The good news is that if we have to play Chase Daniel instead of Matthew Stafford, he’s a 2-0 against the Minnesota Vikings, no reason this team shouldn’t be able to help him get to a 3-0 record. Tell Everyone You Know! Our 24-hour Podcast-a-thon St. Jude fundraiser is this coming Friday – November 6th – we’ll have a number of very important guests including Lions players (past and present), Lions coaches, national level sports stars and a whole lot more.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman take a look back at the Lions and Indianapolis Colts game. We talked about this game being a real test of the team, and frankly, the Lions failed against the Indianapolis Colts. It was a low energy, game in which the Indianapolis Colts overwhelmed the Lions in the trenches and set the tone for the entire game. While not pivotal to the game’s outcome, we got a nice dose of terrible officiating that we’ve become accustomed to over the years. Indianapolis Colts Beat The Lions Up! It all happened in the trenches. The offensive and defensive lines for the Indianapolis Colts just dominated the Lions this week. It was a clinic on how important an offensive and defensive line are in the NFL. Matthew Stafford was hit/sacked a number of times, and never looked very comfortable in the pocket. Couple that with a team that just couldn’t find energy and you get the shellacking that the Lions received today. We talked about this game being a statement game for the Lions, and the statement they made was unintelligible. Tell Everyone You Know! Our 24-hour podcast-a-thon St. Jude fundraiser is this coming Friday – November 6th – we’ll have a number of very important guests including Lions players (past and present), Lions coaches, national level sports stars and a whole lot more.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Tony “TO” Ortiz take a look ahead at the Lions and Indianapolis Colts game. This game is a real test of the Lions and whether their trajectory is real, or they just came out on top of a couple of really bad teams. The Indianapolis Colts are looking to increase their record to 5-2 with a win over the Lions. Injury report, scouting the match-ups, and keys to the game are here to help you get ready for the game against the Indianapolis Colts. Detroit Lions Podcast Asks Tony Ortiz About Everson Griffen! So at the end of the show, we discuss Everson Griffen coming to the Lions and what he means to the defense. Will Everson Griffen improve the defense at 32 years old, or is he on the down slope of his career and only adding to a less than effective Lions rush? Who will be the biggest beneficiaries of the Everson Griffen signing? We’ll let you know and help you set the right expectations when Everson Griffen takes the field against the Minnesota Vikings Indianapolis Colts Are Next The highly touted Indianapolis Colts Offensive line is coming to Ford Field, and they hope to start pushing the Lions around right away. With the Indianapolis Colts Center Ryan Kelly not practicing and being listed as “Questionable”, the Lions might just get a break and have an opportunity to use that injury in their favor. Vegas favors the Colts at -3, but there’s more to it than just that. We’ll dive in and help you with the betting lines as well Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break the news moments after it occurs – The Detroit Lions have traded for Everson Griffen. Obviously, big news for the team, so we cover it twice. We also discuss the wide receiver corps and look at an advanced stats view of player performance. We also discuss the running back room, Lions defense, and remaining strength of schedule in the NFC North. We also take a brief look ahead to the Indianapolis Colts. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Everson Griffen Trade! Huge news broke as we were going live with today’s show. The Detroit Lions have traded a conditional sixth round pick to the Dallas Cowboys, and have picked up Everson Griffen in return. For a song and a tad over $3 million the Detroit Lions have significantly upgraded their pass rush with Everson Griffen, who is certain to make the players around him better. We’ll talk about how he helps the team and when we will finally see him. The best news? We’ve got him twice against a team that tossed him to the trash heap. That should be fun. Indianapolis Colts Get Shorter Time With the breaking Everson Griffen news, we don’t get to give the full treatment to the Indianapolis Colts game. We do discuss what to look for, and how the Lions defense should attack Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Phillip Rivers. A key match-up we discuss is the Lions defensive front against the Indianapolis Colts offensive line. That is going to be a battle all day, the Colts o-line is one of the best, and will likely signal which team is having the most success. A win against the Indianapolis Colts would do a lot for the Lions confidence and help atone for early season difficulties. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman kick off celebration Sunday after a great Lions win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons were a good test for a Lions team who needs to string a few wins together to have any hope of making this season relevant. For Matt Patricia, the Atlanta Falcons could very well have had his career in their hands. Instead, the Lions walk away with a win. The Atlanta Falcons Defense showed up! This game against the Atlanta Falcons was widely expected to be a shoot-out, with neither defense garnering a whole lot of respect around the league. The Lions were able to bring the defense that showed itself in Jacksonville on the trip to Atlanta, and the Falcons stepped up to ensure the Lions didn’t have an easy day of it. The result was a score that came in under the Vegas O/U by 15 points. The Atlanta Falcons are definitely a better team than their record shows, but for two away games in a row, the Lions were able to cinch up and walk away with a win. On different note, that’s coach Matt Patricia’s first two-win streak since he started coaching the Lions. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees A Test Against The Colts The Lions have been on a great trajectory since the bye week, two wins and a lot of hop starting to come back. The Indianapolis Colts will provide the next test, a better team than both Atlanta and Jacksonville, this feels like the Lions are marching toward the next boss in your favorite video game. Slowly escalating difficulty coupled with a need for an increased level of play to find success. Are the Lions up to the task? Three of the last four games of the season will present a series of boss battles that may determine more than just the playoff fate of this team… Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and Tony Ortiz preview player performances and take a look ahead to the game against the Atlanta Falcons. As a team who played unexpectedly well last week, the Atlanta Falcons are looking to build on their success after firing coach Dan Quinn and GM Thomas Dimitroff following their 0-5 start. The Atlanta Falcons Aren’t A Good Team! They aren’t terrible either. The situation with the Atlanta Falcons front office changes last week wasn’t a case of an owner giving up on their coach and management, it was more a “we need to change things up because they just aren’t working anymore.” The Atlanta Falcons players reacted to the front office shakeup strongly and rushed out to a strong lead against the Vikings early before almost giving up the game in the 4th. We don’t expect them to suddenly rise to greatness, but there are some good players on that team who the Lions need to account for. We discuss that, what the Lions need to do to pull out a victory, and who to look for along the way. Detroit Lions Podcast Predicts A Surprising Outcome We discuss the emergence of the Atlanta Falcons interim coach Raheem Morris and how the players are fighting for him to take the role of permanent Head Coach of the team. We also share our thoughts on important match-ups during the game, Lions keys to the game, the Vegas line, and predict potential outcomes. The Lions are facing an interesting opponent in the Atlanta Falcons this week, and both teams’ season could pivot on the outcome on Sunday. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher. We’ve got a plan to make it happen, and will be bringing out the big guns. Let’s help make it a great “Christmas For The Kids”, together, starting on November 6.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the Lions season so far, breakdown player performances and take a look ahead to the game against the Atlanta Falcons. As a team who played unexpectedly well last week, the Atlanta Falcons are looking to build on their success after firing coach Dan Quinn and GM Thomas Dimitroff following their 0-5 start. Atlanta Falcons Aren’t A Good Team! The situation with the Atlanta Falcons wasn’t a case of a team giving up on their coach and management, it was more a “we need to change things up because they just aren’t working any more.” The Atlanta Falcons reacted to the news/situation as though it was a wake up call. We don’t expect them to suddenly rise to greatness, but there are some good players on that team who the Lions need to account for. We discuss that, and what to expect. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees An Easier Road Ahead For The Team We discuss the improvement of Matthew Stafford, the emergence of D’Andre Swift, Jarrad Davis and his new found success, and the emergence of a defensive pass rush. All things we needed to see from the Lions, and that we absolutely need to continue against the Atlanta Falcons. We cover all of that including the excellent run blocking and terrible rush ranking paradox facing the team. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman help Lions fans celebrate the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Lions were able to play very well in all three phases of the game, which is not something we see very often from this team, and logged a convincing victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Is this something to look forward to, or was it a flash against a terrible team? Jacksonville Jaguars Aren’t A Good Team! There is an obvious argument that the Jacksonville Jaguars aren’t a good football team. Many Lions fans follow with, “this win is meaningless because the Jags stink!” While this may be true, the Jacksonville Jaguars are an NFL team with NFL-caliber talent. The Lions didn’t eke out a win, nor did they seem to struggle at any point. If you were to see this score in a Packers/Jaguars game, you’d feel that was “right”. Take the win and enjoy it, the Lions played well. Detroit Lions Podcast Still Has Questions With that there are questions that we will need to start asking right after victory Monday. Questions like, “Is Matthew Stafford back?” “Was this defensive showing the result of game plan, or has a real adjustment been made in the bye week?” “Will we see this defense again?” “Is D’Andre Swift really as good as he looked?” There are a lot of things to think about and a second watch this week will help. Great win from the Lions, hope to see this continue.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and Tony Ortiz get together to preview the Detroit Lions upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Lions have a lot of similar issues to the Jacksonville Jaguars, a struggling defense, a 1-3 record, and a fan base that is ready for a coaching change. Jacksonville Jaguars Coaching Struggles This could be a pivotal game for both teams, and might be the final nail in the coffin for the coach whose team comes away the loser. It may turn into a battle between to see which coach still has their players on board. As I often do, I’m putting my money on the Lions to take this game and the Jacksonville Jaguars to be the one’s taking action in relieving their coach of his duties. Detroit Lions Podcast Previews Tony Ortiz and Jeff Risdon make a great case for a Lions win this week, whether Lions fans want it or not. The Lions are heading into a stretch of very winnable games, and while it isn’t anyone’s prediction, the New York Giants won a Super Bowl with a 9-7 team that no one thought had any business even making the playoffs. As crazy as 2020 has been, it might not hurt to let your mind imagine the insanity for a bit. That’s on you though, it never comes up in the show.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Lions news heading out of the bye week and into the rest of the Lions season, starting at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here we are facing one of the most important, must win games of Matt Patricia’s coaching career in Week 6 of a Covid-plagued NFL season. Even Vegas is betting against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, so a loss by the Lions could signal the end of Matt Patricia’s time in Detroit. Detroit Lions Podcast Reflects On Coaching Errors In this episode we tackle a number of topics, but one of the most important is likely Chris’s discussion about the ongoing coaching failures in Detroit, and a very possible cause. Chris explains exactly why Jim Caldwell was a 9-7 coach at best in Detroit, and likely why Jim Schwartz had the success he did, and even a likely key to why Matt Patricia is having difficulty as well. From there he defines one very specific coordinator he wants, why he wants him, and what it means to selecting the next Head Coach for this team. The Lions Still Have To Face The Jacksonville Jaguars We take a look ahead to the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and what it will take for the Lions to pull out a must win game against an exceptionally bad Jacksonville team. We also take you ‘Around The Division’, discuss Jeff Okudah’s growth, dig in on the defensive line, and discuss the sudden surge of former Lions receiver Travis Fulgham. There are plenty of valid reasons to rip on the Lions coaching and scouting staff, but Travis Fulgham isn’t really one of them. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Lions news heading into the bye week. There’s a heck of a lot more to talk about than one might think. Fans are down due to the team’s performance, some want heads on stakes, and many just welcome a break from the pain. How do you put together a show when facing those headwinds? Like a boss, that’s how. Listen in and see what we’re talking about… Detroit Lions Podcast Talks The ‘Arc Of A Lions Fan’ Chris has talked about his ‘Arc of a Lions Fan’ theory a few times on the show, this time he lays it all out. He explains why the Lions present a unique fan experience, and one that is repeatable, predictable, and which the Detroit Lions organization really needs to understand before it’s too late. It’s definitely worth a listen, if only to understand where you are on the arc, and how to break the cycle. We also ask whether we should adjust our opinions to align with the current “popular” opinion. It’s an interesting question, and with 5 different hosts from extremely diverse backgrounds on the show during a typical game week, all providing their differing opinions, we land on ‘no’. That’s not giving away the ghost on this, the ‘why’ is probably the real meat of this discussion. Bye For Football – The Coach Too? It’s been a big week on Twitter about the state of the Detroit Lions and their coaching staff. Many have brought out the knives for the Lions coach, Matt Patricia, and GM Bob Quinn as well. Some however, have a different opinion. Lawrence Jackson brought some real insight and thoughtful commentary this week, definitely worth checking out. We go back over Coach Jim Caldwell’s tenure, and even spend some time on Jim Schwartz’s time with the team. After talking through and reminding fans of the historical perspective, we start to discuss Matt Patricia’s legacy with the Lions and what it might mean. We also cover the Houston Texans firing of Bill O’Brien, and what the ‘right time’ to fire a coach is for the Lions. There’s a lot more to this than sending someone packing, and fans needs to think of that within the context of the big picture and what it means for the team over the long term Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by world famous superstar Tony “TO” Ortiz, and Jeff “The Riz” Risdon to preview this week’s Lions game against the New Orleans Saints. A great show, and TO gets a little loose lipped with a Brandstatter story teaser and rumors of a picture of him in a Spider man costume… More to come on that! The New Orleans Saints Injury Report Is Longer Than War & Peace While the New Orleans Saints are the 4.5 point Vegas favorites, that could all change with the release of the New Orleans Saints Injury Report. Both starting cornerbacks (Marshon Lattimore and Janoris Jenkins), Jared Cook, Andrus Peat, Marcus Davenport, and Michael Thomas are all ‘out’ for the New Orleans Saints. If there was ever a game where Matthew Stafford should break free, find his groove, and open up, this one looks set up to be the one. Kenny Golladay with another week of healing puts him and Marvin Jones in their respective positions of strength, TJ Hockenson, Danny Amendola, and even Jesse James look poised to have a big day. If you’re looking for D’Andre Swift to have his first show out game, I’d expect it against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. In other words, take the over. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Match-ups Chris, Jeff, and Tony scout out their most important match-ups for the game and discuss keys to the Lions victory. Each of us found another key for the Lions to beat the New Orleans Saints after their strong showing against the Arizona Cardinals. We spend some time reviewing that game (which we all predicted wrong), and what it could mean if the Lions were to come out of this week with a 2-2 record. Boy would some heads explode if that were to happen… Predictions finish the show off, and you just might be surprised by what you hear. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take you through the Lions first win of the season against the Arizona Cardinals, look ahead to the New Orleans Saints, and a whole lot more. Detroit Lions Podcast Puts The Arizona Cardinals Game Under Further Review The Detroit Lions played a great game against the Arizona Cardinals. The defense stepped up like it hasn’t so far in 2020, and it looked very good doing it. Chris debunks the narrative that the Lions didn’t win the game and that Kyler Murray lost it, with some help from Ash Thompson. The Lions stepped up in all three phases of the game to take that one away from the Arizona Cardinals, and are looking to do it again next week against the New Orleans Saints. The guys also discuss the lowering difficulty of the schedule after the bye week and what it could mean for the team’s performance on the year. Also, what it might mean insofar as the team keeping Matt Patricia as coach. There are many layers to this, and we start to work with some of them on what will certainly be a multi-week conversation. On To The New Orleans Saints This is where the Lions get their chance to show that they are truly heading in the right direction – Sunday afternoon at Ford Field against the New Orleans Saints. The Lions will definitely have to take the next step as a team, the offense and ball control is likely going to be key again against the New Orleans Saints. Alvin Kamara is going to be difficult to stop, and Drew Brees might be old, but no one thinks he’s washed up. The New Orleans Saints are coming off of two tough weeks of football and likely expect to roll over the Lions. This game is a statement game for Detroit – how they play against the New Orleans Saints this week may very well define their season. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher. We’ve got a plan to make it happen, and will be bringing out the big guns. Let’s help make it a great “Christmas For The Kids”, together, starting on November 6. More details will be forthcoming as we get closer. Check Us Out On YouTube! If you prefer the video version of the podcast, check out the Detroit Lions Podcast YouTube Channel here.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Andy the Sandman to help you celebrate the Lions first win in eleven months, and they got it over the Arizona Cardinals. An unexpected event that was an excellent team effort by the Lions in all phases of the game. Kyler Murray didn’t have a great game, but much of that was forced by how the Lions attacked their offense. Lions Didn’t Let The Arizona Cardinals Take Off The Lions did a great job of containing Kyler Murray in the pocket other than on designed run plays. In doing so, they limited the Arizona Cardinals offense in a way that gave the Lions a chance to exchange scores throughout the game. The lead was traded between teams multiple times, but with solid play in all three phases of the game the Lions were able to stop Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals to set up Matthew Stafford’s Lions final drive. This put the Lions in position to run the clock out with a victory on a Matt Prater field goal. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees A Full Game From The Lions The win over the Arizona Cardinals started with a solid defensive performance, including the Jeff Okudah interception (his first) that Chris predicted on Friday’s show with Jeff Risdon and Tony Ortiz. The Lions defense has been lacking this year, but they were able to scheme around the Arizona Cardinals offense in a way that gave the Lions offense what they needed to pull out a victory in Arizona. Of course, we take your calls – that’s what we do on the post-game show. We update the Detroit Lions Podcast “Meaningful Games In Decemb-o-mometer” as a result of today’s win over the Arizona Cardinals and take your calls. Its celebration Sunday and Monday for Lions fans, and then we get ready to face the New Orleans Saints. We also announce that we are “getting the band back together!” Dan Miller, Jim Brandstatter, and Tony Ortiz, the Detroit Lions Radio Network’s Superstar Lions crew are reuniting for the first time since Jim Brandstatter was asked to leave the Radio team with Dan. Join us at the 24-hour podcast-a-thon when they call in and share never-before-heard behind-the-scenes stories and take us back to the golden era of Lions Radio broadcasts. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and Tony “TO” Ortiz to preview this week’s Lions game against the Arizona Cardinals. As always we have a great show with insights you won’t get anywhere else! Arizona Cardinals Are The Favorites Here we are at game three of a season in which the Lions desperately need a win. They’ve had a tough schedule so far, and that difficulty level isn’t easing up. The Arizona Cardinals and Kyler Murry aren’t going to make things much easier for the hapless Lions. The one thing the Lions have in their favor is that Arizona has the weakest defense the Lions have seen in the season so far – that’s something the Lions look to exploit. The Lions are going to need to put a lot of points on the board, and are hoping to see the Matthew Stafford of early 2019 on the field against the Arizona Cardinals, not the one who we’ve seen in 2020. We’ll talk about why there’s hope that this just might be the case. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Defense This is likely to be a tough test for rookie Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah as he’s likely to face off against the timeless Larry Fitzgerald, a wily vet who has the talent of a man many years younger. This is going to be a key match-up for the Lions, as is the defensive line. Kenyan Drake is always a threat, and Kyler Murray can run like no other. The Lions are going to need to take the ball away from the Arizona Cardinals, likely more than once, if they have any hope to win the game. We’ll share our predictions, the Detroit Lions Podcast “Meaningful Games In Decemb-o-mometer” makes its first appearance, Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals Injury Reports, and a whole lot more jam this info-packed show. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude – Christmas For The Kids We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher. We’ve got a plan to make it happen, and will be bringing out the big guns. Let’s help make it a great “Christmas For The Kids”, together, starting on November 6.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by the post-game brain known as Sandman. They discuss the Lions loss to the Green Bay Packers. It’s a big therapy week, and thus a pretty long show. If you need to find a way to get over the loss and have a couple of laughs along the way, we’ve got the salve you need. Green Bay Packers Sit Atop The Division No one thought it would be the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears at the top of the division with the Minnesota Vikings and Lions sitting winless after two game. The Packers are showing strong early this year, and the struggling Lions were an early casualty. The Lions have an extremely difficult start to the season and for all intents and purposes it looks like the team will be winless going into the bye week. Should we fire coach Matt Patricia now? Chris still says, “not yet”. Sandman tends to agree. Everyone agrees it’s a terrible place for the team and fans to be only two games into the season. Detroit Lions Podcast Let’s You Know When We talk about timing on the coach firing that seems inevitable at this point. While coach Matt Patricia still has a lot of season to work with before it can be determined if the Lions will be playing “meaningful games in December”, the fuse is definitely getting shorter. Chris will tell you when he think pulling the trigger makes the most sense, not just for immediate satisfaction, but for the long term health of the team. The boys also discuss their thinking on Bob Quinn’s future with the organization. In there we also discuss the game and the performance of players both for the Lions and Green Bay Packers (good and bad). Lastly, we take a ton of calls throughout the show – I have to say that by the end of the show we all agreed that the therapy worked and we were ready to move on. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher. We’ve got a plan to make it happen, and will be bringing out the big guns. Let’s help make it a great “Christmas For The Kids”, together, starting on November 6.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and a slightly late Tony Ortiz – Check that, Tony is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to. Dean Blandino is here with his insight on exactly what’s going on with Clete Blakeman too – this is huge news for Lions fans. Dean Blandino Talks Clete Blakeman, the NFL And More We get Dean Blandino on the phone again to discuss what in the heck the NFL was thinking by putting “controversial” referee, Clete Blakeman, on the Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers game. This is a no win situation for the NFL or the crew – and historically, the Lions. Dean talks through how they typically handle such things, why things might be different this time, and goes into a number of other topics. As always, love him or hate him, Dean Blandino brings great insight to the show and what the NFL is doing. Detroit Lions Podcast Green Bay Preview After last Sunday’s game, listening to fans all week, and thinking the city was burning down, no one was feeling particularly great about facing the Green Bay Packers in week two. A perennial playoff contender with their second Hall of Fame quarterback in a row is never a fun place to go as a visiting team. Looking from a distance, this is a blowout win for the Packers, but we dive in a little deeper and see something a little different. We start with this week’s Lions and Green Bay Packers Injury Report. The Detroit Lions and Green Back Packers have a long history, but recently, the Lions have been really close, and had the Packers number. As a matter of fact, they’ve beat the Packers twice since they’ve beaten Chicago. This is a much better match-up than many would expect, and if both team show up in Lambeau it should be a highly contested game. Jeff Risdon and Tony Ortiz make their predictions, while Chris plays Case’s normal road and rides the fence a little bit. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude We discuss our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher. We’ve got a plan to make it happen, and will be bringing out the big guns. Let’s help make it a great “Christmas For The Kids”, together, starting on November 6.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case for our weekly podcast. It’s been a tough start to the week after the Chicago Bears game, and Lions fans already want blood. We’ve done our re-watch, we’ve got the stats, and we talk about what went wrong, where this team is, and what to expect next week against the Green Bay Packers. Detroit Lions Podcast say R-E-L-A-X It’s not time to burn down the house. For perspective, 2020 has been a whirlwind of bad news, let’s all be thankful that we at least have football at this point. That being said, the Lions lost a close one in their first game against the Chicago Bears at Ford Field. This doesn’t foment a lot of hope for their chances against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau field. Reacting too harshly or too excitedly about the results of the first game of an NFL season is never good for one’s psychological health. Enjoy that we have football and if the team does poorly that the Coach will be gone. Or, conversely, enjoy the bounce-back that gets this team a playoff spot. Either way, enjoy the game of football. A lot of work went into making sure we could have it, and burning it (or each other) down with vitriol just isn’t worth it, nor is it healthy. There’s a lot of great stuff in this show, we take your calls, both live and on the Lions Line, we talk about Patricia’s tenure, and the starts and realities from Sunday’s Chicago Bears game. We quickly walk across the league, and then preview the Green Bay Packers game for listeners. Oh yeah, Clete Blakeman. We talk about him – we’ll cover him and how he got this gig much more in depth during the preview show on Friday. Help Us Raise Money For St. Jude We announce our plans around our upcoming (2nd annual) fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital – we raised almost $7,500 last time, this time our goal is much, much higher.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Andy the Sandman Morse and Case to look back on the Lions game against the Chicago Bears today. Detroit Lions Podcast Gets Your Reactions Well, this one didn’t end up how Lions fans wanted it to. After a slow start, the Lions seemed to bring things together to take a 17-point lead against the Chicago Bears. Unfortunately, two familiar bugs bit this team, and left us with an all too familiar result. The first bug was the injury bug. We started the game down one cornerback, and by the end of the game we were down three. I don’t care who you are playing, in the NFL your 5th cornerback is going to get burned if you have to play him regularly during a game. The result was another bug bite – blowing a lead late in the game. This all too familiar feeling has been the bane of Lions fans for years. Starting a season off against the Chicago Bears (a team you expect to beat) and blowing a 17 point lead is no a way to win fans over. As we saw today, it’s a blueprint for mutiny. To be honest, I’ve never seen as much rage and anger in fans in years as I saw today. It was exponentially worse than any loss I can remember in recent history. It’s one game, there is a lot of season ahead, folks. Save some of that frustration, there will be plenty of opportunities to let it out as the year progresses. If Jamie Collins performance is any indication, many more. Check Us Out On YouTube! If you prefer the video version of the podcast, check out the Detroit Lions Podcast YouTube Channel here.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and Tony Ortiz to preview the Lions season opener at Ford Field against the Chicago Bears. It’s been a while since we’ve had Tony on the show, and he’s all about continuing to join us as the season goes on, so look out for his great insights, and personality as we move forward. Detroit Lions Podcast Staring Down The Chicago Bears First things first, we quickly cover what the Chiefs and Texans game last night felt like. Football is new in a strange way in the Covid era, and we discussed what it felt like, what it means for the Lions, and what things will be like at Ford Field. From there, we move into a recap of the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears history. Being the longest running uninterrupted annual series in the NFL, there is a lot of history to discuss and Chris takes you on a somewhat painful journey through time – it’s the Lions, what do you expect? Tony “The Anchor” Ortiz brings us the late-breaking Lions and Chicago Bears Injury reports and we discuss what that means to the Lions and what it’s going to take to overcome the Bears on Sunday. We scout the key match-ups and bring you keys to the game so you know exactly what to look for. We also cover the Vegas line, how its changed over the week, and end with our final prediction on the game. Our first game preview of the year is in the bag – look for more Tony, and more coverage at our live post-game show! As is expected for the majority of the season, Sandman joins us to break down every little bit of Lions play, right after the beat the Chicago Bears. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case discuss the latest news as the Lions cut down to their 53 man roster. There were a few surprises that we discuss, a couple that we expected on the practice squad, and a loss we totally didn’t expect. We also discuss the home field advantage during Covid, jersey numbers, season predictions, Around The Division, and a whole lot more. We’ve got a big week of information coming your way with our game preview on Friday with Jeff Risdon and Tony Ortiz from 97.1, as well as our first live post game show right after Sunday’s game with Sandman and Case. Detroit Lions Podcast Covers The 53 Man Roster Out of the chute we get into the Lions naming their 53 man roster. Of course the signing of Adrian Peterson (with all the AD vs. AP talk we just landed at ADP – he’s money after all, right?). We also cover the practice squad decisions, including the number of quarterbacks being carried on the roster (Case gets a chance to hold that over some folks’ head) while Chris crashes and burns on his Jason Huntley prediction. That one hurt. Oday Aboushi almost added to Chris’s embarrassment, but luckily Bob Quinn decided to bring him back onto the roster saving Chris from a double miss from the last show. Our mini preview of the Lions Bears makes some very important points about just how important this game is to GM Bob Quinn and Coach Matt Patricia. It seems silly that the first game of the year, one in which literally anything is possible, in a Covid year could be make or break, but Chris truly believes that it really is. This is just where the Detroit Lions are. We also take you on a quick jaunt Around The Division. Don’t miss this episode if you want to be ready for the Detroit Lions 2020 season. Friday’s game preview will be a must-watch, and Sunday’s post game show will be worth every second you spend. It’s a busy week for us, and great information for you – let’s hook up!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon to discuss the latest news as the Lions break training camp and get ready for the regular season. In just 10 days the Lions begin playing in anger, and there’s a lot of work yet to be done before the season starts. In this almost 2-hour episode we take you through everything in the Lions and NFC North to get you ready for the next 10 days. Detroit Lions Podcast – The Deck Hits Pay Dirt The first thing we cover is Taylor Decker’s payday. The Lions and Taylor Decker locked down one of the best win-win deals you’ll see for a left tackle in the NFL today. We discuss the nuances about the deal and why it’s a signal for where this team is going not only in the front office, but with its coaches, and players. It’s one of the biggest stories of the off-season. We also talk about some changes at the fullback position, it looks like Nick Bawden’s injuries may have cost him a gig in the NFL in the near-term. We loved him, but Jason Cabinda has come on strong. Love to have competition between great players, as good as Bawden was – even if he hadn’t gotten injured, Cabinda was likely to grab that role. Next we talk about cut day, coming up on Saturday (just 2 days from when this was recorded), and speak through who we think some surprise victims might be. Cuts are always hard, especially for the players themselves. No one likes this, but this year has a bit of a silver lining for fans… The Detroit Lions are going to cut some very talented players who will find work elsewhere in the NFL. There have been years where this hasn’t happened. Another sign of the Lions improving and getting better at seeking and drafting talent. Matthew Stafford Is Going To Be The NFL MVP He said so, there’s really nothing else to cover there. Lastly we go in-depth on the Lions upcoming season and land with our predictions. Last year the Riz predicted a 5-win season, everyone hated him for hit. He even got hate mail – really bad hate mail. Where does he think the Lions come in this year? You have to listen to find out – what do you think this is, anyway? We also go around the division, discuss our the other teams in the NFC North have changed (for better or worse) and give you our predictions for each one. It’s a huge show, just what you need after a long off-season of eating junk food and wishing there were decent sports on TV. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon to discuss the latest news from Lions Training Camp. Who is playing where, whose showing up, and what the team might look like for game one. We also do a deep dive on Riz’s 2019 season re-watch series and talk about players who may or may not live up to the hype they’ve gotten so far. We also do a quick take on whether Earl Thomas should be in the Lions future and talk Covid 19 testing blunders and a lack of fans at the first two Lions games. Tons of stuff packed into this hour-long show. Detroit Lions Podcast – Camp Is Hot! We get the Hockenson hype train moving with help from an Erik Schlitt article about his performance at camp – great news for last year’s first round pick. Also we talk about Logan Stenberg, what his success and the plan around him means for GM Bob Quinn and Coach Matt Patricia. We couldn’t help but give love to coach Hank Fraley for his great work at the Senior Bowl and with the work he’s putting in with the Lions offensive line. We love Hank – he is an absolute gem for the Lions. We talk Jonah Jackson, Jamaal “Spiro” Agnew, Matt Prater, and wrap it up with a report on the Lions cancelled practice day.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case and Jeff Risdon to discuss the first week of padded practice for the Lions 2020 Training Camp. Ahead of that we are joined by current University of Michigan radio voice and former voice of Detroit Lions Radio Network, Jim Brandstatter. We talk about the cancellation of the Big 10 season, and what it means for the players and fans. Jim tells us what a spring season would mean to players, fans, and the NFL Draft. A great conversation with half of the dynamic duo that was Dan Miller and Jim Brandstatter. He’s always worth a listen. Detroit Lions Podcast – Talking NFL Football After Jim’s guest appearance, we move on to break down everything that’s happened in Lions Training Camp so far. We start with Jeff Okudah’s performance, The amazing combination of Marvin Jones, Kenny Golladay, and Matthew Stafford. They are looking elite and possibly unstoppable. Definitely a group for Lions opponents to look out for this season. We also talk about the huge RB stable the Lions are currently fielding. Quick hint: Deandre Swift is just plain killing it. Kerryon Johnson is taking the majority of the reps, and also looking good, but we are likely positioned as good as we’ve been at this position since the Barry Sanders years. We also discuss the great work that Jonah Jackson has been putting in. This is the kind of work that wins men starting spots on NFL rosters. The last of our camp coverage discusses injuries so far and what they might mean. From there we take a look at the division and what it might mean for the Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia era. What will it take for them to stay? We answer that and more on this week’s show. Making Your Fantasies Real We’ve launched the sign-up for our annual Fantasy Football Leagues.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case to discuss everything Lions just before they put the pads on and the real work begins. Of course we cover the COVID Cats™ situation and let you know who’s on the reserve list and who has opted out now that opt-outs are finalized. We get into some of the national love that the Lions and the WRs are getting, and we switch gears for a moment to lament the state of sports and particularly football. Tavon Wilson is out, Duron Harmon is in, we tell you what to feel and what it means at that position. We also discuss College Football, the Big 10 shutting down, and what it means to the NFL. Detroit Lions Podcast – Now It’s Getting Good We had a massive equipment upgrade go down over the last week, there were a few glitches along the way (most for the video folks on YouTube), but all in all we’re happy and you’ll be noticing those upgrades over the course of the next few weeks. Also, its finally time to start getting real news. It’s been a tough off-season this year with very little information out there of value to work with. We’re so happy to get back into our DLP groove again as things start moving forward with padded practice and training camp underway for real starting this coming week. Thanks for hanging with us through these few lean news months! Hopefully we kept you entertained in the interim.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case *and* Jeff Risdon for a great show breaking down everything Lions – and there is a ton of breaking news. We only have an hour this week so it’s a pretty “bang bang” show – there’s a lot going on and we’ll need you to keep up. Detroit Lions Podcast – Insert Preseason Here We start off with a walk through The Covid Cats™ list – which is our term for the Detroit Lions Covid Reserve List. There are some additions, some subtractions, and some very interesting news that just broke an hour prior to the show. We’ll go over it all, including reactions from players’ wives and more. Whenever Covid is there, there’s guaranteed to be frustration. We cover the Opt Out List as well, the deadline to sign up, and what it means for the Lions at this point. So far, so good. The Lions Signed Daylan Mack from Baltimore and Chris and Jeff go back and review their Senior Bowl ratings for him while also discussing why he’s free and what to expect from him in Detroit. We also discuss the possibility of re-working the schedule. While the NFL hasn’t been forthcoming with any of their work in this area, we discuss what we would be doing in the background if we were the league. Finally, we give a nod to Jamie Samuelson, a man who was an absolute credit to the Detroit Sports Writer scene. A stand-up guy who was loved by all and taken from us far too quickly. Go get tested folks. For everything, it’s sad that we lose such amazing people so soon. Do everything you can not to be one of them. Hearts, thoughts, and prayers out to Jamie’s family – here’s to hoping they can heal and find peace. Making Your Fantasies Real We’ve launched the sign-up for our annual Fantasy Football Leagues.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined again by Jeff Risdon to fill you in on the start of training camp. This year is different than years past for obvious reasons, so the guys figured it would be best to help everyone understand the new process. We also discuss the NFL Top 100 list, Covid Cats™, Opt Outs, Free Agency, and take you on a quick dash around the division. Detroit Lions Podcast Ready For Football We walk you through The Covid Cats™ list – which is our term for the Detroit Lions Covid Reserve List. We’ll help you understand who is on it, why, what to expect while they’re on it, and what it takes to get off the list. We also discuss how this provides players and clubs some needed flexibility considering the surrounding circumstances. We also talk about who has opted out of the season so far and what that means for both the player and the team. After that we dive into the precautions that are being taken by the Lions under the NFL regulations and the ones they self-prescribed that are above and beyond. The Lions are one of the first 4 teams to have their plan approved by the NFL, and it shows as to why. It’s a well thought out plan that considers a number of factors. From there we get into the NFL Top 100 vote and why the Lions not having anyone listed in the top 100 is a galaxy brain move. The salary cap and spending has become a question for a few people and we go into Bob Quinn’s explanation as to why we aren’t spending like some people believe we should be. Lastly, Riz takes us on a quick jaunt, “Around the Division!” Making Your Fantasies Real We’ve launched the sign-up for our annual Fantasy Football Leagues.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is rejoined by Case for what looks to be our last show before the start of Lions Training Camp. Case finally shook himself free of the shackles of his job and was able to do some podcasting. Always great to have him and his insights. Detroit Lions Podcast Football News We cover a lot of ground in almost an hour and a half of podcasting today. First we take a look at some insider info on college football after Chris was able to glean some info from his Georgia Tech player pal. Small team practices started this week, so keep your eyes open. The ACC should be announcing their plans very shortly, we’ll let you know when we do. Chris decided to give Dean Blandino an unexpected call to get his thoughts on what the refs might look like since there is no preseason. He discussed it in depth on his great podcast, “Good Calls With Dean Blandino”. No matter your thoughts on Dean, he does a great show. Either way, he shares some excellent insight on his thoughts on how the refs might have early trouble without the ability to have a preseason this year. Good stuff. Always fun to give someone a surprise call on the show. We also discuss the conversation that has been happening around a rating that put Bob Quinn at the bottom of the NFL GM barrel. We tend to disagree, but history is written by the victors, so the story has yet to be fully told. Also, Eric Ebron proves that not only can’t catch, but he can’t math either. We have fun at his expense (again) and then ask for callers to share their least favorite Lions of all time. That wound up being pretty fun. By the way, click here for all you’ll ever need when responding to Ebron on Twitter. We also get into an excellent piece that Chris Burke found a great piece by Warren Sharp of Sharp Football discussing a tendency of the Detroit Lions offense in 2019. One that should have been adjusted for, yet wasn’t for 9 games straight. It may have had a hand in the Lions difficulties in finishing out games. We discuss, you get to determine how you feel.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon are back again to help you in these bleak times for Lions news. Between the virus and the “dead season” there isn’t a lot going on – lucky for you we don’t sit on our laurels, we bring you all of the interesting things. We first start by discussing the possibility of the College Football season being delayed until the spring. Conversely, Chris has a neighbor who is playing for Georgia Tech (jersey number 81 this year for those interested) who started training with the team on Monday. There are competing narratives going on, and the reality is probably that they are preparing for two different eventualities. Then, we are joined by Fox2 Detroit Sports Director and voice of the Detroit Lions on the Detroit Lions Radio Network, Dan Miller. We spend 45 minutes with Dan, he takes calls, talks Lions draft, the virus, our amazing cinematic triumph with Dean Blandino, and whatever else crosses our minds. You’ll get to see that Dan’s reputation as one of the very best in Detroit isn’t just about his abilities as a broadcaster or play-by-play person, he is genuinely one of the finest people you’ll ever meet.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon get together with the latest Lions info including the news that the preseason has been cut in half. We also take a look at Darius Slay’s recent comments about the Lions not concealing their defensive secondary intentions. We cover the status of the supplemental draft, and more. Detroit Lions Podcast – Plenty of Lions Content Here Looks like the preseason has been cut in half for the upcoming NFL season. The first and last games of the preseason will be removed from the schedule which leaves the Lions playing the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins. There are a number of considerations as a result – including, how will less preseason football affect the quality of regular season play? How could this affect injuries? We answer these questions and more in our coverage. We also go into listener questions about the ceiling that the defense might have based on the changes and upgrades this offseason, and we also discuss Jahlani Tavai‘s shoulder injury and how things look there. After listener questions we chat about the comments Darius slay recently made in response to Brian Baldinger‘s conversation with Davante Adams of the Green Bay Packers. It likely a lot less to worry about than most information and content-starved writers would want you to think, and we’ll help put context around it. Remember, it pays to keep a level head. Things are rarely as bad (or good) as we are told they are. It’s just more information to add to what we already have.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon break down the latest Lions news including the 47 different angles of new ownership. We also celebrated of our fifth year of incredible, high-brow podcasting. We also discuss the Lions salary cap situation, what it means strategically, and what to expect from the team on a go forward basis. Detroit Lions Podcast – Still Reporting On The Ford Family While we’re sad to see Martha Ford leaving her post as Principal Owner of the Detroit Lions, we are at the same time happy to see Sheila Ford Hamp step up to the position she’s been transitioning into for a while. She has a lot to offer the team and has been quite involved (by all reports) for a while now. We talk about Martha’s time as owner and give her high marks for what she has done to transform the team and its identity. Her time at the helm will be remembered well. We discuss where we would have liked to see Ford Hamp take action upon taking the reins and what she could do in the near future to seal her position and put her stamp on the team. In the end we discuss the effect of the move and share our thoughts on some of the fan feedback that’s been posted in various forums. Locking Down Our Left Guard Jonah Jackson has finally signed his contract and is officially a Detroit Lions player. This is a great pick that will have an impact, so it’s good to lock him down and have the paperwork done. Also, we discuss Training Camp, what it could look like, what to expect, and who is making the decisions.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the news landscape around the Detroit Lions and find the gems to discuss and bring forth. We conduct a Q&A with listeners and even have some fun with a walk around the NFC determining which beer should represent which teams. Detroit Lions Podcast – Last Show Before Our Birthday We’ll be taking next week off, back on June 24th, but the following week will be our 5th Anniversary as a podcast. We’ll have a bit of a celebration and the Lions news will start flowing as the world starts opening up.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Case, and Jeff Risdon bring you the latest Lions news and insights in our inimitable style. This episode is full of insights and the use of big words. This is Case’s fault directly after he dropped our new favorite word, ‘obfusticate’. We cover the NFL’s rule changes, Jamaal Agnew’s position switch, Kenny Golladay’s PFF love and more – including a new “ride the fence” drop for Case. Detroit Lions Podcast – It’s really your best bet Do you remember the 10 second run-off in the Atlanta game? Unfortunately, we all do. Case makes the case that it likely wasn’t as impactful as people think. Chris makes the case that Case is an unmitigated ass. Can you tell that Chris wrote the show notes this time? Either way, Chris is right. We also talk about Frank Ragnow and Taylor Decker and what they mean to the Lions line and what the influences on Decker’s contract are. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of the podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Detroit Lions biggest news of the week. We take a look at the Lions 2020 schedule, speculate about whether Case could buy Matthew Stafford’s house, and talk a little Nate Burleson.

Detroit Lions Podcast – The Only Thing You Should Put In Your Ears First we want to thank all of our listeners for giving us a week off. It’s the first week that Chris has had off in a long time – he needed it! It was great to come back and cover ground that we missed in that time. Chris and Case talk a little bit about the team and how far it’s come under Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn. How the culture seems to have finally rounded the corner and changed in their favor. They also discuss how it seems that this is the first year that the GM and Coach appear to have all of “their” guys in place. This is definitely not a team to sleep on. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by the inimitable Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to get Riz’s take on the Lions draft performance. We also discuss the Lions UDFA pool and some of the amazing signings Bob Quinn pulled off to put this team together. We pay particular attention to Julian Okwara, Jonah Jackson, Logan Stenberg, Jason Huntley, and John Penisini from the draft. We follow that up with a deep dive on Hunter Bryant from the UDFA pool – a guy Riz thinks could end up our number two tight end. From there, we do a pass around the division and give our initial thoughts on how the rest of the NFC North performed in the 2020 NFL Draft. Detroit Lions Podcast – Safer In Your Ears Now that we’ve recovered from the draft party, it’s a good time to re-energize and step back to look at what just happened in the colder light of day. This episode does just that and Riz does a great job of bringing reality to the party. In this case, reality is a good place to be.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down the results of the Detroit Lions 2020 NFL Draft. Bob Quinn likely had his best draft ever as General Manager of the Detroit Lions. There were points where we were dumbfounded by his moves – but only because he was picking up talent in places we totally didn’t expect. Mr. Quinn did an excellent job of finding the best players available to fill key areas of need. We think that’s what made this draft so darn good for the Lions. While unlikely, it is possible that every player the Lions drafted could play this year – that’s a great draft. We even think there’s a UDFA who is almost guaranteed a roster position. Well done, Mr. Quinn. Very well done. Detroit Lions Podcast Live NFL Draft Party – Coming to your Podcast Feed This year’s NFL Draft Party live stream was a smashing success. We had an absolute riot doing it, and the feedback has been nothing short of excellent. We’ll make those shoes available via the podcast feed over the next few days.

They also discuss why it sucks to be Bob Quinn this year and what the Buccaneers look like after picking up Rob Gronkowski. What might it take to have OJ Howard in the Lions future, and what type of effect could he have on the team? We cover that and take your calls on the episode that is your bridge to the 2020 NFL Draft. Detroit Lions Podcast Live NFL Draft Party Stream Yes, it’s true.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and they discuss all the Lions and NFL news of the week including the many angles of Tua Tagovailoa, the possible demise of the XFL, and Chris’s deep draft crush. Detroit Lions Podcast Still Kicking It Live Another live stream broadcast, but this time without taking phone calls, the guys discuss the many ways in which Tua Tagovailoa could impact the Lions draft strategy and the draft overall. Everything Lions draft depends on who pulls the trade trigger on a quarterback, we dive into who might be ready to make that move, and why. We also talk about how the trade frenzy might put the Lions in the catbird seat and the limit to what they’d give up. After all, trading down too far could spell the end of the current regime. From there we dig into Chris’s later round draft crush KJ Hill. Chris put together a video of the footage he shot of KJ at the Senior Bowl, and it’s well worth your time. KJ will sparkle as a slot receiver in the NFL – whoever gets him will be very happy with their selection. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are joined by Jeff Risdon, Scott Bischoff, and Erik Schlitt to come to a consensus on the first 35 picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. Do the Lions trade down? Is it Chase Young, Jeffrey Okudah, Isaiah Simmons, or some other surprise? Detroit Lions Podcast Brings The 2020 Draft Alive We’ve put together the best and brightest minds in the Detroit Lions space to come together on a consensus 2020 NFL mock draft. We work through each pick and force each host to justify their selection and argue for their pick until the group comes to an agreement. In this exercise, a majority must approve trades, and they must be realistic. Chris plays the role of moderator and holds the deciding vote in case of a tie. We break down every trade, it’s ins and outs, and justify them with realistic values. There is no better way to dive into the 2020 NFL Draft. We’ll break down the thinking behind each pick as well as why certain choices do or don’t make sense. Jeff, Scott, Eric, and Case bring their ‘A’ game and don’t cut corners on this effort. There are big discussions all the way through pick #35 (the Lions second round pick). If you want to learn, this podcast will fill you with tons of information. If you are super into draft research, this will help you think through your positions and present a number of counter arguments. An opportunity to validate or re-evaluate your thinking is a golden one. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by WJR Radio Podcast co-host Scott Bischoff to break down the latest and greatest Lions news. Detroit Lions Podcast Kills The Jarrad Davis Trade Rumor Chris and Scott shut down the trade talk around Jarrad Davis shortly after Lions GM Bob Quinn quickly reacted to those rumors the same way. Evidently being cooped up inside is driving some members of the media a little loopy and they’re making things up out of whole cloth. We also discuss Sam Martin’s move to join Jeff Driskel at the Denver Broncos. Add a punter to the Lions list of needs. Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly are two of the most generous people in Detroit and we discuss just how great having them in our lives really is. We also talk about the inevitable place in the future when we have to move on from Matthew and how difficult it’s going to be. There’s also the whole free agency, trade, and Darius Slay thing to discuss. We cover it all with Scott’s special angles and insights. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case and Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to break down the latest Detroit Lions Free Agency moves. We weigh in on Darius Slay’s recent comments, and talk about a shift to 4-3 defense while taking calls. Detroit Lions Podcast Gets Slayed By Darius Slay Literally 2 hours after our last show in which we praised Darius Slay’s maturity, he proved us wrong. Slay opened up about a situation early in his relationship with Coach Patricia in which Coach used some profanity. Slay took it very personally, when it was likely meant differently. After that, Slay harbored his anger for at least two years before letting loose on the radio and taking a few shots at Coach Patricia on the way out the door. Effectively, he set the place on fire as he left. Obviously nothing good could come of Slay’s comments, but here we are. The Detroit Lions Podcast also discusses Free Agency signings, the possibility of moving to a 4-3 defense, and take your calls! Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to break down the first 24 hours in the Detroit Lions Free Agency moves. Interesting pick-ups, trades, drops, and more. This Free Agency brings a little taste of everything for Bob Quinn’s Detroit Lions. Detroit Lions Podcast Analyzes Each Player We take an in-depth look at each player, including a Risdon favorite, Chase Daniel. We bring the broad information you are looking for on OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai and his 5-year $45 million deal. Chris blows the doubters away by pronouncing “Big V’s” name correctly every time… Jamie Collins was a huge signing at LB and with the addition of Duron Harmon, lovers of Isaiah Simmons are going to have to adjust to him landing elsewhere in the draft. We discuss the pickup of Desmond Trufant, and how he makes a top-tier #2 cornerback. The team also landed Danny Shelton, Nick Williams, Jayron Kearse and we discuss each. It looks like Bob Quinn has set this team up for picking an Ohio State defensive player in round 1 of this year’s NFL Draft. On the other side of the equation, the biggest news is that the Lions traded Darius Slay away. In the end it’s better that he’s no longer a Detroit Lion – see all the recent news about him. From there, we discuss Graham Glasgow, Jeff Driskel (both to the Broncos). J.D. McKissic and Logan Thomas heading to Washington, and A’Shawn Robinson heading to the Rams. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case make the last stop ahead of Free Agency for the Detroit Lions. The boys take a look at a glaring non-signing in Graham Glasgow. Why might this be the case? What have we heard and why might this be happening to a really good player? Also, Chris and Case discuss the most overpaid player going into 2020 free agency. Where are we with him, and what do we expect this year? We’ve got you covered with answers to those questions and more. Detroit Lions Podcast Analyzes Free Agency We take a good dive into free agency with hard looks at Chris Harris and Andrew Billings amongst others. The Podcast might get one more look in before the free agency period begins, time will tell. From there we slide into an unfortunate season ticket situation that a fan posted in the subreddit.

In this week’s episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Jeff “The Riz” Risdon joins Chris. Jeff brings us the full wrap on the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. We discuss who increased their stock, and who damaged theirs, and we do it on a position by position basis. Isaiah Simmons, Denzel Mims, Derrick Brown, Chase Young, and Jeffery Okudah are all covered here. There’s also thinking around who the Lions might be looking closely at for their draft. We’ll do the double click on that for you to keep you in the know. From there we break down what the results of the combine might mean for the Detroit Lions in free agency.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case get together again to bring you the latest Lions news, and this week we take a harder look at fake news. This is a somewhat shortened episode due to Chris and Case traveling this week. Worry not, we have more of these quick takes coming your way this week. Detroit Lions Podcast Says, “No” Matthew Stafford wanting to be traded? Please. How dumb do they think Lions fans are? Evidently we have our share of them. Right after we recorded, Kelly Stafford came out on her Instagram and clearly stated that they aren’t going anywhere. We also cover what a Detroit rebuild would look like. Down to how the organization would undertake such an operation. Again, its not happening barring a massive tragedy, and we don’t see that coming. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case get together to bring you the latest Detroit Lions news, particularly about the Detroit Lions organization’s options with cornerback Darius Slay. There are a number of options, but this is a case where the Lions hold most of the cards. How this plays out will be interesting, and we’ll both walk you through the options, and take calls as we work through the possibilities. We also talk Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and the effect of the CBA signed 10 years ago on the Detroit Lions. Case brings back a third of the ‘Around The Division’ segment, and it’s probably worth noting that we are joined by Jeff Risdon to interview former Detroit Lions head coach Wayne Fontes. Yes, Coach Wayne Fontes. Coach Fontes Coach Fontes gives us surprising insight into what it was like to coach a player like Barry Sanders. He also discusses his relationship with the Ford family and debunks any idea that there might be a rift. He waxes poetic about the men that played for him, and reinforces the idea that Coach Fontes deserved his players’ support. Chris Spielman, Kevin Glover, so many great players come up in the conversation… If you only listen to a single episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, this is the one. Coach Fontes deserves your time.

We walk you through scenarios related to the number 3 overall pick in the NFL draft. There are five likely scenarios today and we walk through each of them.

If you haven’t watched yet, get in here, the XFL is for real and in for the long haul. The guys also discuss the article from PFF stating that the Lions have the best chance in the NFL to go from worst to first in their division. This is something Chris has been talking about for weeks, it’s good to see some validation for his thinking.

It’s a big show, so buckle up! Detroit Lions Podcast Cleans Up Senior Bowl Week What a week. Chris, the Riz, and Sandman spent their non-practice time on Radio Row at the Senior Bowl interviewing a number of key people. Lions WR Coach Robert Prince, John Pollard of Zebra Technologies, and a whole lot more. We put the final nail in the coffin for the narrative about the Lions running poor practices. We also discuss the fact that we finally put our first post on Instagram, and it’s a gem. Richard Sherman? Revisionist history. We cover it. Hockenson and Gonzalez? We got that covered for you too. Free agency? Case goes HAM on that one in his “Deep Dive into the Shallow End”. We dig in on Draft trade down scenarios as well. The Detroit Lions Podcast also discusses breaking news that Tyrone McKenzie may have in fact left the Titans and be headed to the Lions as a LB coach. This is a really good thing for the Lions. Lastly, we have a great piece that Sandman and Chris put together for Jeff Risdon after he had a really tough week, it features Hue Jackson – well worth your time. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is once again joined by his old friend Case. Some might remember him fondly as the co-host of the show. Case comes back strong to make up for his absence by conducting our first dive into Free Agency. We call it, “a deep dive into the shallow end with Case”. He does a good job walking through the positions and helping folks start their thinking about where the Lions might be heading. Of course Free Agency moves will help dictate what happens in the draft. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Defensive Coordinator and Quarterback Coach First, some really good news. It looks like Quarterback Coach Sean Ryan will remain with the team. This is great news. He’s a hot commodity in the NFL and sure to find a nice promotion next year. Having him in Detroit doing the things that make him so great is a huge benefit for the Lions. The news that made more headlines is the hiring of new Defensive Coordinator, Cory Undlin from the Eagles. Responses have been all over the board and speculation has been widespread about what it means. We take a look at some data and wind up with a more measured response to the hire. We follow up with some great social media posts (Reddit and Twitter) that we wanted to use to showcase the great stuff that people are putting together. Cory Undlin has a lot to offer and could wind up being a masterful choice. My expectation is that we will end up feeling as good about the Cory Undlin hire as we do about Darrell Bevell. We then go into the Senior Bowl and start sharing some of the great stuff we’ll have for you from Mobile. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and enable notifications to see some of the best interviews and coverage you’ll see all week.

Check out the YouTube channel if you want a peek. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Draft Last There’s a lot to talk about, and a lot of decisions for the Lions ahead of the draft. We decided to cover some of the more pressing topics first. Don’t worry, we’ll give you a good heaping dose of Lions 2020 NFL Draft strategy. In the last portion of the show. First, Chris takes a rare “I told you so” moment to recount how he predicted Paul Pasqualoni’s departure would go. Of course that leads to a discussion about the Lions strategy around who they want as Defensive Coordinator. Chris asks why everyone thinks that Matt Patricia wants to run the defense. He brings great points about what Patricia might be looking for and why it could be different than the hive mind thinks. This hire will reveal a lot about the Lions organization and the direction the team will head for the 2020 season. We also look at the rest of the coaching staff, including the possibility of the Lions losing Sean Ryan. The Detroit Lions Podcast also happily announces the promotion of Hank Fraley. He’ll be coaching the offensive line going forward which is a good step for him and the Lions. We sneak in some big news about the Detroit Lions Podcast garnering a spot on Radio Row at the 2020 Senior Bowl. This means we’ll be conducting a number of player and coaching staff interviews throughout the week. You won’t want to miss any of this, get subscribed to our YouTube channel.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris pulls out all the stops and brings you the show on his own. Chris flies solo to wrap up our post game coverage of the Detroit Lions 2019 season. It’s just Chris and the callers, discussing another near miss, this time against the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field. We also look ahead to the offseason and begin to share some of our plans on what’s ahead for the show. Detroit Lions Podcast Closing The Books On 2019 This was a game where across the board fans seemed ready to lose at the outset. After all there were draft picks at stake. There was a lot to gain by losing. By halftime, folks were ready to join the Lions players and coaches in celebrating a win over the Packers. Instead we lost our second game of the season to Green Bay. A most interesting stat, the Lions lost 2 games to them this season and were behind for exactly zero seconds total. It’s always something in this series. It feels like there can’t be other ways to be on the short end of this match-up. Longtime fans know that of course there are. Chris takes your calls to the Detroit Lions Podcast throughout the show. We work through what we saw from the team this year and where we need to go. We also discuss what we should expect in the offseason. From there we start letting folks know about our plans for the Shrine Game, Senior Bowl, and Combine coverage for 2020. There’s more to come, but we want folks to consume everything in digestible bites. It’s going to be a lot.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff “The Riz” Risdon are together again to discuss the latest breaking Detroit Lions news. It was a busy news day for the team, so we go in hot. Detroit Lions Podcast Weighs In First News broke today about a small presser held by Martha Ford in which she announce the continuation of the Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia regime for the 2020 season. She spoke to the need for some new assistants and the need to be a playoff contender. We dive into what this means for the team and evaluate the decision. We also discuss how this situation might affect the actions of Quinn and Patricia going forward. What it bodes for the team and what to look forward for the rest of the season. In other breaking news, Mrs. Ford and her daughter Sheila made it clear that the team is not for sale. Not to Jeff Bezos, not to anyone. The Detroit Lions Podcast discusses how important it was for Sheila Ford Hamp to step forward and make a statement. There was a message sent in that action, and we discuss what the message behind the message was. We cover the Lions injury report, take our first peek at the draft, and even take some of your phone calls. One of our favorite topics makes its first appearance for 2020, HBO’s “Hard Knocks”. We discuss the possibility of them coming to Detroit next year and why it might be more likely than folks think. The Pro Bowl announcements were made, and we discuss the Lions situation. Frank Ragnow snubbed, Darius Slay in, and Matthew Stafford and Kenny Golladay as alternates. Finally, we look ahead to the game against the Denver Broncos. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are together again to share the latest news and opinion on the Detroit Lions. The team is in an interesting position. Rather than just lament the team’s woes, we take a look at what this team needs to improve. This episode is going to set up a number of offseason conversations and help people start looking at options to get better. We also go in-depth on what a team in the Lions position should do with their remaining games. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Tampa Bay Buccaneers We also spend some time talking about the upcoming game against the Bucs, not to give it away, but we feel like it’s a game that’s going to come down to defense. More specifically, how each team’s offense wears out their defense by not being on the field. It’s a good discussion and should help prep folks for what’s to come. We also take a sneak peek at the draft, free agency, and the salary cap situation. These all feed into what might be the grander strategy about building this team. The Detroit Lions Podcast also takes a look at Taylor Decker and Frank Ragnow and their production this year. Both may be doing much better than you think. A couple of bright spots on a team that really needs them. We also cover Fantasy Football and laugh at Chris’s over-reaction to the idea that the Lions haven’t truly replaced Calvin Johnson since he retired. Good job, /u/CalvinGolladay – you got him good.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by YouTube Slowlights hero, Andy “Sandman” Morse for a tough show about the Detroit Lions to the Minnesota Vikings. As always we take your calls, and this week the callers bring a lot to the show. Don’t miss Ken’s call at the end – you might think the show is ending, but don’t tune out, you’d be all wrong to miss that call. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks About The Late Season Preseason This was finally a game where everyone seemed ready to accept that the team that we were putting on the field wasn’t healthy enough to compete against one of the better teams in the NFL. While it always stinks to lose to a division rival, this one didn’t hurt quite as much as they have recently. We’ve decided that the 2019 season is the Lions opportunity to take stock of the team and assess who their mid and lower tier players are. “Live fire” exercises are so much more telling than watching guys in shorts. We also discuss a little bit about Lions fandom and what motivates people to watch a team that is likely to continue doing poorly this year. Chris tells a funny story about escalation of commitment, and more. We don’t excuse the team or its leadership, but we make talking about the Lions a lot more fun than anyone else. There’s something good for the soul in that… Don’t Miss Us On YouTube If you prefer the video version of the podcast, check out the Detroit Lions Podcast YouTube Channel here.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are back together again to take a heartfelt look at the situation in Allen Park and try to help folks come to an understanding of what exactly we are looking at. There has been a convergence of many things to hit the team this year. We’re here to try and help Detroit Lions fans make sense of it all. We also review the Redskins game and what we can learn from that. From there, we revisit the Matthew Stafford situation and think about what the rest of the year holds for him. From there, we spend some time discussing what the rest of the year might look like for this team. Additionally, we try to help set expectations and give you some things to look for. Lastly, we look ahead to the game against Chicago in the annual Thanksgiving game. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Chicago Bears Before we get into the Bears, we have to take a brief stop on the Washington Redskins express. What a gut punch. A completely unexpected outcome presented itself to a Lions fan base that were looking for something, anything, to hang their hat on. It didn’t come in Washington at the Redskins expense. Now the Lions face a short week ahead of the Thanksgiving Day game against the Chicago Bears. The Detroit Lions Podcast takes some time to talk about where the team, the fans, and the coaching staff are today. We take a look at who else has been in similar circumstances, and we lament the loss of another year of possibility for our favorite football team. Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn focus heavily in this conversation, and rightfully so. Do they deserve all that they are getting right now? Not all of it. We’ll help sort wheat and chaff here. We also spend some time looking at what to look for from the team for the remainder of the year. There is a lot still to do, even if a playoff run isn’t part of that plan. It has nothing to do with playing for “pride” either. Finally we look ahead to the game against the Chicago Bears. The key thing is not to take the game too seriously this year. Don’t let the game ruin your Thanksgiving. Instead, have a robust discussion about politics with your uncle Eddie. That way you can still go home with the traditional heartburn, but it won’t be caused by your favorite football team this time! Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Managing Editor of LionsWire.com Jeff Risdon. Together they break down the latest Lions news and look at the team in ways you never imagined. Of course they start out by discussing the game against the Dallas Cowboys. Of course they share the tale of the great suite experience at Ford Field provided by Sandman. There’s even video documentation of the fun. From there we discuss Jarrad Davis’s improved performance this week, and take on the subject of how far away the wins are. We also contemplate what it might mean to sit Matthew Stafford for the remainder of the year. Lastly, we take a look ahead to the game against the Washington Redskins. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Dallas Cowboys The Detroit Lions stumbled against the Dallas Cowboys. In a game where the Lions (by all accounts) should have been blown out, the Detroit Lions second string played to within a single score in their loss. Fans started the game expecting a spanking, and wound up frustrated by a team that lost the game by a single score. Fans were surprised by backup quarterback Jeff Driskel’s performance in this game and we’ve decided we’re ready for some Driskmagic against the Washington Redskins. We also look at Jarrad Davis’s turnaround in this game and talk about why he might just pop again next week. Then the boys ask the question, “how far away are the wins?” It’s a great conversation about many aspects of the team that folks need to contemplate as they assess their favorite football team. Finally we look ahead to the game against the Redskins on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Riz didn’t say it out loud, but he is sticking to his 5-win season prediction as we walk through the remainder of the schedule. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Managing Editor of LionsWire.com Jeff Risdon. Together they break down the latest Lions news and look at the team in ways you never imagined. Of course they start out by announcing the winner of the Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys suite contest. They announce the winner for the Peter von Panda Sega retro gaming system. They discuss the Lions loss against the Chicago Bears, and players we may not see in 2020 in Detroit. We have a grand conversation about what the plan is in Detroit. What is the front office after, and where are they going? Matthew Stafford and his ailments become a topic of conversation, and we look ahead to the Dallas Cowboys. There’s still more from there. Chris and Riz on a roll, the best Lions content anywhere… Detroit Lions Podcast Dallas Cowboys Preview The Detroit Lions stumbled against the Chicago Bears last week. A surprise start by Jeff Driskel and a Matthew Stafford injury set the tone for the day. We discuss how well Driskel played (you may be surprised) and how close the Lions came to winning. Later in the show, we move the look forward to how the team may do against the Dallas Cowboys. There are a number of key pieces of the Lions puzzle to discuss, and we bring them to the fore. Who might not be on the team in 2020? What is the plan? What the heck is Bob Quinn doing? Matt Patricia? Is everything on fire, or going according to plan? The Detroit Lions Podcast takes a step back and helps you take a look at the big picture. We also squeeze a look at Matthew Stafford in with a conversation about Riz’s trip to his orthopedist. We cover these topics and all types of things in between in this week’s show – it’s a masterpiece. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by YouTube Slowlights hero, Andy “Sandman” Morse for a tough show about the Detroit Lions loss to the Chicago Bears. We also take your calls – and a one in particular asks about what has become of this Lions team. This was a game the Lions were expected to win, again. With late notice that Matthew Stafford wouldn’t play Jeff Driskel did his best to keep the Lions in the game until the very end. Detroit Lions Podcast Laments Lions Injuries Chris woke to the news of Matthew Stafford being out for today’s game and really wanted to go back to bed. This Lions team is built upon the idea that the offense will score enough point to win games. The entire team has been place upon Matthew Stafford’s shoulders. With an injury there, the Lions are in big trouble. Jeff Driskel did an admirable job leading the team on late notice, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the hapless Chicago Bears. The Lions basically populated the field with second stringers today. The team is made of critical injuries and walking wounded amongst its star players right now. The produce on the field showed just how bad things are. With this loss, it’s time to write off the Lions playoff hopes for the season, but there are a number of things this team can still accomplish.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case discuss the latest Lions news, look ahead to the Chicago Bears, and bring out the details of a killer new contest. Get ready to win tickets to join Chris and Sandman in a suite for the Detroit Lions game against the Dallas Cowboys game. Detroit Lions Chicago Bears Preview The Detroit Lions stumbled against the Oakland Raiders last week, but this week presents a different opportunity. The Lions are facing a Chicago Bears team lead by the comically bad Mitch Trubisky. If ever there was a Lions and Bears game that the Lions should win – this is it. While the Bears have a solid defense. The rest of the team is limited by their quarterback. Remember the Bears hilariously traded a ton of draft capital to draft Mitch Trubisky over Patrick Mahomes. Chris and Case take a good look at the game and tell you what to expect. The boys also take a look at the playoff picture for the Lions. The game isn’t over yet, but there’s an uphill battle to get there. In this episode we review the team’s performance so far and compare this year vs. last. We also take a look at how the Lions have performed against common opponents in relation to their NFC North rivals. Interesting information, and good perspective on the team for folks who are feeling down right now. Big Contest For Patreon Subscribers!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by YouTube Slowlights hero, Andy “Sandman” Morse for a tough show about the Detroit Lions loss to the Oakland Raiders. We also take your calls – and a number of them about what has become of this Lions team. In a game that lived up to its “shootout” billing, the Lions defense couldn’t get the stops they needed to outscore the Raiders. Detroit Lions Podcast Laments Opportunities Lost On a day when the rest of the NFC lost, the Lions proved again that they can’t seize the opportunity. Much like the game against the Green Bay Packers, the Lions couldn’t seal a win that was within their grasp. A win that would have changed the calculus on the season. This is a problem that has plagued this franchise for years, and Chris finds it absolutely inexplicable. The phone calls this week represent a disappointed fan base, and rightfully so. Chris reminds listeners that while the wins aren’t there, this team has been in every game until the very end this year – except one. It is an improvement over last year, just not as much as we wanted from this team. Things are getting to a point where folks need those W’s to believe – and Coach Patricia and Bob Quinn need to start delivering.

Detroit Lions Podcast Dallas Cowboys Preview Lions came out with a win against the New York Giants last week, this week is another ball of wax.

It’s likely they’ll be attacking the Lions linebackers this game, the Lions front seven are going to need to play a great game to get this win. Chris and Sandman also have a great conversation about the Arizona Cardinals rebuild. How well they played against the San Francisco 49ers, and how their GM is faring. That leads us to make some comparisons and evaluate the Lions’ progress on the development front. Big Contest For Patreon Subscribers!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Detroit Lions subreddit moderator, Punk Rawkin’ Trev. We fire the studio up discuss the Lions home win over the New York Giants and take your calls. This was a game the Lions were expected to win, though the New York Giants were able to field their entire offense for the first time this season. That offense included Lions fan favorite Golden Tate – he definitely gets some talk time. This was a solid win for the Lions, but it still left fans with some questions. Detroit Lions Podcast Calls This A Foundational Win Even though the Lions were projected to win, Lions fans know every game has its opportunities for disappointment. The Giants were able to make it seem like a game during garbage time when they came within 5 points of the Lions. They chose the inevitable onside kick, but luckily the Lions played it perfectly and the ball rolled out of bounds. Nothing like ending the game in the victory formation. This win brings the Lions record to 3-3-1 with a number of winnable games ahead. In a return to our happy place, The Detroit Lions Podcast doesn’t need to provide a therapy session after this week’s game! There are still plenty of things to take away from this game that the team needs to work on, but for the most part, the team quieted doubters in the short term. As is always the case, we take your calls and discuss the team’s performance in today’s game. We are also asked to think about the team in a broader perspective by a few callers – well worth the listen. It’s a big show, with a lot to discuss, and the next few games will define this team.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case look at the most important Detroit Lions news of the week. They are also joined by Jeff Risdon to discuss the shocking Quandre Diggs trade and a whole lot more. There is a lot to discuss this week as the Lions look ahead to the New York Giants and we’ve got it all right here for you. Detroit Lions Podcast Vikings Review Last Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings wasn’t the game Lions fans were looking for. The defense was terrible. It wasn’t a few plays, players, or even a few positions. The Lions defense was across the board terrible last Sunday. From coaching to technique, there was very little that went right for these Lions. This leaves us a lot to talk about. It may have even been the final straw in the team trading Quandre Diggs to the Seattle Seahawks. Diggs was a player loved by both fans and players alike. Hearing the news of his trade was heartbreaking for many, and the move left many fans inconsolable. Even Darius Slay seemed to be having a hard time with the trade. There could be a number of things at play here, and we’re certain that there was more to the story that we’ve heard so far. Jeff Risdon brings some insider info to the Detroit Lions Podcast and helps us dissect the move.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case (of all people) to discuss the Lions home loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Another game in which the Lions were projected to lose, they proved the prognosticators correct. This time they have no one to blame but themselves. It wasn’t the officials, bad luck, or anything else. Almost as if a giant karmic ‘F-you’ to the Lions after they had us thinking they were a good call or good bounce away from winning. The team is playing better than they did last year. It’s just that they aren’t pulling in the wins, and games like this make people believe they are just hapless. Detroit Lions Podcast – Down On The Defense! This is the first loss of the season that really took hope away from fans based on the team’s actual performance. Was this week’s performance an anomaly, or is this really the Lions team we will be watching for the remainder of the year? It’s not time to give up, but we now know just how bad this defense can be. The next few weeks will tell us what we really have here. As always after a loss, The Detroit Lions Podcast provides the therapy session Lions fans need. We take your calls and discuss the team’s in today’s game. There is a ton to discuss here, but we believe that good teams have bad games – we just need to see what comes next. Big show, lots to talk about, and the next few games will define this team.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Fox Sports Rules Analyst Dean Blandino. After this week’s officiating debacle in Green Bay, Lions fans have a lot of questions and need answers. We take your calls and questions to help shed light on what happened. We also talk about what needs to be fixed and how to affect the situation as fans. Detroit Lions Podcast Finds The Tattle Tale Had you heard the news that David Bakhtiari did some tattling (his words) on Trey Flowers which resulted in two terrible penalty calls? As a result we also spend a bit of time discussing how players chirping at officials may affect their calls on the field. Dean also explains the review process works for evaluating officials. Every play, grading, demotions, drug tests, and even firings. Dean also opens up about the one thing he would have changed if he went back in time to his job with the NFL. He opens up with a really interesting answer that is worth the price of admission on its own. Chris’s answer on the other hand, not so interesting.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to discuss the latest Lions game against the Green Bay Packers. The Lions came out spitting, and once the refs got their footing they were able to tilt the playing field to provide the opportunities the Green Bay Packers needed to pull out a last second victory. There is a ton to unpack from this game, crazy plays, horrific officiating, and a question mark about the league as a whole. We take your calls and talk through these topics and a whole lot more. Detroit Lions Podcast Demands Change The talk of the day Tuesday was the epic failure of the officials in the Monday Night Football game. This should never happen to another team. You couldn’t even see the chess match that is coaching strategy. Success of effort on the field – immolated. It was all overshadowed by terrible officiating. A third, supposedly uninvolved party, changed the game. They’ve done so for countless NFL teams. The Lions have had their share of bad calls, but we don’t corner the market. It’s time to take action. Our best bet as fans is to engage the players and make this a part of the CBA negotiation. Its where we have a shot at the real money, which is all that matters to the NFL. The players are the only people with power against the NFL – we need to engage them. Players can improve their careers, safety, and bonuses and force the league to change the way officiating is handled. Fans can finally force the owners to provide a product they can believe in.

A game in which the Lions control their destiny. The type of game that the Lions have historically had a difficult time with. We’ll get you ready. We also provide a progress report on Matthew Stafford’s career thus far and how he measures against some of the greats. We’ll briefly touch on fantasy, and we bring you an early Lions injury report. Lastly, Case takes us on an in-depth walk ‘Around The Division’.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Dean Blandino to discuss the most recent week’s Lions officiating controversy. This game presented a number of opportunities to look at officiating, why specific calls were made, and why others weren’t. Dean also takes your calls and answers your questions directly. Eventually, Chris has to ask the question that all of the keyboard warriors were afraid to ask. Detroit Lions Podcast Is Official This game against the Kansas City Chiefs was a thriller. You could tell the Lions have turned a corner as a team and the future is bright in Detroit. Unfortunately, the team had to play through a number of calls that didn’t necessarily go the teams’ way. Previous Lions teams might have folded and ended the game in a hopeless loss. This Lions team was in it to the very last play. While the scoreboard didn’t show the score Lions fans hoped for, the team showed that they are made of something much different than before. This is the stuff that competitors are made of. It might be just the stuff winners are made of. Dean talks about the points of the officiating in the game that fans have an issue with and tells us where good calls were made (and why) as well as where officiating mistakes were made. We also take a broader look at the rules of the game and discuss changes we’d like to see there. Lastly, we open the calls to the fans and allow folks to directly ask Dean what’s been on their mind about anything at all. Where Are You Tough Guys? In the end, the keyboard warriors were afraid to call, so Chris asked the question that all the tough guys wanted to know about. Dean goes into the infamous ‘Party Bus’ situation and explains how it all went down, who was involved (nope, no hookers or blow), and the significant issue of the timeline. It’s a good conversation overall, and Lions fans can take a lot away from this. If you prefer the video version of the podcast, check out the Detroit Lions Podcast YouTube Channel here.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Ash Thompson to discuss the Lions home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. In another game in which the Lions were projected to lose, the Lions took the Chiefs to the last play of the game. The national conversation about the Lions will certainly change for the better after this showing. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to take away a win. The good news is that this was still a statement game in which the Lions showed they could play on the same level as a Super Bowl contender. We’re here to help you understand the perspective. Detroit Lions Podcast Calls Out A Culture Change This team has never had a loss that gave the fan base so much hope. The team played for a full 60 minutes and showed that they can not only hang with the best the NFL has to offer, but could even beat them. In the Fox pregame show, Michael Strahan predicted the Chiefs by 14 points. After this game, his tune about the Lions is going to have to change. The entire conversation about the Lions will change at the national level. This team has shown that it can play big boy football, and they put the NFC North on notice today. We take your calls and discuss the role of the officials in today’s game. There is a ton of opportunity for controversy here, but we believe that good teams overcome the officials’ impact today. Chris has never seen a fan base happier after a loss than those he spoke with today. The optimism is well founded. Big show, lots to talk about, and a fine way to head into the bye.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kx3h41FL2A Detroit Lions Podcast Quick Takes This week on Quick Takes, Chris and Jeff slide back into the broadcast chairs and discuss the Lions recent game against the Philadelphia Eagles. We also ponder the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and take your questions. Your calls and questions from the Patreon Slack chat make up a good bit of content this week as well as discussion on why the Lions aren’t going to pick up Jalen Ramsey (so stop asking). The Detroit Lions Podcast definitely didn’t hold true to the show’s name, with over an hour of content, these takes are anything but quick. Suffice it to say, they are just what you need to get ready for this week’s game against the Chiefs. We’ll let you know why its winnable, and hoe the Lions might hope to pull off the win. If they do, this could be bigger than last years’ victory against the New England Patriots. Great topics this week with Chris and the Riz, but the best part is taking your calls and questions. We’re looking to start doing this on the regular again this year, so keep your eyes and/or ears peeled for our Quick Takes.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Sandman to discuss the Lions big win over the Philadelphia Eagles. After another game in which the Lions were projected to lose, they powered through and came out undefeated in the end. No one expected this Lions team to be in this position after three games. The most optimistic predictions had the team at 1-2. There is a lot to unpack from this performance, and we’re here to help you put things in perspective. Detroit Lions Podcast Screams Undefeated! A team that has been an underdog ever since week one has shown determination and grit beyond expectations. This is a different organization and definitely not the “Same Old Lions”. It’s about time fans realize this and take the time to enjoy the good football they deserve. The Detroit Lions Podcast spends a good deal of time breaking this down and helping Lions fans understand what to take away from this game. We also take a look ahead at the Kansas City Chiefs match-up next week and start thinking about how that game could be a win, even if the scoreboard shows an ‘L’ after the game.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Lions news after the nerve wracking win over the Chargers. Very few thought that this team would be undefeated after two games this season, and we tell you why the trend could continue. We take a look at the Lions Defense, Special Teams, the offense (and the offensive line in particular). We discuss some late breaking roster changes, take a look ahead at the Eagles, and go Around the Division. Detroit Lions Podcast Victory Party! First things first, we discuss the Lions victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. It was a messy game, but there is a lot of good to take away from it. Most importantly, the Detroit Lions came away victorious and surprised a lot of fans who were still stunned from the previous week’s tie. We also admit our surprise at Jamal Agnew remaining on the team at this point. Something more than Amendola taking reps has to change, and we expect to see some more J.D. McKissic on the field. When news breaks, we cover it. We react to the CJ Anderson cut and Paul Perkins pickup as well as what it might mean to the team. There are a few nice little insider nuggets in this conversation too… From there the Detroit Lions Podcast discusses Matthew Stafford and his interceptions in the last game. There have been a number of discussions about them and we want to be sure to bring some context and sanity to the discussion. This leads us to a discussion about the offensive scheme and an early report card on Darrell Bevell with a comparison to Jim Bob Cooter’s portfolio of work. We take a moment to discuss the tight end situation in Detroit. This is a story of riches and not a cautionary tale. It’s so nice to finally see great tight ends in Detroit again. Comparing NFC North Quarterbacks And Including Eli Manning Next the Detroit Lions Podcast goes over the current rankings of the NFC North quarterbacks with the New York Giants backup quarterback included. We take a few moments to delve into the predictions for the upcoming Eagles game. For the second week in a row, it may be a heck of a lot more winnable than we thought even 3 weeks ago. We also take you around the division to look at our competition and to ascertain where we might stand after the second week of football.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Ash Thompson to discuss the Lions incredible home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Lions were projected to lose this one, instead the Lions stood tall. There were far too many penalties from both teams with the Lions leading to spending the majority of the second half playing from behind. True to former form, the team was able to stage an amazing comeback. There is a lot to unpack from this performance, and we’re here to help you put things in perspective. Detroit Lions Podcast Happy With A Win First and foremost, the Lions are in a position that very few predicted – undefeated after two games. The team is in second place, a half of a game out of first in the NFC North. This is one of those games where many Lions fans come out frustrated. We don’t agree, there is a lot to be happy with here. There are a few that don’t deserve celebration too, and one of them may not be on the team next week. The Detroit Lions Podcast spends a good deal of time breaking this down and discussing what Lions fans should take away from this game.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take you through the Lions tie that felt like a loss. Did it feel like a loss because we were conditioned toward that outcome? Was this improvement? What does this mean for the team? Detroit Lions Podcast In Arizona We spend a good deal of time and take you deep on the game experience in Arizona. Case was in the stadium and brings us the tales of glory that only a visiting Lions fan can bring. We break the game down into two sections – the first three and a half quarters and the last half quarter. They were two different games and we explain what happened, why it happened, and why we don’t expect to see something like this next week. From there the Detroit Lions Podcast discusses the situation with Antonio Brown. There is an aspect to this story that rings a little bell of similarity to something we’ve seen in Detroit… We share our thoughts on the matter and await the next shocking turn as much as anyone else. We take a moment to discuss a man who most Lions fans are familiar with, Fred McLeod. He passed away the other day and deserves a moment of our time to remember him and his contributions to Detroit. Next the Detroit Lions Podcast breaks out the hype with Chris’s latest audio creation. We’re looking for your feedback on this – help us know where your hype level is after hearing this. Lions Look Forward We take a few moments to delve into the predictions for the upcoming Chargers game. It may be a heck of a lot more winnable than we thought even 3 weeks ago. We also take you around the division to look at our competition and to ascertain where we might stand after the first week of football. Finally, the Detroit Lions Podcast welcomes our friend Dean Blandino to the show to discuss his new podcast, review the craziest calls in the NFL this week, and grade the officials on their work in the Lions game.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined Jeff Risdon to discuss the Lions incredible season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. This game had it all, the makings of a massive victory for the Lions, the possibility of a crushing loss, and it ended with the first Lions tie in 30 years. There was a whole lot right in this game and a couple of crucial failures. There is a lot to unpack from this performance, and you have the two best possible guys to help you put things in perspective. The Detroit Lions Podcast Ties Things Up There were three and a half quarters of strong play from the Lions team, but things began to fall apart when Darrell Bevell convinced Matt Patricia to call a time out at a crucial juncture in the game. Not calling the time out would have all but guaranteed a Lions victory. Matthew Stafford was visibly angry with the call yelling at his coaches to “trust me” when they nullified what would have been a first down and more for the team. The Detroit Lions Podcast spends a good deal of time breaking this down and discussing what Lions fans should take away from this incident.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff “the Riz” Risdon to bring you the latest in Detroit Lions news. We discuss recent pick ups, releases, and try out, discuss a great article about Matthew Stafford by “The Ringer”, take a quick look at Andrew Luck’s retirement, look at Lions season predictions (including making our own), and take a look ahead at the Detroit Lions game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Detroit Lions Podcast Is Sad We kick things off by discussing the devastating cut of Zach Zenner from the team. We discuss where he is trying out, his future, and if we’ll ever see him in Detroit again. It was a sad day for Zenner fans. From there the Detroit Lions Podcast takes a look at the great article in The Ringer that discusses Matthew Stafford and puts his decade in the NFL in perspective. It tells us a number of behind-the-scenes stories that help us understand Matthew’s character and what drives him. It’s definitely worth your time. The next item on the docket is Andrew Luck’s decision to retire from the NFL. Chris has a take that differs a little bit from what you are hearing everywhere else. One that’s worth thinking about. Detroit Lions To Win The Division? After that, the Detroit Lions Podcast breaks down Football Outsiders’ DVOA projection that puts the Lions at the top of the NFC North this year. We want to believe. Unfortunately, there are a few teams that stand in the way of their attempt to claim the division for the first time since 1993. We take a look at the Football Outsiders piece and provide our thinking on the topic. Finally, the Detroit Lions Podcast discusses the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. There are a number of variables at play, and a couple of strategic signings the Lions have made in an attempt to get an edge in their first game of the year. We discuss keys to the game and provide our predictions on the Detroit Lions season.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down the latest Detroit Lions news. We recap the game against the Houston Texans, cover the pickup/drop of a few wide receivers (and one who is still a possibility), discuss Martha Ford and her upcoming TV appearance, and go in on Brian Baldinger and his cringy “drunk uncle” rant. Detroit Lions Podcast Game Review We kick things off by discussing the second game of the Detroit Lions preseason, this one against the Houston Texans. David Fales, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Miles Killebrew and Will Harris all earned high marks. We also go into who didn’t show as well and cover one player that is making an interesting case for himself. Then we hit the waiver wire and discuss who the Lions have picked up, put down and are thinking about. It’s interesting to see who they are looking at in an attempt to bolster their depth at wide receiver. There’s definitely work to be done at the position, expect more to come. Your Fantasy, A Reality Don’t forget, our Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football season has opened up! We have made big changes this year as a result of your feedback – no IDP leagues, it’s all team defense, no more cross-league competition it’s you against 11 others for that first place cash, we’ve even got a few Pick ‘Em leagues! /u/A5hcrack did the math and realized we’ve quadrupled the number of prizes. Check it out and sign up at http://fantasy.DetroitLionsPodcast.com Next the Detroit Lions Podcast takes a look at Martha Ford’s upcoming special, “A Lifetime of Sundays”. The special profiles four iconic female NFL owners, including Martha Ford. Mrs. Ford was contacted ahead of the premiere and shared some of her hopes for the team. Definitely worth a watch on August 25th at 1:00 ET on ESPN. It airs again on September 1st at 3:30 ET on ABC. Breaking Down Baldinger’s Rant Finally, the Detroit Lions Podcast discusses an odd rant from Brian Baldinger. Case termed it best as a “drunk uncle” type rant. Not something we would typically expect from Baldy, but definitely something Lions fans weren’t happy with. We discuss where it might have come from.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to give you the latest in Detroit Lions news. We cover Antonio Brown, TJ Hockenson’s injury, Ty Johnson’s big time play, Matthew Stafford news, and provide a preview of what to watch for in the Lions game against Houston. Detroit Lions Podcast Highlights Near Misses We kick things off by talking about Antonio Brown. “How is he Lions news?”, you might ask. Antonio was discussed as the key piece to fix the ailing wide receiver position for the Lions this year. A quick check in on the Oakland Raiders on HBO’s Hard Knocks and you can see why its best that we didn’t pick him up. Chris takes a moment to remind listeners that its sometimes as important to looks at who you *didn’t* pick up as much as who you did. Good work from Mr. Quinn on this one. Next we dive in on TJ Hockenson and his reported injury from today. Word broke that he was headed to the sideline and disappeared with trainers. A collective panic started to settle in over Lions Twitter until we found out that he was poked in the eye and the injury was nothing serious or long lasting. The Detroit Lions Podcast takes a minute to discuss just how important he is to the Lions offense this year and puts context around just how devastating that could have been. Realizing Your Fantasies Don’t forget, our Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football season has opened up! We have made big changes this year as a result of your feedback. There are no IDP leagues, it’s all team defense, no more cross-league competition. It’s you against 11 others for that first place cash, we’ve even got a few Pick ‘Em leagues! /u/A5hcrack did the math and realized we’ve quadrupled the number of prizes. Check it out and sign up at http://DetroitLionsPodcast.com/store We take another look at one of the guys we’re rooting for, Ty Johnson. He’s looking good out there and scoring better than his stats would tell you. Chris also starts to become a bigtime buyer on Amani Oruwariye. He likes what he sees and thinks this kid could turn into something special. Definitely one to watch over the next two years. Matthew Stafford Loves You Finally, the Detroit Lions Podcast discusses a couple of Matthew Stafford stories from the last few days. We help folks understand just how committed he is. From there we preview what we should be looking for in the game against Houston as our excitement builds toward the reality of real football coming down the pike.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case cover the kickoff of the Detroit Lions Preseason! With game one in the books we have a lot to discuss. The team didn’t look great, there were a number of injuries, and the score was just plain ugly. Is this indicative of what to expect from the team in 2019? Should we just chalk it up? Cash in until 2020? We tackle these questions and more this week… Also, we end the show with the Dan Miller interview of Dean Blandino from our Training Camp Party last week. Dan combines no-holds-barred questions from the audience and his own questions with a personal story that will knock you off your seat in this amazing interview. We put it at the very end of the podcast for your enjoyment. We highly recommend seeing the video version here – you don’t want to miss this. Detroit Lions Podcast Back In The Studio! We start off by thanking the people who took part in our Training Camp week. It was amazing for us, and we can’t thank everyone who took part in making the week so successful. I am 100% certain we missed people and we sincerely apologize for that, it was a whirlwind week and we’re still recovering. So much so that we added more thank yous at the end of the show. If we missed you, we are so sorry – we talk about Case’s multiple concussions later in the show, and that’s the least of the reasons we’re too dumb to remember everyone who deserves a call out… Next we dive in on game 1 of the preseason. Hooray, its football! Boo, its ugly! We seem to get so caught up in the offseason and the buildup to finally seeing our boys hit the field that we often forget what the preseason really means – which is, not much. With that we separate the wheat and the chaff, talk about what we should worry about and what we shouldn’t. We also talk about where things looked sharp and which of those things are important. The team was bit hard by the injury bug and we help bring some clarity to what that means for the team in the long run. Fantasy Football Sign Up Is Now! Don’t forget, our Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football season has opened up! We have made big changes this year as a result of your feedback – no IDP leagues, it’s all team defense, no more cross-league competition it’s you against 11 others for that first place cash, we’ve even got a few Pick ‘Em leagues! /u/A5hcrack did the math and realized we’ve quadrupled the number of prizes. Check it out and sign up here! We also discuss the offensive line play we saw in preseason game 1. It was abhorrent. We discuss Tyrell Crosby and what to take away from his performance. We also bring context to what we were actually watching with the line and why there’s no reason to panic. Dan Miller’s Candid Interview With Dean Blandino Finally, we added Dan Miller’s great interview of Dean Blandino from our Training Camp party to the end of the show. It’s an absolute can’t miss conversation done in the way that only Dan can do. That alone is worth the price of admission.

We start off welcoming Sandman to the show this week, he will be joining us in our coverage of the Lions Training Camp this year – look for some great reporting from him about what he sees and how this team has changed year over year. He had a keen eye for what last year would look like, and he started calling it from the second week of training camp last year. We’re excited to have him continue to share his talents with us. Next on the Detroit Lions Podcast, we talk about the end of the Slay and Snacks holdouts – huzzah! No more arguments between Chris and Case about the semantics of that one. It could have been a long season otherwise. They may be starting under the NFI designation, but we’ll tell you why not to worry and to be happy for day one of camp. Living The Football Fantasy So much more, our Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football season has opened up!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case cover the latest Lions offseason news including the new Madden rankings, Golden Tate and his words on Matthew Stafford, some offseason work that Stafford has put in with a couple of Lions receivers, the biggest concern for the 2019 Lions, and a lot more! Detroit Lions Podcast Apologizes We start off with an apology for last week’s missing show. Chris had to leave town for work and the boys weren’t able to get together to put a show together. The promise to try and make it up to you though… After that we take on the biggest topic of the day, the Lions player rankings in Madden. Chris laments our two highest rated players holding out (Case tries to stem an aneurysm at Chris’s choice of words. With his new ‘stache, it probably would have been a favor if he had). There are many obviously questionable choices and ratings that seem out of touch. It’s just another rating system that attempts to take some subjective information and quantify it. These are never perfect, but it is better than nothing… Next on the Detroit Lions Podcast, we discuss Golden Tate and his reference to Matthew Stafford as the best quarterback that he’s ever played with. Case seems to take exception and wants to dance around in the semantics of the situation. Chris (who seems to always be right – mainly because he writes the show notes) has fun agitating Lt. Jim Dangle. If you don’t get the reference, take a look at this week’s episode on our YouTube channel (first cut releases on Thursday) and evaluate Case’s new look. Summer Practice Builds Teamwork From there the Detroit Lions Podcast discusses the scene of Matthew Stafford’s offseason workout with Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola. After that we move on to cover an article posted by Reddit user /u/Waxxo discussing the biggest concern for the Detroit Lions in 2019. Case provides analysis while Chris finds a different area of concern for this team. Good discussion ensues. The boys also talk about the latest rankings on the Lions offensive line as created by PFF. Case again makes his thoughts on PFF clear, Chris feels that they are as valid as the Madden rankings or any other ranking system. Helping to quantify the subjective is helpful, but always requiring further context. Lastly the Detroit Lions Podcast covers an article posted by Reddit user /u/NFLFan84 in which each team’s biggest sleeper player was chosen. For the Lions, they chose CB Amani Oruwariye. We discuss what it means, and if the contribution of first year cornerbacks is about to push to the fore like it has for tight ends.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case cover a number of important Detroit Lions topics including: Nate Burleson on his time in Detroit, Matthew Stafford’s performance under center vs. in the shotgun, the party that no one will want to miss, digging deep on your questions in our mailbag, and we chat about the additional NFL Football Hall Of Fame inductees that might be added this year as a part of the centennial celebration. Detroit Lions Podcast Brings Nate Back We start off with a great quote from Nate Burleson about his time in Detroit. Listening to him speak about the city shows you just how awesome a guy he is, he “gets” the city and its heart. We spend a little bit discussing different players and how you can tell how committed to the city they really are. Next on the Detroit Lions Podcast, we talk about Matthew Stafford’s stats when he plays under center. Specifically, comparing them to when he’s playing out of the shotgun. The stats tell a very interesting story. Jeff Risdon breaks down how those stats should present themselves to Darrell Bevell. We also analyze how he might utilize them when building his offensive scheme. Chris rains on the parade with the idea that the stats might mean something in the Cooter/Lombardi offense, but the changes that Bevell brings might invalidate them. It may not, but it is definitely something to take in mind when building a scheme around the Lions most expensive player. Mailbag time! From there we welcome Jeff Risdon on the show to dive into the Detroit Lions Podcast Mailbag. We field questions from: @MrWoodsLoL, @GMart4041, @Lionsfan1960, @Ray7James, @IanEvan71041877, @SFHCommish_1, Ken in Brandon, and @ThisGuyNeil. Unfortunately we missed questions from: @ZugIreland, @DCWaz and might just pick them up on the next show. Lots of great discussion here, thank you everyone for the amazing questions – really got us going for a bit. The NFL is proposing changes to the Hall Of Fame this year. The NFL wants to add 20 players to the Hall Of Fame as a part of the league’s centennial celebration. We decide whether its overdue or if it devalues the idea of being a Hall of Fame inductee. We make arguments from both sides of the equation and weigh them to determine what this might mean across the broader spectrum.

Give him some love for stepping up via Twitter! Ash has been a writer for the site since the very beginning and has put together an excellent off-season roundup for those who are hungry for Lions chat during this slow period ahead of Training Camp.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case kick off what is known as the NFL’s “dead season” with some key news about the team, the podcast and more. We kick off with the final data from our St. Jude fundraising effort. We discuss the recently breaking news about Matthew Stafford’s back – and this time it isn’t just from carrying the team. We set the record straight on the Training Camp Party, talk power rankings, and celebrate the Detroit Lions Podcast anniversary. Who said it’s the “dead season”? Detroit Lions Podcast Scores For St. Jude First off, we need to thank each and every one of you who took part in our St. Jude fundraising drive. What an amazing effort you all put forth. We raised a total of $7,641.38 to help sick kids though the Detroit Lions Podcast Patreon donations, PayPal donations, direct donations to St. Jude, and through our auction. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to I Prevail, Dean Blandino, and the Detroit Lions organization for donating such amazing items to the auction. Then we talk about Matthew Stafford and his sore back. For the first time he’s suffering not from carrying the team, but from real injuries sustained during the season. Stafford suffered from micro-fractures in his back during the season and evidently continued to play even with the injuries. In response, Chris goes on a jag about how Stafford checks all the boxes when it comes to being an amazing man. There may be a real love affair budding in the Detroit Lions Podcast studios, even bigger than the original love for Zach Zenner. We’ll have to see how this competition plays out… Annual Training Camp Party Date Changes The Detroit Lions Podcast Training Camp Party takes center stage next. With the final announcement from the Lions about Training Camp dates, we were able to hone in on the exact date for our annual party. Tickets will go on sale for Patreon donors on Wednesday and the general public on Saturday at about noon on DetroitLionsPodcast.com. Lots of information here on guests, prizes, and more!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon for our last look at the Lions before the time of year known as “the dead zone” begins. We found it important to discuss Damon Harrison again, a little making up for our mistake, and a little further look at his situation. We take a listener’s call on the Calvin situation and then clarify a little bit on contracts in the NFL as well. The boys even sneak in some CBA chatter. Next, we touch base on Teez Tabor’s changes, the news about HBO’s Hard Knocks, and some interesting stats about Matthew Stafford. We also discuss a great post about the power of persistence from the subreddit, do a new segment “Pimp My article”, and talk Lions upcoming important dates. Detroit Lions Podcast Corrects The Record Chris has to apologize for saying Rosenhaus negotiated Snacks’ current contract. We knew he didn’t but we all brain farted last week when we discussed the situation. We break down what things look like for Harrison and how things may play out. From there we take a Detroit Lions Podcast listener’s call on the Calvin Johnson situation. We weigh in on it a bit and talk about negotiating contracts and where people may be getting hung up when they talk about players’ monetary figures. Additionally, we preview portions of the CBA to be addressed in the next agreement. Its also worth pointing out that current player movements and negotiations may be foreshadowing for what to look for. Meinke Brings Tabor To Life Kyle Meinke wrote an excellent article about Teez Tabor and how his life has changed over the last few years, particularly heading into this year. Teez visited an event held by the Detroit Youth Violence Prevention Initiative: The Brotherhood & Sisterhood in a pretty rough section of Detroit and spent some time speaking with kids about life. He spoke about how his circumstances were similar to theirs, how he had come up out of a tough neighborhood, and how he had stumbled along the way. He also talked about how doing the right things can help these kids rise above the situation they were born into, how they can also succeed. Tabor also discussed how it took a long time and a lot of inner reflection to get to where he is today. Working for a new start for himself with the Lions in the NFL. The Detroit Lions Podcast discusses how a lot of credit should go to Tabor, the Lions players, and Lions management for the work they are doing to help confront social injustice. This exemplifies a great effort and a huge push forward that can hopefully make a big impact on a number of young lives. Well written by Meinke, definitely worth a read. Knocking On A Different Door From there the Detroit Lions Podcast discuss HBO’s Hard Knocks, some interesting 2018 Matthew Stafford statistics (we sneak a Kelly Stafford update in there too!), and speak to the question from jahvidsanders44 in the Detroit Lions subreddit in which he asks: “Do you think part of the reason for our Super Bowl drought is because we don’t stick to a plan?” A great conversation ensues.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case kick off mandatory mini-camp, discuss Hard Knocks, and dissect the offensive line. We’re also joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to discuss the newly breaking contract dispute with Darius Slay and Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison. Detroit Lions Podcast Is Ready For Hard Knocks We kick it all off with the chatter that won’t go away – HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’. While we both love and hate the idea of the Lions being featured, in the end we just want an answer. It sounds like it’s down to the Lions and Raiders and we talk about the logic behind HBO picking either one. We take another look at Teez Tabor and some changes he’s gone through in the last year. He sounds like he has really buckled down and is working on his game harder than ever. We discuss what that mean for him and how the team should assess his performance. It’s not time to give up just yet. Then the Detroit Lions Podcast opens the book on CJ Anderson and what he means to Detroit’s offense. With Kerryon Johnson’s injury history, it’s good to have a hungry back itching to break out. Anderson brings that to Detroit and even as a “second on the committee” back, he will make a noticeable impact this year. This could be a good year for Anderson and Lions fans, definitely one to watch. Offensive Lines Aren’t Offensive Well, the offensive line seems to be locked in at this point. Things could switch up but the Taylor Decker – Kenny Wiggins – Frank Ragnow – Graham Glasgow – Rick Wagner crew seems to have locks on their spots. What does this mean for the team, and its most expensive player, Matthew Stafford? The Detroit Lions Podcast breaks it down. After that we discuss Calvin Johnson, he’s back in Lions news – and it’s not hugs and cuddles. He’s put a price on hugs and snuggles with Lions – likely over the market rate. We go over the situation, and even wind up with a caller who brings the conversation to an excellent conclusion. Contracting Something Ugly Lastly we are joined by Jeff Risdon to discuss the week’s big news, Darius Slay and Damon Harrison not showing up at mandatory mini-camp. This is both frustrating and depressing for Lions fans, and it is likely for Slay and Snacks as well. We talk about why there are likely different motivations for the players, but a single reason why. We also do a little role playing, and devil’s advocating around the impasse in an effort to provide perspective. In the end we want it all to work out in the best way possible for all involved parties.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to break down the first week in OTAs, have some Hock talk, discuss the broader Lions offensive plans, analyze the CB position, and more! Detroit Lions Podcast OTA Report Out of the gate we dive in to what we learned about the team in their first weeks of OTAs. There was a lot to look at and learn from this team. Tim Twentyman gives us 5 takeaways from week one and we walk through them and what they mean for the team. We take a look at first round draft pick T.J. Hockenson’s performance so far. The Riz talks about what he means to the team and how he can really help Matthew Stafford in a place where he badly needs it. Then the Detroit Lions Podcast takes a look at Darrell Bevell’s offensive strategy and some of the tenants of the offense that he’s bringing. One thing for sure, they look to be leaning on the defense to win games more than the offense, and that will be different for a lot of fans. Seeing who can accept it and how the team can execute will be one of the stories of the 2019 football season. It makes sense, but definitely leaves us with questions. Is the time right to go against the passing grain in the NFL? Do we have the personnel to execute? What the heck do “shots down field” look like in 2019? There is much here to discuss through camp and into the season. No Clear Corners Darius Slay is still looking for someone to play on the other side of the field from him. It feels better to have Justin Coleman in the slot, but will he line up as the Lions cb2? Questions remain about Quandre Diggs and Jamal Agnew – where will they line up? And of course, Ford, Oruwariye, and Tabor are all still open questions. The Detroit Lions Podcast takes a stab at how things might shake out and why. We spend some time discussing Kelly Stafford and her progress after brain surgery. She shared another update and continues to spark hope for a full recovery. She discusses the mental difficulty that comes with some of the effects so far and how it will take up to 12 months to find out if there are any permanent symptoms as a result. We continue to hope and pray for her full recovery – we know she’s going to use her experience to help others, and often, providing hope is key. Matthew Stafford Humiliates Aaron Rodgers Again She also shared a video of Matthew Stafford absolutely humiliating Aaron Rodgers in the realm of beer chugging. I’m certain that Aaron would have run to hide in the locker room again if he had the chance after being humiliated by Matthew twice in the last 6 months. The story is a little old, but still worth having fun with on the first Detroit Lions Podcast since it happened.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down the first day of OTAs for the Lions in 2019. We talk about positional movements, listen to player quotes, discuss Taste of the Lions, provide an update on Kelly Stafford, and last, but certainly not least, are joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to get his report from day 1 of OTAs! The Detroit Lions Podcast Has You Covered First, we hit the high points of the Lions last two weeks in ‘This Week In Reddit’ and help provide insights on everything that happened on the week we took off. We have solid audio from Matthew Stafford about how things went today and which areas they are focusing on at the beginning of camp. We also discuss some positional movements that weren’t a surprise, and should have been expected. The Detroit Lions Podcast also discusses who isn’t in camp. Should fans should be worried? We also have a discussion about our old gal Suh being signed by the Bucs in Tampa. We spend some time discussing Kelly Stafford and her progress after brain surgery. She shared another update and it was amazing. She went to a friend’s wedding and looked no worse for the wear. Kelly articulates some of the struggles she’s had as she works through her recovery from surgery. We are inspired by the excellent progress she’s made already. Getting A Taste Of The Lions The Detroit Lions Podcast then bounces in on Taste of the Lions. We cover the great stuff that happened there, including naming Chris’s undercover +1. We then move on to key upcoming dates in the Lions schedule.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down the Detroit Lions first round 2019 NFL draft pick. We walk through the areas in which we believe TJ Hockenson could help this team as well as key areas to watch in training camp and the preseason. We also spend some time discussing Jahlani Tavai, Kelly Stafford, and more! Detroit Lions Podcast Case Study First, in this Case Study we catalog the TJ Hockenson pick and the many ways in which he helps this Lions team. We analyze this from a number of perspectives including value, scheme, ability, and more. Finally, we cover areas of risk and how to mitigate them. This is a good in-depth conversation about the 2019 Lions first round draft pick. The Detroit Lions Podcast also discusses Jahlani Tavai, who the Lions nabbed in the second round. We don’t go nearly as deep as we did with Hockenson, but we take a look at what he brings. We also discuss why he was taken where he was, and the information that Chris received during the draft itself. Prayers For Kelly We spend a little time discussing Kelly Stafford and her progress after brain surgery. She shared another update and while things are moving slower than anyone wants, there’s a lot to celebrate with her situation. We still wish her the very best in her recovery and will be following closely.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case and Jeff Risdon bring you the first takes on the Lions performance during the draft. A few different opinions, and a look at how the Lions fared against their peers in the division. Detroit Lions Podcast Draft Reflections The show this week is commercial free – no breaks for sponsors, just straight Lions football content from the starting gun. Please use the links at the bottom of this page to help support the show in the meantime! Starting out we break down the T.J. Hockenson pick and weigh the positives and negatives of the pick. We also discuss some of the common fan and Twitter reactions. The Detroit Lions Podcast is satisfied with the pick and with a quick listen we bet you’ll agree. The Lions second round pick stunned many people, and was considered a reach by many others. There are some reports that Jahlani Tavai was at the top of the board for a pair of other teams and the Lions felt it was time to move on him. Worry not, we’ll help you understand how to feel about this pick. Round 3 was an absolute head-scratcher for all but a very few folks. We take a look at this pick and discuss why it may be a defining pick for the Bob Quinn regime. Draft Wrap And A Fifth Round Gem We’ll go through the rest of the picks in this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast and a couple of Undrafted Free Agents to help put the cherry on top. A real highlight of a pick happened in the 5th round when the Lions picked up cornerback Amani Oruwariye at #146 overall. This one garnered a lot of discussion and for us it was no different. Lastly, we aren’t real big on draft grades. With that in mind, we compare the offseason work of the Lions against their division rivals. We also determine which teams got better and where. As always, the Detroit Lions Podcast has you covered for the draft this year and we have a whole lot more to come.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring you the last stop before the draft. We are joined by Tony Ortiz and Jeff Risdon to break down where the Detroit Lions might be looking in the draft. Two different opinions, and two good draft models play out before you. Detroit Lions Podcast Draft Party We begin the show with the boys talking about the draft party. It’s the best way to not have to leave your house and still get amazing draft coverage. Everything you might need will be available on the DetroitLionsPodcast.com live draft stream. You don’t want to miss it. The next big topic is to walk down the list of the top #1 draft picks from the last 52. We have a pretty good discussion, but are constantly hamstrung by the caveat that this is only about #1 draft picks. It makes for an interesting discussion and one in which the rules really do matter. From there we discuss Kelly Stafford’s situation as we know it. We have an emotional investment in her progress and success, so we will continue to follow this story. The Staffords are an amazing family, you can’t help but wish them the very best. Then we move on to our St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fund raiser. Holy cow, you people are amazing. We’ve made great progress and continue to work toward raising money for a worthy and amazing cause. The auction is on fire, and time is running out. Get in there before you lose your chance to get something amazing. Come to http://DetroitLionsPodcast.com and make your donation, bid in the auction, or pick up a shirt where $1 from each sale will go to St. Jude. We have until the end of the month to push this over the top – help us get there! Tony Ortiz Is The Hero We Need At that point, the boys are sick of each other, so they bring super hero Tony Ortiz to make his last stand and put his stake into the ground for the draft. Tony is amazing as usual and makes some very good cases for his draft choices. He earns some walk off music as a result. Tony will always be in our hearts. Ever heard of that Riz guy? Yeah, he darkens our doorway once again with his last stand. He makes all kinds of crazy predictions on how the draft may play out. We were on board until he picked Barry Sanders in the 4th round, then we knew he was drunk… Well, the opposite of that happened, but we need to see the “Riz was wrong” segment for the future… Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming Detroit Lions Podcast!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, @DeanBlandino joins Chris while Case gets away for a week. We also bring The Riz, Jeff Risdon on board to talk about breaking Lions news. A lot going on this week, so let’s get into it… Detroit Lions Podcast Co-host Dean Blandino We begin the show with a surprise co-host, Dean Blandino joining Chris to break down the latest Lions news. Dean is a natural fit for our first topic, the changes to the NFL rules that came from last week’s League/Owners’ Meeting. He brings the right level of insight to what we can expect and what to worry about as a result of the changes – we also put it in context of the Lions and what it means for us directly. Dean also shares with us how the NFL will communicate their initial interpretation of the new rules as well as how things will evolve over the season. Great insight to a yearly occurrence that will have bigger impact in the 2019 season. Dean also makes a $500 pledge to the Detroit Lions Podcast St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fund raiser on the fly. Come to http://DetroitLionsPodcast.com and make your donation, or pick up a shirt on the site, where $1 from each sale will go to St. Jude. From there we discuss the CJ Anderson signing and what Dean thinks it means to the team. CJ has a lot to bring and his attitude out of the gate should strike fear into the hearts of our rival defensive linemen. This is a pickup that should mean a lot to the Lions run game that needed a ton of help in 2018. Who’s Ready For The Lions On ‘Hard Knocks’? Next up is a conversation about Hard Knocks, a little about the selection process and how the Lions can stay away. Dean also talks to the Detroit Lions Podcast about what it means to the team from various angles. We get some great insight around Bob Quinn at this part of the show as well… It’s that time of year, time to get ready for our 3rd annual NFL Draft Party! We give you the info you need to prepare for the best place to hang out and get your Lions draft chat and analysis in addition to hearing from some of your favorite guests. Don’t forget, we’ll be taking your calls during the whole affair as well. We also let the cat out of the bag on our 3rd Annual Detroit Lions Training Camp Party! Tentatively scheduled for August 3rd this year, we have declared the daytime training camp period to be Zach Zenner day. Then, as the sun goes down, we’ll kick off the party. We’ll do a live broadcast from the event with great door prize drawings, and (of course) very specials guests. Get yourself ready, it is going to be a blast! The Riz Returns We close things out with Jeff Risdon. He weighs in with the Detroit Lions Podcast just hours after the CJ Anderson pickup and takes us on a deep draft run where he discusses the top positional prospects that belong in the top 10 in the draft. It’s a great look at things from a “big board” perspective. Don’t miss the show close, Dean has a hilarious pants-free story!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case continue to their drive to $10K for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We also have Matt Patricia for breakfast, Discuss the Lions top needs, bring in the Riz to discuss the first three rounds of the draft, and take you ‘Around The Division’ with an advance look at new music from the soon to drop I Prevail album which comes out March 29th! Detroit Lions Podcast Owns It We begin the show with Chris eating crow. He blew it on Malcolm Brown and takes full ownership, well… He takes you all down with him. Then the conversation begins with new Lions pickup Tommy Lee Lewis and what happened as a result of last week’s conversation and Reddit user/Twitter friend Honolulu Blue Balls response. From there we delve into Matt Patricia’s interview at the Owners’ Meeting breakfast today. He spent just about an hour after breakfast talking to reporters and answering everything they threw his way. There were even jokes at Kyle Meinke and Michael Rothstein’s expense. We’re going to have to check in with Justin Rogers on the effect of these to get the appropriate color commentary. We bring you the key clips from the interview and react/respond with our take on the insights that Coach Patricia provides. There is a ton to unpack, and we may carry our conversation into next week on this as we think more about it. Of course we discuss our drive to 10K for St. Jude. Please be sure to tell anyone you know about this effort and take part if you haven’t. Seriously, do everything you can to amplify the sound on this. We need everyone to know and everyone we can find to take part. Bring On The Riz From there we get Jeff Risdon on the phone. The Riz is his inimitable self and kills it as usual. We have a hilarious and enjoyable conversation that covers the Lions key needs ahead of the draft, what the Lions will be looking at during the draft (Chris declares rounds 2 and three complete pants off moments), and he helps take us ‘Around The Division’ where we share a new intro from the soon to be released Trauma album from I Prevail. Chris is massively in love with the song used here, “Rise Above It”. This isn’t a sponsorship, these are friends. We genuinely love this band, and Trauma is over-the-top amazing.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case continue to their drive to $10K for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We also discuss Free Agency, bring an angle on Matthew Stafford that you haven’t heard anywhere else, talk about needs for the NFL Draft, and bring on Tony Ortiz, a longtime multi-talented Lions specialist straight off the radio in Detroit. Detroit Lions Podcast Back On The Attack We begin the show talking about new Lions pickup Tommy Lee Lewis. After Chris makes the obligatory Pamela Anderson joke we take a look at what he might bring to the team and where he may be lacking. Also, the Malcolm Brown offer breaks while we are recording and we hit that one a little later in the show. From there Chris brings up a thought process on Matthew Stafford that you haven’t heard anywhere else. It’s an interesting take on how he might be thinking about his career, where his head is at, and what might weigh on his thinking when contract time comes around. Don’t freak out, but it’s another set of data that certainly will weigh in on his decision-making process. This is another time where we think beyond the standard fare on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Of course we discuss our drive to 10K for St. Jude. Please be sure to tell anyone you know about this effort and take part if you haven’t. Next we go into draft mode and discuss the concept of “trading down” and what it would take. We also break down why we might, how we might, and what it might cost based upon different scenarios. Addressing The Lions Biggest Need It was then time to talk about the CB2 position. It’s the talk of the town and the most glaring need for the team at this point. The Detroit Lions Podcast discusses who is available, what they might mean to the team, and how this could wind up playing out for the Lions. We are then pleased to bring Tony Ortiz onto the show. He is an amazing guest that brings some really fresh thinking to how the Lions might be positioning the team and how they may position the players they’ve picked up and where the Lions may be focusing in the draft. Tony is a welcome addition to the Detroit Lions Podcast.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case announce the biggest thing they’ve ever undertaken on the show (and they need your help to make it succeed). They break down the latest free agency and draft news, take a look at key dates coming up in the NFL, and Jeff Risdon joins to get down and dirty on the new guys. Detroit Lions Podcast Charity Fundraiser Things kick off with a huge announcement – this starts at the 4:59 mark of the show. Chris and Case, feeling inspired by Coach Patricia and Coach Mariucci, decide it’s time to put the challenge out to the fans to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Chris, Case, and Sandman have committed to match the first $1,000 of additional donations made to the Detroit Lions Podcast Patreon account, as well as all donations made to the account during the months of March and April. Additionally, they are committing $1 from every shirt sold at the new Detroit Lions Podcast – Pants-Free Products Store to be added to the total donation to St. Jude. Additionally, on March 19th we begin an auction filled with tons of Lions, NFL, and music industry merchandise. 100% of the sale price of each auction item is added to the St. Jude donation. The auction ends on April 25th and winners are announced on the Detroit Lions Podcast Draft Party live stream. Please take a moment and do what you can to help. Families around the world rely on your donations to get them through some of the most difficult times of their lives. Let’s show them how big Lions fans’ hearts really are. If you can’t donate directly, tell everyone you know about this effort. Let’s amplify this message and provide hope to those who desperately need it. Lions Free Agency Moves After that announcement, the huge free agency signings the Lions just made might not seem so big. Trust me, to this organization and its fan base, and the Detroit Lions Podcast, they certainly are. Trey Flowers, Justin Coleman, Jesse James, Danny Amendola, and Zach Zenner so far. The Lions still have money to spend, so there’s sure to be more action. We discuss what we think Bob Quinn is doing, and how we think he’s doing it. We also discuss what these picks might mean for the draft. Then we discuss upcoming key dates in the draft. Then, Case takes us around the division. Lastly, Jeff Risdon rolls in to the Detroit Lions Podcast and goes Marianas Trench deep on these picks. He discusses just how well the Lions did. A great segment from Jeff, again.

Detroit Lions Podcast Gears Up For The Combine From there the Detroit Lions Podcast takes a final look at free agency before things open up and the signings begin. We also take a quick look at the draft ahead of the combine after which everything will change – at least it seems that way every year. We also take a look at key dates coming up in the NFL. These dates will start rolling through pretty quickly here, so its good to keep them on your radar. We also start talking about our annual draft party. Get ready for a great time again this year! Lastly, we take a quick minute to let everyone know that there won’t be a new Detroit Lions Podcast episode next week. Both Chris and Case are traveling and the logistics involved with getting everyone together were just too much. We’ll be back on March 13th to break down the Lions 2019 free agent signings from the first day of free agency. That being said, be sure to keep an eye on our @DetLionsPodcast twitter account next week, particularly on Monday. Some fun and exciting things are coming, and this is just the beginning. The Riz Brings It Again Last, but not least, we bring a sick Jeff Risdon onto the Detroit Lions Podcast for a mix of Lions X-Files and myth busters with some real talk about Matthew Stafford. The poor guy is living on cough drops, but still brings some interesting content to the discussion. Lastly, we discuss Jeff’s latest mock draft and get a feel for where Jeff thinks the team is at.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring the latest news on Matthew Stafford trade rumors and have a *long* chat with Detroit News beat writer and Kyle Meinke owner, Justin Rogers about Lions free agency. Detroit Lions Podcast Needs You! Things start off once again with us asking for your input. We make a quick ask of our listeners to go to http://DetroitLionsPodcast.com/2019-listener-survey and complete a quick survey about the show. This survey is a great way to give feedback and be hears and will help us to ensure the show is the very best it can be. We don’t ask for any personal information, we have no way of contacting you, bothering you, or selling your info. We just want your input so we can be sure that we are hitting all of the marks in bringing you the best show possible. From there we kick off our show with some talk about the Matthew Stafford trade rumors surrounding the team. As usual, the Detroit Lions have some loony unsubstantiated rumors swirling around them. This must be a gas-lighting sociology experiment, right? Now the rumor focuses on a trade of Matthew Stafford to the Dallas Cowboys. It has all the right threads being pulled to make it interesting. Just the right amount of plausibility. Its bunk. We’ll give a few reasons why, but just know, its bunk. There are a few more rumors being bandied about that we’ll break down with the Riz next week. You’ll love/hate that episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, we promise. We also spend some time talking about the release of Glover Quinn. He’s a player that the team, fans, and the city as a whole will miss. A high quality player, and high character guy. Unfortunately, its one of the realities to contend with. Age takes a little away from us every year and unfortunately, one of our all-time favs in Glover is the latest victim. Justin Rogers Joins The Detroit Lions Podcast We spend over 3/4 of the next hour talking with Detroit Lions beat writer, Justin Rogers. In this in-depth look at free agency, we have a lot of fun (mostly at Case’s expense) talking about how the Lions might fill their biggest needs. We take a look at Trey Flowers, Darqueze Dennard, Morris Claiborne, and a whole lot more. To be fair the Detroit Lions Podcast takes Justin into the draft a little bit before he promises to come back and discuss that on a show in the near future. We also talk trades, coaching moves, differences he’s seeing in the coaching staff, and what has happened in the press room as its changed from the “Dungeon of Doom” in Caldwell’s era to where it is today. Justin brings a lot of candor to this situation and helps us to understand it from both sides of the podium.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case come back after a week-long break to give you your favorite Detroit Lions content. We kick off with some talk about the Draft, and let you know where our minds are in regards to the number eight pick for the Lions. We also discuss the Season Ticket Member Summit and the news that came out of that. From there we touch on a few different topics, but the most important takeaway for anyone who listens is Groundhog Gabriel. Know it, live it, love it. Detroit Lions Podcast Listener Survey 2019 Things start off with us asking a favor of our listeners. Maybe not the standard way of kicking a show off, but we are as non-standard as they come. We make a quick ask of our listeners to go to http://DetroitLionsPodcast.com/2019-listener-survey and complete a quick 3 minute survey about the show. This survey will help us to ensure the show is the very best it can be for you, and a great way to give us feedback and be heard. We don’t ask for any personal information, we have no way of contacting you, bothering you, or selling your info. We just want your input so we can be sure that we are hitting all of the marks in bringing you the best Detroit Lions Podcast possible. That was like a minute of the show – definitely took longer to read/type than talk about – after that, its football time. We dive straight into the draft talk. This show we take a look at the Tight End position. We discuss who the top tier candidates are and where we might want to take them. What’s the risk of a tight End at 8th overall, and are there any reasons it could make sense? We then talk about the “safe” or likely pick for the Detroit Lions in the first round. After that, Chris talks about another interesting candidate that may be more of a high risk/high reward type of grab. Season Ticket Member Summit Next we discuss the Season ticket Member Summit on the Detroit Lions Podcast. We start by discussing Bob Quinn saying he’s willing to take a Quarterback in the draft. It was something that drew a lot of discussion and fire from dissenters. Definitely worth discussing. Also, Tim Twentyman had a great article on DetroitLions.com in which he shares 10 takeaways from Darrell Bevell, Paul Pasqualoni, and John Bonamego. It’s a great article that lends itself to some discussion and we share our reactions to his points. As a result of one of the points made, Chris decides that Da’Shawn Hand, Damon “Snacks” Harrison, and A’Shawn Robinson need to be named DaDA – because they can stand across any offensive line and ask, “Who’s your DaDA?” From there we take on a number of shorter, “Quick Hit”, types of topics. One of which deserves to be seared in your memory. You need to listen to this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast and commit “Groundhog Gabriel” to your memory. Hell, make it a hashtag, #Groundhog Gabriel. Someone just saw their shadow.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case pull out all the stops. Chris brings back his report from his trip to the Senior Bowl, we break down who is jumping into the Free Agency pool, Take an early look at the draft, Dean Blandino joins us to talk about the call in the New Orleans Saints and LA Rams game, and Jeff Risdon props his sick body up, and loses his pants, to talk about the Detroit Lions new QB coach hire. Oh, and Justin Rodgers makes a brief (hilarious) appearance prior to joining us for some long form stuff in an upcoming show. It’s an epic show this week! The Detroit Lions Podcast Brings Out The Big Guns Things start off normally enough, Chris gets a surprise shot in on Case (with some help from Justin Rodgers of the Detroit News) and they break into a discussion about free agency and the players being added to the availability pool. There are some nice pieces in there that could really help the Detroit Lions. There is one in particular that has Case’s radar pinging – and it’s hard to disagree with him. From there we talk about the sad situation with Trevor Bates. Hopefully he gets some help and everything can smooth itself over for everyone. No one is a winner here. Next we start breaking down some draft scenarios and prospects and how things may have changed with the hiring of Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell. There’s a new sheriff in town, and that means a new approach. Bevell shared some great thinking during the hiring process. The Detroit Lions Podcast can’t wait to see what he does with the talent on this team. From here, Chris does his report on what he saw and experienced at the Senior Bowl this year. Chris brings you to the “Elephant Walk” and talks about who he sat with, and his approach to evaluation this year. He also breaks down his top players to watch based upon their performances at practice last week. There’s a lot of good info here on a number of players – some of who just might wind up on the Lions roster. Dean Blandino Joins Us Again Dean Blandino joins the Detroit Lions Podcast to discuss the controversial non-call in the LA Rams and New Orleans Saints game. He breaks down the play itself, the role of the officials, and what happened on the field. He also takes time to discuss what will happen within the ranks of the officials and how things may and may not change going forward. After that we break away from talking about officiating and discuss the Super Bowl LII match up. Dean predicts a winner you never expected. Lastly, with the breaking news about the hiring of Sean Ryan as QB Coach for Matthew Stafford, Chris and Case call up the sickened corpse of Jeff Risdon and get him to weigh in on the hire. Suffice it to say, he’s quite the happy camper, despite his illness. This episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast is jam packed. Don’t miss it.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are joined live in studio by Jeff Risdon. Jeff is in town to cover the Shrine game, and from there he and Chris will be heading off to cover the Senior Bowl and dig deep on key draft prospects for the Detroit Lions. Case does Free Agency, and evidently there was some coach hired that we should talk about… Detroit Lions Podcast Welcomes Darrell Bevell The biggest piece of business this week is to cover the hiring of Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell. To say that everyone is surprised would be an understatement. The beat media folks knew someone was coming but had no idea who. It was fun to watch everyone scramble, research, speculate, and finally report on what he brought to the team. Masterful work by the Detroit Lions in keeping things quiet and getting their guy. Risdon also talks about who else might have wanted him but *didn’t* wind up getting him. Overall, this looks like a good hire for the team. One which brings optimism for the future. Don’t worry, the Detroit Lions Podcast counts the ways. After that we get our first cut on Free Agency from Case. He finds himself lining up very closely with Justin Rodgers’ thinking from the Detroit News. He takes us through a number of positions and points out where there are possible fits, where there are gaps between needs and player availability, and which players we just might need to pay attention to. Jeff Risdon drops a little nugget on a CB to keep an eye on as well. Good stuff, the Detroit Lions Podcast fires up your Free Agency thinking. Draft Coverage Goes Big From there we move into Jeff’s coverage of the Shrine Game practices this week. He gives a great breakdown of what the game is all about, some famous names who have been here before, and who to look for. He also has a few fun stories about some player/coach interactions. Don’t overlook this game. Detroit Lions like Theo Riddick, Zach Zenner, and Quandre Diggs all came up out of the Shrine Game. If you care about the draft, it’s definitely worth your time. The Detroit Lions Podcast also lets loose on the expanded coverage you’re going to see from the Senior Bowl. Jeff, Sandman, and Chris will all be there bringing you the latest news livestreamed from the sidelines in a Daily Diary as well as next week’s podcast in a video format. We might just find a special guest to join us… Subscribe to our YouTube channel and enable notifications to see it all happen live.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take ahold of the microphones while Jeff Risdon is away covering the Jim Bob Cooter interview with the Cleveland Browns for Brownswire – poor guy. Fear not, the boys fight through Case’s failing internet connection to bring you the most important and pertinent Detroit Lions news today. They also talk about another leap that the show will be taking as we push to bring you the best Lions content in the most engaging formats. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Hires and Fires The first order of business this week is to cover the recent front office move at the Vice President of Football Operations position. Bob Quinn hire Matt Harriss is out and Mike Disner is in. Chris calls an immediate Super Bowl victory as a result. Case tempers Chris’s enthusiasm with talk about finance, the time value of money, and spreadsheets. Suffice it to say, we won’t be hearing much from Matt in the coming year. Then we get into the boring stuff and talk about Offensive Coordinator candidates. Things seem pretty quiet around the team right now and everyone knows, that’s when a Lion strikes. The Detroit Lions Podcast discusses some of the previous possibilities that were mocked the Lions way, many of which have now been hired elsewhere. Still a pretty wide open group of candidates to choose from, and no real indications from the team as to where they may be looking. After pillorying Michael David Smith of PFT, we look ahead to next year’s schedule. As of today the breakdown of who we play and where we play them seems to favor the Lions bringing us the more difficult teams at home and some of the easier ones on the road. There is a lot of offseason to go, but it felt right to take an early look. Heading Around The Division After that we take the longest look ‘Around the Division’ that we’ve had in the show’s history. We start with the Chicago Bears and have a little fun at their expense as a result of their elimination from the playoffs last week. From there we walk over the Green Bay Packers and their new head coach hire on the way to poke the Minnesota Vikings a bit.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Case, and Jeff “the Riz” Risdon discuss the latest Detroit Lions news. We cover the game against the Packers and also kick off our “Play with the Podcast” events. We also share the final positions from the Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football League. From there we go in-depth on Jim Bob Cooter, what happened, what it means, and analyze the top candidates. We also break down other changes we might see in the coaching staff, including the Defensive Coordinator. Finally, we try to quell the Stafford trade talk. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Wins, baby! The first order of business is the big win for the Lions over the Green Bay Packers. Even with three of us hosting, we forgot to mention Matt Prater’s amazing touchdown pass. We take time to talk about Zach Zenner, how he might fit going forward, and how this team has obviously not given up on their coaches. From there we bring back “Play with the Podcast” where you can join us on Xbox and get some high quality gaming time in with us. We also break down the big winners of the Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football League and congratulate them on landing in the money. Detroit Lions Part With Jim Bob Cooter Next we discuss the separation between Jim Bob Cooter and the Detroit Lions. Jim Bob’s contract ended on the 31st of December, and the team decided not to renew with him. This allows Cooter to take part in any number of interviews (there is significant interest) and the Lions to move forward with improving their offensive capabilities. That discussion wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t vet a number of available candidates and weigh how they might fit within the organization and what they bring. Also, we discuss the possible effects on Matthew Stafford. Also, the Detroit Lions Podcast talks about the likelihood of hiring a new Defensive Coordinator. He makes the case as to why it might be “on the table” and why Matt Patricia could be the biggest beneficiary of such a move. Don’t worry, Coach Pasqualoni likely wouldn’t be going anywhere… Stop Talking About Trading Matthew Stafford Additionally, we discuss the trade rumors that have swirled around Matthew Stafford and share a bit of insider info on the team and how the Detroit vs. Everybody mindset might be alienating players. We’ll be going more in-depth on that in future episodes.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take on the latest in Detroit Lions news and provide insights and opinions on a number of hot topics. We’ll look at the Vikings game, the draft, Matt Millen’s current situation, the 9-7 Bob Quinn quote, info about the meta around a new Offensive Coordinator and a whole lot more. Detroit Lions Podcast Gets Going This week we begin by reviewing the Lions loss to the Minnesota Vikings. We discuss the vast difference between how the defense started the game vs how they finished. We also talk about the abysmal offensive performance put on display. There is no reason to think Jim Bob Cooter will survive to coach another season in Detroit. From there we take a look at the draft and some of the top 1st round possibilities for the Lions. Case shares his thoughts and we discuss how we are going to dive in on our coverage this offseason. We’ll cap pre-draft coverage off with the amazing Detroit Lions Podcast Annual Draft Party/Spectacular. We’re putting a lot into the prospects this year to help you get the best info possible heading into what could be one of the most important drafts in the Detroit Lions recent history. Matt Millen Gets A Life-Saving Gift From there we move on to discuss Matt Millen and his current situation. You may not like him as a GM, but he is a part of the Detroit Lions football history. We wish him the very best recovery possible, and maybe one day we can get a redemption arc for him and the Lions. All that isn’t even scratching the surface. The Detroit Lions Podcast covers the Bob Quinn, “9-7 isn’t good enough” quote. Next, we cover the story about potential offensive coordinators and a narrative that’s brewing around Matt Patricia and his thinking there. We also take a look to the upcoming Green Bay Packers game, and a whole lot more.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by a fan favorite, Jeff Risdon, as a result of Case being ill. We cover a number of topics this week including the Bills game, Lions past talent finding success elsewhere, we provide a Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football League update, talk draft, Pro Bowl, and a whole lot more There’s a ton to cover and we dive right in. Detroit Lions Podcast Breaks It Down This week we begin by reviewing the Lions loss to the Buffalo Bills. There’s the Matt Prater topic to cover, how the defense is performing (kudos to Snacks, A’Shawn Robinson, Romeo Okwara, Jarrad Davis, Darius Slay, and Devon Kennard) We discuss the life and times of Jim Bob Cooter and where talent that used to play for him on the Lions has landed and how they are performing today. It leads to an interesting discussion about the team and player development. Then we celebrate the top teams in the Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football League. There are four leagues, in which four teams are vying for the top three positions. It just so happens that one of Chris’s team is one of them – in the Champions League. His story of just how he landed on his players and how his team has performed just might shock you… A total knucklehead. From there we move on to the 2019 NFL Draft. Jeff Risdon weighs in on where he thinks the Detroit Lions will be drafting and makes his pick for the Lions in the first round. Its early days and there is still a bunch of data to mine on this, but as of today Jeff has his #1 identified. We discuss some of the research opportunities that happen between now and the draft such as the Shrine Game, Senior Bowl, Combine, and a whole lot more. Chris will be attending all of these with Jeff to ensure we have the best coverage and analysis on the Detroit Lions draft for your consumption. We’re going all in on the draft this year. A Lot More To Discuss There’s so much more. We talk about who made the Pro Bowl from the Lions and who was snubbed. Chris comes up with an alternative to that crappy game that might make football exciting that weekend while still recognizing NFL players appropriately. We also cover Titus Young’s release from prison, look ahead to the game against the Minnesota Vikings, and Chris and Jeff Risdon tag team the ‘Around The Division’ segment. Lastly, hand around until the very end of the show for some hilarious audio from Kelly Stafford. Great stuff.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the Detroit Lions win over the Arizona Cardinals, likely Ziggy Ansah’s last game for the Lions, the view on tanking for a draft pick, this season’s unsung heroes, a perspective on the season so far, a look ahead to the Bills, and Case takes us around the division. This episode is buff and moves like Zach Zenner. Try to keep up. Detroit Lions Podcast Enjoys A Win This week we begin by reviewing the Lions big win over the Arizona Cardinals. It wasn’t a fun game to watch. It was a defensive contest that the Lions were able to take away from the Cards on the road. The injured and beleaguered offense continued to underperform, but despite a number of injuries (including to Da’Shawn Hand and Ezekiel Ansah) the Lions prevailed. We discuss what Ziggy’s injury means and why this was likely his last game for the Lions. Tough way to go out. The we talk about tanking and why it’s not a good idea, unless you want to lose a locker room. We understand where people’s hearts are, but you can’t neuter these cats, they are going to play until the final whistle. Unless you listen to the Freep. Then you think Coach Patricia lost them in July. Thanks to a great post from /u/Waxxo we talk about some of the team’s unsung heroes of the 2018 season. It isn’t over, and there isn’t a postmortem to be written, but a few guys deserve recognition for their great work. We review their accomplishments and add a few of the Detroit Lions Podcast favorite players to the list. Changes Have Been Happening In The Secondary Shhh, don’t say anything, but the Lions secondary has been evolving. Tracy Walker has been increasing his snap count as Glover Quin’s drop. We noticed Glover showing some signs of age on the field early in the season, and look at that… The team has quietly been making changes and getting the heir apparent up to speed. They’ve been doing it to good effect as well. Moving ahead, we take a look at the slow start to the season, and the ways in which the team has improved throughout the year. There’s another team who has been doing things in a similar fashion for a while. While many people (including us at time) had their toasters ready, maybe we can unplug them in the short term… Lastly, Case takes us for a Detroit Lions Podcast favorite – a quick run ‘Around the Division’ where we discuss the Green Bay Packers coaching changes and how they might actually hurt the team. We move to the Minnesota Vikings, their injury situation, and the firing their OC. Then of course there’s the Chicago Bears and their love of sausages. We’ll chat about them as well.

This week on the Detroit Lions Podcast: Quick Takes, Chris and Jeff slide back into Barry White mode and take another look at possible replacement Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase. We also make the cast to trim Cooter early, and talk about the Lions playoff chances as well as where we want them to land in the division. No real college action this weekend, so we take a week off from the draft talk. After that smooth jazz inspired intro we get right into it with a discussion about the case to trim Cooter prior to the end of the season. What does it mean, and what could it hurt? We also discuss how it’s worked for Cleveland. Detroit Lions Podcast Moves A Coordinator Up The List After last week’s discussion about Offensive Coordinators, Jeff Risdon has made some changes to his evaluation of Adam Gase. He makes the case for why Gas should be moving up the charts of possible replacements for Jim Bob Cooter. There are some good takes in here that you don’t want to miss. Then we look ahead to the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals game. This is one that the Lions should walk away with pretty easily, if Matthew Stafford can play. Look for heads to roll if they don’t and Jim Bob Cooter is likely at the top of the list of those in jeopardy. After that we take a broader look at the division and the Lions playoff chances. When you look at the remaining schedules, it’s still a real possibility that they make it, but they definitely have to play their best football against Minnesota. We also discuss whether we want the Lions to finish ahead of the pack in the division or not… Chris and The Riz, together again on the Detroit Lions Podcast… It’s a weekly thing now… Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming Detroit Lions Podcast!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the Lions loss to the Los Angeles Rams, talk about what’s to be gained from giving Jim Bob Cooter his walking papers, and discuss Golden Tate, Kenny Golladay, and Zach Zenner. We also take a look ahead to the Arizona Cardinals. This week we begin by taking a call for a favorite segment, “Puttin’ ’em on Blast”, and get a good critique of Jim Bob Cooter and his ability. It sparks a great conversation about what we could gain/lose from making a move at offensive coordinator at this point in the season. Chris is finally convinced that he’s ready to move on from Jim Bob at this point and talks about how we might even get better while also assessing a potential candidate to replace Cooter. Detroit Lions Podcast Game Review From there we take a look back at the game against the Los Angeles Rams. There were some high points, and some really great things to take away from that game, but it was also another opportunity squandered. Once again our Lions were able to create hope where we had none and dashed those hopes before we could realize greatness. For many, the Lions showed how to beat the Rams offense from the defensive side of the ball, but one of the keys to that is to have an offense. We missed on that one. From there we discuss the Golden Tate trade with new perspective. Could it be the lack of remaining home games and the team’s lack of belief in JBC that led to the trade? Picking up a good draft spot while knowing the effect on the team from the fans’ perspective would be small? A fresh conspiracy to chew on at this point in the Lions season. We also discuss the effect of Tate’s departure and Marvin Jones injury on the production of Kenny Golladay. The effect is real and at the same time, some good experience being built at the same time. Lastly, we discuss the misuse of Zach Zenner in the Lions offense. The standard, “he’s doing well, better stop using him” problem from JBC. Detroit Lions Wildcard Chances We take a look at what it would take for the Lions to seal the deal for a Wildcard playoff position. Its not impossible, yet there is still work to be done. The biggest game is the next one, but in the scheme of things the Vikings at home could be the pivot point for their opportunity to make the dance. Moving ahead, we take a look at the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals and discuss where the team’s opportunities might lie. Lastly, Case takes us for a quick run ‘Around the Division’ where we discuss the Green Bay Packers and their coaching changes, the Minnesota Vikings and their future financial issues, and The Chicago Bears and their love of sausages.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Mike the Ambling Bastard conduct a therapy session for Lions fans. This after the Detroit Lions lost to the Los Angeles Rams today. This is a different kind of loss. We all expected a loss to the Rams, but the Lions created hope where there shouldn’t have been any. That helped ensure the loss hurt even more. The boys take your calls and discuss the game and what’s next. The first half of this one went off pretty much as expected, though the defense stepped up and kept the Lions in the game. In the end the defense was the shining star of this game. Quandre Diggs was again a spark plug for the defense, and stood out as a player who never gives up. The Detroit Lions and Matt Patricia put on a clinic on how to stop the Los Angeles Rams – one which will be analyzed by the Rams opponents for the remainder of the season. Detroit Lions Podcast Is Done With Cooter On the other hand, Jim Bob Cooter’s offense put on a clinic showing how to beat the Detroit Lions. If you like runs up the middle on first down, you’ll love this game. It wasn’t until a the third quarter when the Lions threw a touchdown pass to Taylor Decker that the Lions finally started switching things up. When the did, they found great success. As soon as they found success, they went back to Jim Bob’s predictable conservative ways and the offense again stalled. There is an obvious gap between Coach Patricia and Coach Cooter. This will unwind itself in the offseason as Jim Bob won’t likely remain a part of the Lions staff more than 3 days after the end of the season. Things are bad enough that we just might see him gone ahead of that. So we take your calls and conduct an intensive post-game therapy session to help you cope with the upcoming work week and purge the bitter taste that comes from a loss like this. Definitely a needed prescription. A hearty thank you to everyone who took the time to join us for the live post game version of the Detroit Lions Podcast! Comments Or Concerns?

After that, we look across the landscape of possibilities at Offensive Coordinator. We walk you through the pluses and minuses of some of the top prospects. It’s a great first look at where the team might go. After that we take our first look at the draft for the Lions. The nice thing is, we give you players that you can scout on your own this weekend as they play in games that will give you a good look at their talents and how they may fit into the Lions scheme.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the Lions loss to the Bears, talk about where we get things wrong, and discuss the heartbreak that comes with dashed expectations. We also take a look ahead to the Rams. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Turkey This week we begin by talking about the turkey that the Lions left on the field against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving morning. Chris discusses the offense and which areas Jim Bob Cooter and Matt Patricia run – you’ve not heard this anywhere else. They also discuss Matthew Stafford’s role. There is a lot to look at here and it looks like we have more than enough information to make some serious decisions about Detroit Lions personnel. Decisions that include both players and the coaching staff. It’s about not throwing the baby out with the bath water at this point and surgically removing the pieces that cost us the most. Case takes an introspective look at what being wrong is like. Chris rallies around the moment and celebrates Case having to eat some crow since he loves to celebrate his “I told you so’s” so much. The reality is, no one gets everything right, and some people deserve to know when they are wrong a heck of a lot more than others. Just ask the person who writes the show notes… lol We hit some key program notes and wind up with a big ask. We are looking for someone with a Detroit Lions party bus. We’re shooting a video (more info in the show) and need this bus to be a part of it. The bus’s owner can do the driving, we just need it as a prop for the video. Get in touch with us via Twitter or via the contact form on the website if you can help out – we’ve got something great in mind… Time To Take It Deep Next, the Detroit Lions Podcast tackles a difficult topic surrounding the team this year – unmet expectations. We discuss how we got our expectations so high, ask what we missed, and topic walk across various areas in which the team has met expectations. We ask whether expectations were realistic, whether we were lied to, and what warning signs were missed. This is a pretty meaty topic and we have a pretty robust discussion. There’s likely more to be covered here in the future, but for now, we feel it gets a solid treatment in the current context of the Lions situation. Moving ahead, we take a look at the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams and discuss where the team’s opportunities might lie.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at a surging Lions team that just beat the Carolina Panthers. Trying to predict this team is a fool’s errand this year. We also take a look at WRs, the defensive front seven, Sam Martin’s recent successes, and a whole lot more. We start the show with a call from one of our listeners again, good stuff from Roche down in Arizona. These calls give voice to Lions fans, and we will continue to allow our listeners to put *anyone* on blast every week. You call (929) 33-Lions, we’ll put it on the air. Go ahead and let it flow, it’s the best way to clear your mind and the air. Detroit Lions Podcast – Panthers Review From there we do a quick review of the Panthers game and look at a number of specifics related to the Lions play on both sides of the ball and what their win means for the team going forward. Of course the goal posts showed up again and are really vying for Defensive Player of the Year honors. The front seven played much better than their talent levels would suggest, and we talk about where that’s coming from and why it might have played out the way it did. We also talk about how things change over time and some of the significant changes that this team has experienced so far this year. The Detroit Lions Podcast also talks about who filled in for Golden Tate, how that might happen in the future, and what else we expect to see from the offense this year. We also discuss Sam Martin’s performance, and a whole lot more. Lastly we discuss the upcoming game against Chicago and what it’s going to take for the Lions to pull it out.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff “The Riz” Risdon for a raucous breakdown of the past week in Detroit Lions news. We manage to find a way to have some fun with the current situation while taking a deeper look at what ails the team and what it might take to fix things. We start the week out discussing the loss to the Bears, and basically what happened in that game. It was heartbreaking and we all expected more from the Lions this week. We also wonder what happened to the team that we saw beat the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers this year. The team is a bit bi-polar and we try to figure out why. We also give credit to some high character players the team has picked up in Damon “Snacks” Harrison and Devon Kennard. Great twitter follows that will help you feel a heck of a lot better about your team. Detroit Lions Podcast Weighs In On Coaching From there we dive into the Matt Patricia topic. It’s been a hot one as of late, and we talk about it from a number of different angles. Chris even manages to convince The Riz that we saw Jim Caldwell’s ceiling and that moving on was the right thing to do. From there the conversation hits a number of points and arguments for where we are and where we should go from here. Once we’re done with that one, we move on to another smoking hot subject these days… Matthew Stafford and whether he should remain a Detroit Lion. We here on the Detroit Lions Podcast stand behind Stafford, but this isn’t just a rhetorical conversation. We bring facts, data, and our patented snark to the discussion. There are a number of points to address here, and we try to cover all of them. After those conversations we take a look forward and determine how we might improve this year with what we have. Chris walks down the list and Riz reacts to a number of opportunities for the team to improve. The discuss the ins and outs of each approach and determine where things should go from here. From there the boys of the Detroit Lions Podcast go into the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. We try to help predict what you might see and what to expect. Also, the Riz takes us “Around The Division” for a look at what else is happening in the NFC North.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by our old friend, PunkRawkinTrev to conduct a live postgame therapy session for Lions fans after the Detroit Lions lost to the Chicago Bears today. This is one of those games that seemed to have really sucked the hope out of fans. The consensus is that this pretty much signals the end of any playoff hopes for this team in 2018. There are questions about the team from top to bottom. The boys take your calls and discuss what it means and what could happen next. This was one of those games that seems to happen every year. It’s the game that really signals that the team won’t find the success that fans so desperately crave. It’s been much harder for fans to deal with in 2018. Expectations were high. Our GM told us that a 9-7 record was unacceptable. We have a new coach who was bringing discipline and a work ethic to the team that is hadn’t had. Conditioning, drafting, scouting, everything was being changed and it was the Lions year to make a splash. Detroit Lions Podcast Resets Expectations None of that matters. Fans feel as though they were lied to. Expectations were set high and then dashed quickly. People don’t know who this team is, nor how to define success anymore. They want a winner, and all they see is massive failure, again. This game was the gut punch that fans who had been around awhile expected. The one they expect every year. So far, they are rewarded with that gut punch with more reliability than you’ll get out of any Ford vehicle. Matthew Stafford looked lost. The secondary looked lost. Everyone who had a coach looked lost. Interestingly, special teams performed well after they fired (and didn’t replace) the coach. Injuries bit the team in key locations. Marvin Jones was hurt. So was Kerryon Johnson. Kenny Golladay was dinged up. Darius Slay couldn’t play, and Sam Martin left the building in an ambulance for god’s sake. The entire day was a parade of headlines touting bad news and failures. This was a horrible game for the Lions, with massive implications for the season and the organization going forward. So we take your calls and conduct an intensive post-game therapy session to help you cope with the upcoming work week and purge the bitter taste that comes from a loss like this. Definitely a needed prescription. A hearty thank you to everyone who took the time to join us for the live post game version of the Detroit Lions Podcast!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case get together to talk about the Lions loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the new Friday show with the Riz, Jim Bob Cooter, Teez Tabor, Golden Tate, Matthew Stafford, the media and a whole lot more. This week, we set “Put ’em on Blast” aside and go right into the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. This one really took the wind out of the sails of a lot of Detroit Lions fans, but we’re here to help put things into perspective without pouring Kool-Aid that is too sweet. Chris does something he tends not to do and has an “I told you so” moment when he discusses Teez Tabor’s game. The boys break down that breakdown and also talk about Matthew Stafford and what the hell happened there. Can’t talk about that without bringing up Kelly Stafford’s Instagram interactions. On this topic, Chris finds a little nugget that no one else is talking about… Detroit Lions Podcast Welcomes Zach Zenner Back A Detroit Lions Podcast favorite, Zach Zenner, is back! We discuss his role now that Ameer Abdullah is gone. We also chat about the signing of Bruce Ellington and what he brings to the team. From there we go into the Detroit Lions firing of special teams coach Joe Marciano. We breakdown why it happened and what it means for the Lions in a broader sense. It feels like it’s time again to address the terrible state of the sports media in the city of Detroit. Chris and Case call it like they see it and take many of the members of the media to task. Of course, we also talk about one beat writer who does an excellent job. From there the boys of the Detroit Lions Podcast go into the upcoming game against Chicago. We try to help predict what you might see and what to expect. This is a critical game for our Lions, no doubt.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Sandman and Mike the Ambling Bastard to conduct a live postgame therapy session for Lions fans after the Detroit Lions lost to the Minnesota Vikings today. It was a tough game that has a number of implications. Also, the boys discuss what it means and take your calls. This was a game that the Lions needed to win. Their division record is going to be pivotal in their run to make the playoffs this year. This loss makes their path to the playoffs very narrow, and Chris, Sandman, and Mike discuss what that path might look like. Rest assured, it includes winning out against their divisional opponents for the rest of the season. Detroit Lions Podcast Discusses Lions Offensive Struggles We also spend some time discussing Jim Bob Cooter and his future with the team. His time here has not been marked by massive success and we describe what keeping him and canning him might look like. There are a number of issues involved with replacing an offensive coordinator, and we highlight the most important ones. Also, we take your calls and conduct our standard post-game therapy session to help you cope with the upcoming work week and bitter taste that comes from a loss like this.

This week we start a new show on the Detroit Lions Podcast that we plan on bringing to you every Friday. Jeff Risdon and Chris will be reviewing the big stories of the week and previewing the upcoming game. This week we talk about the Golden Tate trade and what it means to the Lions. We discuss how they may adjust and which players are going to need to step up. There’s a lot of angles to this, and Jeff doesn’t leave you wanting – he never does. The Detroit Lions Podcast With A Full Court Press The room formerly known as the “Dungeon of Doom” makes news again. This time Matt Patricia has to correct one of the beat writers’ posture. Very disrespectful. Actually, we discuss the situation and break things out much further than that individual story. From there we discuss the news about A’Shawn Robinson and his tirade in the locker room today. The info came from one of our favorite writers, Justin Rogers, and we think about some of the implications. Lastly, we take a look ahead to the game against the Vikings and tell you what to look for and how the Lions could win, and what might cause them to lose. This is a great opening episode if I say so myself (I do).

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case get together to talk about the Lions loss to the Seattle Seahawks, a new show that’s kicking off, Kerryon Johnson, Jim Bob Cooter, and of course, Golden Tate. This week, we start with some good “Put ’em on Blast” calls from a few of our listeners. Good content and a few hot takes in there that we discuss during the show. From there we go back and look at what we saw in the game against Seattle. Case doesn’t think the team played as bad as many do, while Chris tries to help people understand that the fact that the other teams in the division doing so poorly this week means the Lions squandered a real opportunity. It was a week in which we didn’t capitalize in a division that no one seems to be able to own as their own. The Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Golden Tate The boys then break into the Golden Tate trade situation. There are a lot of opinions here and there are a number of ways to analyze it. Chris decides that it comes down to a situation where you can fall on either side of the conversation depending on if you are thinking with your heart or your logical mind. Case makes a number of great points (as he is known to do), in the end the team moves onward and hopefully forward. From there the Detroit Lions Podcast goes into Jim Bob Cooter – we take a look at his performance, what it means for his future with the team, and we give him a grade. No need to hide behind rhetoric – we etch our opinions in stone and discuss Jim bob’s future with the team. We also spend some time talking about Kerryon Johnson and one of his key strengths over the Lions committee of backs, including LeGarrette Blount. From there we go “Around The Division” and let you know what’s happening in the NFC North and what it means to the Lions.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Sandman and Punk Rockin’ Trev to conduct a live postgame celebratory session for Lions fans after our boys beat the Miami Dolphins today. It was a great game with a bunch of takeaways to talk about. Detroit Lions Podcast Breaks It Down After 6 weeks of football, the Lions have recovered from their abysmal start and have come around to be right in the thick of the race for the lead of the NFC North. There’s still a lot of football to be played, but the Detroit Lions trajectory is definitely heading upward, their divisional record, and their record against common opponents is very strong. This team is quietly setting themselves up for a late season run at the divisional title and who knows what else beyond that. The team played extremely well in all phases of the game. They were able to overcome a few shoddy calls that may have derailed them historically and show the world that they “have the right stuff” to beat good football teams. Matthew Stafford, Kerryon Johnson, Jim Bob Cooter, and Matt Patricia are all trending in the right direction for this team according to the Detroit Lions Podcast. In the end, the scoreboard would tell you the game was closer than it really was, but there were another 8 points that very easily should have been up there had the zebras been a little more consistent in their calls. Nevertheless a win over the Miami Dolphins (who took out the Chicago Bears last week) is a good strong win in the Lions record book.

The Detroit Lions Podcast Returns In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case close out the Lions bye week and look ahead to the game against the Miami Dolphins. This week, we give “Put ’em on Blast” a bye week, but open up with a hilarious opening line for a new segment called, “This Week In Unnecessary Censorship”. Derived from the Jimmy Kimmel bit, our first foray into the realm is an instant classic. From there we share our frustration with the appropriation of organic culture by rent seekers who tend to ruin everything. Yes, the Turkey Hole makes another appearance. With the bye week shenanigans out of the way the Detroit Lions Podcast breaks into more direct Lions news. We discuss the offensive line and the great job they are doing and follow that up with a discussion about Jamal Agnew’s injury and who we would like to see stand in his place (Hint: Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Powell make an appearance). From there we do an in-depth “Around The Division” segment in which we analyze the Packers situation and how they found official help yet again. Also, things aren’t looking great for Aaron Rodgers. Chris and Case disagree on the Vikings trajectory. The Detroit Lions Podcast crew end with a “we’ll see” stalemate. We also use the Chicago Bears’ debacle in Miami to discuss what to look for when the Lions visit. The Bears seem like the biggest load of fool’s gold yet… Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming Detroit Lions Podcast!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are joined by Jeff (The Riz) Risdon to break down this week in Detroit Lions news. Coming off a big win over the Green Bay Packers and heading into the Bye week at just the right time shows that things are finally starting to align in the Lions’ favor. We start the show with more listener calls, not nearly as much heat as in the past, but good stuff from our listeners nonetheless. These calls give voice to Lions fans, and we will continue to allow our listeners to put *anyone* on blast every week. You call (929) 33-Lions, we’ll put it on the air. Go ahead and vent, it’s the only way to clear the air. The Lions Beat The Green Bay Packers From there we go into game review mode. Any time the Detroit Lions prevail over the Green Bay Packers (FTP) is a great time and this one was no different. We talk about whether this was a Lions win, a Packers loss, a little of both, and whether or not that conversation really even matters. No matter your thoughts on this, it was a great win. From there we talk about the Lions sack numbers and the pressure generated by the front seven. Do coverage sacks count as sacks? Should they? How should we think about this Detroit Lions Defense? The Detroit Lions Podcast will talk about all that and peer into the Lions’ future to see how things are lining up for Free Agency and the Draft and how that might help this team. Make sure to take the names of those who say that Bob Quinn can’t draft – it will be fun to rub their noses in it in the future. Kenny Golladay. Does he need a nickname? Why are people trying so hard to put a label on him? These things need to happen organically. Case just about loses his shit when we work through some of the nickname suggestions that have popped up recently. In the end, Chris likes to think he’s got the best names so far. Make sure to listen closely to the show – the names “Smash” or “Punch” are likely the best that have popped up so far. Its related to Haha Clinton-Dix comments about Golladay after last week’s game. We also discuss Ziggy’s injury situation, and Case takes us ‘Around The Division’. Dean Blandino Joins The Detroit Lions Podcast After all that, longtime friend of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Dean Blandino joins the boys for a heck of a chat. We cover a lot of really good content about the rules, calls that have been made, bad calls that have affected the Lions, and fan the flames of a new Twitter beef between Dean and former NFL official and Rules Analyst for NBC, Terry McAulay. We expect a total blood feud here. Fox vs. NBC – Game On!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff “The Riz” Risdon for a look at the 1-3 Lions, their performance against the Dallas Cowboys, a breakdown of the game, and a look ahead at their next match-up against the Green Bay Packers. We start the Detroit Lions Podcast with calls from our listeners again, this time they put the team and the officials “On Blast”. There isn’t a whole lot to argue with in here, Lions fans again have some difficult pills to swallow. These calls give voice to Lions fans, and we will continue to allow our listeners to put *anyone* on blast every week. You call (929) 33-Lions, we’ll put it on the air. Go ahead and vent, it’s the only way to clear the air. The Detroit Lions Podcast Looks Back From there we go into game review mode. We dissect the Lions and Cowboys game and discuss what went wrong, and why. While it was a loss, we played the Cowboys to within two points on their home field. It was a game we could (and should) have won, but let slip through our hands. We also talk about the development of a few players. Specifically, Kenny Golladay and Jarrad Davis. There’s a lot to feel good about here. While Davis has some issues, he’s shown a great deal of growth just since training camp, much less year over year. We predict where his ceiling might be before we get giddy about Kenny Golladay. The Riz laments our lack of usage of Kenny in the red zone – and yet again, he’s right. After that, the Detroit Lions Podcast looks ahead to the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers. We discuss the Lions current injury situation and what it will take for the Lions to beat the Pack.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Mike ‘The Ambling Bastard’ to conduct a live postgame therapy session for Lions fans frustrated by the loss that the Detroit Lions suffered at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys today. Coming off of their big win against the Patriots, hopes were high for a big win this week. Unfortunately the Cowboys, Lions, and the officials did their best to ensure the even Matthew Stafford and his late-game heroics wouldn’t be enough. Detroit Lions Podcast Postgame Breakdown Highlights of the game include Matthew Stafford’s play, Golden Tate, and Kenny Golladay. Low point were the performances by Jamal Agnew, and the Lions run defense. I’ll have to add that there was some highly questionable officiating on the field today – something Lions fans have become all too accustomed to. In the end, it was a close game that had the Lions in the lead until a last second kick put the Cowboys over the Lions by two points. Heartbreaking, yet still a winnable game.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down this week in Detroit Lions news. Game three saw a shocking turn around for the franchise and turned the pessimism surrounding the team on its head. We discuss the whether or not this was a fluke or a sign of things to come. Jeff Risdon of course joins us for his insight as well. We start the Detroit Lions Podcast with more listener calls, this time in response to the Pats game. “Put ’em on Blast” had a record number of call ins, which we hope continues. These calls give voice to Lions fans, and we will continue to allow our listeners to put *anyone* on blast every week. You call (929) 33-Lions, we’ll put it on the air. Go ahead and vent, it’s the only way to clear the air. The Detroit Lions Podcast Breaks Down The New England Patriots From there we go into game review mode. Looking at how the win against the New England Patriots exceeded expectations. It wasn’t perfect, but it was damned near close, and we break down everything that went right for the team. Credit goes out to guys like Theo Riddick, who has not always gotten the benefit of the doubt from us, and Kerryon Johnson. Big credit to Darius Slay, Quandre Diggs, and the rest of the secondary, who truly were the stars of the game as well. More praise is also due to Matt Patricia for a well called and well-played game. A specific emphasis is put on the rest of the season and expectations for the team. We look at continued injury issues for upcoming opponents, both in the NFC North and league-wide. On that topic, the Dallas Cowboys poor performance against the Seattle Seahawks is discussed. We also consider the effect of the loss of starting LB Lee as the team goes on the road to Dallas next week. After all that, it’s time for Riz’s wisdom with Jeff Risdon on the Detroit Lions Podcast. He talks Lions offensive line, the reputation of the team around the league, and what the game against Dallas holds.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down this week in Detroit Lions news. Game two was much improved over game one, but definitely not without its mistakes. The Lions went down early in the second half and some late game heroics got them within striking distance, but they couldn’t close the deal. In this episode, discuss the Lions players, coaches, and fans. Of course, in our newest segment, we let our listeners put the team on blast. Jeff Risdon – The Riz – also joins for further analysis. We start the show with more listener calls, this time in response to the 49ers game. “Put ’em on Blast” is now Chris’s favorite segment. These calls give voice to Lions fans, and we will continue to allow our listeners to put *anyone* on blast every week. You call (929) 33-Lions, we’ll put it on the air. Go ahead and vent, it’s the only way to clear the air. From there we go into game review mode. Looking back at the loss to the San Francisco 49ers wasn’t nearly as painful as reviewing the Jets game. There are a number of things that need work, but overall it was a much better outing. From there we discuss a number of individual player efforts and talk about where things are working and where they aren’t. Detroit Lions Podcast Spark Plug Award Winner We have to highlight LeGarrette Blount and his big show of heart this week. His big push on Elijah Lee after a perceived late hit on Matthew Stafford wound up in his ejection. Normally something like that would be perceived as undisciplined, but it provided a spark for the team who scored 14 points to none after that incident. After the game, Kelly Stafford came out supporting LeGarrette for standing up for Matthew. Standing up for a quarterback like that is a heck of a way to rally a team, and LeGarrette might have just created a turning point for the Detroit Lions. We talk salary cap (special thanks to Scott Warheit for his cap analysis) and what next year might look like for the Lions. A completely different situation than we are used to. Of course it comes with its own special set of problems. Those are good problems to have. We also discuss the injury situation, preview the game against the Patriots, and Case takes us ‘Around The Division’ in Detroit Lions Podcast tradition. Lastly, click on Case’s Lions sweater and check out this amazing line! The Riz Returns After all that, it’s time for Riz’s wisdom with Jeff Risdon. We discuss the improvements we’ve seen from week one to week two, Matthew Stafford and his problems, and what Josh Gordon means to the Patriots. We also try to figure out whether we are going to see Count Chocula or Count Dracula. That part alone is worth the listen.
