The Detroit Lions Podcast

The offseason is underway and in full swing. The next stop for the NFL is the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. 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. We’ve got a slightly new look (with more to come) and a whole lot more in another great show for viewers and listeners of the Detroit Lions Podcast. Big News On YouTube!

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!

We’re back in studio after a long week at the Senior Bowl. The Lions news hasn’t stopped, and neither have we – I mean a little cold rain couldn’t stop us, why would anything else? Its Super Bowl week and we get to do a little victory lap around those who said that they were the only credible voices of Lions news. Look at us, still breaking real stories, and still winning. Detroit Lions Podcast Named The New Offensive Coordinator The Detroit Lions made official what we started telling you in November, Ben Johnson has been named the team’s new Offensive Coordinator. As we said, he was just given the contract that goes with the title, but he’s a hot young mind in the NFL and a lot of people are going to be surprised by what they see from him. We’ll talk about Aubrey Pleasant, his interview process and how things are unfolding, do a wrap on the Senior Bowl, talk Super Bowl and a whole lot more! Big News On YouTube!

This is it. The last stop before we hit the Senior Bowl. Dan Campbell and crew will be there for the entire week, with Brad Holmes joining a little bit later. We’ll cover the why’s and how’s on that this week. We’ll also talk about Jerry Jacobs’ surprising, but delightful tweet about us. Say a lot about him as a man. Detroit Lions Podcast Senior Bowl Coverage We’ll take a minute to outline what to look for in our coverage at Senior Bowl this year. How you can find it, where to look, and when to look for it. There will be a lot, so be ready.

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!

The 2021 NFL Season has ended for the Lions. Players have cleaned out their lockers, turned in their gear, held their final pressers, and are readying themselves for their respective off-season routines. They bid us a fond farewell with one final FTP, and its in that spirit that we take a look back and perform a retrospective on the 2021 Detroit Lions. Detroit Lions Podcast Loves Senior Bowl After our retrospective, we’ll begin our look ahead to the 2022 Senior Bowl. News broke this week about who would be coaching the Senior Bowl this year, and we’ll talk a little bit about what we’ve got going and set everything up for our talk about prospects which is set to begin next week.

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!
