Ep: 328 – Detailing Jared Goff – Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 325 – Senior Bowl Day 1 Film Review – Detroit Lions Podcast
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. Be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications on our YouTube channel for the latest information from the Senior Bowl all week.

Ep: 323 – Dan Campbell Presser Reaction – Detroit Lions Podcast
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. This also makes next week’s 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.

Ep: 321 – Brad Holmes Hired As Lions General Manager – Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 320 – Lions Hiring Process Heats Up! – Detroit Lions Podcast
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!

Detroit Lions Podcast Laying The Groundwork
What a season it’s been. More and more Lions fans are learning why we love the off-season so much more than the regular season. There’s a lot of news and info coming our way, from a new General Manager and Head Coach, to Senior Bowl, the Combine, Free Agency, all culminating in the fun and excitement of the NFL Draft. Lots of big things coming in Lions news over the next 4 months, and let’s not forget about the playoffs.

Ep: 318 – Minnesota Vikings Post Game – Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 317 – Lions v. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Detroit Lions Podcast
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. We continue to grow as a result of all of your listenership and telling friends about us. Thank you everyone for being so amazing, and we look forward to bringing you even more in 2021 – the plans get bigger and bigger…

EP: 316 – Tennessee Titans Post Game – Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 315 -Tennessee Titans Game Preview – Detroit Lions Podcast
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.
