Ep: 283 – Lions To The Green Bay Packers – Detroit Lions Podcast

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. 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!

Ep: 282 – Lions & Chicago Bears Post Game – Detroit Lions Podcast

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.

Ep: 281 – Lions vs. Chicago Bears Preview – Detroit Lions Podcast

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!

Ep: 280 – Lions Pick Their 53 – The Detroit Lions Podcast

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!

Ep: 279 – Lions Tik Tok Til Season Starts – Detroit Lions Podcast

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!

Ep: 278 – Lions Camp Steps Up! – The Detroit Lions Podcast

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.

Ep: 277 – Lions Camp ft. Jim Brandstatter – The Detroit Lions Podcast

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.

Ep: 276 – Lions Ramping Up – The Detroit Lions Podcast

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.

Ep: 275 – Lions Sick Cat Scare – The Detroit Lions Podcast

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.

Ep: 274 – Lions Training Camp Begins – The Detroit Lions Podcast

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.
