The Detroit Lions Podcast

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, 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!

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.
