Ep 263: Last Detroit Lions Pre-Draft Blast – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and they deliver your last look at the Detroit Lions positions before the draft. Not just player positions, but the state of Bob Quinn’s draft room and quarterbacks who are lower than top three on the list. 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.

Ep: 262 – Is It Tua Late For The Lions? – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 261 – Consensus NFL Mock Draft Crossover – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 260 – Detroit Lions Talk With Scott Bischoff – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 259 – 2020 Detroit Lions Free Agency and Draft – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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!

Ep: 258 – Detroit Lions First 24 Hours Of Free Agency – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 257 – Lions Last Stop Ahead Of Free Agency – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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. Lastly Case takes you ‘Around The Division’ before breaking into a beautiful rendition of Sweet Caroline – not to be missed!

Ep: 256 – 2020 NFL Combine Wrap-up – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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. There’s a lot to love in this episode.

Ep: 255 – Lions And Stafford Trade Bunk – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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.

Ep: 254 – Former Detroit Lions Head Coach Wayne Fontes – The Detroit Lions Podcast
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.
