The 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! Big News On YouTube!

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. Check Us Out On YouTube!

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.

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. Check Us Out On YouTube!

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. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the Lions & Packers game, the hiring of Chris Spielman, some insane Lions stats, Matthew Stafford, Kenny Golladay, and look ahead to the Tennessee Titans. It’s a long show packed with a ton of information. Tennessee Titans Trap Many times in the NFL, teams are lulled into a sense of accomplishment in which they look past their next opponent. They believe they are good enough to beat a team that’s down on its luck, and don’t take them seriously. The Tennessee Titans are poised for just such an opportunity in their game against the Lions. A home game for the Tennessee Titans makes this the perfect setup. Mike Vrabel is a smart coach, and I don’t expect that to be the modus operandi for the Tennessee Titans this week, but as Lions fans, we can have hope, right? Also, the Lions played the Packers pretty tough, and have a team that is playing hard and fighting for interim coach, Darrell Bevell. It will definitely be an interesting game, The Tennessee Titans are a tough team, but if things land just right, we could see the Lions pull one out in an unlikely situation. Detroit Lions Podcast Loves The Chris Spielman Hire It was announced shortly before we recorded that the Lions had hired Chris Spielman as their “Special Assistant to Chairman and President & CEO”.  There are a lot of “ands” in that title, so it sounds like a pretty big role. Its big enough that Spielman immediately resigned from calling games for Fox and jumped in with a fire and passion that might be just right for this team right now.  We also discuss Matthew Stafford’s surrounding cast throughout his career and some talk about what might be going on with Kenny Golladay.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman share the good, the bad, and the ugly around the Detroit Lions loss to the Green Bay Packers. To be fair, it was a fun game and the Lions were competitive, but the Green Bay Packers has just a little more in the tank (with some help from the refs) and got it done. Green Bay Packers Games Have a Common Theme There is always controversy when the Lions play the Green Bay Packers. For some reason the officials seem to do their part to ensure a Packers victory when these teams meet. While it wasn’t as egregious a performance as the face mask game, the Lions wound up with an injured quarterback as a result of a terrible call on replay. Marvin caught it, we all know it and saw it, but evidently the officials felt that the Green Bay Packers needed a little extra help. Detroit Lions Podcast Still Saw A Fun Game For the Lions to only lose this game by a touchdown was surprising. Many teams have had 40 burgers hung on them by the Packers this year, and the Lions were able (with a hobbled defense) to keep the game competitive until the very end, and were never really out of it. The other thing that stands out, this was a fun game to watch. It’s been a long time since the Lions were this fun to watch, even in a loss this was a fun game for Lions fans. It’s something that we didn’t really notice until the Bears game, but Lions football had really become a chore to watch. These last two games have been extremely enjoyable.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and Tony Ortiz preview the Lions game against the Green Bay Packers. With a late game on Sunday the Green Bay Packers are coming to Detroit with Aaron Rodgers and hope to lay more of their brand of dominating football on the Lions. The Lions are fielding a number of injuries, some key, which isn’t going to help their chances. Green Bay Packers Are Favorites The Green Bay Packers are bringing a 9-3 record into Detroit to play a 5-7 Lions team lead by an interim coach who found a divisional victory in his first game since being promoted. This week is a whole different ball of wax, and the Lions are going to need every bounce to go their way in order to put the Packers down. Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones are at the top of their game right now, and Davante Adams could be the best wide receiver in the league at this point. The ‘Smith brothers’ on defense present a formidable challenge for the Lions offense, and help make the Green Bay Packers a total package. Detroit Lions Podcast Sets It Up The Lions have played the Packers pretty toughly the last few years, so there’s still hope for the Lions in this match-up. It’s not guaranteed to be all cheese wheels, but the Lions needs things to go their way. We discuss the injury report, key match-ups, keys to the game, the Vegas odds, and predict the final outcome. We dive in on the migraine vs. concussion issue with D’Andre Swift, and also discuss a bit about a missing key ability for Kenny Golladay – availability. Also, we dive in on the NFC Player of the Week honors from last week, and why (or why not) Matthew Stafford deserved it.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Detroit Lions news and information. We break down the win against the Chicago Bears, a look at a series of individual player performances, an analysis of the coaching change, a look ahead to the Green Bay Packers, and we take you ‘Around The Division’. Detroit Lions Podcast Coaching Analysis The Chicago Bears couldn’t hold the Lions down, and after some second half adjustments, the Lions defense finally showed up to a game. Coaches Darrell Bevell and Cory Undlin made some interesting changes to the scheme that gave the players more freedom to utilize their talents and to give fans an entertaining game against the Chicago Bears. It was finally a fun game to watch for Lions fans. The win certainly didn’t hurt but what a difference a coach makes to the enjoyment of a game. We discuss what else it might take for Interim Coach Darrell Bevell to hold down the head coaching position, and make a comparison to a much-loved Lions coach, Wayne Fontes. It was an entertaining game that one can’t help but think had a different outcome that it would have with the previous coaching regime. Green Bay Packers Are In The Way We look ahead to the Green Bay Packers knowing full well that they are one of the best teams in the NFC. There seems to be that little fact that the Lions have consistently played them very closely over the last few years, and the Lions players have a lot to play for. Getting a coach that makes things so much better and helps them have fun with the game they grew up with means a lot to a group of guys like this, and I’d be hard-pressed to say they don’t want to win for the guy that improved their lives so much. We don’t predict the Lions to win, but there’s that small glimmer of hope, and if they were to pull one out against the Green Bay Packers – just wow. After two division victories, Darrell Bevell could be on his way to his first permanent coaching position.
