Ranking the NFC North LBs, DBs, and coaches
On Monday evening, the PODcast crew finished our NFC North positional rankings. Previously… On this episode, we debated the division’s best linebacker room, secondary, and coaching staff. At linebacker, it’s clear the Lions have the best individual linebacker in Jack Campbell, but with so many questions behind him, is it fair to rank Detroit No. […]

2026 Detroit Lions 53-man roster prediction: Pre-training camp
We’re just over a week away from the Detroit Lions opening training camp for the 2026 season. With that in mind, I figured now was a good time to give my own perspective on the team’s 90-man roster and what it may look like after the dust of camp and the preseason has settled. Obviously, […]
Discussion: How many Detroit Lions rookies will start by the end of 2026?

Discussion: What defines a ‘successful’ 2026 Detroit Lions season?
“Super Bowl or bust.” It’s a phrase that just about every NFL team adopts every season. Anything short of that is considered a failure by most team standards.

Discussion: What is the biggest difference between the 2026 and 2025 Detroit Lions?
The Detroit Lions are hoping to put a disappointing 2025 season behind them.

Lions News: Cap expert suggests Sam LaPorta could fetch franchise tag in 2027
