The Man Who Built Detroit's Defense Now Wants to Break It - EP 053 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aaron Glenn comes back to Ford Field on Sunday, but this time on the other sideline. We’ve burned the Bills tape and decided to break down how to apply the learnings to how the Lions will hopefully bounce back vs. The New York Jets. In 2024, Glenn kept an injury-wrecked Lions defense in the top 10 in scoring. Then he went back to the Jets, the team that drafted him in 1994, and went 3-14 in his first year after an 0-7 start. His rebuild looks a lot like Dan Campbell's early years in Detroit. He
Lions Overtime Survival: Grading the Cracks Before Buffalo - EP 052 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Detroit survived the Saints, but survival exposed real fault lines heading into a brutal short week at Buffalo's brand-new Highmark Stadium. We break down Kelvin Sheppard's aggressive blitz packages that rattled Tyler Shough early, and why the coverage behind those blitzes — 14 different defensive backs, zero tight end answer, fundamental tackling misses — has to tighten up fast against Josh Allen and a Joe Brady offense that just hung 36 on Houston. The offensive line gets its flowers for an en
One Bold Lions Prediction We're Willing to Bet On (And the Proof Behind It) - EP 051 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the 2026 season kicking off, DBC, DK, and Chris put their analytical reputations on the line with their bold individual predictions for this year's Detroit Lions. Each host brings their own case — grounded in training camp observations, roster construction, and the Brad Holmes standard of asset management — to defend calls that range from roster battles and breakout candidates to coaching trajectories and postseason outcomes. Time to bring yours to the chat. No spoilers here — you'll have t
Detroit's Most Confusing Cutdown Day: Inside the Roster Nobody Predicted - EP 050 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Lions finally set their 53-man roster, and it wasn't the roster most analysts projected. Greg Dortch? Gone — but the reasoning behind each cut reveals more about Brad Holmes' roster-building philosophy than the moves themselves suggest at first glance. We start at quarterback, where Josh Dobbs' clean preseason finale settled a debate that was never really close, before moving into the running back room, where the surprise retention of both Jacob Saylors and Jabari Small(?)l has fueled a comp
Lions Cutdown Day Preview: 5 Decisions That Actually Define This Roster - EP 049 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Detroit's roster cut to 53 landing this Saturday, Chris, DBC and Mike work through the real bubble decisions shaping this year's team, grounded in preseason film and practice reports rather than reactionary takes. The crew starts with the backup quarterback math: Josh Dobbs' turnover-heavy outing against a steady, mistake-free performance from Altmyer, and why current projections don't have Detroit keeping three quarterbacks behind Jared Goff. From there they move to the interior line, wher
