The latest edition of the Detroit Lions Podcast is now available. This one is in mailbag form, with logistical difficulties preventing a live show this week.
In this mailbag, I fielded questions from the podcast’s Patreon Slack chat in advance of training camp. Among them:
- What’s happening at off-ball linebacker, what should we be looking for, and who is on the hot seat?
- What are potential offensive wrinkles we might see from Ben Johnson?
- Breaking down the TE competition entering camp
- Will defenses figure out what the Detroit Lions are doing on offense?
- Who are the top breakout candidates?
- What should fans expect from Levi Onwuzurike?
- Could another kicker be on the way?
All that and more get covered.
This was recorded Wednesday morning, before the Denzel Mims trade and the release of kicker Michael Badgley. Both of those topics do come up, and the Badgley take here does not age well. C’est la vie!
