Locked On Lions - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Lions

Matt Dery spotlights the Lions’ strategy at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, analyzing positions of need like offensive line, edge rusher, and interior defensive line. The episode features insights from NFL.com’s Nick Shook, who discusses rising prospects, all-combine standouts, and why Detroit’s offensive struggles in 2025 may spark a draft focus on the trenches. Hot topics include the "core four" of Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, Jack Campbell, and Brian Branch, with extension talks potentially reshaping Detroit’s roster. The show breaks down key debates on prioritizing future stars, offensive depth, and why calculated moves—not splashy free-agent signings—remain Brad Holmes’ trademark.

 

Can the Lions reinforce their offensive line and secure their future at tackle while still contending now? Don’t miss this comprehensive breakdown of Detroit’s draft strategy and team-building philosophy. #FIRSTLISTEN

Detroit Lions with some minor changes to their coaching staff ahead of the 2026 NFL season. With Director of Sports Performance Mike Clark retiring, questions swirl around changes—or lack thereof—in the Lions’ strength and conditioning department. Offensive strategy takes center stage as Drew Petzing steps in as offensive coordinator, earning high praise from Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson, while Mike Kafka assumes the key role of passing game coordinator.

 

Matt Dery breaks down how these moves could redefine the Lions’ identity on both sides of the ball, explores Gregg Rosenthal’s NFL Top 101 Free Agents list snubbing linebacker Alex Anzalone, and examines pressure points for Kelvin Sheppard and the defense after last year’s disappointing 9-8 finish. With insights on homegrown talent, free agency targets, and potential draft directions, this episode sets the stage for major storylines as the Lions gear up for the new season. Will these changes be enough to spark a playoff resurgence? #firstlisten
