  • Disappointing

    Derry sucks, he sucked when he was on the radio locally and he sucks hosting this pod. Hopefully the powers that be get us a host that isn’t trash sooner than later.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FRUSTRATION: Detroit Lions Fans EXPRESS Dismay as Lions Face Patriots in Germany
Q: What are the early-season implications of Lions vs. Bills Week 2 on Detroit's trajectory?
The hosts and Nick Schuch agree it's a meaningful test that could set the tone for the season, with continuity on Detroit's side and the Bills' transitional elements providing a clear measure of where Detroit stands in a competitive AFC/NFC landscape.
BREAKTHROUGH: Can Detroit Lions' Terrion Arnold DELIVER on NFL Hype & Silence All Doubts in 2026?
Q: What stood out to you about Terrion Arnold's approach in training camp and how it translates to 2026 expectations?
The hosts note Arnold's willingness to learn, his respect for veteran players, and the intensity he brings to practice, which they believe can translate into improved on-field consistency and confidence in year three.
SHOCKER: Detroit Lions FACE Critical Draft Decision—Will Brad Holmes CHOOSE a Game-Changing Tackle?
Q: Do you believe Kadyn Proctor will be there at 17 and how would that pick work for the Lions?
Yes, I think Proctor will be there at 17, and it would fit a strategy where Detroit strengthens the tackle position early and then leverages the edge group later in the second round, with the caveat that some see him as a strong first-round candidate but others question his fit depending on weight and development.
SHOCKER: Detroit Lions FACE Critical Draft Decision—Will Brad Holmes CHOOSE a Game-Changing Tackle?
Q: What about the tackles at 17, who would you like if four tackles are gone and where does Blake Miller fit in?
If four tackles are gone, the discussion shifts to players like Kadyn Proctor remaining in range and the possibility of Vega Ioane sliding into guard, but Proctor is still viewed as a viable 17 option; overall the take is that 17 is a sweet spot for Proctor and the Lions should prioritize an offensive tackle at 17 while keeping 50 in mind for edge options.
MYSTERY: Detroit Lions Hide Top 30 Draft Visits, is Brad Holmes Set to SURPRISE at Pick 17?
Q: Where do you think Brad Holmes will go at 17 and who could be there for him?
Holmes could surprise by selecting a top tackle or edge rusher, with Mel as a possibility; others like Kadyn Proctor or Blake Miller are discussed as likely fits given the board, while a trade-back could be considered to add third-round value.
