  • Too Focused on Negativity

    Outside of the podcasts when Jeff is on, these are becoming increasingly more difficult to listen to for me. I now anticipate that these podcasts will be negative; regardless of a Lions loss or victory. And it doesn’t feel like I have been proven wrong in the last few months of listening to these podcasts.

    The hosts are talented, and hard-working, and care about the Lions. I have never doubted that.

    Also, these are the best Lions teams of many of our lifetimes, and, personally, I am going... more

  • The Ris

    This show has maintained honesty and integrity. He provides data and expertise in his takes then breaks it down in that detail. He’s the guy you’d be happy to sit and talk to about the Lions anywhere over a beer. He brings in guests and doesn’t mind disagreeing because he appreciates a different view and is willing to discuss it and ask questions. His guests are knowledgeable and he comes at the topic from all angles. This is the best Lions podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Daily DLP: Lions Vs. Vikings Preview With Andrew Harbaugh - Detroit Lions Podcast
Q: The Vikings offense is, we've seen worse, like we play Miami after y'all, and Miami is definitely worse, but it's not great right now. Some of it has been they don't run the ball particularly well, they don't throw the ball on first down well at all, they have the lowest completion percentage of any team throwing on first down. Whether it's Kyler or lack of communication, coordination, just give me an overview of why the unit is struggling the way it is, because they are in the 20s of just about everything, or 30s in just about everything.
Harbaugh points to Minnesota's inconsistent commitment to the run, injuries on the offensive line, and uneven quarterback play. He says the Vikings need more than field goals to sustain their unbeaten start.
Daily DLP: Lions Vs. Vikings Preview With Andrew Harbaugh - Detroit Lions Podcast
Q: Is that sustainable? Is that something that, do they fear that because they, like there's just only so many ways you can crack an egg that it's going to get on film and teams are going to get savvier to it and start picking some of these things up?
Harbaugh says Minnesota's defensive depth, especially at safety, cornerback, and linebacker, gives Flores many versatile players to move around, making the pressure scheme more sustainable.
Daily DLP w/ Dr. Liao: Breaking down Lions medicals ahead of Packers in Week 7
Q: If you're watching the game and you're looking to see if Brian Branch is limited in any ways, what should we be looking for as he comes back from the Achilles?
Liao expects Branch to start and play about 90 to 100 percent of snaps. A notably lower snap count could indicate fatigue, and his history of cramping is also worth monitoring.
Daily DLP w/ Dr. Liao: Breaking down Lions medicals ahead of Packers in Week 7
Q: Anything at all coming out of the bye that concerns you with any of the people who are... I'll ask about Rakestraw because it appears like he's going to be coming back. Any worry that he cannot play in a reserve cornerback role?
Liao says Rakestraw's limited participation and hamstring injury make Sunday uncertain, and recommends a gradual return to avoid aggravation.
Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers Post Game Show - Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts
Q: What allowed you guys to have that kind of performance today?
Jared Goff says the defense has good players, is making plays on downfield passes and is growing more confident; he also says the offense needs to capitalize on opportunities to extend its lead.
