Bish & Brown LA Rams Preview – Detroit Lions Podcast

We’ve finally made it to the opening week of the NFL! That means we’ll see our Detroit Lions play the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field on Sunday night. The Lions have been heavily discussed this off-season as one of the best teams in the NFL and potentially a team that could win the Super Bowl.

Taking it one game at a time, Scott Bischoff and I return on the Detroit Lions Podcast! For our first episode of the 2024 season, we give you our game preview between the Rams and Lions on Sunday night!

On this episode, Scott and I discuss the following:

  • What’s the Lions passing attack going to look like this season?
  • Is Jahmyr Gibbs going to take the expected step forward in this offense?
  • The defense added a ton of good pieces. Can this unit put it all together?
  • What to expect from the Rams and Lions?
  • All that and more!

Detroit Lions Podcast: Projecting the final roster and bubble battles

Detroit Lions Podcast: Projecting the final roster and bubble battles ahead of the NFL’s cutdown deadline

The latest live episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast is now available to watch or stream. Recorded on Tuesday night with one week to go until the Lions, like all NFL teams, are required to trim the roster from 90 to 53 players, this episode focuses on the cutdowns.

There are a few bubble battles around the Lions roster, and that includes how many players to keep at one position or another to make the most effective 53-man roster.

Which guys played their way up? Who started camp strong but faded once the preseason fired up? Who is still playing for status in the final preseason game against the Steelers?

All that, some recent injury updates and transactions, and a whole lot more.

  • Jake Fromm?

In conjunction with the Detroit Lions Podcast, I recorded a video summary of what I saw and heard during the second Detroit Lions training camp practice session. The video was recorded just after Thursday’s practice in Allen Park.

The focus here is on three of the most hot-button players on the roster:

  • Terrion Arnold
  • James Houston
  • Jameson Williams

All three had interesting days in the training camp session, which featured some special guests that piqued interest as well. They weren’t the only players who turned in notable performances, and the coverage swings around to a few other key observations, too.

The latest in the series of video previews, in conjunction with the Detroit Lions Podcast, for Detroit Lions training camp covers the running back room.

The Lions are set with one of the best one-two punches in the league with the tandem of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. They could each threaten to top 1,000 rushing yards in 2024 and this video helps break down how it can happen.

Newcomer Sione Vaki will fit somewhere into the mix, and how does that impact the likes of Craig Reynolds on the depth chart? Can Zonovan Knight return from injury and provide a spark? Is there any real hope of Jermar Jefferson finally making an impact?

All that and more in the latest positional preview from the DLP.

Video: Previewing the Lions defensive tackle position ahead of training camp

Video: Previewing the Lions defensive tackle position ahead of training camp via the Detroit Lions Podcast

One of the most revamped positions on the entire Detroit Lons roster is at defensive tackle. A unit that was solid against the run but offered little pass rush other than Alim McNeill in 2023 (or 2022, or 2021 for that matter) has some fresh faces and veteran reinforcements as the Lions head to training camp.

The latest video from the Detroit Lions Podcast breaks down the starting situation, the depth, newcomers, which player is on the spot and more.

Consider this a more extrapolated companion piece to the recent written breakdown and preview here.

The latest in the series of Lions positional breakdowns from the Detroit Lions Podcast is now available. In this episode, the focus turns to the wide receiver room.

The Lions enter training camp with 12 receivers on the 90-man roster, and the top three spots are pretty well established. It all starts with All-Pro Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is the focal point of the passing offense. Jameson Williams is being relied upon to make a big jump in his third year, while Kalif Raymond continues to fly under the radar despite some impressive production in his three years in Detroit.

After that, Detroit has one of the bigger camp battles set to fill the final two or three spots and a lot of divergent styles of players looking to earn those roles. Who will emerge from a group that includes Donovan Peoples-Jones, Daurice Fountain, Tom Kennedy, Antoine Green and others? How much does special teams play factor in?

All that gets broken down in this solo video. An audio-only version will be available from your favorite podcast provider, too.
