Detroit Lions Podcast bye week video mailbag

Detroit Lions Podcast bye week video mailbag covering the Lions’ 3-1 start and where they can go from here

The Lions don’t play in Week 5, which means it’s a great time for a video mailbag via the Detroit Lions Podcast.

This one focused primarily on the first four weeks of Lions football and the path to being 3-1. From grading coaches to potential practice squad call-ups and progress reports on rookies, the questions cover a wide range of Detroit Lions topics.

Recorded Thursday afternoon, the mailbag will help get through a weekend without Lions football.

With a bit of a lull between the owners meetings and the 2024 NFL draft, it felt like a good time to post a mailbag episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast. Logistics have prevented a live show, but we’re still cranking out Lions info and analysis.

You’ve heard it before and you’ll continue to hear it throughout the offseason. The Minnesota Vikings are at a crossroads with a pivotal offseason in 2024.

The questions that they are facing are boundless and plentiful. Will they re-sign Kirk Cousins? Does Justin Jefferson get his earned contract extension? Which of the three free-agent edge rushers end up re-signing? Is Harrison Smith going to retire?

Those are just the biggest of the many questions that general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell need to answer before the Vikings kick off the start of the regular season.

Going into the offseason, it was time for a mailbag. What questions did the fans have about the team and how those potential decisions could shape the team moving forward.

7 burning questions about the Minnesota Vikings

From Justin Jefferson to Alexander Mattison, fans had burning questions and we answered them

The Minnesota Vikings are quite the fascinating team going into their week 10 matchup. Sitting at 5-4, the record is objectively fine considering their schedule, but how they got there could end up being a movie.

Despite injuries to their best three players on offense against the Atlanta Falcons, they willed themselves to a win.

After a wild first half of the season, we went tot the fans to see what questions they had about the team moving forward. These seven questions are fascinating and we answered them.

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!
