Let’s Talk Lions

The Detroit Lions blindsided most by hiring Drew Petzing as the new OC. This came unexpectedly with the very many good candidates on the market, and the Lions made a move - a very deliberate move for this offense.

The Detroit Lions MUST fix the OL. The Lions can address the offensive line in both Free Agency and the 2026 Draft. The game is won in the trenches and Brad Holmes can't sit on his hands and allow the OL to look how it did this past season. Much has to change. Will Taylor Decker retire? Will the Lions make a move for a free agent?

Let's look through a few of the Detroit Lions free agents heading into the 2026 season. Who should stay? Who should go?

Mike McDaniel has been fired by the Miami Dolphins. Word is the Detroit Lions have already reached out to McDaniel as the OC for the Lions. Whatever happens here - the Lions must do everything in their power to hire Mike McDaniel as the OC heading into 2026.

A team with high expectations and many questions ended the season yesterday at 9-8 and in 4th place in the NFC North. Quite an embarrassing season coming for a team that has had Super Bowl aspirations 2 years in a row. Much needs to be fixed, beginning with the OL and then the DL. The Lions have to return to their roots of the Dan Campbell regime heading into 2026.

The Detroit Lions have one of the best RB duos in football… so why does David Montgomery feel like an afterthought in 2025?

In this video, I break down the curious case of David Montgomery and how Detroit’s running back usage has shifted this season. Jahmyr Gibbs is a superstar — every touch can turn into a house call — but Montgomery is still one of the most valuable “identity” backs in the NFL: short-yardage, red zone, and the tone-setter that keeps everything on schedule.

And here’s what makes it so strange: the workload drop isn’t just a feeling — it’s in the numbers.
Montgomery went from 13.2 carries per game in 2024 to 9.4 carries per game in 2025 — that’s 35 fewer carries total. Even more interesting: after the Philadelphia game, his weekly carry count falls off a cliff.

So what happened? Was it game script? Matchups? Coaching philosophy? Or did the Lions overcorrect and lose the balance that made this offense so hard to defend?

Drop your thoughts in the comments: Should Detroit re-balance the backfield, or keep leaning Gibbs-heavy?
