Is the outcry over Penei Sewell’s “Protector of the Year” snub justified, or did Chicago Bears’ Joe Thuney truly earn the crown? Matt Dery takes on Lions fans’ outrage, tipping his cap to Thuney’s pivotal impact on the Bears’ offensive line and reminding Detroit faithful that snubs are part of the game—even when hometown heroes like Aidan Hutchinson and Sewell are overlooked on award night.

The episode shifts to trade speculation, as Maxx Crosby’s cryptic comments spark rumors about a potential Detroit Lions blockbuster move. Can the Lions land Crosby, or is the focus better placed on defensive upgrades through other means after missing the playoffs? Plus, Aidan Hutchinson names Brian Branch the ultimate “badass” teammate, and Dery connects the dots between Super Bowl contenders’ elite defenses and Detroit’s path to contention. Don’t miss this action-packed breakdown of NFL awards, trade rumors, and Lions strategy. #firstlisten

Contract shake-ups rock Detroit as the Detroit Lions consider the future of Levi Onwuzurike, Josh Paschal, and standout free agent Roy Lopez—who deserves another shot in the trenches? Matt Dery spotlights the Lions’ defensive line decisions, weighs in on Pro Football Focus grades, and questions whether returning familiar faces like Marcus Davenport is the answer or if Detroit must prioritize fresh talent to stay tough up front. Which free agents warrant another look, and who’s at risk of being left behind?

Matt Miller’s latest ESPN mock draft sparks debate: Should the Lions target Keldric Faulk to bolster their edge attack or shore up the O-line with Max Iheanachor ? Plus, hear strong takes on Super Bowl envy as perennial contenders like the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks continue to reach the big stage with new coach-quarterback duos, leaving Detroit fans hungry for a breakthrough. Can the Lions finally build a championship roster? #firstlisten
