Detroit Lions REBIRTH? Dan Campbell Speaks + Taylor Decker Situation & Lions Mock Draft (Episode 47)

Welcome back to Passing Time: Detroit Lions Talk 🦁

In Episode 47, we break down everything happening around the Detroit Lions as the offseason heats up.

Dan Campbell made headlines at the NFL Owners Meetings, calling this offseason a “rebirth” for the Lions. What does that mean for the roster? We discuss Detroit intentionally getting younger, leadership shifts in the locker room, and why the team believes its core foundation is still strong.

We also dive into the Taylor Decker situation, the Lions’ roster decisions, and some key veteran additions like Chuck Clark.

Then we look ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft, breaking down a full Lions Round 1 board around pick #17. Could Brad Holmes target an EDGE rusher like David Bailey or Rueben Bain, or pivot to the offensive line with Francis Mauigoa or Kadyn Proctor?

We also cover:

• Lions offseason news
 • Dan Campbell’s biggest quotes from the Owners Meetings
 • Lions mock draft targets
 • Tiered draft board for pick #17
 • Bill’s Bullet Points around Michigan sports
 • Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, and Michigan State basketball

If you're a Detroit Lions fan, this episode is packed with everything you need to know heading into the next phase of the offseason.

Passing Time: Detroit Lions Talk — Episode 39 (Season 2)

Season 2 is officially underway — and the Detroit Lions offseason is already heating up.

In Episode 39 of Passing Time, we dive deep into the Lions’ evolving offensive staff, including the addition of Mike Kafka and how he fits alongside Drew Petzing as Detroit quietly builds a specialized coaching brain trust. Is this Dan Campbell stepping back into full CEO mode? And are Brad Holmes and company playing the long game while fans wait for fireworks?

We break down:

🧠 Mike Kafka’s role and how he complements Petzing’s offense
🍻 Why this offseason feels like ordering a mystery beer… before discovering it’s top-shelf
🛡️ Lions free agency decisions — who feels like a lock, who’s replaceable, and who might shock fans by leaving
💰 Dream free-agent targets on the offensive line and edge
🎯 Bill’s Bullet Points — concerns, pushback, and tough truths
🌎 Senior Bowl & Shrine Bowl standouts, including the QB Detroit spent serious time with
🏈 Super Bowl LX reactions and the uncomfortable Lions tie-in conversations nobody wants to have

We also zoom out to the bigger picture:
👉 What do the current playoff teams have that Detroit still needs?
👉 Is Brad Holmes more loyal… or more ruthless than fans realize?
👉 And are we judging this roster — and Jared Goff — through the wrong lens?

Season 2 of Passing Time: Detroit Lions Talk starts now — and the offseason is already on fire. 🔥

In Episode 38, we break down everything shaping the Detroit Lions’ future:

The Lions just made their biggest offseason move… and not everyone is buying it. Drew Petzing is the new OC — so is this the missing piece, or the first red flag of 2026?

🦁 Drew Petzing is officially the Lions’ new Offensive Coordinator — what does this hire really tell us about Dan Campbell, Brad Holmes, and the direction of the offense?
📋 We dive into Petzing’s background, play-calling tendencies, Arizona criticism, run-game philosophy, and whether this is the fit Detroit was looking for.
🚨 We also discuss the candidates Detroit didn’t hire and what that says about the Lions’ priorities.

🛡️ Kelvin Sheppard interviews for an NFL head coaching job — how real is the threat of Detroit losing staff this offseason?

🔄 Around the league, the NFL coaching carousel is spinning — Giants, Falcons, Dolphins, Ravens, Raiders, Bills, and more. Would coaches rather join Detroit… or try to beat them?

💥 Plus:
• Bill’s Bullet Points return
• Playoff lessons Detroit must learn
• NFC & AFC Championship predictions

This is the start of Season 2.
