TMB Cover One: Detroit Lions

Listen Later

Brace yourselves, TMB fanatics. Not only is Cover One back this week, but we’re talking about the team you’ve all been waiting for. The Detroit Lions—everyone’s favorite 1-4 ragtag squad in all the land—are the subject of this week’s pod, and we’ve got a Michigander through and through to break them down. FOX 47 Lansing’s Thomas Cook joined us for:

  • A big-picture analysis of what’s gone wrong for the Lions early in 2022 (2:45)
  • Why injuries are an insufficient excuse for the losses that have piled up early in the season (5:52)
  • Whether Dan Campbell’s “Campbellisms” and aggressive decision making are starting to wear thin (8:13)
  • The levels of optimism among the Lions and their fans regarding any better things to come (14:35)
  • Evaluating No. 2 overall pick Aidan Hutchinson’s debut through five games (19:00)
  • Diagnosing the bottom-ranked Detroit defense and how it can possibly be fixed (21:03)
  • Talking about the most pleasant surprises on this team, namely first-year OC Ben Johnson and breakout receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (22:58)
  • Jared Goff’s performance and how he fits into the long-term picture with the Lions (27:57)
  • Projecting some breakout candidates for the second half of the season and what an optimistic projection for the team looks like (33:17)
  • Guessing how many wins the Lions end the season with… and a special prediction segment about our beloved Syracuse Orange to go with it (37:38)
