Locked On Lions - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions hand the offensive keys to Drew Petzing—will a fresh philosophy ignite a Super Bowl run at Ford Field? Brad Holmes confirms it’s Petzing’s show, backing the new offensive coordinator to unleash Detroit’s unique personnel and reshape the attack, while Mike Kafka joins as a high-ranking offensive assistant. With play-calling trust shifting, all eyes are on how Dan Campbell’s leadership and Petzing’s approach can maximize Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jahmyr Gibbs.
Host Matt Dery breaks down Holmes’ bold vision, concerns about offensive line upgrades, and why defensive improvements can’t be ignored in Motown. The episode also explores tight end roster dilemmas, Jim Schwartz’s latest snub by the Cleveland Browns, and the impact of culture in Detroit’s coaching hires. Plus, Mike Kakuk's “call of the day” stirs debate: Does a dominant “Honolulu Blue Curtain” defense hold the key to the Lions’ championship dreams? #firstlisten

Detroit Lions face NFL coaching carousel chaos as Aaron Glenn fires Tanner Engstrand just weeks after bringing him to the New York Jets. Matt Dery explores the fallout from this unexpected move, what it signals about stability in Allen Park, and why the Lions' coaching staff additions like Drew Petzing and Mike Kafka might give Detroit a competitive edge. Could Engstrand make a return to the Motor City, and should the Lions capitalize on the coaching shake-up?
 
Key discussions include potential draft targets like Texas A&M’s Trey Zuhn at the Senior Bowl, insights on the Lions’ offensive line strategy, and the outrage over Bill Belichick’s first-ballot Hall of Fame snub due to Spygate and Deflategate controversies. Plus, a listener weighs in on the Jared Goff vs. Sam Darnold debate and what it means for Detroit’s Super Bowl hopes. Don’t miss this dynamic breakdown of Detroit Lions news, NFL drama, and offseason moves. #firstlisten

Detroit Lions shake up their coaching ranks by bringing in former New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka as a senior offensive assistant, signaling a bold commitment to revamping their offensive strategy. With Drew Petzing already in as offensive coordinator and Scottie Montgomery interviewing for the Baltimore Ravens' OC role, Head Coach Dan Campbell isn’t holding back from building the NFL’s deepest staff. Can all these fresh minds spark the creative boost Detroit needs to make a leap next season?
 
Matt Dery breaks down why the Lions are targeting top coaching talent, the implications for Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and David Montgomery, and what a new-look staff means for the team’s draft and free agency plans. Highlights include Daniel Jeremiah’s mock draft pick of Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor, salary cap restructuring scenarios, and the latest buzz from Senior Bowl week. Plus, uncover the truth behind viral social media rumors surrounding Detroit’s offseason moves. #firstlisten
