Locked On Lions - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions shake up their offense with the hiring of Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator. Is Petzing’s run-heavy philosophy the key to maximizing Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, and Sam LaPorta next season? Host Matt Dery and guest Craig Grialou examine Petzing’s mixed results in Arizona, where injuries crippled the Cardinals’ O-line and skill positions, and fans questioned his game management and press conference presence. Can Detroit’s healthier roster fuel a scoring surge?
 
The episode spotlights Petzing’s proficiency in tight end utilization, the implications of the Cardinals-Lions draft trade that netted Gibbs and LaPorta for Detroit, and leadership connections between Ben Johnson and Hank Fraley. Discussion includes the Lions’ offensive line rankings, fourth-down conversion struggles, and what aggressive playcalling might look like under Dan Campbell’s influence. Hear exclusive analysis from Arizona Cardinals insider Grialou and get fan reactions that set the stage for a pivotal new era in Detroit. #firstlisten

Detroit Lions land Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator—will his ground-and-pound philosophy unlock a new level for Jared Goff and the offense? Matt Dery spotlights the surprise hire from the Arizona Cardinals, exploring Petzing’s top-10 rushing attacks, heavy reliance on tight ends, and the strategic fit with Dan Campbell’s vision. Is Petzing’s under-center style the steady presence Detroit needs, or will fans crave more offensive creativity?
 
The conversation digs into the case for bringing Cardinals tight ends coach Ben Steele to Detroit and examines Ben Johnson’s coaching connections. Matt weighs Jeff Darlington’s report on why Mike McDaniel wasn’t the “ideal fit,” the Lions’ OC search process, and key weekend playoff moments—will the Lions soon break into the NFL’s final four? Don’t miss insights on potential staff moves, the evolution of Detroit’s offense, and how additions like Petzing and Steele could shape the Lions’ playoff aspirations. #firstlisten

Detroit Lions face a critical crossroads as six offensive coordinator candidates emerge—who truly fits Dan Campbell’s vision? Matt Dery delivers bold rankings, spotlighting Mike McDaniel as a top creative mind for Detroit, while casting doubt on Arthur Smith’s bland playcalling, and examining the rising stock of Zac Robinson and Mike Kafka. From offensive weapons and looming vacancies to Taylor Decker’s possible retirement, every move shapes the Lions’ 2024 outlook.
 
Bradford Banta from the Lions Squad Show joins to offer a former player’s insider perspective on how coaching chemistry and locker room respect impact the team’s future. The conversation dives into key offseason priorities—including shoring up the O-line, evaluating Jared Goff’s status, and addressing secondary concerns through free agency and the draft. Can Brad Holmes’ draft position at 17 push Detroit into true contender status? The race for the Lions’ next OC just got more intense. #firstlisten
