• What is the biggest worry for Detroit Lions fans heading in to 2025?
    May 2 2025

    The Lions will know on May 14th what their 2025 schedule is and that seems to be the biggest concern with the fanbase. The road slate is absolutely brutal, with only one game against a team with an under 500 record from 2024. Yet, Detroit was perfect away from home last season. We talk about that and also Todd McShay commented on the Lions draft, and we give some love to the Pistons and have 2 Calls of the Day. #firstlisten

  • An explanation from Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell that is still bewildering
    Sep 20 2023
    Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell went on  @971theticket  this morning and tried to explain his thinking for going for the field goal and sending the game into overtime on Sunday. Matt Dery discusses that here and is still confused by the audio. We play it for you. Also, how big of a loss is CJ Gardner-Johnson? Huge. The Lions will be without their stud safety for likely the rest of the season.

  • SHOCKER: Could Detroit Lions Consider MASSIVE Draft SWERVE with Max Iheanachor at Tackle?
    Apr 17 2026

    Detroit Lions consider bold NFL Draft moves as tackle Max Iheanachor and cornerback Jermod McCoy emerge as possible first-round targets. Could Brad Holmes’ strategy shake up the team’s offensive line and secondary? Matt Dery brings expert draft analysis featuring insights from Trevor Sikkema and covers the potential fit and ceiling of Arizona State’s Iheanachor, plus the intrigue surrounding McCoy’s top-10 talent despite injury concerns.

    Former Lions fullback Jason Cabinda raises eyebrows, questioning if Detroit’s Super Bowl window is closing after minimal offseason splash and defensive uncertainty. Dery dissects Cabinda’s claims, the front office’s approach to injured players, and the evolving roles of standouts like Kerby Joseph, Brian Branch, and Aidan Hutchinson. With the draft looming, the Lions’ approach at pick 17—and their readiness to trade back or select best available—could define the trajectory of Detroit’s season. #FIRSTLISTEN

  • DRAFT STRATEGY: Lions and Blake Miller LINKED as Most RELIABLE Choice, Position Battle INTENSIFIES
    Apr 15 2026

    Detroit Lions zero in on offensive line answers—Blake Miller surges as a potential safe pick at No. 17. With NFL Draft buzz intensifying, Matt Dery spotlights Miller’s rise, discussing John Ledyard’s strong endorsement of the Clemson tackle and how his experience, size, and upside align with Detroit’s pressing right tackle need. The debate heats up over draft targets, with other O-line standouts like Kadyn Proctor and Caleb Lomu linked to pre-draft visits, while the Lions keep their cards close to the vest and play draft poker.

    Roster depth, tactical team-building, and financial philosophy also come under the microscope. Listener Logan raises critical questions about Rod Wood’s comments on organizational spending, ticket prices, and Detroit’s long-term strategy for re-signing stars like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Aidan Hutchinson. As the NFL Draft draws near, are the Lions poised to lock down the trenches and emerge as true NFC contenders? #firstlisten

  • SHOCKER: Detroit Lions FACE Critical Draft Decision—Will Brad Holmes CHOOSE a Game-Changing Tackle?
    Apr 16 2026

    Detroit Lions face high-stakes decisions in the 2024 NFL Draft as major holes at offensive tackle and edge rusher loom. Can Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell find the perfect fit at pick 17—will it be a mauling tackle like Kadyn Proctor or a power-driven force such as Vega Ioane? Draft expert Trevor Sikkema outlines the varying talent depth of this year’s class and breaks down why certain linemen possess Lions DNA, emphasizing the need to address pivotal spots to support Aidan Hutchinson and shore up the trenches.

    Matt Dery challenges whether cornerback could be a surprise target, discusses the edge rusher market at pick 50, and probes the significant drop in talent after the top round of tackles. The conversation uncovers late-round prospects to watch, the ceilings of Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker, and expectations for Tyleik Williams’ development. Are the Detroit Lions poised for a draft that propels them over the playoff hump? #firstlisten
