2024 NFL Team Overview: Detroit Lions

[@samjimenez]

Lions! Hell yeah 👍🏼

[@StraightAMain]

Hell Yeah Man!

[@CareySymchych-jj9om]

Been watching since 66 , and I think it’s one of the best teams in the NFL . If I’m wrong I will write a retraction , and give you all your accolades for your predictions . You should be ready to do the same. You’re going to see 2nd& third year players , that now have had some time together . There will be some bumps in the road , as with any other team . Rookie mistakes. But that D line is going to be something you haven’t seen since the Steelers of the Mean Joe Greene Era.

[@StraightAMain]

That's completely fair, I don't think an apology is needed from either of us either way. We agree that they are going to do well. But even the best teams do lose to other teams especially other teams that perform well.

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Where's Ennis Rakestraw Jr at CB?

[@StraightAMain]

You know, that’s a good question… I didn’t even catch that, I guess ESPN doesn’t have a fully updated depth chart despite most other teams updating for their rookies. Great catch!

[@dorionhurley1972]

Bro your driving me nuts moving that screen up and down at an impossible rate!!! Slow down dude, give us time to absorb what the hell your talking about.

[@StraightAMain]

Thank you for letting me know! I'm learning how to properly convey my thoughts and stay entertaining, but it can be conveyed chaotically. currently trying to make the next videos of this series a bit more honed. I really appreciate the feedback.

[@corey2justified1]

Are you kidding me? The defensive line is stacked, the secondary is the big question mark. You're putting a secondary unit where a good chunk of the players haven't even played a down in the NFL over the defensive line? Really?

[@StraightAMain]

That's valid, but it came down to: 1. I know the defensive line is going to be in the top 14ish in the league, stretching to a top 10. 2. This secondary is all new and in turnovers, they did pretty well last year. So all in all, my prediction is that they breakout and do well with the players they bring in. That is part of the prediction part less than the forecast because there's not much I can go off of with this secondary. I still think the defense in general will be amazing, I just believe that the secondary is going to make that step up. Hope this helps and thank you for the comment!

[@corey2justified1]

@StraightAMain ok, but I think you're being incredibly optimistic about the secondary

[@rudylizcano7716]

This guy knows nothing about our LIONS!

[@StraightAMain]

Thank you for the critique! I do believe I know a decent bit about the Lions, but when going in depth with each team, I've learned it can be difficult. But I genuinely believe everything I stated about them.

[@Brent6437]

3:05 I really hope and pray that our secondary can be at least in the top 15 and our D Line has been put @4 According to PFF.

[@StraightAMain]

I really think the Secondary is going to be great! As for PFF, respect what they do, but a lot of their rankings are over the place, I don't think their outrageous for that ranking, but I just think the D Line is like in the top 14 range more than top 5.

[@Brent6437]

@@StraightAMain yes 🙌🏽

SUPER BOWL WIN OR BUST 2024.

[@StraightAMain]

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!

[@Toddnesbitt]

Hey it's cool you got all those stats on David Montgomery and all those different guys like that but you can't read it!!

[@StraightAMain]

Thank you for letting me know! Currently going through the next few teams in the hope of making it a bit better!

[@renegadephilosopher5996]

Our defensive line is not our weakest link. Now it's receiving corps.

[@StraightAMain]

Completely fair point. I kind of elevate the offense with LaPorta, Amon-Ra, and then throwing in Gibbs with reliable backups. The point is, the team is so good now that the team’s “weakest link” is at worst slightly above average!

[@renegadephilosopher5996]

@@StraightAMain I don’t know. With the pick up of reader and placing him next to McNeill, I think we’re going to see that defensive line go off.

[@StraightAMain]

Oh for sure, the potential of the Lions is so real this next year. I am excited to watch this defense get out there and compete

[@stevekendra8983]

I think you're not giving Jameson enough credit. From everything I've seen and heard coming out of OTA's and mini camp, it sounds like he's primed for a breakout season. I've heard that his first 2 seasons he was more of a I'll fo what I want kind of player, but this off-season something clicked and now will be a more team oriented player.

[@StraightAMain]

Maybe so, I like Jameson, I think he’s a good talent. OTA’s and Minicamps are hard to get a good gauge of the players coming out of there. This is mostly because the information is very cherry picked or controlled where we don’t get the full picture. He could be a great talent, but especially with Amon-Ra, LaPorta, and the RBs, it’s going to be tough for him to break through. It would be cool to see though!

[@Toddnesbitt]

You need to do a close-up on that playlist you can't even read it. You have to put your face right in front of the television set. I don't know if you realize or not maybe you do maybe you don't but you just can't make out the little tiny names on there. Look at some of the way other places do it they do a nice clothes up here if you read it really easy, it's maddening as hell you can't even see it.

[@StraightAMain]

That's fair! Thank you for pointing this out! I'm trying to make these videos as best as possible, so this feedback is great. I will work on that for the rest of the series!

[@Toddnesbitt]

@@StraightAMain thank you my friend sorry to be such a ass about it. It's just that you had a nice product and I just wanted to tell you about it. Thank you again!

Anything in particular? Always trying to improve.

harsh 😉

[@CareySymchych-jj9om]

What team are you making predictions for? You honestly think there record , is going to be that . Did you bump your head ? You sound as silly as Butkus Broski predicting Chicago to place above Detroit in the north . With the up grades to the defensive line , there won’t be time to throw . Should mean lighter work for CB’s and SAFETY’S . Which in turn , means more time for linebackers , to maul QB’s and BACK’s . Might take a little time for the line to jell . But you can only double team one or two players at a time . I believe this season is going to be epic , and this is just the beginning of what is going to happen for this club .

[@StraightAMain]

I don't think I've ever seen someone say that going 11-6 is so low that it's an awful prediction! Fair enough, the team could do way better, but there are a lot of good teams in the NFL. While the Lions did get to 12-5 last year, their schedule got harder, so they'll need to stay consistent throughout the entire season to make it back to that record. I think the o-line will be more ready than the defense possibly, but it definitely isn't sustainable to double block 2 players. Always appreciate the critique!

[@Toddnesbitt]

@@CareySymchych-jj9om yeah I will say that the schedule is a lot harder this year so it might be 11-6. Hope it's 12 and 5
