This is such a great culture change. Self policing locker room, coaches that care about the team and personal development of individual players, GM and HC that are on the same page about what they want, and an owner that set the tone for all of this. These are not the 'SAME OLD LIONS'.

Lions Media Department - y’all are killing it! This is award winning caliber stuff. Fans eating all this up. Content that is usually portrayed in very mundane ways, you guys present like A Football Life, 30 for 30 and BTN’s The Journey. Incredible storylines, incredible production, incredible sound design, editing, etc. of course, if fans didn’t think Brad and Dan were steering this the right way, the content wouldn’t be as well perceived but all that without this excellent product would fall flat, too. Great work, @DetroitLions total staff/team.

[@bigmike3007]

I was a rams fan from 1997-2018. I’ve always had this spot for the lions and always seeing them on thanksgiving was like learning more about them. I gave up on the rams after all those years and I was drawn to Detroit. It wasn’t a pretty start lol but I stuck with it. All my friends would be like what do you see in them, and I responded it’s something I feel happening. That offseason where we traded stafford and got Goff they was like Goff will haunt you lol and the thing is I like Goff a lot he’s really talented and if you protect him he can do great things. Now that we are here, I’ve seen the team change and grow exactly into what I felt and I think after such a long time of abuse this city is finally going to be rewarded with something special! I was hard on Dan Campbell and Glenn, I wanted them gone badly…. And then I noticed something one night…. I noticed that we all the fans and everyone wasn’t giving these guys a fair chance and then it hit me I saw that these guys really wanted to change the culture around Detroit and do something special! And everyday since I had that feeling things keep getting better! We are on the rise and the players we are bringing in aren’t going to wow you on paper but when they step on the field with us, they are going to get their a$$e$ handed to them all game! We are building a family and a football team that “ CAN AND WILL “!

The episode last year after the draft - watching BH work the phones under pressure without breaking a sweat, knowing the details, pulling the trigger and the way they knew who was going to fall to them and how excited they got when the puzzle came together gave me immense trust in the trio at top. Something I've never had in 57 years with the Lions. The draft last night surprised me but I trust them. They know more than any mock draft 'expert'. They do their homework. That's why we have players like St. Brown, Houston and Rodrigo. So thank you for these Inside the Den episodes.

Iffy was never on the bubble brad Holmes loves his players. I went back and watched the inside the den 2021 when they drafted him. They are extremely high on this guy. I actually would like to see him be Number 2 corner when Cj comes back. We’ll see how they work cj back in. Someone beat me to it but y’all quick with the bust label. I just feel like this team is extremely deep and as the defense gets healthier, it will be a big difference. I actually hate it when KZbinrs swear they teaching us something. Dan Campbell said from the beginning that every player on this team down to the practice squad players would be needed at some point. I’m thankful for what we got out of Jacobs, and Tracy they stepped up when we needed them. Although I hate to say it kudos to Will Harris too.
