Dj Reader, the revamped cb room and Jake Bates is really going to do wonders for the 2024-25 Super Bowl Champion Lions.

Another thing I’m surprised they didn’t mention is that Jake Bates has a way better record kicking in domes so this is actually perfect

[@troyclaerhout2412]

All hail Master Bates!!!

[@joshuagallatin8271]

Promised land here we come. One pride nation let’s go!

[@Brent6437]

We definitely welcomed Jake. However we made it deep in the playoffs with a crappy secondary. Now we have depth and talent on every position. We will get more sacks.

[@arthurfonzarelli9828]

We? what position do you play? :)

Since when did it become an issue with say we as a long time sports franchise fan?!?

RIGHT! A mostly see through glass wall, three footballs and a filing cabinet. Yep! Looks like a bathroom to me...

Who cares he has a dream job he most likely enjoys if he is a number cruncher and NFL fan. Find something else to hate on eh?

[@KP-no9hb]

@@lionized_wingnut nobody here is hating on him, it’s called an observation. His office looks like a bathroom, that was all anyone here is saying. I’m baffled that someone would think that by commenting on a background, means they hate someone.

LIONS 72 SACKS

[@toddw3nzel639]

Hahahaha they ain’t turning down the blitz’s. This D Line got better and secondary. Blitz success should go up.

[@zeekot4064]

Only reason they we were blitzing so much iss because they weren’t getting pressure on the qb, and our secondary was getting killed

[@bdp3232]

Detroit Vs Everybody

[@lionsroar74]

GO LIONS!!!

[@cujoe]

Could've got into the Super Bowl last year via a kicker. But going for it on 4th down instead of kicking a FG was a choice.

[@righteousisthelord180]

Lions fan here and one of the few who does not doubles down on Campbells 4th down aggressiveness. Hopefully having a big leg will change his mind. Letting Prater go was IMO a big mistake and cost us wins the past three years.

[@JMichael-xc7uu]

Or was Josh Reynolds dropping 2 critical passes in his hands a choice?

[@16Hodges]

@@JMichael-xc7uuthey always think it’s going to be an automatic make when the kicking game was abysmal for us

[@RedWingsninetyone]

​@@righteousisthelord180 I liked Prater but he wasn't exactly performing well when they let him go. We were pretty spoiled with Legatron before that.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

Maybe not letting a sure interception bounce off your face for a TD would help too.

[@CrazyCardmaster822]

Guy looks like Aaron rodgers

[@derekgraves643]

"Tone down the blitz rate"? F-No! We just got 2 proven starters & a nice rookie at corner. Blitz when you Want To because now we can cover.

People stay forgetting the Lions had the worst passing defense in football ig. Talking super bowls lol

[@kreed4480]

@@nicksnyder1723 lions drafted two slot corners a year after drafting Brian branch, a slot corner. And sign Jamal dean who’s average at best. Let’s not also act like players make the scheme. Coaching was abysmal for the defensive backs

[@southviewarab]

L take, explain how did they peak? Top 3 Youngest roster peaked? Lmao L take indeed

[@jasonhill9674]

What a poor attitude you have there my friend, however, you might feel better knowing there is ample reason to believe that the lions actually improved their roster during the off season by addressing their weaknesses in FA & the draft while adding better coaching along the Dline. Lions have injured players coming back healthy that didn't play last year. Houston, Moseley to name a few. They signed a two year agreement with an accurate kicker who has made field goals on the reg from 60+ to compete @ camp ( pssst - Fields goals were a weakness last year and might have cost them games). Nobody knows how the new kickoff rules are going to change things but the Lions are stacked with speedy, agile players. As a matter of fact I'm predicting the players the Lions cut before the season to get down to the league number will be quickly snapped up by other teams as starters. Signed their core players to long term contracts and have a healthy cap for the next few years. They were 30 minutes away from the Super Bowl with THAT secondary. Trust me, they haven't "peaked" just yet. I feel pretty damn good about the team direction and the organization right now. I can't think of any evidence they peaked last year.
