Pride Of Detroit Lions PODcast decides on the State of the 2018 Lions, makes 53-man roster predictions. 78 minutes.
It?s time to review what we know about the Lions after the 3rd preseason game.

The preseason has not been fun. Scream all you want about the 4-0 record during the Detroit Lions? 2008 preseason, but it?s probably not fair to literally throw everything out that we?ve seen thus far. While overall play is likely dampered by vanilla playbooks and limited gameplanning, it?s hard to deny that the individual performances by some Lions players has been downright depressing at times.

So with the ?important? part of the preseason over, it?s time of the PODcast to self-evaluate the team. How big of trouble is Matt Patricia in with this team? What things can fans start worrying about? What things should fans relax about? Who?s on the roster bubble and who?s going to be kicking back during the Lions? final preseason game? We answer all these questions and more on this week?s episode of the PODcast!

This week on the PODcast:
The Lions flunked the dress rehearsal, so does that mean they?re doomed to fail the regular season, too?

The defense looked like hot garbage. When can we expect the player to look comfortable and efficient in Patricia?s system? Will it happen this season or is this a long-term process?

We play impress/depress from the Lions? preseason game against the Buccaneers. If you?re friends or family with Jarrad Davis or Nevin Lawson, you may want to skip this segment. But on the positive side, Frank Ragnow passed his test vs. Gerald McCoy (mostly).

Predicting the 53-man roster! We go position-by-position and give our thoughts on each camp battle and who we think eventually makes the team.

Mailbag reviews our trip to see Toto, talks overrated airport food, picks our favorite college player of 2018, and discusses what makes a good rapper.

Detroit Lions Podcast Episode 166 ? Lions Last Stop Before Roster Cuts. 62 minutes.

Preseason Breakdown By The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down the latest Lions news ahead of roster cuts including the latest limo driver rumors. We also talk up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game review. Also, we are joined by Jeff ?The Riz? Risdon to talk preseason strategy, and the great performance by Hakeem Valles. We also share thoughts about Golden Tate after reading Lucas?s article on DetroitLionsPodcast.com.

First, the guys take a look at the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. Was this a case of Matt Patricia flexing his muscles around the roster?s depth or should we be concerned about how the number ones performed? For a preseason dress rehearsal, there?s a lot of chatter out there about this game, and we?ll help you cut through it all and get to the bottom line.

Hey, how about Khalil Mack? You feel like trusting a limo driver? The reality is that a radio personality is reporting something told to him by a guy who talked to a limo driver. The Detroit Lions Podcast heard Mack?s starting with the team on cut day to help the beat writers have more to write about. Also, don?t believe anything related to the rumors of Mack to Detroit. Don?t let Detroiters continue to be the perfect mark for trolls. It feels so dumb.

Detroit Lions Podcast Predicts Roster Cuts
We also talk about roster cut-downs, who makes the roster, and who doesn?t. There are a couple of surprising takes in here. Definitely worth talking about and maybe even calling Case names on twitter for his rank insanity. We also give the ?Great Lakes Classic? more time than it likely deserves.

After that, the Riz jumps on the Detroit Lions Podcast to talk about Chris Burke?s article in the Athletic about Matt Patricia?s likely preseason strategy. He also explains why you need not worry so much about the team?s performance so far. Risdon also talks Hakeem Valles and why he?s guaranteed to make the team. Also we discuss a scenario Lucas (one of our Detroit Lions Podcast writers) put together about one consideration that could play out in regards to Golden Tate. It sparks a serious conversation about a topic that no one really wants to broach, just yet.
