Detroit Lions Breakdown Podcast. 54 minutes.

Brett Whitefield of Pro Football Focus joins Erik and Joe as their first ever guest!?

Armonty Bryant was suspended for 4 games for violating the league substance abuse policy the Lions may need to look for an addition to the DL.

Brett has an article on the prototypical Defensive Linemen in every technique.

Erik just released one looking at 5 options the Lions have to bolster their pass rush.

The boys visit the Rod Wood-shed early and talk about the latest stadium, uniform and Calvin updates.

Erik and Brett play ?take a side? while evaluating the Lions skill players projected offensive stats according to the latest series of articles by Dave Birkett.

Brett looks at Eric Ebron and if he?ll see more Red Zone action in 2017.

Another peek at the Matthew Stafford contract situation.

Are the Lions overlooked? Would anyone make a bold prediction about the Lions nationally?

Brett and Erik are optimistic about the Lions Defensive Backs. The PFF group currently has the Lions ranked 17th in the NFL.

Two quick mailbag questions.
