Detroit Lions Breakdown Podcast Episode #49: Tied at the Hip. 53 minutes.

The Lions finally announced Matt Patricia as their new head coach. Also, after signing him to a 5-year deal they extended GM Bob Quinn until 2022 as well.
Speaking of duos with longevity Erik and Joe have officially kicked off their second season of podcasting?

It is unknown how much Patricia will make, but Erik takes a stab at it.

Joe and Erik do a full rundown of the Lions coaching staff.

This week?s mock draft that is reviewed is from Nate Atkins at MLive.

The mailbag once again is filled with questions regarding the future schemes of the Offensive Line and Defensive Lines.

There was also a mention of Erik?s great work on his positional breakdown articles? QB, RB, WR, TE, OT.

The next batch of questions surrounds what Erik is looking forward to for the combine and the draft.

Finally, Erik and Joe discuss what Lion starters on offense and defense would start for the majority of teams in the league.

Thanks to Scott Bates and Encinitas Kevin for the great reviews and to the other 2 folks for the anonymous ones.

The Lions added former Eagles, Browns and Rams offensive lineman Hank Fraley as an assistant offensive line coach. The team also shifted Evan Rothstein's role to head coach assistant/research and analysis. He has worked with the Lions as a special teams assistant and then an offensive research and analysis assistant the past two years.
