The latest episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast is a solo effort coming out of the bye week. This one goes over the upcoming Week 6 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys as well as how good the Lions look relative to the rest of the league after the first quarter of the season.
Dan Campbell and the Lions coaching staff aren’t perfect, but the bye week gave Detroit fans the opportunity to see how flawed so many other consensus contenders are too–including coaching decisions that directly cost victories for the Bills and Bengals. The perspective is important when going through the criticism of Campbell, Ben Johnson and the Lions after the first four games.
Next up are the Dallas Cowboys, a team that doesn’t match up well at all with what the Lions do well. Foremost is Detroit’s outstanding running offense with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs going against what PFF grades as the NFL’s worst run defense and one of the worst tackling defenses in the league.
As always, the audio-only version of the show is available from your favorite podcast provider.
