One of the biggest concerns for the Detroit Lions entering the 2021 NFL regular season is who will be the primary receiving target for new quarterback Jared Goff.

Brad Holmes, Detroit Lions (Photo by Junfu Han, Detroit Free Press Syndication) The Detroit Lions are building a brand new era. But if Matthew Stafford has success with the Los Angeles Rams, could that devastate Motown? Out with the old and in with the new. The Bob Quinn/Matt Patricia era is completely gone. Sure many
Former Detroit Lions quarterback Scott Mitchell remembers all of the personalities and options he had on the offensive side of the ball in the mid-to-late 90s: Brett Perriman, Herman Moore, and Johnnie Morton to name a few. “The funniest thing I remember about Brett – he wouldn’t get in the huddle,” remembers Scott. “This is
Former Detroit Lions teammates Herman Moore, Lomas Brown, and Scott Mitchell talk about the number of quarterbacks Herman played with during his 10 years with the Lions and which was his favorite. Herman Moore went to four NFL Pro Bowls (1994-97) – three of them with Scott Mitchell under center.
Much of the narrative surrounding the Detroit Lions this offseason has been focused on the quarterback position. And for good reason. After all, the new regime in Motown traded away longtime starter Matthew Stafford and received a bounty of future draft selections in exchange. But Detroit acquired a replacement passer in that trade with the
Detroit’s “Big Four” professional sports teams — the Lions, Pistons, Red Wings and Tigers – have combined to win 22 championships over the past 120 years. And though it’s hard to believe, considering the city’s recent playoff drought — the last postseason victory by any of the four, a 2-0 win by the Wings over the
Former Detroit Lions QB Scott Mitchell breaks bread with Lomas Brown and Herman Moore to talk about playing together in the 90s, Scott’s experience on The Biggest Loser, and an experience he had with four fans at the Silverdome on Thanksgiving Day in 1996.

The Detroit Lions fielded the worst defense in the NFL last season, allowing an average of 32.4 points and 419.8 yards per game to opposing offenses. The Lions’ pass defense ranked 30th (284.9) and, against the run, they were a lowly 28th (134.9). The poor performance of their secondary cut even deeper as the Lions

So, the goal here is to determine how Detroit’s starters stack up against their division rivals. I’ve
Former Detroit Lions QB Scott Mitchell (1994-98), T Lomas Brown (1985-95), and WR Herman Moore (1991-01) break bread and talk about the back-and-forth that played out on ESPN between Scott and Lomas in 2012. “They were killing me on ESPN and they called you and everything,” said Lomas. “I just remember that time me and
Bobby Layne, Detroit Lions (Photo by George Gelatly/Getty Images) The Detroit Lions and Hall of Famer wide receiver Calvin Johnson have a ways to go in order to reconcile themselves. Yet this is just another example of how mismanaged this franchise has been. For 60 plus years the Detroit Lions have been the model of
I have to laugh. After all those years of Detroit Lions coaches offering careful and measured praise during the start of their tenures working with Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay has taken a completely different direction . Since the Rams mortgaged their future to acquire Stafford for three draft picks (including two first-rounders),

The Detroit Lions are hoping to be competitive in 2021. But the reality is the team is in the midst of a rebuild that just kicked off this offseason. And there’s been so much change so quickly, it’s hard to envision it all coming together in the span of a handful of months to equal
The Detroit Lions report for training camp in a little over a month. When they do, they will have a number of position battles to sort out. Some are obvious. The No. 5 receiver spot and starting safety job opposite Tracy Walker seem completely up for grabs. Some may not even materialize (looking at you,
Brad Holmes worked for four different general managers during his 18 years with the Los Angeles Rams. Whenever change happened, he was given a chance to prove he was worth keeping around. And when he took over as Detroit Lions GM earlier this year, Holmes wanted to afford that same opportunity to those in the
It’s a question many have asked repeatedly: “Is quarterback Jared Goff the answer for the Detroit Lions at the position going forward?” Is he a stop-gap? Is he in the Motor City just so to help the trade work for the desired draft capital? How long before the Lions draft a new quarterback? Many, many
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (13) (Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports) The most concerning positional group for the Detroit Lions entering training camp next month is undoubtedly their wide receiver corps.
