In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case cover the kickoff of the Detroit Lions Preseason! With game one in the books we have a lot to discuss. The team didn’t look great, there were a number of injuries, and the score was just plain ugly. Is this indicative of what to expect from the team in 2019? Should we just chalk it up? Cash in until 2020? We tackle these questions and more this week…  Also, we end the show with the Dan Miller interview of Dean Blandino from our Training Camp Party last week. Dan combines no-holds-barred questions from the audience and his own questions with a personal story that will knock you off your seat in this amazing interview. We put it at the very end of the podcast for your enjoyment.  We highly recommend seeing the video version here – you don’t want to miss this. Detroit Lions Podcast Back In The Studio! We start off by thanking the people who took part in our Training Camp week. It was amazing for us, and we can’t thank everyone who took part in making the week so successful. I am 100% certain we missed people and we sincerely apologize for that, it was a whirlwind week and we’re still recovering. So much so that we added more thank yous at the end of the show. If we missed you, we are so sorry – we talk about Case’s multiple concussions later in the show, and that’s the least of the reasons we’re too dumb to remember everyone who deserves a call out… Next we dive in on game 1 of the preseason. Hooray, its football! Boo, its ugly! We seem to get so caught up in the offseason and the buildup to finally seeing our boys hit the field that we often forget what the preseason really means – which is, not much. With that we separate the wheat and the chaff, talk about what we should worry about and what we shouldn’t. We also talk about where things looked sharp and which of those things are important. The team was bit hard by the injury bug and we help bring some clarity to what that means for the team in the long run. Fantasy Football Sign Up Is Now! Don’t forget, our Detroit Lions Podcast Fantasy Football season has opened up! We have made big changes this year as a result of your feedback – no IDP leagues, it’s all team defense, no more cross-league competition it’s you against 11 others for that first place cash, we’ve even got a few Pick ‘Em leagues! /u/A5hcrack did the math and realized we’ve quadrupled the number of prizes. Check it out and sign up here! We also discuss the offensive line play we saw in preseason game 1. It was abhorrent. We discuss Tyrell Crosby and what to take away from his performance. We also bring context to what we were actually watching with the line and why there’s no reason to panic. Dan Miller’s Candid Interview With Dean Blandino Finally, we added Dan Miller’s great interview of Dean Blandino from our Training Camp party to the end of the show. It’s an absolute can’t miss conversation done in the way that only Dan can do. That alone is worth the price of admission.
