Inside the Den 2022

Behind the scenes at the Senior Bowl.

We've got an incredibly likable staff. I feel like the Lions have to be the favorites to end up on Hard Knocks this year. 

[Just Want A Title]

I watched this on the Lions website.  It is really well made and gives a lot of insight into the mindset of Brad Holmes and company.

Just watching episode 2... it's a really well done series and we'll see even more of this on Hard Knocks. 

You can see that the players like and respect their coaches and vice versa. It's a very likeable group but they also have been progressing forward and seem to be working hard towards a plan. I wanted Quintricia to work out because I didn't want us to be in this constant rebuild every 3 years but I have a lot more faith in this group in actually accomplishing that.

I wish we would have seen more Holmes/Campbell and less Ledesma. He creeps me out.

I enjoyed hearing Aaron Glenn's pitch for why someone would want to play for Detroit.

I have to watch this... haven't been able to find the time. Thanks for bringing this the attention it deserves.

Glenn and Pleasant are treasures for this organization. Selfishly, I'm glad we were able to keep both this offseason.

I feel like this will be the last year we get to keep both. Either Pleasant is going to get a DC job and/or Glenn will get a HC job.

Sadly, I agree.

Breaking down the video, there's a couple times they show the position coaches speaking to players. Trying to figure out who each person might be.

DL Coach: Refers to players "speed and power"

• Eric Johnson, Missouri State, DL
• Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan, DE
• Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon, DE
• Travon Walker, Georgia, DE
• Jermaine Johnson, Florida State, DE
• Chris Hinton, DT, Michigan (Local Pro Day)

LB Coach: "Dynamic WILL LB"

• Nakobe Dean, Georgia <<< 
• Quay Walker, Georgia
• Brian Asamoah, Oklahoma <<< 
• Devin Harper, Oklahoma State
• Jeremiah Tyler, Princeton (Local Pro Day)

WR Coach: 

• Treylon Burks, Arkansas
• Garrett Wilson, Ohio State
• Drake London, USC
• Chad Gilliard, Saginaw Valley State (Local Pro Day)
• Daylen Baldwin, Michigan (Local Pro Day)
• Jalen Martin, Pittsburgh State (Local Pro Day)

The more we find out about the coaches the more excited I am as a fan.

Hard to believe following a 3 win season but I’m more excited for the teams future than at anytime since Barry Sanders retired.

You could see the change in the Lions as the season progressed.

Ideally Pleasant takes over at DC when Glenn gets a HC job.

I think Speed and power was referring to Kayvon. "The highest ceiling as an athlete." *Brad Homles smirk*

When they discussed the athletic guy whose production was just not there, they are definitely referring to Travon Walker.
