Top sleeper trade target that I would want Brad Holmes to make for the Lions is CB JuJu Brents, Miami Noted him as a trade option last month, he’s had a strong start to the season prideofdetroit.com/detroit-l…

Julius Brents was drafted with pick 44 of round 2 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 9.99 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 4 out of 2222 CB from 1987 to 2023. ras.football/ras-information…

Fits the culture too. Via Dane Brugler’s Draft Profile: “has experience at both cornerback and safety … coachable and doesn’t mind being challenged (KSU cornerbacks coach Van Malone: “Heis one of the hardest workers on the team and has been since he arrived.”)”

This is why the Lions best 5 is with Cade Mays, not Juice Scruggs.
Jeffery Simmons is very, very strong

That’s going to be rough not having first round picks + the contract cost. Bold is a word. Desperate is the better word.
The Bears are sending two first-round picks and a fourth-rounder to the Titans for Jeff Simmons. A monster deal.

Excellent breakdown of how Flores designs his blitzes to never be wrong. The advantage the Lions can have is decoding these rules and creating false reads to manipulate defenders.
How do the Vikings keep getting away with stacking the LOS?

Detroit is building red-zone plays around Jamo's speed now. "Jameson Williams is a nightmare for defensive coordinators because he can take the top off the defense at any moment with his speed… Drew Petzing does an awesome job designing a play for Williams using his speed horizontally."

Jordan Love averaged 10.2 air yards per attempt on Sunday the deepest of any QB this week but only 18% of his attempts gained 10+ yards the lowest rate of any QB and Love's early-down throws averaged 4.0 yards per attempt the worst of any QB

Lions defense last 4 weeks. 📈
Offensive and defensive explosive play rates: The 49ers are the only team to rank in the top five of both!

I don’t think Lions fans have had this problem—respectfully—that’s more of an external narrative.
Dear @Lions fans—respectfully—if Ben Johnson made these calls you’d be praising him. Give Petzing his flowers… #nfllive

Brian Branch’s return will have ripple effects across every position group because he changes the math in the run and pass.
