The Detroit Lions will approach the 2025 season with a new coaching staff and an improved defensive line, which was decimated by injuries previous season.
Spin on Sports/WJR sports talk radio personality Anthony Bellino appeared on the most recent episode of Lone Wolves to assess the season and examine how the team moves ahead in Dan Campbell’s sixth season at the helm.
“I’m looking at the Super Bowl trying to find ways to evaluate what are other teams really doing and what are they really good at,” said Bellino. “Philadelphia was really good at running the ball. They tried relentlessly with Saquon (Barkley). He had, what, 25 carries and 70 something yards. It’s not like he was a killer back there. But they hit some deep strikes. They did some good things on offense.
“But for me, that MVP award goes to the defensive line. They should have just brought the whole d-line up there and said, ‘Here you go. Here’s your trophy. We’ll get you a couple more copies of it so everyone can have one for the living room.’ That’s what I want to see out of our Detroit Lions,” Bellino continued. “We talk about complimentary football all the time. Your defense has to complement your offense, your offense to your special teams, and so on and so forth.”
The most recent episode also delves into how running back Jahmyr Gibbs will play a larger role in the Lions’ offense, how Detroit is overhauling their coaching staff, how the team is perceived differently now that they can be a regular winner, and how Myles Garrett will revolutionize Detroit’s defensive line.
