LETS GO IM SO READY FOR DETROIT FOOTBALL!!!
#OnePride
Never seen Taylor Swift start her second season 1-6 and have doubts cast upon her and fans calling for her job just to lead the youngest team in the NFL on a 6-1 stretch, play some of the best football Detroit has seen in years, to get to .500 and be in the heat of a playoff race
sports will NEVER be as important as music or any other art. everyone can run and kick balls. a FEW can write and produce songs. being creative and expressing yourselves is something no football player can do successfully and win awards for that
Detroit Lions OL coach Hank Fraley doesnt get nearly enough of the credit he deserves
MNF vs LVR:
- Backup center
- Two backup guards
- A third string guard at one point
- A RB who people said “can’t run between the tackles”🥴
- 226 yards on the ground 😤
- 5.6 ypc💪🏼
#OnePride
Honestly, something that’s kind of going under the radar with Ben Johnson returning to Detroit.
Hank Fraley, the Lions OL coach will not be following him as his OC.
Coach Fraley is a integral part to this Detroit Lions offense and I’m glad he’s still in the D.
#AllGrit
Do Detroit Lions fans remember when Golden Tate had the most disrespectful touchdown of all time?
He literally told the Vikings to kiss his ass 😭😭🤣
#OnePride
We have witnessed the birth of a superstar in the NHL.
The Detroit Red Wings need to ink Lucas Raymond for 8 years at $8 Million a year.
Put an A on his chest. 31 goals on the season and the two biggest for the team on the year.
HE. IS. HIM.
#LGRW
My guy Kerby Joseph had 4 more interceptions, 3 more PBU's, 20 more tackles and 11% less completion percentage allowed than Kyle Hamilton but Hamilton made it on the All Rookie team over him? 🤔🤔🤔 oh... and he's Aaron Rodgers FATHER.
#OnePride
Well guess what Detroit fans. YOUR Detroit Red Wings are in 3rd place in the East and lead the conference in goals scored. Can we stop wasting energy on the Pistons and support a team that actually deserves it?
#LGRW
Brian Branch is real…. When I saw him jogging off the field in the tunnel I keep yelling
“Second round huh!?!?! Tell them about the second round!!!”
He looked at me and smiled. The man played his ass off today.
My takeaways from the
#Lions
first joint practice
- They’re much better than the Giants
- Hutch is gonna be a problem in year two
- Dylan Drummond hype is real
- CJGJ and Kerby’s energy is unmatched
- Gibbs looks at home running with the first unit
#OnePride
Some people say David Montgomery isn’t a difference maker for the Lions.
I think the Chargers disagree 😉
Oh and 121 yards and 3 TD’s on Green Bay’s head mad a difference.
#OnePride
Detroit
#Lions
fans… this is your franchise, this your First Team All Pro, this was the draft pick that started it all, this is the best offensive lineman in the NFL.
This is Penei Sewell.
#AllGrit
This is the third game in four weeks that Jared Goff has had 3 turnovers. Completely unacceptable for any QB in the NFL. The Detroit Lions cannot consistently win games with that happening.
Detroit Lions star Penei Sewell is THE BEST OL in the NFL and he’s only 23 years old.
- 93.1 Run blocking grade (per
@PFF
)
- 644 Pass blocking snaps
- 1 sack allowed
- First team All Pro
The man hasn’t even entered his prime yet and he’s dominating the NFL.
#AllGrit
Brad Holmes made it a point that Kindle Vildor (type players) will NEVER play meaningful snaps for the Lions at corner in an NFC championship game again.
DEPTH DEPTH DEPTH
The Detroit Lions now have 5 starting caliber CB’s
#NFLDraft
#OnePride
DJ Reader is a guy that I really want for the Detroit Lions.
- 6’3” 330lbs
- COMMANDS a double team
- Essential for Trey Hendrickson getting 17.5 sacks in 2023
- Perfect piece in between Hutch and Alim
A big body to eat blocks and frees up your pass rushers.
#OnePride
Jack Campbell will be the player impacted MOST by the addition of DJ Reader.
Give this giant athletic missile of a human someone infront of him to eat double teams and fill gaps so he can just get downhill and attack.
110+ total tackles for the Detroit Lions linebacker in his
Ndamukong Suh and his camp reached out the the Detroit Lions and expressed interest in a return to the motor city. The Detroit Lions shut down the conversation.
Hey at least we got the vibes 😭
#OnePride
Per
@terryfosterdet
$73 Million singing bonus is INSANE.
That means the cap hit is going to be veerrrrry low for the Detroit Lions.
I knew Brad Holmes would structure this deal so it works out well for both parties.
#OnePride
Details on Lions QB Jared Goff's four-year, $212 million extension ...
• $73 million signing bonus.
• $125 million over the first two years.
• $165 million over the first three years.
• $57 million in 2028, which is an option year.
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
Ben Johnson’s first official text since announcing his return to Detroit has been released!!!
The Lions OC texted All Pro Center Frank Ragnow.
Per sources
Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes on how Mekhi Wingo fits on this team and how his edge rushing upside made him stand out. 👀
VERSATILITY
#OnePride
#NFLDraft
I really don’t understand how fans of other teams in the NFC North can see the Detroit Lions, a team that made the NFC Championship game,
1) Vastly improve two biggest weaknesses (IDL and CB) with players like DJ Reader, Carlton Davis and Terrion Arnold
2) Have studs like Brain
Last week DJ Chark said Ben Johnson was using him in ways nobody else has in his career. Expect a very diverse route tree for the
#Lions
wideout.
#OnePride
Brad Holmes just added ProBowl guard Kevin Zeitler to the best offensive line in the NFL.
- Insane versatility on OL
- Hank Fraley best OL coach in the NFL
- Goff will be the least sacked QB in the NFL
- Gibbs 1200+ yards rushing
Amazing add to the Detroit Lions.
#OnePride
The Kevin Zeitler signing reminds me of the Chauncey Gardner-Johnson move from last year.
When you think Brad’s done he gets one of the best players on the market out of nowhere.
This frees the Detroit Lions up to do anything they want in the draft.
WR in round one?
#OnePride
I love
@DanMillerFox2
He said “takes those three letters and retire them”
The voice of Detroit Lions football putting what haunted me growing up to bed.
#AllGrit
Season stats:
“Huge Reach” Sam Laporta:
81 Catches 🤲🏼
860 Yards 😤
9 TDs 🙌🏻
Probowl ✅
“Generational” Kyle Pitts:
51 Catches 🤣
640 Yards 🥺
3 TD’s 😶
Cancun trip 🚤
Sam Laporta came for names this season. Brad Holmes with another ProBowler outside of the 1st round.
#OnePride
I had a dream last night that I was at the Super Bowl watching the Detroit Lions with my friends and family.
Amon-Ra St.Brown had 6 catches for 65 yards and a TD on the first drive.
We were singing Forward Down the Field at the SUPER BOWL.
#AllGrit
I’ll never say anything bad about Jared Goff for the rest of my life.
I have my beliefs but he won my favorite sports team of all time a NFC North Championship and a playoff game.
For the first time in my life.
#AllGrit
The Detroit Lions just signed THE BEST offensive lineman in the NFL, Penei Sewell, to a 4 year $112M extension with $85M guaranteed.
Penei Sewell is the piece that issued in the Brand New Lions. He was Brad Holmes’ first selection as a GM and has blossomed into the best lineman
THEY CIRCLED SKIPPER! SKIPPER DID NOT REPORT, DECKER DID!!!
THE NFL IS GASLIGHTING LIONS FANS RIGHT NOW
Instead of this BS have Brad Allen come out and issue an apology.
#OnePride
Woooooooow.
We all know Brad Holmes loves to double up on the same position in his drafts. He just did the Detroit Lions get Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
This could be the best DB room in Detroit Lions history when it’s all said and done.
#NFLDraft
#OnePride
Hey Tom, get off your ass and do something. Stop being useless and fire Arn Tellum, Ed Tellum, and Troy Weaver or sell the damn team. Sitting back and doing nothing while you own the worst franchise in professional sports is embarrassing and a disservice to an amazing fan base.

LEGENDARY QUOTE!!! I got my ski mask on the way.
#OnePride
Detroit Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell on what makes All Pro C Frank Ragnow so great.
“He is the best center in the league….”
Ragnow didn’t miss a snap in the playoff win after suffering both knee and ankle injuries.
#AllGrit
Jalen Reagor vs Lions: 0 catches for 0 yards.
Penei Sewell vs Vikings: 1 catch for 9 yards.
Guy guaranteed a W then had less catches than the Lions right tackle. Oh and the Lions won 34-23
#OnePride
Man….. for Kerby Joseph being such a dirty player you’d think the NFL would fined him A LOT more frequently…. kinda like he plays the game how the league office tells them to.
Barring another move for a CB, I whole heartedly believe Carlton Davis will be CB1 for the Detroit Lions next season.
- Tall, long armed and physical
- Comfortable in man coverage
- Handles bigger WR’s very well
He’s a perfect fit for what Aaron Glenn wants to do on defense.
PFF has been releasing their Top 101 Players of 2023. So far…..
- Brian Branch at 84
- Jared Goff at 83
- Sam Laporta at 79
- Alim McNeill at 78
Are these Detroit
#Lions
players ranked correctly? Where do you think others will fall? (Top 40 still to come)
#AllGrit
#OnePride
People forget about Donovan Peoples-Jones as a playmaker.
In 2022
- 61 receptions 🤲🏼
- 839 yards (13.8 ypc) 💨
Measurables
- 6’2” 215lbs 💪🏼
- 4.4 sec 40 🏃
- 44.5 inch vertical 🐰
More than capable of being a WR3 in this Ben Johnson offense for the
#Lions
#OnePride
Brad Holmes getting Mekhi Wingo in the 6th round might be the steal of the draft.
The Detroit Lions have built a very nice rotation on that interior defensive line.
If DJ Reader needs a breather you bring in Brodric Martin and if Alim McNeill needs a breather you bring in
QB’s who outplayed Jared Goff this week:
Bailey Zappe
Joe Flacco
Zach Wilson
Justin Fields
Desmond Ridder
Jake Browning
(Tommy Devito loading)
Y’all still ready to pay him $50 Million per season?
The Detroit Red Wings had a hell of a season. 91 points is nothing to scoff at.
They left a lot of points out there but if they had respectable goaltending they’d be in the playoffs.
The best takeaways for me:
- Larkin showing why he got the C
- Raymond becoming him
- Kane
