Allen Park — Dan Campbell had a meaty, morning media session that went nearly 14 minutes and opened with the Detroit Lions coach sharing his, and by extension the organization’s, excitement about getting a contract extension done with offensive tackle Taylor Decker.
It's pretty clear from the way the vets have been talking that this team remains all business and on task regarding winning it all—and from the way the rookies have been talking that the same attitude has 1) rubbed off on them and 2) they were already the kind of players ready to grind. I love how the front office has built this team. All about that grit, baby!
Love the Rakestraw comment. Forcing a fumble is better than an interception. Holmes and Campbell sure like a certain type of player. The thing is Detroit likes those type of people too! Can the season just start!
Isn't the reason we kept Ben Johnson from Patricia's staff because Decker went to Campbell to lobby for keeping him when Dan was hired? I know Johnson worked for Campbell in Miami, but I seem to remember this from an article I read in 2021.

I think that was for Fraley
Glad to see/read about how physical the secondary is these days, versus kind of hoping they'd start to play more aggressively on the line.
