Jameson Williams (top of screen): no block, no rock. Watch him spring Jahmyr Gibbs for his longest run of Week 1 (14 yards) — Waymo’s relentless blocking paves the way for the cutback lane.

Dan Campbell on Jack Campbell: • “First off all — did anyone see Jack’s got a laceration. The defense loved it. He’s at the end of the game, trying to call plays, and blood spitting out everywhere and they were just eating it up.” • “He’s a stud, man.” • “He’s a workaholic, the knowledge for the game, the way he studies for the game, he prepares for it.” • “He’s just playing at a really high level right now.” • “We feel like the guy can do it all — that’s why he didn’t even come off the field. I mean he can do everything for us.” • “He’s all ball, man, and whatever you need he can do.”

Your Pride of Detroit Direct subscription essentially pays for itself just by hearing Erik describe Penei Sewell’s pulling prowess as pulling a grenade pin and tossing it at the side of a defense. Another worthwhile deep-dive mailbag podcast with an endless supply of intel in your inbox 📨

Loren Strickland (#48) Preseason PFF Stats • 86 snaps • 75.0 defensive grade • 89.0 run defense • 3 defensive stops Would not be denied a roster spot! Watch him be a heat seeking missile cleaning-up the tackle for loss after lining up 10+ yards from the line of scrimmage.

Not a top reason the Lions lost — they got thoroughly outplayed — but it’s worth noting: on Jack Campbell’s roughing-the-passer penalty, he actually put his right hand out to brace the impact and avoid landing with his full body weight on J.J. McCarthy.

You might actually remember new Detroit Lions DE Eric O'Neill for his excessive archer celebration that sparked a dust-up between James Madison and Western Kentucky back in 2024. He twice went full Legolas — rapid-fire, shield-surfing at Helm’s Deep mode 🏹📺🍿

Derrick Moore vs. Kadyn Proctor: Highlighting a few pass-rush reps where Moore took it to the Dolphins’ first-round left tackle Proctor in the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl — before Proctor exited the game with an injury.

2023 Blake Miller (#78) vs. Rueben Bain Jr. (#44) Providing the other 10 snaps where Miller and Bain were matched up from three years ago — beyond the screenshot play below. That screenshot play accounted for one of just two sacks Miller allowed across 539 pass-blocking snaps as a true sophomore. Worth noting: screenshots of football plays are often misleading, lack context, and are generally unhelpful. That rep came 2,200+ snaps ago, and Miller has made significant year-over-year strides — it’s not reflective of the player the Detroit Lions selected in Round 1.

Lions DT Mekhi Wingo had been a healthy scratch for 14 straight games since his Week 2 debut against the Bears, then popped off the screen in the season finale with plays like these. 🔺📈Stock-up: Mekhi Wingo, DT

Detroit Lions fifth-round WR Kendrick Law was initially my biggest surprise from the Lions’ 2026 NFL Draft class. It stopped being a surprise after watching his run-blocking reps over the last three years. He’s one of the best run-blocking WR prospects I’ve watched. While Kentucky underutilized that part of his game in its rinky-dink offense — using him more in motion, on ball fakes, and on screen-action deception — Alabama unleashed him as a blocking weapon. Kendrick Law — Run Blocking Highlights 🎬

The new “Tush Push” rule, is proposing a 10-yard penalty for any offensive teammate pushing or pulling a ball carrier, anywhere on the field — it would eliminate plays like this iconic David Montgomery run/surf. Plays that make football uniquely fun. Linemen live for this.

I’m requiring you to watch Penei Sewell bury Isaiah McGuire and then celebrate with Jahmyr Gibbs in the end zone at half-speed. Best run blocker in football, and it’s not up for debate. Outstanding execution by the entire right side — everyone bought in and did their job.

The five throws from yesterday where it felt like Jared Goff snapped them off and yelled “KOBE” after unloading under pressure in the cold. Do not let any Goff haters get their hands on these.

Impressive play here from Kerby Joseph. Aligned closer to the line of scrimmage with the Bengals in 12 personnel on first down, he bites on the play action but quickly recovers to make a play on the ball — forcing an incompletion on not the best throw on the move.
