Next Man Up: Beau-lstering depth along the offensive line
After a season of worrisome play at guard and the Lions’ best guard retiring, fans should be worried... or should they? The Detroit Lions are in a peculiar position at offensive guard. They struggled to keep quarterback Matthew Stafford upright when starting right guard T.J. Lang was injured in 2018. Now, Lang has retired and the Lions failed to address the position in the draft. Thus, it’s only logical to assume they got worse at the position. Looking at the situation through a different lens may provide a different perspective. 2018 first-round pick Frank Ragnow, who has the...

Taylor Decker thinks Lions o-line chemistry is the best he’s ever had

Last year, we saw glimpses of what the unit could be as a whole, but with a major piece in T.J. Lang now enjoying retirement, the rest of the squad is going to have to step up collectively in his absence and play more consistently this season. Left tackle Taylor Decker is optimistic.

POLL: Who should start at right guard?
Who do you want to win out the right guard position battle? In terms of starting jobs, the Detroit Lions don’t have a ton up for grabs this season. General manager Bob Quinn has done a formidable job this offseason making sure that every position has a clear and—at the very least—adequate starter. One of the few exceptions to that is the situation at right guard. After making the difficult decision to cut Pro Bowl guard T.J. Lang, Quinn hasn’t made a definitive move to find a starter there. Oday Aboushi, mostly a backup for his entire career, may be considered the favorite. Kenny...
