Summary

The best conversations about the Lions from Costa & Jansen with Heather, Karsch & Anderson, and The Valenti Show during the week of Feb. 24-28. This week, there was lots of discussion about head-turning comments from former Lions offensive coordinator turned Bears head coach Ben Johnson. Karsch and Anderson discuss whether Johnson's remarks constitute "shots being fired." Valenti wonders who will win the parting of Johnson from Lions QB Jared Goff. Other topics include whether the dream of acquiring Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett is dead; players who have caught the attention of Costa and Jansen at the NFL Scouting Combine; and former Lion Jonah Jackson seeking a trade from the Rams.
