Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast.

I'm Joe Kanya.

With me, as always, is Eric Schlett from USA Today, Lions Wire.

Also happens to be our Detroit Magazine's 2020, number two most beloved sports columnist blogger of the year.

So look out Mitch.

She's on his way.

Eric, training camp, quote unquote unquote training camp as well underway. And we're going to go through,

you know, this is phase one. Let's start talking about phase one. And it all starts with,

we have 90 guys in camp. And there was talk about, the only way you could have 90 guys is if you split them into two facilities, and it looks like that's what the lines elected to do.

Yeah, so what they did was, I don't believe they're using Ford Field.

I think what they're doing is they're splitting the times at which players are in the building.

And the protocols with that, I know last week we had talked about them possibly being able to pick and choose the guys that they didn't,

you know, that they put into different groups. It's actually, they didn't have an option with that.

They had to take all their rookies and guys with one year of experience

and put them in one group and then all of their two-year experience

and up in another group.

So they were, it was predetermined that they had to allocate guys into separate groups.

So then once you get in, once the Lions got their 90-man

roster split, then they divided people up into smaller groups from a training perspective anyways.

They didn't want the entire offensive line group working in one training unit and then one person to get it.

And then all of a sudden your whole offensive line is down.

So they've merged different position groups together in order to have different players from different position groups training at the same time in the smaller group type setting.
