Summary
This week on the podcast, the Detroit Lions are on a bye, so Erik and Joe decided to deviate from their traditional format, put out a call for questions from listeners, and they responded in a big way.
In this week’s Mailbag, the fellas cover a lot of topics, including:
- Taylor Decker and Kevin Strong activated from IR
- Tommy Kraemer was released from 53 and signed to practice squad
- Tyrell Williams released with an injury settlement
- Are Jared Goff’s struggles fixable?
- How much can we blame/praise the coaching staff
- What should fans look forward to over the back half of the season?
- Expectations for specific players
- What will the Lions do at QB in the offseason?
- Any developmental QB options in free agency?
- Are Ole Miss’ Matt Corral or Liberty’s Malik Willis franchise QBs?
- Are Nevada’s Carson Strong or Cincinatti’s Desmond Ridder options?
- Should the Lions wait until 2023 to target a QB?
- What happens if they don’t address QB this offseason?
- Should the Lions take a QB or is Oregon’s EDGE Kayon Thibodeaux the answer?
- Is Thibodeaux that much better than Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson?
- Should the Lions claim WR Odell Beckham Jr off waivers?
- And more!

| 0:43.4 | that disaster. |

| 1:09.0 | Yeah, because it ended on the by week, right? |
| 1:11.5 | So Campbell had said that he thought they might get an extra week because of the biweek. |
