Summary

Another scrimmage today in Allen park and another solid day for the Lions defense. We talk about why the offense is not clicking as much as the defensive unit so far. And we will give you a hint: The O Line has struggled. The Lions need improved depth, especially at Left Tackle. You will hear from GM Brad Holmes on Za Darius Smith and will the Lions top 2 rookies play on Friday night in ATL? Plus, a national host takes a few digs at the Lions.
