The bye week is a good time for reflection on the Detroit Lions and the first five weeks of the NFL season. To help digest the bye and offer a different look at the team, the Daily DLP welcomes Brett Whitefield to the show.
Whitefield is, among other things, the COO of Fantasy Points. The site goes beyond fantasy football and deeper into analytical analysis and team/player tendencies. Formerly the Pro Football Focus rep for Detroit, Whitefield served as both credentialed media and had access to the front office during his time with PFF.
Starting with a recap of how the Lions got to 3-2 at the bye, Whitefield and host Jeff Risdon hit on a variety of topics. Among them:
--Jared Goff as a viable MVP candidate
--Jack Campbell's slow start
--How much can be gleaned from beating a bad Arizona team?
--Where can the Lions defense improve?
--Adjusted season outlook for the Lions now
It's a fast-paced show that hits on a lot of things that Lions fans want to know about.
