""Year 5, this is the best we've felt about it from top to bottom," Campbell said. "Now, that being said, there's still holes, but I bring this up all the time, every roster has holes. You'll never have it exactly where you totally want it, but from where we've come, year after year, we've taken it another level.""
""With cut-down day on Tuesday, both Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes will have some difficult decisions to make, but he likes where they stand on offense, defense and special teams heading into their Week 1 matchup at Green Bay on Sept. 7. Since Campbell and Holmes arrived in 2021, the Lions have gone from a 3-13-1 record in 2021, to 9-8 in 2022, to 12-5 in 2023, to a record-setting 15-2 mark in 2024.""
The Lions enter Year 5 of the current regime with what the organization views as its deepest roster to date. Upcoming roster cut-downs will require difficult choices from the coaching staff and general manager. Jared Goff returns as veteran quarterback, supported by first-team All-Pros Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kerby Joseph and Penei Sewell. Offensive and defensive coordinator positions changed as both coordinators accepted NFL head-coaching roles. Detroit led the NFL in scoring (33.2 points per game) last season and finished seventh in points allowed (20.1) despite finishing December with a league-high 16 players on injured reserve. Week 1 is at Green Bay on Sept. 7.
