Allen Park — On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to interview Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes along with my three co-hosts from the “Lions Collective” podcast — Colton Pouncy, Will Burchfield and Jeff Iafrate.

The conversation spanned nearly an hour and I’d like to believe we hit on most of the topics that have been gnawing at the minds of the more engaged segment of the team’s fan base.

Taking the rest of the day to left the conversation marinate in the public sphere, as well as my own mind, I wanted to come back with some thoughts on Holmes’ answers during the wide-ranging chat.

If you haven’t watched or listened to the interview, I’d strongly encourage you to make the time, so you can draw your own conclusions. I’m simply offering my perspective, as someone who spends most of their waking hours thinking or writing about this team you love.
