Lions’ 2025 Season: Defense and New Coaching Staff Will Be Key
As the Detroit Lions gear up for the 2025 season, there’s a sense of optimism surrounding the revamped coaching staff and a defensive line that’s expected to bounce back from a tough, injury-plagued 2024 season. On the latest episode of the Lone Wolves podcast, sports talk radio host Anthony Bellino discussed what’s next for the Lions, emphasizing how important the defense will be to their success moving forward under Dan Campbell in his fifth season.
Bellino pointed to the importance of a solid defensive line, referencing the Philadelphia Eagles’ dominance during their Super Bowl run. “The MVP award should have gone to the defensive line,” Bellino said, referring to their relentless pressure that helped their team succeed. He believes this is the kind of performance the Lions should aim for to take their team to the next level.
The podcast also delved into how the offense, specifically Jahmyr Gibbs, will play a bigger role in 2025. With significant upgrades and a revamped coaching staff, there’s growing confidence that the Lions are poised to be a consistent winner, challenging for a deeper postseason run.
In addition, Bellino discussed the potential impact of defensive stalwarts like Myles Garrett in Detroit, and how these additions could solidify a defense that complements the offense in ways the Lions have yet to fully achieve.
With a coaching staff overhaul and an eye on bringing in top-tier talent, the Lions are positioning themselves to be more than just a playoff contender. They want to be a team with a complete roster—one where all three phases of the game (offense, defense, and special teams) work seamlessly together.
