The wheelhouse of the Detroit Lions’ offense is under scrutiny — and head coach Dan Campbell made sure everyone knew it. With their ground game sputtering and pass-protection breakdowns piling up, Campbell admitted the team is often “considering everything” when it comes to the interior offensive line.
To be clear: we’re not just talking about game-to-game tweaks. The words suggest a deeper overhaul. The Lions’ problems up front include injuries, contract uncertainty, and depth concerns at guard and center. While the tackles—like Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker—remain high-end, the interior hasn’t had the same consistency.
Campbell’s comment underscores the urgency: Detroit’s identity relies on dominance up front, and when the trenches slip, the entire offense suffers. Whether that means benching veterans, promoting younger players, or making a trade before the deadline, the message is loud: the Lions aren’t waiting quietly anymore.
For the men in the huddle, this is a moment of accountability. For GM Brad Holmes, it’s a reminder that every game counts — and the time for half-measures is gone.
If the Lions don’t act, they risk their playoff trajectory. If they do, this could mark the turning point for their season.
