The Detroit Lions are looking to build on their success from the 2023 season as they enter a pivotal offseason.
A youthful, core group of players gained their first taste of postseason victory and is projected to make another jump forward in 2024.
During his season-ending media availability, Detroit general manager Brad Holmes stated that the front office will work to improve all elements of the team.
While he did not directly mention the defense, upgrades are expected, particularly in the secondary.
“I mean, we want to improve every year. I don’t think it’s just one place. I think that’s when you get into trouble, when you believe you’re good at something and don’t need to work on it anymore,” Holmes added. “We’ll always be honing our skills in all areas, and I don’t believe there is such a thing as perfection.
“So, we’ll just aim to continue to improve in all areas, which we will, and we’ve already begun. It’s hardly surprising that we ended up where we did. It will be expected early this year. “We didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, which was disappointing,” Holmes continued. “Again, it wasn’t, ‘Man, we got lucky.'” No, it was what we expected, and while it fell short, we still accomplished a lot. We will improve in all areas.”
The latest All Lions “Bang The Table” episode, with guest Jeff Iafrate, discusses how the Lions can take the next step in their rebuilding process, as expectations have skyrocketed.
