First Byte: Damon Harrison trade analysis, previewing Lions-Seahawks

Normally, our First Byte podcast is a nice “bite-sized” podcast to help preview the Detroit Lions’ upcoming matchup. But this week, special moments require special accommodations. So instead of jumping right into our Lions-Seahawks preview, there was some business to attend to.

The Detroit Lions traded for Damon “Snacks” Harrison this week, and Jeremy and Ryan could not be more thrilled. We go off for a full 20 minutes just talking about the implications the trade has, and how it could potentially immediately thrust the Lions into the playoff and division race.

After the two take a minute to catch their breath and take a cold shower, they bring in John Gilbert from Field Gulls to help preview the Week 8 matchup between the Lions and Seahawks.
