Ask POD: Detroit Lions Week 9 mailbag submissions

With the Detroit Lions' bye week upon us, and coming off arguably the most disastrous loss of the season, we’re sure you’ve got plenty to say and more than a few questions (you’re not alone).

So, it’s the perfect time for another edition of the Ask POD Lions mailbag.

Each week we ask our readers to submit questions about the Lions in the comment section of this article or by going onto Twitter and asking your question using the hashtag #AskPOD. Over the next few days, Jeremy Reisman and Erik Schlitt will comb through the questions, pick out the most relevant topics, and give our answers in a future article.

This is a weekly question and answer session, and if you missed any of our previous installments, you can catch up on our past mailbags here:
