Did Brad Holmes Just Give Away Penei Sewell’s Future With Detroit Lions?
Lions GM Brad Holmes discusses offensive line flexibility and hints at a possible role change for Penei Sewell.
The Detroit Lions may have just tipped their hand when it comes to the future of their offensive line. During his recent appearance on the Lions Collective podcast , general manager Brad Holmes offered insight into how the team is approaching the tackle position. And in doing so, he revealed something important about Penei Sewell .
Flexibility is the plan. And that could mean a major shift is on the table. Lions High on Larry Borom Holmes spent time discussing newly added offensive lineman Larry Borom, and it is clear the Lions see real value in what he brings.
“Looking at Larry Borom, we obviously did a lot of work on him coming out in the draft process. ” That evaluation did not stop once Borom entered the league. “When he was with Chicago, we had a lot of exposure to him playing different spots.
But seeing what he did in Miami, especially at right tackle, and then looking at the film, I thought, ‘Man, this is probably the most consistent ball I’ve seen him play. ’” Holmes pointed to right tackle as the spot where Borom has shown the most consistency. “Then you take a deeper dive into him at right tackle in the past, and you start seeing a level of consistency there versus the guard spots or the left tackle spots.
