Right from the jump, you can see how Petzing appealed to Lions head coach Dan Campbell. You can clearly tell the intelligence is there. Petzing\u2019s answers were concise and showed a lot of personality, too. And watching from a fan\u2019s perspective, it should give you a lot of hope for the offense moving forward. He spoke at length about how his idea of offense through the years has always been centered around his personnel<\/a>, and what they are best at on the field. And if you are Petzing, you have to be excited about the talent on his new offense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen the other part of calling plays for three years, you start to figure out why you\u2019re doing things, how to highlight talent that you do or don\u2019t have,\u201d said Petzing in regards to his vision for the offense. \u201cI think that\u2019s something that hopefully people were able to see throughout my three years there in Arizona. And I\u2019m hoping I\u2019m getting better every single game and every year I\u2019m doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, it was a really great conversation, and hopefully gave a lot of insight on Petzing will build out the offense in 2026 and beyond. That brings us to the question of the day –<\/p>\n

What was your favorite part of Petzing\u2019s interview with Pride of Detroit?<\/p>\n

My Answer: I am going with Petzing\u2019s comments about Lions running back David Montgomery. Since the season has ended, there has been speculation as to whether Montgomery would return for the 2026 season. However, if you ask Petzing whether or not he wants the veteran back in the building for the coming season, I think the answer is pretty clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wanted to ensure me, to let me know that he wants me to be a part of it,\u201d Montgomery told Chris Simms in a recent interview. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s next and see what kind of happens now.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the interview, Petzing didn\u2019t delve too far into the conversations he has had with Montgomery, but it\u2019s obvious he wants him in the fold this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m excited to work with you. I can\u2019t wait to get you into the building,\u2019 and that\u2019s where I\u2019m going to leave it,\u201d Petzing explained.<\/p>\n
