WEBVTT 1 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:34.039 Everybody. It is x'es and bros. Here on the Michigan Sports Network, 2 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.880 Matt Shepherd's off for this holiday weekend. I'm Gonnas fifth, the in coming 3 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.280 in off the bench, ready to fire and ready to go. Let's dive 4 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:54.719 right into it. It is Lions front and center. And the question to 5 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.520 you, is a super Bowl or bus this season for the Lions? That 6 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.599 was the question post to Detroit Lions head coach yesterday Dan Campbell. He says 7 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.079 he doesn't see bust, he sees super Bowl. What about you? What 8 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.319 about you sports fans when it comes to the Lions, do you consider it 9 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:19.959 a super Bowl or bus type situation? Now, joining us is easy. 10 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.840 You dial in eight sixty six eight three eight forty eight forty three. That's 11 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:34.079 the Meyer hotline eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. I'd 12 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.680 love to hear from a first timer. Heck, since I've only done a 13 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.400 few shows, everybody that calls for me is a first timer, So I 14 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:46.079 would like to hear from you. You also have the ability to text us 15 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.799 and get your thoughts in that way. You text Sports Radio one word to 16 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.760 twenty one thousand, and then you get a prompt and then you text in 17 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.040 and we read those texts over the air, and it's a lot of fun. 18 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.439 It feels good and you put your name next to it, and then 19 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:12.240 you know that's cool. I the previous few shows had run into an issue 20 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.280 because I was trying to say hi to Ben Zoe's who is the producer on 21 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.120 the variable Resistors, And I text sports radio a few times to twenty one 22 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.840 thousand, and I was like, hey, Ben, and he never said 23 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.039 anything, and I thought, wow, well, you know he's not responding 24 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.840 to just a little high bend. So I did it a couple of times. 25 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.080 I didn't think anything about it, but I was putting a space between 26 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.039 sports radio sports radio all one word. Now, it might take a little 27 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:51.000 bit of work because when I tried it the first time, it automatically put 28 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.000 a space in there. So but once you get it down, you do 29 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.520 get that prompt and you can participate that way. So that's it with the 30 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.719 Lion. Is it super Bowl or bust? I'm gonna answer that question to 31 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.800 myself. Tigers lose last night. They've lost five in a row, nine 32 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:13.680 to one. The Jay's pound them elsewhere in the playoffs. Dallas takes a 33 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.599 one zero lead in the Western Finals, they get a Connor McDavid goal in 34 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.919 double overtime. They beat Dallas three to two. The Boston Celtics go up 35 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.759 two to oh in the Eastern Conference Final. They went by sixteen at the 36 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:34.319 Garden last night. Tyrese Haliburton from the Pacers pulls a hammy and leaves in 37 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:40.879 the third quarter in a big question mark next to Halliburton status for Game three 38 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.800 obviously something to monitor. We've got Panthers Rangers Game two tonight, Game two, 39 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.879 MAVs t. Wolves, all of that out there. Pistons hiring Trajan 40 00:03:53.000 --> 00:04:00.639 Langdon as president of Basketball ops and he'll be calling the shot. Let's talk 41 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.479 last hour about what he needs to do in the first order of business when 42 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:12.919 it comes down to it. Now, the Lions made the NFC Championship Game 43 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:23.800 last year, and the town, the state is on fire. Everyone has 44 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:34.480 Lions fever and the only prescription is a super Bowl to get it done. 45 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.480 And so yeah, the first thing you want to say is yes, and 46 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.560 is super Bowl or bus for this team? And the super Bowl for this 47 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:56.639 team is achievable, but it doesn't necessarily have to be this upcoming season. 48 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:03.120 Now, it would be great you know, for years it was suggested it 49 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:10.360 would be talked about. I couldn't handle it talking about the Lions and the 50 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:18.240 Super Bowl, that these two things didn't fit and it didn't matter. People 51 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.519 would still say, could you just imagine what it would be like if the 52 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.800 Lions won the Super Bowl? A? Yeah, can you imagine if I 53 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.040 won the lie? You know, like, sure, yeah, it would 54 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:35.959 be great. But we just we had the experience last year of somewhat of 55 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.480 what it would be like, and everybody for years to say, oh, 56 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.160 it'd pale in comparison to the Wings and the Pistols. If the Alliance want 57 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.959 it, just the way everybody would go and the way everybody would act. 58 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.399 And then I always thought that, you know, dealing with Detroit sports fans, 59 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.360 that Detroit sports fans would be that'd be all upset if they made the 60 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.319 Super Bowl, about the national media not giving them credit, talking about the 61 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.439 other teams, somebody taking a shot at Detroit City, all those things that 62 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.920 you know that happened over the years, and it wouldn't be about actual alliance. 63 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.920 I couldn't have been more wrong about that. Last year during their run, 64 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:25.199 they were the darling of the NFL and they deserved all of the credit 65 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:33.360 that they were getting. They have put together an incredible team built inside out, 66 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:43.759 with their calling card being a tremendous offensive line. But they can get 67 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.160 you through the air, they can do it on the ground, and now 68 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:54.079 thinking about where they needed to improve, they've popped the hood on the defense 69 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.519 and they've gone to work there. So you should feel great about the chance. 70 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:08.360 But the run last year, it was it was better than I even 71 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.879 thought that I could have imagined, and I heard everybody talk about how greaty 72 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.240 it was going to be. But the win over the Rams was the most 73 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.600 incredible game that I've ever seen from the Lions, most exciting, most intense, 74 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:24.560 and the greatest in Lions history, at least in my lifetime. And 75 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:30.720 they followed it up with another win, and then at halftime I do remember 76 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.360 saying and even tweeting out, the Lions look super but they've got one half 77 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:42.120 to go and we know what happened there. But the Lions have a window. 78 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.920 But this doesn't sound as nice. The Lions have a shot, I 79 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:55.800 would think, in three years to get this done. So it's a is 80 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:03.839 it a three year or bus type proposition that sounds a little bit. I 81 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.759 don't know if it sounds a vanilla easy cop out, lazy whatever he could 82 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.519 say there put the pressure on him for this year. I do think though, 83 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.680 you know, we come up with a different scenarios. Let's just have 84 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.680 a scenario. I think that the Lions will win eleven games this year. 85 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.120 They're over and under his ten and a half. I think they're going over. 86 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.639 I think that they're going to win the North. I think they're gonna 87 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.080 win a playoff game. I think that they'll get to the NFC Championship game. 88 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.159 This is how I'm thinking right now. But let's say they you know, 89 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.679 they wont a home playoff game, and then in the divisional round they 90 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.120 lost, I don't know, by a point to the Eagles or something like 91 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.840 that thirty one thirty incredible game they lose, would it mean that that the 92 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.000 Lions are a bust, that the Lions have gone back to be in the 93 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:09.919 same old Lions, not the new Lions. They wouldn't mean that. Now. 94 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.519 There are plenty of scenarios where you could say that they could fall back, 95 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.080 and there's going to be a lot of fans because they're just used to 96 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:22.159 it with their entire life. For their entire life of the team performing like 97 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.519 they have previous to last year, that they are going to have to fight 98 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:35.639 that fight the expectations of the fans. So you understand the question when it 99 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:43.039 is presented about being super Bowl at bust or super Bowl or bust Now. 100 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.120 Dan Campbell, in addition to saying that he doesn't see bust or super Bowl, 101 00:09:52.600 --> 00:10:03.399 talked about the Lions at this point. He singled out a most improved 102 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:11.279 player and it was Jamison Williams, the twelfth pick of the draft a couple 103 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.639 years ago. I want to talk about him straight ahead. How much are 104 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:24.639 you accounting on Jamison Williams? What are your expectations for Jamison Williams? When 105 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:31.960 you hear Dan Campbell saying, I mean the hype train, jump aboard Jamison 106 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:39.480 Williams most improved player for the Lions. What's that mean? We'll explore that 107 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:45.039 straight ahead. X'es and Bros. And the Michigan Sports Network.

In OTAs ready to talk about that right now here this morning, 115 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:54.039 this holiday weekend seven eighteen. Jennis Fifthien in for Matt Shepherd on Axis and 116 00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.960 Bros. And the Michigan Sports Network. I'd ask you if you share Dan 117 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:07.960 Campill's optimism about Jamison Williams, but not just asking you about just what are 118 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:18.159 your expectations for the Lions wide receiver? Dan Campbell says he's the most improved 119 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.399 player right now. What does that mean to you? I take it for 120 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:30.440 what it is. Give me your expectations for the Lions wide receiver. Eight 121 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.279 six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. That's the mayor hotline for 122 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:39.200 you to join us. Eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. 123 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.480 You could text sports Radio one word to twenty one thousand to get in 124 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.279 and get that prompt and let it fly there. We'd love to hear from 125 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:54.000 you on that situation. When it comes down to the Lions. In the 126 00:12:54.039 --> 00:13:01.639 eight o'clock hour at eight thirty five, we will talk with a Hall of 127 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:11.440 famer in the baseball writing business. Eight thirty five for that Tigers get blown 128 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.039 out. They lost five in a row. They lose nine to one to 129 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:22.399 Toronto. They're ten games back. Silver linings from yesterday is that they play 130 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.559 again today, all right. So that's where it's at for me. When 131 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.360 it comes to Jamison Williams. You know, his first year he was hurt 132 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.679 and the Alliance moved up to get him, and there are a bunch of 133 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.840 wide receivers that were picked right there. The Lions picked twelve, and there 134 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.440 were a few that were picked in front of them, Drake London for one, 135 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:52.720 a Lave for New Orleans for another one. And then was that last 136 00:13:52.840 --> 00:14:01.879 year he got the gambling suspension and it felt like you can't tell you drafted 137 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.039 it when he was hurt. So you can't say, well, your best 138 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:09.039 availability is availability. You know all that. There's the cliches that you hear, 139 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.200 but then I don't know how you look shooting yourself at the foot and 140 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.399 taking yourself off the field with the suspension. But you thought it was stupid 141 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.519 or not. It was a little stupid, a little stupid from him, 142 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.639 little stupid from the league, you know, to suspend him with everything else. 143 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:37.799 And then you would watch him and at times he would flash the ability 144 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.600 where you saw like, now we know why this guy is now we know 145 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:48.120 why this guy was picked in the first round. Now we see that this 146 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.000 guy, you know, could be a difference maker out of the field. 147 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.559 But as many times as you saw that from him, you saw plays where 148 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.200 they would throw them the ball and he would just absolutely cold drop it. 149 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:11.080 And for most of the season last year it looked more like if you had 150 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:20.279 to push all in at different times on him being a bust or him being 151 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.879 a star, you were pushing it towards being a bust. Another drop from 152 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:33.519 Williams, I mean it was it's there, it's front and center. You 153 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.919 know that. But then there are a few the game where he took the 154 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:48.039 end around and went flying into the end zone. This is why it's tantalizing 155 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:56.080 to me. Sometimes I'll just see one play from a player and it's one 156 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.240 of those that whether it makes you jump out of your seat, or your 157 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.559 just eyes open a little bit wider and you just see the talent and on 158 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:11.120 that particular run and jump into the end zone, I saw something that in 159 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.679 a league of incredible players and incredible talent and awesome athletes, I saw like 160 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.440 a one percent at the very top of all of that. That's what I 161 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.600 saw with the ability from Jamison Williams. So you want to do, obviously 162 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:33.000 everything you can to be able to get the most out of him. I 163 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.440 think at first I thought, well, would I take double the production? 164 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.799 Is that fair? Well? The production wasn't all that great last year, 165 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.360 So before you would answer that, last year he caught twenty four passes for 166 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.759 over three hundred and fifty yards and had just two scores. So would I 167 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:57.399 take forty eight catches over seven hundred yards and four tens from Jamison Williams this 168 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:04.839 year? I would like some more scores honestly with that, but knowing the 169 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:15.000 Lions roster and knowing what this team has, I would take that. And 170 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:22.480 Jamison Williams is in a great position. He's not someone that gets out there. 171 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.559 Even if he came out and you know, dropped a few passes off 172 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:30.720 the bat and I had everybody like h guy's a bust again. Dan Campbell 173 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.119 saying, you know, he's the most improved player at OTAs, and he's 174 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.119 a man on the mission, A man on a mission. You love to 175 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.440 hear that. There's no doubt about that. It's not like when somebody says, 176 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.599 hey, what do you think about Jamison Williams and Dan Campbell says, 177 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:45.759 well, he's got a lot of work to do. We're, you know, 178 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:52.119 we're happy with his progress. It's a pretty bland type statement. Dan 179 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.839 Campbell saying he is a man on a mission and that he is the most 180 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:03.559 improved player at OTAs. Yeah, when you are like me and you watched 181 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.000 the Lions last year and you watch this guy fly through the air and look 182 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:12.880 like Superman when he has the ball in his hands. He's the kind of 183 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:21.519 guy that if you are thinking about winning a Super Bowl, He's the kind 184 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:27.200 of weapon teams have where other fans around the league are watching and say, 185 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:32.799 we need a guy that's explosive like that. This guy's a difference maker. 186 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.039 He has got that in him, and he is in the perfect situation. 187 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:45.079 He's got a quarterback that can deliver the ball. He has an offensive line 188 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.759 with a complimentary running game, and then when you go through the weapons on 189 00:18:51.960 --> 00:19:00.519 offense at receiver, Amanas Brown is a wide receiver one he is one of 190 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.960 the better widest. Why it's got rewarded with the gigantic contract, he is 191 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:12.160 one of the better wide receivers in the NFL. Sam Laporta is the best 192 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:19.200 tight end. I have to apologize to Travis Kelson. I'm not apologed. 193 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:26.000 Sam Laporta is one of the best tight ends and he's only in his second 194 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:33.599 year. One of the best wide outs on the other side, with Saint 195 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:41.440 Brown, the best or one of the best tight ends, if not the 196 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:52.000 best, one of the best is being conservative offensive lines. Same thing with 197 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.640 their their their running backs. No, I don't think David Montgomery's the best 198 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:03.839 running back in the NFL. I think that's Christian McCaffrey. But do I 199 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.359 think that the combination of Jamiir Gibbs and David Montgomery is one of the best 200 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:18.240 backfields in the NFL. Absolutely, This could be the best offense in the 201 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.839 NFL. What would have to happen, Well, you know, Golf could 202 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:26.160 deliver the ball he gets the time, you've got the tandem at running backs, 203 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.960 you just talked about Saint Brown and Laporta. These guys are proof of 204 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:34.559 this is not a huge stretch an offensive line who actually didn't really stay healthy 205 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.559 last year and was still effective. But you've seen the kind of talent they 206 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:45.680 have there. Williams is the piece that could take this to the next level. 207 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:51.359 And the next level is being the best and most explosive offense in the 208 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:59.000 NFL. Now that's where I'm sitting. How about you slamming down a little 209 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:07.720 bit too much Honolulu bluekool Aid today?

We're just getting 231 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.440 started here. I'm Dennis Fifthian in for Matt Shepherd. A couple of things 232 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.240 I want to remind you about coming up. In ten minutes we continue the 233 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:42.000 Lions conversation, but I'm going to talk about going all in on a trade 234 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:52.039 and how you would feel about it. T Higgins an all in situation for 235 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.279 the Lions. In ten minutes it leaves to explore that, and an hour 236 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:04.680 from right now we will talk to Tom Gage, the long time almost forty 237 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:10.839 year Tigers beat writer. We will get to that in an hour from right 238 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:15.640 now. Right now, we are discussing the Lions, and there's nothing If 239 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.160 you are a Lions fan this morning and waking up and did not hear Dan 240 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:26.000 Campbell yesterday, there's nothing that is going to light the fuse on off season 241 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:32.559 expectations, excitement just take off to the moon that Dan Campbell coming out and 242 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:38.119 saying Jamison Williams as a man on a mission, Jamison Williams has been our 243 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:44.880 best player in OTAs. That's what Dan Campbell and his grit had on had 244 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.519 to say in front of the media yesterday to all of you Lions fans. 245 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:56.240 So I'm asking you how much you're counting on Jamison Williams and your expectations I 246 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:03.880 just say quickly before we go to the texts and the phones, that is 247 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:12.119 so tantalizing to think about if you would be able to get the difference maker 248 00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:18.319 playmaker. He is the part. He is the piece that could take the 249 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.200 Lions. I mean, we are looking at it. We have talked about 250 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.599 for our life. How do you get to the top and how do you 251 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:33.400 win? You win with a great line, play, quarterback all over the 252 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:40.039 field, but you win with difference makers and big time playmakers and Williams, 253 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.720 although at times he's looked more like a bus than he has all of the 254 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:52.119 things that I'm talking about, he possesses that it where he's just a stick 255 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:57.400 of dynamite on the field ready to explode and be a difference maker for a 256 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.559 team like the Detroit Lions who he's playing for. So that's it. Eight 257 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.960 six six eight three eight forty eight forty three on the Myer Hotline. That's 258 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:10.039 how I think about it. We'll get through those texts Sports Radio one word 259 00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:14.720 to twenty one thousand. We go to Mark and gun Lake, who joined 260 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.519 us on x'es and bros. Hey, good morning how you doing today? 261 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:26.319 Oh doing great? Thanks for calling in. Mark. I think coach Campbell 262 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:32.079 is hitting around at using Jamison in some kick returns because if he's going to 263 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:36.160 keep going for it on fourth down, I think he can get better field 264 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.400 position if we got a punt returner or a kick returner to get that thing 265 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:44.480 to midfield or maybe a little short of midfield, but if you can average 266 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:49.480 well, when he scored that touchdown and in the playoffs, unfortunately we lost 267 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:56.200 that game, but yeah, yeah, when he got through that line, 268 00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:00.960 he broke a couple of tackles getting through there and up this balance, I'm 269 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.079 thinking, man, this guy could probably return. So do you remember Mel 270 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.079 Gray from the Lions back in the day. Yeah, I loved well Gray. 271 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:12.240 Yeah, we all loved Bell Gray. So yeah, I think he 272 00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:18.200 I think he looks a lot like him with that acceleration and that speed and 273 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.920 how he can return that ball. But let me ask you one more thing 274 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.759 and then I'll bounce off the line here. I've been watching some of the 275 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.559 NBA playoffs and you talked earlier today about the Pistons, and I'm getting up 276 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.839 maybe a different person in there to help the team win or win a few 277 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.880 games. Anyways, these teams, these final four teams, these guys are 278 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:47.319 gym rats. I mean, you can tell this is brutal basketball. These 279 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:51.000 guys are killing each other. They're running all over the place. They look 280 00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:55.119 totally different than the Pistons, and I think the Pistons got to spend a 281 00:27:55.160 --> 00:28:00.200 lot more time in the gym instead of figuring out why they're losing game is 282 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.400 because these teams are running. I mean Indiana and Boston, that's all they 283 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.960 seen. These guys do as that was run, they played defense, if 284 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.319 someone was covered, they passed the ball. They share the ball a lot. 285 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:12.559 So I want to hear your thoughts on that, if you got a 286 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:18.799 minute about talking about the Pistons just getting into that gym and and focusing on 287 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.799 on being gym rats. I mean, they got to start. They got 288 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.279 to start winning some games for people to go back down there. So I 289 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.400 think you're doing a great job filling in for Chef. Thanks for taking my 290 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:33.079 call. Now I'll listen off air here. Well, thanks Mark for calling. 291 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:36.160 And yeah, I mean there's a stark contrast when you were watching these 292 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:41.759 playoffs and then you watch the Pistons during the year and the things. There's 293 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.880 a lot of different things that jump out to me. One is that when 294 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:52.200 you're you see a team like the Celtics, a starting five that there's just 295 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:57.200 there's no everybody can do everything. And El Horford, who's actually uh, 296 00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:03.200 you know, backing up Porzingis while he heals up, could come back this 297 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.759 series. He can dial it in from downtown. Of course, they've got 298 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:17.720 the one two combination of Brown and Tatum, but Drew Holliday is totally underrated. 299 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.240 Derek White. I mean, they're coming at you from all five spots, 300 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.400 and all five players can do everything that you want. When you look 301 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:32.200 at the Pistons lineup, they don't have that Cuttingham can do it at all. 302 00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:36.279 Who else not many? They got other guys that need to work on 303 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:40.200 they're all around games. To your point about getting into the gym, can 304 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:45.839 they develop? I think that Thompson, the rookie from last year, you 305 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:52.160 know, he needs to develop clearly his offensive game, his outside shot, 306 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:53.880 him being able to put it on the floor, take it. Ivy needs 307 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:59.519 to work on his outside game. Isaiah Stewart has, but you know there's 308 00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.960 a sea with him. I also think there's a ceiling with Duran. But 309 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.200 you can have like one guy like let's say it was a Sark Thompson. 310 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.720 They'd say, Okay, this is a project, but you can't have three 311 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:17.559 guys four guys and you're starting lineup that have holes in their game like the 312 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:22.960 Pistons do, or you're gonna end up seeing everybody in the standings. And 313 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.319 that's where the Pistons are at. They look up and they see everyone, 314 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:27.839 and I know it's easy to say, well, yeah, Boston, they 315 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.839 have the best record in the league. They're gonna win the NBA Finals. 316 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:36.359 How about the Pacers. Pacers seem like the same way. I don't know. 317 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:41.039 They you know, they got spicy p Siakam, who's awesome, who's 318 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.119 going to be a free agent. Obviously Haliburton, which which burns me and 319 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:49.799 should burn everyone as a Piston fan. Because it was only the twenty twenty 320 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.400 NBA Draft, we only have to look back to then to feel like, 321 00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:57.960 oh, yeah, Anthony Edwards was taken number one by Minnesota James Wiseman, 322 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.440 who is on this Piston team, but as a bust sitting there. But 323 00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:07.480 the Pistons took Killian Hayes at seven, and they were going after a point 324 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:10.720 guard. It was pretty clear that's what they needed for their team. At 325 00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:15.119 the time, the next point guard off the board was ty Reese Halliburton, 326 00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:25.960 killer for the Pistons. Oh yeah, Aaron Netsmith who is starting for the 327 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:30.480 Pacers. He was also taking a few picks after Halliburton. And you look 328 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.680 at the way he's been playing. It played great last night or nemhard. 329 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.319 I mean there these are not players that are out there that are household names 330 00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:45.839 that fit in though. That's the thing with the Pistons, just you you 331 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:52.920 could have five moves like this, but just recently Halliburton over Killian Hayes, 332 00:31:55.599 --> 00:32:02.839 Donovan Mitchell going one pick after the Pistons, take Luke Canard, one little 333 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:13.319 thing and this course of this uh franchise is going to be different. Instead, 334 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:17.119 you know, they got enamored with the process and the multiple year tanks, 335 00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:23.519 which the next guy that comes into an NBA franchise and says, my 336 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:29.240 game plan is a multiple year tank. Not the owner. I was saying, 337 00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:36.759 you know, well, what do we do you do for thanks multiple 338 00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:46.720 year tank? The idea of the Detroit Pistons and they're Troy Weaver. Yeah, 339 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:51.359 let's how about some texts. We get some time to squeeze some text 340 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:54.039 here. Let's go to b z, it's ben zos. What are we 341 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:58.279 looking at? This one is back to if it's Super Bowl or bus for 342 00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:02.759 the Lions, trash Man says bust. He says Green Bay Packers are coming 343 00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:08.279 into Detroit round one of the playoffs and knocking us out and Thanksgiving too. 344 00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.480 Well, let's let's take that text right out to the trash No. You 345 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:21.000 know, the Packers are there, and the Packers get their quarterback. And 346 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.200 I was looking so closely at the Packers yesterday and all of their moves. 347 00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:32.519 Yeah, they they cut David Baktiari, their longtime tackle, and also moved 348 00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:37.200 on from Aaron Jones. They're outstanding running back. But their replacements for those 349 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:43.079 guys Josh Jacobs, and then they go to the draft and get Jordan Morgan. 350 00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:49.240 Yeah, the Packers aren't going anywhere the Lions and Packers is you know 351 00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.359 you're talking about them coming in and knocking them out of the playoffs and all 352 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.759 those things. I see a split between the Lions and Packers this year. 353 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:02.079 That is the most format team in the North that the Lions are gonna have 354 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:07.559 to deal with. But right now, the Lions, trash Man, they 355 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:13.320 have more talent, they have a better team than the Green Bay Packers. 356 00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:16.400 You say, yeah, but the Lions defense really sucked last year, you 357 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:23.960 know they they the pass a defense. Total defense was nineteenth. It's not 358 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:28.719 like the Packers were sitting there as a top ten defense. The Packers were 359 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:34.119 at sixteen pound for pound player for player from the Lions and Packers, I 360 00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.800 just complimented them. But the Lions have more talent and are the better team. 361 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:43.199 What else are we looking at? Ben? Yeah, it says a 362 00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:46.519 bust indicates that you have one shot at this. Detroit has a foundation and 363 00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:50.840 they have a window of time to hopefully have a couple cracks at the super 364 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:54.159 Bowl. Just like Michigan was in the playoffs three times, it may take 365 00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:58.920 a few shots for Detroit as well. So it's not a bust, it's 366 00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.960 windows open and next. I take expectations are the super Bowl. I think 367 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:08.559 that's what Dan meant. Dan very well thought through and excellent text texts. 368 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:13.960 More often, those are the kind that that that nail it right on the 369 00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:16.639 head. That's the thing college, you know, it could feel like a 370 00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:22.320 bus because you only have that that window with that team that year. That's 371 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.360 the thing with the Lions that gives you so much hope last year when you 372 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:28.599 look at it, you know, nobody would say, you know, we're 373 00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:32.039 not looking at it and say that was just a fluke. No, that 374 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:37.800 doesn't It didn't seem like it was a fluke at all. They won twelve 375 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.679 games, They should have won more. They should have gone into the Super 376 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.639 Bowl. I know, the second half and everything else, but we've gone 377 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.320 through the position groups, I mean, the offense and then if you can 378 00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:55.039 add in the shooting star of Jamison Williams, you are really talking about something 379 00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:58.599 lethal on one side of the ball, and they do have that window. 380 00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:01.760 See how far that defense could take him on that. I love the text. 381 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:07.679 Great, great job Dan. Are we going for more? Yeah? 382 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.039 We can do one. Do a couple more, one more, a couple 383 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:14.840 more. Yeah, it says as we know in the NFL, nothing is 384 00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:20.079 a given. You have to earn every year and the Lions are no different. 385 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:22.159 I am fired up and ready for the challenge. Let's go Lions. 386 00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:29.360 That's from Jyd and Kalamazoo. Well, j Yd, I'm right with you 387 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:35.199 there, and we have a long time to burn between now and the start 388 00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:38.840 of the season. But that's it. This is off season and this is 389 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:43.400 so much. Why I like, you know, now being as present as 390 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:47.679 I possibly can heading into this Memorial Weekend. All of the years prior in 391 00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:55.039 the it it's just felt like off season false hope, like why not us 392 00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:00.280 that kind of stuff. But now it's real. But you can look got 393 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:05.800 you see it. You go through the roster, you look at the talent. 394 00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:07.960 You you know how this thing fits in. Obviously they have to go 395 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:15.159 out there like jyd to get the the job done. But yeah, they 396 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:21.480 keep hammering that, no doubt what more and then we will uh get you 397 00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:27.280 ready straight ahead for the possibility of adding a big piece with this team. 398 00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:29.920 What's what's the last one we're gonna squeeze in here? Yeah, this is 399 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.599 a question from Freddie. It says Dennis, if Dan Campbell was the manager 400 00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:38.039 of the Detroit Tigers, would they be in first place right now? This 401 00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:45.000 team plays like AJ talks like pain drying. Well, I'm gonna disagree with 402 00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:49.840 you on AJ. Hintch you no, like do you want I think if 403 00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:54.159 Dan Campbell was down on the dugout, I like not like other folks. 404 00:37:54.719 --> 00:38:00.320 I don't mind once in a while a manager taking a bat rack and and 405 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.159 you know, throwing it out on the field, or taking the cooler, 406 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.840 or or spilling over the food spread in the locker room. I like that 407 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.760 kind of thing once in a while. You can't just be crazy and do 408 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:17.119 all of that. But I think that a J. Hinch is the least 409 00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:23.559 of the problems. The problems you look at the players that they have acquired, 410 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:30.119 especially the ones that they have acquired with the first overall pick on the 411 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:36.400 draft. You're expecting these guys like of Paul Skeens, who's going to be 412 00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.960 pitching for He pitched last night, He's going to be pitching Wednesday afternoon at 413 00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:44.880 America Park. He was taking out one one. So is Casey Mice Skeens. 414 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:46.920 Right now as being talked about, oh, you had seen a guy 415 00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:52.119 like this since Strasburg, who was also taken as the first pick overall. 416 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:58.800 Strasburg won a World Series. You're hoping that you get a Strasburg or Skeens 417 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:05.280 when you take a number one like that, or Torque who was also taken 418 00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:10.280 at one one. You're thinking about I don't know, Bryce Harper who was 419 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:16.000 taken at that spot. These are the reasons that the Tigers are where they're 420 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:24.719 at, and also their owner, who is just tiptoeing and is very much 421 00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:34.800 the opposite of his dad, who was consumed with the challenge of getting the 422 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:43.079 Tigers to the postseason and trying to win a World Series. Chris Ilich comes 423 00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:47.719 off as somebody who is the exact opposite of that. It happens, it 424 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:58.039 happens, but it seems like he is much more concerned with the bottom line 425 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:02.159 and how much money that they're and every other you know, position that he 426 00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:09.199 has. Uh. And it's not about being consumed at all about the Tigers 427 00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:15.280 with a winner. But Hinch is the least of the tigers problems. He's 428 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:17.239 actually something they have that is going for him. If I was putting together 429 00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:23.800 a ledger, all right, we uh will continue on coming up at eight 430 00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:34.239 oh one. I was getting into if the Lion's been making the case for 431 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:40.920 them going all in on a big time trade, and we will get to 432 00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:45.159 that at eight oh one. The name T. Higgins doesn't get any bigger 433 00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:52.280 than that. Now we're talking about an outstanding wide receiver and Jamison Williams an 434 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:59.519 absolute star, and Higgins he wants out. Would that be an all in 435 00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:06.639 more? Could you even think about that as a Lions fan? That will 436 00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:08.880 lead us off. We'll get to some baseball coming up. At eight thirty 437 00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:15.360 five, Tom Gage will join us. We'll ask him if aj Hinch is 438 00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:24.440 a problem, as Freddie suggests via the text. All right, so it 439 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:30.880 is Memorial weekend. We've got an hour to go. We are going to 440 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:39.519 bring it and we'll continue hitting on these on these lions. And we've got 441 00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:45.800 that Tiger's talk as well. I'm Dennis Fifthyan ben Zost is here as well, 442 00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:52.639 fielding your calls, reading your texts.
