me you love me. You can't keep it. Really, if you really
don't trust me, you come with a real you get up in the front
so you get my meals. I'm conning for the money, money in the
bank, coming with a dank screlia, tanking with the game. You sitting
on the sideline the triple. I go to the whole with a rock light
pippot. Yes, I'm okay, what up do? Welcome to the Riverways
living with sports dot Com. I'm easy, Spin, more Racks, Chris,
Jamie Smooth. If you haven't ready, please make sure to hit that
light button. It means the world to us and you can listen to us

This is the Friday leading again to four Fields, first wild Card week,
Super Wildcard weekend to call in it now, and we just had NFL live
on the TV. In here. Yeah, Meana comes, Ryan Clark,
Marcus Spears, Dan Orlowski, Laura Rutledge. All five of them took the
rams clean sweet, All five of them took the Rams to be you know
what that means, fucking dubs coming. Ain't never seen clean sweeping to go
that way. I'm just saying, right, that's how it goes. I
started breaking out towards say like, do we all just do that? Do
you also? Because I know they're fucked up in that point. Yeah,
Look, it's gonna be a good game. It's gonna be close games.
I think the Rams have enough of a recipe to scare everybody in the playoffs,
like they should. You have a play making quarterback, they can make
every every type of throw off of every type of platform. You have a
new found running game. Karen Williams and the boys poking the cool and a
cup. I don't know what to make of that. I mean, obviously
those are still good receivers, but I don't know if they're like elite guys.
We know, you know how Matthew Stafford is. We see to make
you know non household names, household names and fantasy realms and whatnot. And
then you have Aaron downing this out of it. They have a recipets are
scare anybody but everybody about us, everybody about Detroit. Detroit's Detroit's bend in
the mud. Let we crawled out the mud to hosting a home playoff game.
Scared yeah, and Dan O Mina coines, you fake Lions fans,
No, man, don't do that, fake gass Lions fans. Don't do
it to them all season talking about well this is the team all look at
him putting them in the top of my power rankings. Lions are legit,
Lions are crazy. They're gonna they're gonna do some noise. They're gonna make
some noise. And then when it comes to the first playoff game, you're
picking the Rams. I remember that. It's on a trick tricks list.
Now, I remember that, no fly, I mean Daniel was signing with
his butt buddy Matthew. He did you know who didn't sign his butt buddy
Matthew? Big CJ. Calvin Johnson, Big play CJ. You got that
video Chris is Calvin Johnson on the up and Adams Show. I believe it's
called on a FanDuel shout out oh yeah week And I told him, I
was like, what are the chances of you coming back to Detroit to playing
the playoff game? And lo and behold, he's gonna be here. He's
gonna be there. Now, where do you sit? Are you going to
Oh, hecky, I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna go down. I'm
gonna try to see him on the sideline before the game. Then I'll be
up top in some sweet somewhere. Oh. You gotta like, you gotta
get in his head though we can't. We can't. We're not. Are
we rooting for Matthew Stafford? Are we rooting for Matthew Stafford? No,
we're not. I love Matthew. But when he comes to Detroit all best
of all, you know, he's coming into the den, but the boys
about to get out from Yeah, I feel like that would be really really
good. Yeah, Calvin, Hey, I love to hear that. This
is called the dead by the way too, it's a dead full line.
You're coming into the defend the den. Baby boy's gonna be at them.
Hey, And there's your blessing for Calvin Johnson, by the way. For
the people who are on the fence, I feel like, all right,
love, I've seen a few of them out there in twitter Land or excellent,
whatever you wanna call it, But like I feel like these people there's
this group of people who are, like I guess, feeling to let go
of the Matthew Stafford era. I think that there's there's very few. I
think it's almost like a mythical group. I've seen like one or two.
There's a couple of them, more a couple of little clubs out there,
scared Scared are any active in our chat right now? If you go on
Facebook, A lot of the Facebook's like old weird. A lot of those
fifty plus cousins on Facebook it's Matthew. Yeah, they're big Stafford people.
That's fair, but you have to bless some become Johnson and rude against the
guy and and you should be doing that in the first place. You should
be. There's a cousin to Stafford's better than Kelvin when it comes to lions.
Lord ah No, it's a reoccurring cousin that always comments under my ship.
Yeah, recurring cousins. Like I do, we encount recurring cousins because
like, you know what the expectation is. It's like when supremacy aps in
chat, it's like, we know what this guy's here, just the trouble.
You'd love to be up in Adams. He loves he'd love to be
up in Adams. I feel that that's a bar as a bar. I
can't, Chris. You make a poll, okay, pull for the like
button? You want me to do it? You said, yeah, I
can't. For some reason, It's like listen, huh, how shut up,
Chris. We got a lot to talk about today. We got a
lot to talk about though today. First things first, Penney School is the
best offensive lineman in the NFL per PFF, per PFF, and per AP.
He is first team All Pro. We're gonna get into more of that
later. Lion's got a lot of All pros litter throughout their team, but
Penney School first team All Pro. And I looked up the stats I was
doing. He's got ninety three point one run block grade, which is the
highest out of any offensive lineman since two thousand and nine other than Trent Williams
last year. So he's second all times since two thousand and nine in pass
blocker and run blocking. And this year he had six hundred and forty four
pass blocking snaps only allot a single sec. Penney School the best offensive lineman
in the NFL. He's gonna get paid like the best offensive lineman in the
NFL. Hey, and he deserves it. He does. And I mean,
honest with you, I was not surprising like they like that he deserved
it, but like surprised, I guess like I'm just used to the Detroit
Lions getting shaded in all these efforts they give you going to come to the
I'm a Ross Saint Brown Pro Bowl. That situation came down to, like
the players and coaches not voting him men at that point, and it just
made zero sense, to be honest, him being in the as an All
Pro. If you guys just breaking news anybody today, sewell and I'm Ross
Saint Brown first team All Pro, first team All pros. That that is
amazing. I've had that in my life since I honestly, I think that
is the last Detroit line to be a first team All Pro and if at
least for sure in my lifetime. I mean, it's it's amazing. We'll
get into that one, but congratulations with those guys on top of that.
Guys just gotta say, that's a whole segment. That's a whole segment.
You put Rogers on Tosh point zero. Yeah, what did you listen to
it? No? I didn't. But pro move Man pro moved by Daniel
Tosh. Oh yeah, as soon as he gets kicked off the the McAfee
podcast. Yeah, he said, all right, a ros come over here
emergency podcast. Tsh, I haven't listened to an emergency podcast. I was
like, oh ship, yeah, wow, I haven't listened to Tasha's pot.
But it's probably good. I mean, he's a funny guy, so
I started, well, it's weird, man. I feel like some people
like are made for podcasting and some people are made for other things like perfect
example, the best podcast or like the podfather, you'd say is Joe Rogan.
But like he recognizes himself as a comedian, his stand up isn't good.
Not a good comedy, phenomenal podcaster. Now Daniel Tosh, I think
he's a good comedian. But when I listened to it, wasn't that wasn't
that great. But maybe he just started. Maybe I just look at first
episode he had his wife's god of colleges on just like that is pretty well.
Yeah, maybe I turned off because getting unomfortable. What I couldn't could
you talk to like your wife's god of collegist? No? I couldn't either.
This guy literally knows your wife's part better than you do. I don't
know if i'd be comfortable with that. Is that? I mean i'd be
comfortable with it. I don't care. Well, she's got a just gonna
have one regardless. I don't know if I want to have those conversations with
the man. Yeah, it's pretty funny. No, it's definitely funny.
I just you said no already, what do you what are you doing?
I don't know. I thought about it for a second, Chris. I
mean, I'm just wondering what kind of questions does he asking? Is he
asking? I'm like, is he asking him? Like? Yo? So
like where's the stack up? Like you're a professional here, that's a good
question, like that would be my question. That is actually a great question.
She's looking out there. What are we talking about here? Grade at
scale one to ten? One bite? Everybody knows the rules. Do you
think he has you sniff your fingers? Like you think like he could like
give you like left a little bit more for sure? But then all right,
so okay, so okay that's like a pleasure thing, right, Yeah,
how do you know my wife likes the left side? He knows what
you saying? Just leave some more questions. He knows the box man her
box, but all boxes are different. It's fair. Some boxes can take
objects. I just can't shout out. Gun guys, take your pants off.
Take your pants off, because you could. You have a conversation with
your wife's kind. You have conversations a two hour podcast. Probably not a
two hour podcast, I think we have. We just lose interest in talking
about other ship, like besides her box. So it's just what I don't
know. It might help. Hey, you know, Spencer said, you
know, maybe to the rite a little bit more, you know, go
easy on the box a couple of nights, you know what, hard in
the paint. Yeah. He's like, hey, bro, you're doing your
thing and a big dog. I never seen that ship destroyed like that.
We have had sex months. He's like, hey, bro, surgery.
I ain't even gonna lie by the way, real quick. Shouts to Scottie
from Questionable Tease shout out, dropped off your boy a little gift with the
villain hoodie. Is it's fresh? No, those boys are crispy. Questionable
tease shout out Questionable shout question ts dropping out the villain hoodie. Yeah,
I don't know, man, I don't know if I had that conversation.
I mean, I just, I guess would avoid certain certain areas of it
just to keep myself comfortable. Oh, all right, enough that we don't
know. If I don't want to talk about that, let's talk about someone.
All right, how about this dot right here? The empty one is
important, It's an important one. It's important, but a rookie class.
Today's schedule pretty much what we got in the sheet. First foremost from starting
off with the All pros coming back from break. After then, I think
we talked about Matthew Stafford enough. We talk about pooking the cool enough.
I think one piece set. None of us are talking about Karen Williams for
some reason, and I may be wrong, but like his impact this game
is kind of fly unneath the radar, some kind of curious. He's second
team All Pro, second team at Paulker. I actually did'tve get to see
the entire team Williams second Team All Pro. He missed. He missed like
five games and was second in in yards. Like he's He's impressive, man,
He's an impressive back. He's a great runner, and they're talking about
it that he sees softer boxes. Daniel toshs wits kind of colleges. He
sees softer boxes than any running back in the NFL because of the threat of
a Pook and a Cooper. But still, you got to go out there
and go out there and make your money. And he's been doing it for
sure. Man, I'll aproach some haters. Whys' Jared Goff the quarterback?
I mean, do you think do you think though? The overlooking Kyrien Williams
comes from the fact that we've seen the Lions get torched by good receivers the
last couple of weeks, and that is obviously another huge strength of the Chris
We got a whole segment We're just injured. God, dude, I'm just
asking the question. Yeah, a question when we're doing the topic, He's
ship That's the whole top read the prep also a little bit back and forth
day on UH Sean mcva vers. Yeah, Dan Campbell, I want to
discuss that as well as who's got the better quarterback, running backs, receivers,
Sam Laporta and the team injury updates, who's got the better rookie class
and because I have add a wildcat pick them, Wildcat pick them it is
supposed to be a wildcard lout for some reason, my breath gone. So
without further ado is jump the show by going to our first break. And
that's Big Boy winter time and Detroit is always better with comfort Foods from Big

Tosh point zero and the mass Share smash that light Bundon so we had on
fifty lights and give his pick for the game. But before we get to
that, Brad Holmes, motherfucker done. His very first draft class has ushered
in two all pro, two of them firstro I'm sorry, he's got some
respect, he's got more net because he didn't even draft Janu Reeves Maven,
but his special teams all profatly. We all saw that. Common even want
to put the graphic up for this one, Chris four all pros together,
the Detroit Lions, and amongst them three of them. I'm sorry, five
five five five. I'm thinking like like offense, defense, draft, Bradham's
draft pick, Bradholme's draft pick, Bradham's draft pick, and then Jane Reeves
Maven and then Frank Ragnow, I mean he already know what was but his
first draft class, I just went to the first team. I gots to
start office. But what was your reaction to that? It's poetic justice felt
great. Those Pro Bowl voters couldn't stop nose bleed. It's it's what it
should be. I'm not saying Brown was one of the best receivers in the
NFL this year. He was recognized as such. Pennysiel was the best offensive
lineman in the NFL this year. He was recognized as such. Sam Laport
at one of the best tight ends in the NFL this year, recognized as
such, Frank Ragnow got snubbed. He should have been first team. Sorry,
Jason. I don't know if they're giving it to you because the tush
push, but Frank greg Now is better than you this year. I love
seeing it. I love seeing them get the credit they deserve. I love
seeing Big Penny up there and just you could just keep that spot checked for
the next five to ten years because he's not going anywhere. You can keep
that first team All Pro tackle positions as Penny because he's not going anywhere anytime
soon. I'm in Ross Saint Brown. I am extremely happy he got that
disrespected, disrespected by the players and the coaches not voting him into the Pro
Bowl. Guess what hold your Pro Bowl? Give me first team All Pro.
Yep. Love seeing that. Yep. That's that's the part I love
to see is I'm in Rossaint Brown getting direspected because the Pro Bowl note was
obviously disrespectful. I didn't see that come up, and he was gonna make
the Pro Bowl for damn Shore. I thought I was the All Pro we
he was gonna get jipped that, but no, uh ap got it right.
I'm not deserve to be in the first team All Pro and it's fantastic.
I think we had the tweet up earlier, but I know he's second
in YEAC according to NFL dot Com, p F has them number one.
I don't know why they always got they feel they need to be different.
I don't know what it is and what the difference is with that one.
But regardless, third in receptions, third in yards, and third in touchdowns.
If I'm not mistaken, top three, top three, top three,
there's a top three wide receiving in the league. On top of that too,
the yak. The yak alone is like evidence in the value that like
no matter who's your quarterback, like when you're getting that guy the ball,
he's gonna continue to make a play. Then afterward I think we noticed that,
like shades of that, even from going back to his rookie year,
see him come out of the backfield, which he's still doing. He's not
actually getting carries, but I'm in Robs Saint Brown, once upon a time
used to actually take carries before his value is realized elsewhere at receiving the football
the way you do want to talk about like Kyrin Williams running the soft zones.
I'm round Saint Brown is the best at finding the soft zones and finding
up the spots to receive the ball. I think it's phenomenal and the way
I perceived this whole situation because again I think we already knew these guys are
ballers, We knew these guys were good. Yeah, of it. I'm
looking like long term here, how about you know Ben Johnson goes on to
become a head coach elsewhere deservingly so phenomenal coach. There's a void for us.
And if you're you're a I guess looking to become a great head coach
or you're looking to make a name for yourself, why wouldn't you not want
to work with a guy like Brad Holmes? Yes, if you see him
cashing in all pro draft classes time and time again, and this is his
first draft class, he has too all pros and that thing like, why
wouldn't you want to go work with Brad Holmes to continue to give you the
degree and to create like the best recipe to like polish your your resume.
So then you go on and become a head coach on top of the fact
of working with a guy like Dan Campbell, who's not just a great leader,
but it seems like a pretty freaking fun dude to be around. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying, Like, I just that's what got me
up for it. I knew these guys are good. They're all pros in
my book, no matter what matter of fact. I think I point to
a few more guys who have been All Pro or second team All Pro on
this team. But I look at long term, I think the Detroit Lions
are truly building something special here where it's it's it could be sustainable. I
am one of those guys that are fearful of Ben Johnson leaving. But when
you look at these guys constantly having a great roster, or at least like
a guy that can consistently give you great pieces to have a good team to
build around, everybody's going on to go. It makes it a lot easier
when you're getting fresh ingredients every year. Yes, when you're getting new pieces,
the best pieces available in the draft to you. It makes things a
lot easier for the offensive coordinator, for the head coach. When you have
this influx of great talent every single year in the draft and it keeps getting
better. Every year Brad Holmes has made these picks, they keep getting better
and we're like, all right, this has to be the greatest draft of
all time. And you look back and you see what he did this yere.
Brian Branch was pretty damn good. Sam the Porter already an All Pro
in year one. Jamior Gibbs borderline Pro bowler in year one, Brian Branch
should have gotten some kind of talk for Defensive Rookie of the Year in year
one. Jack Campbell looks like he is going to be a stud. We
saw him coming on late. Like this guy, Brad Holmes just keeps out
doing himself. And if he is not awarded as Executive of the Year,
we Ride, we Ride, he won Give it to him. Just give
it to him. Now. This man is a freak of nature. He
keeps giving the Lions the depth, the talent and the playmakers to continue having
success and to establish this team as a contender as a Super Bowl contender for
years and years and years to come. Because he just reloaded. Baby.
It's like Alabama during their dynasty. You lose seven guys to the NFL.
It's all right, You're reloading next year and guess what, you're number one
when the season poll comes around. Brad Holmes reloads in the draft every year
with Pro Bowl, all pro level talent, wasn't I'm proud of too,
just like a side up back to like the all pro part of it with
the Amoran Saint Brown guy drafted fourth round if not mistaken. I've listened to
his podcast this week with both he'd eq his brother and they had DJ Moron,
who's a first round pick, and I believe he's obviously the same.
I know he's getting paid pretty healthily, but like just to hear I'm on
ross because by the way, if you guys remember I don't know if he
got he uh what's the word I'm looking for, peeled it and that went
through, but he got fined like an entire game check at one point this
year for like quite literally one of the most egregious Like yeah, I don't
know what that was discussing. Somebody was definitely targeting him in the NFL front
office for that find to be that much for what that was. But he's
got a big contract coming on and in that podcast with DJ Moore or Dennison,
if you guys are ever sitting out sideline and want to know him.
He doesn't like being called by his actual government, Dennison. More is that
you say, hey, get your get your money, man. This is
upcoming season. You're going to like your last year. Get your bread.
I got some news for you, guys, and I'm talking. And by
the way, I'm a guy who you guys know, I think more than
anybody. I know a lot of people like to you know, parade around
here as a salary cap guy. I'm the salary cap guy. I'm the
motherfucker that that crossed the line. Look, I don't care how good that
motherfucker is. He ain't worked all that. I'm Ron S. Brown worth
every penny, yes, worth every penny. Beyond what he does for you
on the field again, just this is a yeah yards alone. That means
no matter where he's getting the ball in the field, whether you're running a
deep or not, he's gonna make the play. Then afterwards to do some
things for you. Go back to the Dallas Cowboys game. That the game
we would have been the game winning touchdown. That was a play he made
to get to the pielone he and beyond that, he's a great blocker.
He's got phenomenal attitude that I believe is truly infectious. I mean, like,
if you're the leader in the receiving room going to Jameson Williams, you
want to go get the ball, what's Amonad doing bust on the drugs machine,
on the drugs machine, making sure he's blocking during run plays like he
is. He is a leader that you need in that locker room. And
beyond the production on the field, Amorad is getting paid and brother, you
deserve it. Congratulations on your first first All Pro team. These two guys,
these two guys, to these guys are all bros. These two seeing
a lot of football. No, but honestly, these two players, I'm
Brown Penn two first team All pros, two players in Brad holmes first draft
class. The two guys on this team that epitomized grit and what Dan Campbell,
Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions want to be more than anybody else.
Penney Sool and Amaras Saint Brown. Yeah, they'll chirp a little bit to
you, they'll talk shit, they'll get in your face, but they'll also
whoop your ass every single play, like Marshawn Lynch says, motherfucker can't keep
taking it when you run in his face over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over. And that's what they do. It's not just talk, it's the
work they put in, the work outside and inside those lines. It's extremely
impressive to watch them how they've grown since they got into the NFL. They
came off the jump. Penney Sool put Nick both in a bread box.
Yeah, his first start in the NFL, second start in the NFL in
the face of Aaron Donald, get the fuck out of here. Child's play.
And then Amara Saint Brown when he first gets in the lineup, actually
starts getting usage. Man's tearing up the league ninety receptions, I think nine
hundred something yards in his first game or in his first year without playing the
first five games of the season. Extremely impressive. These guys have hit the
ground running and they're only getting better. Neither of them are in their primes
yet. Penney Schuel is twenty three years old. He is not in his
physical or play prime yet. Yeah, as an offensive lineman, your prime
is like twenty six to twenty nine, twenty six to thirty and he's already
a first team All Pro shitz. Even beyond that, the lineman, you
go, well, how's Jason Kelsey. Yeah, I don't think that thing
to clients to get to like thirty five, thirty four. Maybe, like
I said, keep that first team All Pro spot checked off. Penny Steel
is gonna be there for a long time. You feel the same way about
the same round. It's different with receivers, Yeah, some guys just go
off because like Justin Jefferson was out for its fair a lot this year.
He had one thousand yards in ten games. Yeah, so it's different receiving.
He has the ability to make it positionally though, dude, like you
know what I'm saying, Like the outside slot guys, like the top three
guys, Yeah, it's fair. I guess just Jephson was out this year.
But I mean am and Rod is definitely gonna have the ability to get
there every single year. But Penney schul he is going is if he doesn't
get injured, he will be a first team All Pro every year for the
next five to ten years. Yeah. I was thinking about the other day
too, Don Ross Saint Brown, and I think like one thing you almost
like grow like I guess ungrateful for It's like it's hard to think of the
amount of drops Dolmond Ross Saint Brown has had his career and I'm knocking out
of wood that too. He's but he's a sure hand count on one hand.
I really can only think of one like this year. Yeah, like
even like there's a point I think I think this is catch. Last year
he caught it between his legs. I think in the Jaguars game, like,
this guy is just but you got robbed the touchdown another game too,
I think it was against the Packers, but he just I think he's got
the best hands in the league. He's obviously a great, phenomenal rock runner,
but I think he's another guy's gonna be cashing. Like yeah, it
is. Don't get me wrong. It's nice to have All pros, but
we know there's guys that like because you only one guy can get it or
two guys can get it because you have your first team All Pro and your
second team All Pro. But we know that they're gonna play at this level
for a long time to come. And again just not to like Brad Holmes
aka the Villain shot to Scottie T and questionable T, but shout to the
villain for just, I guess being able to bring these guys in at all
fastest of the draft, to not just round one picks. I think Ady
Hudson has the capabilities to be in there one day. I think Kirbie Joseph
could be there one day. And I'm talking about both first and second.
But this guy, man, you can look into the future if you think
Ben Johnson even ag is going on to get another job elsewhere and you're kind
of nervous. So what the detroyit line is gonna do, especially looking at
that situation right now at the field off of Eagles where they're just they're fucking
crumbling their way into the playoffs. Yea, I think there's gonna be a
place that a lot of people want to be from being honest to you,
and it's partly to do to this guy's constantly replenishing, like you said,
and just the fact that he just do it in the first place. I
mean multiple first I'm sorry, multiple first team All Pro guys and just one
single draft class big swinging dick. Yeah, he brings that thing around,
he puts it on the table during KG said in the morning, got a
black car with the Yeah facts. Let me tell you guys about Lady James.

Mo Racks, Young, Chris JB. Smooth Pack Show, breaking down the
game. I don't think anyone's really talking about Kyrien Williams this week. We'll
be doing that. But a little bit of breaking news or official news coming
out of the Detroit Lions in terms of like injuries, Chris, if you
don't mind throwing up there the official injury report heading into the Detroit Lions Super
wild Card weekend game against the Cat Weekend wild Cat Weekend Baby. Jerry Jacobs
if you guys missed that news yesterday, he will be out for the remainder
of the postseason. Uh, dealing with a little bit of knee likamt an
issue outside of that. No James Mitchell, who I was kind of gassing
up this week. No James uses. No James Houston, which if I'm
mistaken and I could be wrong on this one, I have to go back
and maybe count of actual days these surpasses twenty one day. When is he
officially ineligible to come back? I don't know. I had to check that
out. No Cleif Ramon, which I think a lot of people may be
overlooking. By John Cominsky, Sam Porter Bothalt says questionable. I'm going out
there on a limb as officially unofficially telling you I think the guy's gonna play.
But I think kleif Raman that could actually be a big one that at
packs detro Lin's offense. Anne, what are you thinking the James Easton one
sucks. James Easton one sucks for sure. I thought that was gonna be
a big piece. I thought he was gonna he was gonna help this pass
rusher a lot. He was gonna help them get to Stafford. He was
gonna help them harassed Stafford. Throw him around back there. It really sucks
that he is not gonna be on the field. I don't know what that
does to affect his window, but him being out for this game is pretty
rough. But you're looking at now, Romeo Aquara, Charles Harris, Waw,
Josh Pascal. These are guys that are gonna need to step up.
These are guys that are gonna need to step up on the opposite side of
Aiden Hutchinson. They're gonna need to go out there. They're gonna need to
make some plays. Is the playoffs now, so it's either win or go
home. It's either do or don't do. So we need them to step
up the I do believe that Sam Laporta is gonna play. I think he's
ready. I think he's ready to go. We got a video of Sam
Laporta, the one from practicing, yeah, practicing running routes. Uh yeah,
yeah, I got it down. Do you want to meet a three?
Okay, just turn the sound off, all right, but it's off.
Samlporto was out there running routes at practice today. You see that big
knee brace on his left leg. He's out there, you know, doing
routes at fifty percent speed. But it's a good sign. It's a good
sign to see him out there getting some balls. I do believe he is
gonna play. I hope he plays because James Mitchell not being out there either.
That's that's tough. Uh, Cleef Raymond. We'll see who is uh,
who's in the return duties? I know they called up Maurice Alexander from
the practice squad, so maybe he'll get some of those return duties. Maybe
I love in there as a return Yeah that makes me, I mean,
I no offense to Craig Reynolds job joy. I know they catch you know,
figure which sports programming. But Maurice Alexander showed you last year and the
special teams as a returner consistently blowing my mind. Paul is intended if they
need to be there, but Marie Alexander is consistently like I was pissed off
to let him go. But I'm just checking, double checking to see on
this twenty one day window when it comes to James Houston, I think we're
good. Yeah, I was just looking that up via the Oakland Press.
It says that was published December twenty eight and a couple other publications set as
well, So twenty four days from that, he's still in that window.
Okay, cool, So next Tuesday, I believe Next Tuesday at Wednesday is
like when they have to make a final decision on James Houston, all right,
following the win, but figure out that I think Marie go ahead.
But yeah, Mariice Alexander getting called up. We'll see obviously Cleive Rayman he
does more in the offensive game, but that just opens up more spots now
for Jameson Williams, for Donovan Peoples Jones, for Josh Reynolds to get in
there, get the receptions that clif ram And sees. But on pot return,
we'll see if they go with Donovan Peoples Jones or Marie. So they
just brought up either. I understand it's a playoff game, and maybe you
want to go DPJ because he is he's actually pretty good return man too.
I would I mean, I'm not bought heart over who it is, but
if they bring up Reseuch, they're not expected to be in resu Xander.
But in terms of I guess I'll start where you started with James Houston.
That is disappointing, especially on the I guess coming off as another situation where
you and Bruce Irving mutually part of ways because you couldn't make a commitment to
each other. But one thing I don't understand is, you know per NFL
rules this year, you're practice squad guys, those numbers of like starts like
reset in the postseason, and he made a commitment to the Miami Dolphins just
this week to go play edge rusher for them. I believe through a practice
squad situation too. It's like why it just sucks, But I mean,
hopefully it's means that James Houston is coming back. That means that James Houston
come back, I should say, because I wanted like some sort of like
remnants of a speech speed ed rush on the opos side of Aden Hodginson.
I think we saw that combination worked really well last year. But in the
less this defense has been kind of turned on since they finally got the safety
piece that Aaron Glenn's wanted, either whether Ifemalefan Wu or our guy CJDJ big
fan of the show, shout out to him now apologize. I hope we
can make peace whatever, James Mitchell, that was unexpected, but I think
the pieces were gonna hurt again, Like you said, is Cleeve Raman.
I think I think he did a lot of dirty, dirty grunt work that
I guess it was taken for granted because he a lot of those like little
short route situations. He would even go and grab you in an extra like
four or five six yards, but he was always consistent with it. And
I think it's like you kind of overlook it because of how consistent he was.
It was a breaking off for really like huge plays every once in a
while maybe, but I think he was consistent at the position and almost like
slid low key because of like the size and whatnot. Chris, Yeah,
and I wanted to add to that too. Like the Rams, their biggest
weakness is their special teams, Like so him, you know, not being
on special teams hurts because this is a situation where you know, if he
gets it's a very good return a punt return or a kick return like that
can really change things for the Lions. That can swing momentum in what a
lot of people are expecting to be a close game. So yeah, that's
where to me, it's the bit. It's the biggest impact. You're right
about the impact of those of those one two, three plays a game that
he makes that he gets he gets that ten to fifteen yards and that just
opens things up. But I think it's special teams where he's where it's really
gonna hurt, because sure that's where they could take advantage. Yeah. Yeah,
it's a mix of both, I mean definitely. So the special teams
part of it come on too. In that game against the Vikings, I
mean Dan Campbell, I think it was Monday we hit the podium. Going
going forward this week, one of the first things he made note of his
the special team's effort in the last game, and obviously Cleeve Frame would be
a huge part of that. I think he actually was a was he All
Pro NOD or Pro bow nad last year for that one? Yep, second
or first team, I don't know what it was. But he is a
great special team and that's how he's made his living in the NFL, and
I'm looking right now two for his yards per catch. Yeah, thirteen point
nine yards perception for Cleive frame on the year. I think that's an underestimated
value he brought to this offense. But like you said, I mean,
whether it's it's DPJ, maybe Maris Alexander, I don't expect him to get
the snaps Antoine Green that we may have forgotten about. I like DPJ.
I just I just I feel like kind of like because he's little. Yeah,
I got seen him the apple with bike. Yeah, I'm saying crazy
to do with with with target kill us to hide hid behind the offensive line
and you know, pops out on the motion. They just try at least
like he was literally crouching behind him tackles. You know what I'm saying.
But it is what it is. We move on. The Detroit Lions have
been playing with injuries, I think both these past two years, and they've
continued to win games and including this year, missing a piece like I'm around
Saint Brown. That's the genius of Ben Johnson. I saw a common earlier
in the chat saying the Ben Jonson over, He's not Ben John's not over
because we've been missing tons of pieces like here and there DJ Chark last year
and we still carried on and cashing. I'm a roud last year, I'm
roud this year. I think he missed one too. So like it will
be good, but it definitely I like being sure better than knowing I'll be
good. I want to be more confident in that. But it'll be fine,
man. I still expect to deatur Lions not only compete with the Rams,
but cash. I saw Tyler Higbee Uh was listed as questionable. Thank
god for the Rams. I shouldn't. I shouldn't say thank god, but
he's a he's a good tight and Matthew Stafford loves the Titans. He does
love his tight ends. Another another notable injury for them is Jordan Fuller,
who wasn't participant all week. Who is uh is one of their safeties that
they love with because they don't forget, Like I know they're like we talk
about likes mcvay's familiarity with golf. Remember I'll be pleasant. Who was here
secondary coach took the l last year they was last year he got canned.
I don't know that's not disrespectful. Well he's their secondary coach now, so
he's familiar with golf. I believe Fuller was there with golf. I think
they got John Johnson back now too, who's been with the golf. But
Fuller is on a didn't participate at all this week, and they've been kind
of like hesitant to answer like exact questions about him. He's dealing with an
ankle injury. It looks like Troy Reader, their linebacker, questionable as well,
but he practiced today in a limited fashion. Higby practice all week,
though it's like it looks like just limited, so he's probably playing. Who's
Kevin Dotson knows he started for them. I don't know. I'm gonna check
it out. I'm not worried about Cliff Raymond being I saw where DNC said.
Valenti said, Laporta and Leaf combined for thirty seven percent of our first
downs. I'm not worried about Khaliff being out for the offense. They'll be
able to make it work without Kleef Raymon on the office. No disrespect to
Cliff Raymond, but Ben Johnson has shown us that he can make it work
if he's missing a piece, and Cliff Raymon is not the most pivotal piece
on this offense. He's a good piece, for sure, important piece,
but it's not an Ama Ross Saint Brown or a Sam Laporta or David Montgomery
that they've missed and have still looked pretty good. So I think they'll be
able to pick up the slack without having Cleif Raymond. Based on JMO production,
Donovan Peebles, Jones, Josh Reynolds, those guys will be able to
pick up the slack for him. I'm not too worried about. That is
the return game where they're gonna miss him the most, and it's listen.
I get like that's like a traditional radio station and Villinny is one of the
greatest in our city at the very least. But a lot of that's draw
ratings the same way the news does. They make everything seem a little bit
scarier. That's fear mongering thirty seven percent. That may be true, But
San laport is playing You Got the Need Drink twice this week. He wouldn't
be in practice if he wasn't gonna play this week as a playoff game like
we have. That part of it is Sam laport is gonna be out there
at Cleief Raymond. That's the piece I guess you could you mope on a
little bit there, but we'll be straight. We'll be straight. Do we
have that heading to break or am I now? I am? Yeah?
Yeah, a starter by the way. Dowson is a starter by the way,
but he's still just questionable. Oh well, I like that for our
defensive line. When we get back, talk about thetra Lion's defense and how
they can stop Kyle Williams, who's quietly was the second leading rusher in the
NFL this year. Before I got to tell you about favorite pack companycause for

Rex Young, Chris JB. Smooth. We got Tosh point on the
building, but if you guys want to hear from them, we gotta hit
one hundred and sixty nine likes. I don't know where we're at right now.
It'd be nice to be one hundred six. Is not like I didn't
even like you, so we could tease Tosh point zero. Dal Hairs do
under the radar. I feel like, maybe for not the hardcore fans,
but for like just the casuals. I like the story has been made about
Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford deservedly so. Obviously quarterbacks the most important thing than
pookin Nakula Cooper Cup. I feel like Kyraen's flying underneath the radar. Yeah
you see. I mean Kyran Williams is a big piece of this offense.
He is a second team All Pro back. He is a guy that's gone
out there and put up numbers. He was second in the NFL in rushing
yards, and he even missed some games. But I'm not worried about Kyron
Williams. If there's one things Neil said it this year, or Neil said
it earlier in the week, he said that, he said that the most
consistent part of this team all year has been the rush defense. And that's
true, and it's kind of weird when you think about it. You would
say the offensive line, the running backs, the receiver, the receiving corps.
Now it's been the rush defense. And you look at it. They're
second in total yards allowed in the NFL rushing at fifteen hundred and nine.
They're third in yards per carry allowed at three point seven, and they are
third in rushings first downs allowed at ninety one. Through these games, they
played some good backs too. It's not like they're going up against scrubs.
Kenneth Walker seventeen carries forty three yards two point five per Pachecko twenty three yards
allowed. Bjn Robinson ten carries thirty three yards, Aaron Jones the first time
only eighteen yards on the ground. Tony Pollard sixteen carries forty nine yards.
This Detroit Lions defense is tough against the run. They stop the opposing run
game and they shut it down completely. Kyron Williams is a very good back.
Kyon Williams is an explosive back, and he has an offense that helps
him out. Because you have Cooper Cup, you had pookin Nakoula. You
gotta put an extra safety back there to worry about those guys. But this
Detroit Lions defense does one thing if they do anything, and that stop the
run. So I am not too worried about kyn Williams. We've talked about
it before going into these matchups. Oh the Bears, they averaged the second
most yards per game in the NFL on the ground. Lions shut him down.
Oh Tampa Bay Rashad White, he's pretty good on the ground. They
got a top five rushing attech in the NFL. Detroit shut him down.
I'm not worried about Kyen Williams more than I am about Pooka and Cooper Cup.
I trust the Lions defense to stop the run consistently like they have all
year. She's trying to sneak a shot of White, and there is that
great year. I don't know about that. But one thing that's been most
consistent thing, and that you can go back to last year looking at that
that kiyas this defense kind of like coming along in terms of like AG's plan.
Yeah, the run defense has been great, phenomenal matter, the second
best in the league. And that's with missing Alee McNeil here and there too.
So eighty eight yards eighty eight point eight is what they're averaging against,
the second best in the league. And then I was like, okay,
there's always context that too, because at one point we faced the I think
the Chargers that like second in the league in sacks, We faced the Bears
or the second league and run defense we stay able to run all over them.
There's always contexts. Okay, you may be arranged really well, but
who've you played? Yeah, all right, K nine premiere back in the
league, I say, right, forty three yards. I say I got
a bigger list of bijon premiere back in the league. You say Jon,
Yes, you say Jon, I said Jon cana I and Pacheco, Aaron
Jones and Polish. You said Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs are pretty well sixty
one yards ACCLA had six seven yards. I know he's not premier back in
terms like rushing a Kamara fifty one detrol Lions still cashing him. Ment.
Yes, it is no matter who like who you are. I will say
this. Obviously they haven't seen the Rams this year, and I've heard their
offensive lines a little bit like upgraded and ready to go like they said they
got. That's like the strength of the offensive line is the run game.
Obviously that shows and Kyle Williams like doing really well. Still commedy ditital lines.
You know who's got a damn good offensive line The Atlanta Falcons. Yeah,
b Jeon Robinson, Tyler Jiar didn't do shit against this rush defense.
I am not worried. I'm not worried. The Lions will be able to
limit Kyen Williams. They will be able to hold him down to his lowest
total of the season so far. You can book that. Well whatever his
overt take, his under take, his under take, the Kyen Williams under
whatever it is, because the Lions do one thing good on defense if they
do anything like I said, and that has stopped the run. Ali McNeil
back. They brought up Tyson Alulu. Give me those big dogs in the
middle to shut this down. Karen Williams will not be a factor in this
game. I'll put you this on. I can't see him going over sixty
sixty seven yards and I think if if you want him to be like an
impact piece. One of the criticism of Sean McVay when I go back and
listen like rams media, is that like he's too quick to abandon the run.
And it's true because when I go back to look at Kyle Williams like
lowest outputs, there's been games Matthew Stafford through for fifty five times. His
game where he threw like for thirty eight and another game we threw for thirty
three. He abandoned the run. Of those situations, whether Detrol Lions are
going to do early in the game, which I believe they can do with
this guy's consistently done off season, I think they have to do it early
for it to be effective. But stop it, stop the run, don't
let Kyri Williams get loose, don't give him any any soft Z owned situations.
I think we're gonna be able to do that too, because they might
be stealing this one from Men and Kimes to just heard it from. But
and it's true when you think of Kirby Jose. If you hear like the
middlefielder, like saying, use a lot sunnerfielder, centerfielder, I apologize because
he's just that. It's a high safety scheme, right, So it's like
you have all that stuff in front of you, We're gonna be able to
stop the run. We're not gonna have any soft boxes forms to run through
because we have everything in front of us. We have him out there playing
cinderfielder and making plays. What he's gonna do too. When Stafford has to
throw the ball, if they're gonna be us gonna be it through Stafford's arm.
I don't think it's goold be through like Kien Williams, though he is
good, and I'm not dispect them at all. But Lions are just as
good at stopping the run as Kien Williams is at running the football rams are
at running. Guess what else helps this run defense? Only McNeil coming back,
yep, Jack Campbell coming on, starting to make better players, starting
to get in the backfield, coming on whatever whatever offense he's looking at,
he's stepping up. He's making bigger plays. Chauncey Gardner, Johnson come That
helps the rush defense a lot. That guy comes up, he's in the
box, he'll lay a stick. Ask guys AA Pacheco in the Super Bowl,
Charles Gardana Johnson put him on the dirt. All those things helped this
rush defense improve even more than what it was throughout the year. Those three
guys, their improvement and the two coming back from injury is a big boost
to the Lions rush defense. The linebackers have really stepped up. Like Jack
Campbell I mentioned it. I think it was just yesterday where he's one of
my key players of the games because we've watched him evolve throughout the season.
And if they didn't hear yesterday and again, he started the season the only
way you can see action in the field at the sam linebacker spot. Okay,
held that down, visually evolved and be able to get some starting reps,
a little bit more reps at the middle linebacker, which he he lives
and he gets you know, makes a paycheck at the only position he's played
his entire life. Now you start to eat at that too. I think
he's athletic enough to make plays and where as long as our guys are filling
the gaps like they're supposed to as a linebackers supposed to come down to scrape
off the edge, and that's exactly what they're gonna do. I think,
hold him that run, but you have to do it early. You can't.
You can't do it like spread throughout the game here and there. You
have to be consistent that where you make this team one dimensional and you kind
of force in Matthew Stafford to do what Matthew Stafford has done for twelve years
at least that we see him and throw up those fifty to fifty balls.
Have a Kirby Joseph O'Brian branch or whoever it may be, capitalized on those
situations. But you have to do it early. That's that's my biggest ask
of this team. And as much as like again Kyle Williams, all due
respect to them, the Rams Rink eleventh, we've seen rushing defense, I'm
sorry, rushing offenses higher ring than that coming here in Detroit, reither,
whether it be on the road, no matter where it's been, that run
defense been the most consistent thing and we've been able to shut down no matter
what regardless. So make them one dimensional, and I think the Twance could
do that. There's any RAM fans in here listening. Check the numbers number
two in the league's you know when police like flash the badges real quick,
like pace suite number two in the league. Yeah, we got And since
that, and it's been consistent all year, they have shot down opposing running
games and I think they continue to do that. Filling backer is a big
piece of that too. A shot outs to my guy Derek Barnes who just
had his I don't know if it's first job, but he just had a
baby. I know that the that feeling of the father can be like revigorating.
We saw I miss that big sack. Yeah, wait, listen,
I think that you might get a little bit at the dash drink now.
The shot to him, but I think he stop. Kaien Williams. How
about the passing game, Kyle Wiams, he has a couple of games He's
like sixty yards in there. Yeah, that's gonna be something that I'm not
worried about either. I'm not worried about that either. Hit Kyron Williams in
the flat. Please hit Kyron Williams in the flat, because you know what's
gonna happen. Then, Brian Branch, Chauncey Gardner Johnson, Alexander Seloney,
Jack Campbell, they're gonna step up and they're gonna put him in the dirt.
They attack the outside passing game. Those four guys on the outside on
those short underneath passes. They attack receivers when they get the ball out there.
So please give it to Kyin Williams. Let's see Brian Branch come downhill
and make a tackle. Let's see Chauncey Chohncey Gardner Johnson, see the deuce
come flying downhill, make a tackle. Jack Campbell come across the field,
laid a stick on somebody. Alexander SELONEI do what he's done all year and
be fantastic in past coverage. That's quantastic, that's quick, fantastic. I
am not worried about Williams when he's receiving the ball because the Lions have shirt
tacklers and speed on the edges. A numbers. I'm going to at Kyri
Wims so off point, I'm gonna the number one. I'm the top ten
ranked rushing defenses that Kyri Wims gone against. And I believe he's only faced
the forty nine ers and they held him to I think that his lowest output
in the season, if not mistaken, thirty eight yards. Let me check,
uh fifty two yards, that's that's tying the second lowest though what VWM
you said, hah wait to the anal zone. Hey, that's the thing
too, is like the same thing with the Rams a little bit too,
Like we're not as familiar with like what they got going on there because it's
built by a ton of like young guys. The same thing, like I
don't think the Rams fans are aware of like Jack Campbell. They may look
and to see him at the slow start, but he slowly evolved to the
second like leading tackler on this team, and a guy's gonna be there with
violence. Alexandloni guys may have been slept on. We know I'm here Detroit
because we got the fans of Loney's and Ato zones. It's fun to you
know, fun to play on. But he's been a dog, He's been
very very Like there's his names that a lot of people are probably unaware of.
And while we're making these predictions, I mean, I do respect me
to Times and Nanolowski, like those guys definitely do the homework, but a
lot more of like the Mike Florio's and and uh the other guy and that
yet Chris Sims, who I do like Chris Sims a lot too, but
like they make those predictions, like brother, you just last week said the
Lianes have no speed on the offensive side of the ball. We got fucking
Jim Jameson Williams engineer Gibbs, Like that is just a wild like that's a
wild statement. And then you try to backcheck album besides him wid Yeah,
we didn't say besides him, you said didn't have it Like a lot of
like these like national guys, and I get it too. It's hard enough
to keep up like one team here like we do in Detroit, all the
ship that goes around all these different players and what they're capable of doing.
But on national zone, like national scale, they're missing it, Like you
guys don't know what we got cooking, Like this is like been a top
three offense, top five offenses two years consecutively that you're talking abouts at the
run defense like we're going to cash in. I see there's like I don't
I didn't ready commics yet, but they're saying there's rams guys in the chat.
Yeah, you guys don't know what's coming with Sony. A lot of
you guys think this hits sweet here, It's not. On top of the
fact, is gonna be like a ravaging, raging fan base that hasn't had
a home playoff game since before I was born. You're coming in the day.
Shout out to this guy though, this RAMS fan in the chat Rams
Faithful thirty nine. He says, you guys are legit, no doubt.
All them top picks we gave you guys, we ain't sleeping. But Stafford
don't care. That's true. Shout out to him, that's true. I
am worried about Stafford and Pooka and Cooper Cup those. I'm not worried about
the Detroit line stopping the run because they've consistently done that all year. But
when it comes to Stafford throwing the ball to those two receivers, I'm pretty
worried about that. Tam Bay's the top ten rush to defitch. I think
they played him, played them. I should say, actually we look at
do you have his stats up in front of him tirns? Yeah? Did
he play the Texans? No? I don't think they did. They played
Dolphins? No? Did they play the Vikings No. Two Four or five,
six, eight, nine, ten, Jaguars. Wait, this is
only twelve games? Oh one second? Or Eagles, I know they played
the Eagles. Let me see what we did against the Eagles. I'm just
looking at like what he did against his top two. Okay, Eagles held
him at fifty three yards. Yeah, like Eagles, he had fifty three
yards. He's a good running back. Cincinnati held him with thirty eight yards,
and I think the Eagles were right there at tenth if I'm counting right.
Yeah, I mean Brown's just outside of that. I know he played
against the Browns. What do you do there? Like he had one hundred
and fifty two yards against Washington, he had one hundred and fifty eight yards
against Arizona and then one hundred and forty three yards against Arizona. I mean,
put things in perspective and Arizona back to bet. I had him in
my fancy shots of him for carrying me to the playoffs the moments where I
needed him. But we have yet to have a single running back run for
over hundred yards in the Detroit Lions I think since Week nine of last year.
Yeah, yet to happen since I'm sorry, I'm sorry, go back
to Carolina Carolina. Since Carolina, there has been a single running back to
run for over hundre yards detrot Lions. Actually, matter of fact, I
think on the season and only one team has rushed through the running backs,
just running backs over one hundred yards and detO Lions, and that was the
Ravens. And they did beat the Shavas. Yeah, but you guys are

Welcome back back to a lot on sports dot com. I'm the boy
easy, join my guys from a RAX Young Chris Jam Smooth Tosh point one
of the building smashed up like one of your guys want to hear from Ram
but should be I'm obviously inviting trolling when I do this, But do we
want to hear from Rams fans? I'm kind of like curious, like,
oh, you only you know your team the most and only you know,
like what you're truly nervous about when it comes like your team. I kind
of want to hear like some of the insecurities from the RAMS fan, I
know we're gonna get ours what we think too. Well. Obviously it was
concluded the losses of them, But if any of those guys want to be
real about it, calling RAMS faithful does not seem like a cousin. So
RAMS faithful inviting you to call in DM me, I'll get I want just
you the number if you want to DM me on a AX. If you
have it, it's at Speakeasy Sports Underscore. I'll get your numbers seen call
in. But we do have some common elements in these RAMS losses. Look.
I looked over the number, I crunched the numbers, and I saw
some things that popped up when you look at the RAMS losses. RAMS lost
to the forty nine ers. Guess what happened Christian McAffrey one hundred and sixteen
rushing yards. RAMS lost to the Eagles. Guess what happened? Swift and
Jalen Hurts combined for one hundred and forty two rushing yards. RAMS lost to
the Steelers Najie Harrison Warren average four point five yards per carry, Tony Pollard
when they lost to the Cowboys five plus yards per carry. When they lost
to the Packers, the Packers had one hundred and eighty four rush yards five
plus yards per carry, and when they lost to the Ravens, the Ravens
had one hundred and thirty nine rush yards five plus yards per carry. Gither
quarterbacks forms. I put all the numbers together, baby, and so when
you beat these rams, you gash them on the ground to a tune of
four and a half plus yards per carry. The way to beat these rams
is pound the rock. Keep Stafford off the field, eat that clock,
control time of possession, keep the offense, keep those great receivers off the
field, and pound the rock. And what had the Lions done very well
all season? All season, that's pound that fucking rock. With David Montgomery,
with Jimir Gibbs, with this offensive line that has two all pros on
it. You go out there, you push the Rams around, you pound
the rock. You have success. It has been consistent all year in these
Rams losses that when they lose, it's because they give up a lot on
the ground and the Lions have been known to take the souls of people on
the ground. The Lions have not met a defense that can stop them on
the ground yet this year, and I think that continues on Sunday. And
to go off that time of possession, that's one of the numbers I got.
So thirty one is the number. When the Lions time of possession is
thirty one or more, they are eight and one. In those games when
it is under thirty one minutes, they are four and four. Like,
this is a team. They're only lost by the way in that eight and
to one stretch was the was the Packers Thanksgiving game. So this is a
team that, like, like you said, Spencer, the Rams weakness is
running the ball, but the Lions when they have the ball, when they
control time of possession, they are one of the best teams in the NFL.
So that is that is a that is an absolutely essentral stat I liked
that. I like, I like to hear that. I don't know if
you combine the quarterback numbers, but I'm looking the rest of the straight runningack
numbers, it's still the same. Yeah, the forty nine ers. I
mean, I've been on the show for the Rams fans new here. I've
been on the show. To like point Blake I got cost the midwest forty
nine ers. I think we're missing everything outside of like maybe a second like
wide receiver two is as good as like Brandon Ukas. I think Jamee Will
definitely got possessed ability to be that and more with the speed. But I
coss the midwest forty nine ers. I think a lot of people would lean
towards that because of the way we won the ball. If if you've on
a national level, everybody knows about this offensive line, it comes as advertised.
I mean, you look at Jamior Gibbs and David Montgomery to be able
to cash in ten touchdowns each almost both of them almost had a thousand yards
each. David Montgomery had his thousand, Jamior Gibb came just short of a
thousand. I think I want to say he was like forty sixty yards maybe
short of having that thousand year. By the way, though missed couple games
too, and at the beginning of the season as a rookie, he was
seeing the field. And I know everybody on national level remembers that. When
everybody in the fantasy team is bitching jami Gibbs, Jamior Gibbs. The run
game is serious, and that's a true characteristic of your guys. Losses.
Hey, Vidlans, Yes, we're coming in the season, and I think
we're not coming in your season. You come in here, you come to
the face of Kings, the king of the jungles, the Lions. Whoop
that ass? What other characters are fund I mean, that's the one I
looked at. Yeah, I was gonna say, there's a reason that Jamiir
Gibbs is the most explosive runner in the NFL. Yeah, there's a reason
he has the most carries in the NFL over twenty yards. There's a reason
he averages five plus yards per carry when he gets the rock. The dude's
explosive. Running between the tackles, running outside of the tackles, he is
explosive. They call it rhythm and bruise as the backfield, and it's awesome
because that's exactly what it is. A little bit of thunder, a little
bit of lightning. These guys that go out there, they make plays.
David Montgomery pound pound pound over and over and over, over and over and
over and over and over and over and then Jamieer gives one carry and he
could be gone. We saw David Montgomery do the same thing. He took
a seventy five yard touchdown to the house. You know, these guys can
both carry the rock in between the tackles, off of the tackle, outside
pitches, whatever it is. The Lions know how to run the ball.
The blocking scheme that Ben Johnson cooks up with his tight ends, with his
Pro Bowl, All Pro offensive lineman, They're gonna run the ball down the
rams throat. I'm looking to the commonality like the losses. Obviously turnovers a
big thing of it. But Matthew Stafford with those these interceptions, that's always
meaning towards obviously your line's favorite those situations. But I'm just looking at like
the amount of times he has to throw the ball over thirty three attempts,
looks at the cash and a lot more losses coming around. Run around five
hundred those situations. And the teams that they have beat when they have gone
over those thirty three attempts. You're talking about the Washington almost the last name,
the Washington Commanders. Yeah, New York Giants, like the teams that
aren't like I mean, the bad teams, let's be real about it.
Yeah, but once stat that would be in the Rams favor. And that's
why despite the confidence I have and we talked about in the last seving of
stopping their run game, the reason why it's still going to be closest because
the Lions have the worst quarterback quarterback opponent rating against against receivers like their receivers
obviously eating it. And that's been a consistent theme and that's been something that
we've been worried about all season. But another stat I'm looking at too is
that is the red zone. Now, they looked they've looked better in the
red zone recently, like especially in that Dallas game they had they had that
stop, like they've they've looked better in red zone defense. But there's still
twenty ninth in the NFL in red zone defense, and this Rams offense is
fourth in red zone, so it's going to be crucial to keep them out
of there. That's a good point. I'm still the more we're going like
throughout this show with like like tangible evidence too, and not just like,
oh well I think this is going to happen, I'm leaning more towards the
Detroit Lions a bit man if and be honest with you, I feel like
the run sets up so much more for them because even like you, even
like you mentioned to begin the show or Mina Kins, I think Lucas mentioned
this on Twitter two shout out to him, but he mentioned like the type
of like the weak boxes that Kyrien' seeing because of those receivers. Yeah,
we don't you don't have to deal with that here Detroit. We really don't
have to, Like we have to single highbver Gucci and I think I saw
something they had to two on. There's like s blitzing those first downs,
like let's go get after them. Yes, you know, I think again
if if we if our defense is I guess starts early. Sound, which
I think I know them to be characteristic of them is playing sound football.
It's one trait of like Dan Campbell, I've like kind of been amazed by
a lot less penalties than we've seen like previously with like previous regimes. I
listen to you already know what. I think the Troylan is gonna win the
game. But yeah, for so many more reasons. As we like continue
to roll out the show, you see them like kind of like fall out
of the pockets almost like, Oh, that's that goes in the line's favor.
Oh that's in the lion's favor. And another big factor of that is
I talked about the guys in the back end coming up to make plays,
like the safeties and the linebackers. The outside outside guy Cam Sutton and Kendall
Vender Fielder are great tacklers. Cam Sutton is a great tackler in open space
and Kendall Wilder has proved that he'll lay the stick on some people. He's
a pretty sure tackler. From what we've seen out of him so far.
I'm pretty confident if he's got a one on one on the outside in the
flat in the screen and something, he's gonna step up, he's gonna make
the tackle. I've looked what I've seen out of him in one on one
situations when it comes to open field tackling. JB. You do multiple shows
the other day. Are we any keys were missing and the elements were missing
Detroit Lions taking his dub? No, I don't really think so. I
mean, I do think our secondary is probably gonna bleed a couple of yards
to jackyards in both Pookah and Cooper Cup. But other than that, no,
this run stopping defense should keep Kyraen Williams in check as much as they
can. If you check the lines right now, rushing for him is at
eighty two and a half, receivings at fifteen and a half, So Kyrin's
rushing is at eighty two and a half is at eighty two and a half.
I think that's the easy year. Eighty and a half, two and
a half. Yeah, I'm smashing down during a commercial break for damn sure.
Oh yeah, that is crazy. Chris. My final on this is
what I've said for weeks. I think the biggest key to this game is
just the psychological element and that plays into the first quarter. And the Lions
average six pointy five points in the first quarter, that's third in the NFL.
I think it is very important. I've said this for weeks, and
Herman Moore even said it earlier this week when he was on our show that
the Lions have to get off to a good start. They cannot be playing
from behind because this crowd is going to be electric, This crowd is going
to be intense. But if this team has to play catch up, if
the Rams start off hot, that all that excitement and energy quickly turns the
nerves, and that's gonna almost work against the Lions. So the Lions have
to start off strong because if they play with it, if they play with
the elite, they are a very very tough team to beat. And the
metrics prove that this is a team that gets off to hot starts. So
it's very important that they that they get off to a hot start in this
game. Uh. A couple of comments Wolvers Sports what they call him ankle
biter? I don't know it was even me. I don't know. Is
that worse than a good thing or a bad thing? Better than a shoulder?
But I don't know. It does sound like like a little dog.

hit that like on five Star on podcast platforms, I'm easy smell reaction on
Chris JB. Smooth. Be a friend, tell friends ship of stream five
star you on a podcast platforms like I said, and carry off the show
because earlier today you got into it with your papa Neil rule. Excuse me,
popa rule here. He told you your papa you're the one who's got
suned on the show Sunned by Who by Neil Never in my life Neil's argument
are literally fifty percent better than seventy that there's no being sunned by that.
In my book, it's the same thing as he's no, don't go too
far. I don't want to dispect Neil like that, but anyway, you
guys have to argue between Sean McVay and Dan Campbell. We did what happened?
Neil said that It started with Neil saying that the Rams have the coaching
advantage. The Rams, the Rams or the Lions had the coaching advantage.
Yeah, And I said no, I said, shot mc face a better
coach. And then Neil did his you know, gymnastics circus lay stuff and
got it too. No, I said fourth down. He started talking about
fourth down and he's he was saying that Dan Campbell is the more aggressive head
coach, which I agree with. Dan Campbell's more he's more prone to go
for it on fourth down. And Neil was saying, if you put Dan
Campbell on the Lions in twenty fourteen, they win that game because he goes
for it on that fourth down in Cowboys territory. And I agreed with that,
But Sean McVay is the better coach. I don't think anybody can sit
here with a straight face tell me that Dan Campbell is at I can't.
Dan Campbell's good coach, he's a good coach. Yeah, but he's not
Sean McVay is one of the top five coaches in the NFL. Yeah,
I can't. I wish there was more like to go back and forth on
this one, but it's not. Sean McVay designs the offense, he calls
the plays. He is a fantastic play designer, fantastic schemer. Like Dan
Campbell is a great leader of men. He's aggressive in play or in decision
making. But Sean McVay does more for the team than Dan Campbell. I
love Dan Campbell for sure, great coach. I love him out there,
my coach, But Sean McVay is a better coach. Dan Campbell's watched cancer
Locker's cancer lockerom, He's cancers, Saint's cooked. No, he's not good
coach, He's not top five. No, are you even Allons fan?
I am a Lions fan. That's dangerous territory. JB's is is Dan Campbell
better coach than sew MC. I won't abuse you too much. I mean,
I think he is, but that's just my personal preference. Everyone has
their favorite Campbell's based on what, well, what are you basing on Sean
McVay being winning a Super Bowl, his play calling, his scheme design that
he does more. I mean, his play calls kind of fell off like
last season. I'll give them the fact that he has that Super Bowl.
He's not washed or anything like that. He's still a credible, good coach.
But I mean, at the end of last season, hell, he
was trying to fire everyone off of his squad just to get someone new in
there. What is he doing this season? Though? This season is an
amazing improvement. I give him credit for that, But hell, Dan Campbell's
leading this team like he's your high school coach. It's more important to the
offensive success? Dan Campbell or Ben Johnson? Ben Johnson? Who's more important
to the offensive success? Sean McVay or nameless Rams offensive coordinator. That's no
idea who they're I have no idea who that d what it is. But
hey, this is personal purpose for me. I'm going with Dan Campbell.
It's fair. I mean, j I love you, brother, but Hey,
hey, we need some pushbacks. So I like it. He's a
residential slappy. But to be honest, coaches, up until today, he
was the youngest human being ever alive to even hold a head coaching position in
the NFL, and then from that point went on to become the youngest one
to go to the Super Bowl and then the youngest one to win a Super
Bowl. Sean mcvays is nice like that. And you want to talk about
like as Detroit Lions fans, right, we see Matthew Stafford here with Calvin
Johnson, with Reggie Bush, with Golden Tate. These are the same time
at the same team the same time. By the way, yes, sprinkle
a little dominicance. Sue falls short of making the playoffs and obviously he never
catching a playoff win. Looking what they're doing Matthew Safford situation right now without
Reggie Bush without which I mean Kyrien is pretty good, but without Calvin Johnson,
without like that stack making the play right, and Calvin Williams was what
a fifth round pick was he undrafted? Not even know you have to tell
was a fifth or sixth round pick? Like he's got them as all pros.
Yeah, Like it's yeah, it's Sean McVay. I love Dan Campbell.
I'd say Dan Campbell is the better leader. He's the better leader of
men, he's a better motivator. Yes, I agree that, and he
is more aggressive. But Sean McVay is a better football mind. He's a
better play caller and designer. They both do different things very well. But
Sean McVay is a better coach. Yes, I think both got plus and
minuses in different categories. Yes, so I mean I can agree with you
on that as well too. Yeah, if we're doing I'm not gonna don't.
I love Dan Campbell was a fifth round Pick's gay? Look at you?
Nice? Nice? Got it? What did you already know that?
No? I didn't. A couples the third Like it's yeah, yeah,
can you get to the shortcomings of Matthew Stafford here Detroit? Like like obviously
you could point the last show you wont I completely dismissed that with an injury
to Matthew Stafford, the injury to Aaron Donald, Like everyone got hurt in
that team last year and they kind of just cash it in for like whatever
the hell it is, whatever happens happened type of situation this year. Know
what, he I don't think I was the only one. And I'll take
a lap on this one. I don't think it should be a lap that
have been taken, though. I think you guys are absolutely insane for dismissed
him to begin with. Remember the beginning of the year, I was jumping
up down, but yeah, because like he's not there, supposed to be
one of the worst teams in the league this year, and they finished ten
and seven, bro Yeah, ten and seven, And that's when Stafford missing
two games that they could have won more. You know what I'm saying,
Like this, dude's nice. And then you talk about like Matthew Stafford never
having the run game here in Detroit, who was his running backs when they
won the Super Bowl? Henderson, Like they didn't they weren't doing Dick yet,
Darryl Henderson and Sony Michelle all due respect. And I'm not even saying
that because I don't respect him. I'm not gonna say it. That's a
disappointment, Sony Michelle. Sony Michelle, he thought, fucking I never thought
he's be sweet Michelle, New England. And but he, I mean he's
not yeah, yeah, yeah, And then back in college. Yeah,
but he was. He was really good at Georgia. Yeah, Georgia.
That was Nick Chu and Sony Michelle Rightfield. Swift was there, Yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah dogs literally Georgia Dogs. Yeah, dude, he took
off Stafford was Georgia took off? Nice like that? All right? Sorry
for breaking down who's got who got best coaching? Obviously, I think we're
going to the Kiren out. I R, what do you mean? That's
that's what I don't think that's the team took off. Yeah, we had
all these comeback, but we're still here either way. Coaching advantage, I
think go to the Los Angeles Rams. I have no issue with that,
even as a Detroit Lions fan. I had to get it. The youngest
coach to get coach, and then the youngest and the Super Bowl you gotta
give to him. Uh. Quarterbacks, If you're looking at it as a
one game sample size, the Rams have the advantage at quarterback, say that
one for the last Huh. Yeah. If you're looking at it as as
one game sample size, you need Golf or Stafford. Who do you want?
Golf or Stafford? Stafford? The Rams have the advantage at quarterback.
Goff's had a better year. I'll give golf Daddy had a better year,
for sure. But Stafford is more talented. He's got a bigger arm,
he's a little bit more mobile, he can do all this, throws in
slots. What'd you call me? A slot? A little slotthy little slot.
But Stafford is I think he is more talented. Okay, I'm gonna
go to because I like this little back and forth we got going on,
JB. What's up? Who's got the better quarterback? And I'm but I'll
stay out of it, probably because nobody knows what you're gonna say. No,
Actually, I'm probably gonna get fired for this if I have to chew
one. Obviously, I believe I have more confidence in Jared Goff, But
seeing Matthew Stafford for the years here in Detroit, side arm, all this
other stuff like that, just his toughness, I might have to leave Matthew
Stafford. Yeah, oh, Chris, do you want it on the action?
Yeah? I want it on the action. Let me talk about my
boy matt Stafford. Right, David witt says more mobile, LMO stop,
Yeah he is. He can move around better. Yeah. Do you not
think that's true? That Stafford can move around better than golf, Like it's
true, three point five miles per hour. Yeah, he's still moving all
right, we'll more than that one. Like everyone's kind of Matthew Stafford in
that situation running back because I put plural for reasons. I'm yeah Detroit about
Karen Williams, David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs. Yeah, come on if Jamier
Gibbs like potential in my opinion, is higher than that of Kyrie Williams,
Am I tripping on that? No? I mean this Lions all the way.
I'm not trusting. I like Kian Williams, but Royce Freeman bagging them
up? No, I'm good. Yeah, Chris, No, it's a
Lions, man, it's a Lions easily mobility is a wash oh man,
No, it's not. Come on, guys, come on, I mean,
I don't. I really don't think it's gonna be that much of a
factor. Like you're not wrong, like clearly he does, But I really
don't think it's gonna end up being that much of a difference maker. I
feel like, who has more rushing touchdowns this year? Spend? Yeah,
Jared Goff does do you believe Jared Goff is more mobile. Do you think
he moves around the pocket better if you do? More power to you,
brother, I don't. I think once upon time maybe you could pick off.
No, because like McVeigh, so you and Stafford was fat. I
forgot about that, all right? Running back advantas Detroit Lions Lions running back
advantage for sure. All right. So I got La with two of them?
Do you Troit with one? All right? Receivers L yeah, L
I think so. Yeah, it's close, it's close. I think what's
coupleing done this year? I still give cup of credit for what he what
he is? White guy. Also get Stafford kind of makes receivers, man,
Hell yeah, hell yeah, gotta give him credit. Go with the
Watts, No, for I kind of makes receivers too. Yeah, and
Jamo's coming. It's close for Staffy. Can I go wash? Yeah?
You smell like ship. Please do it. No, I'll go wash on
this one. What he is called? I'm like with tally marks. Yeah,
that's what I would call it. Okay, I need to I need
to put something. No, that's what I wash. You don't put anything,
don't put I can't. I can't put nothing. JB. That means
nothing. I think this is a watch too, Like I really want to
lean. It's really close, but yeah, he said, it's really close.
Like I feel like this will probably be a make or break game for
Jamo. He you know, is an all staring balls out in this game?
Then yeah, of course the Lions receivers are better. But I mean,
you can't go against Cooper Cup Triple Crown champion a couple of years ago,
like and Hollow and Dre all Caps. Stafford don't make wide receiver w
T W t F he talking about bro has the leading wide receivers of all
time, the two best rookie of all time, and the best rookie receiver
season of all time. We're all Matthew Staffords didn't make most touchdowns, most
receptions, he crushed at all, went all three. That is the best
rookie receiver season of all time? Do you guys? Wember Chris Durham,
he thinks a viable option wants to put on Corey Fuller. DeMarcus Robinson looks
pretty good to at well. Was Marvin Jones? Where did margare Joe?
Where was he last year before he came back here Jacksonville. I think yea,
yeah, yeah, you know he did straight common numbers of the tark
Actually Kenny, Kenny Galladay, Kenny Galladay. I'm going lines for receivers.
That should be the only one you need is Kenny Gollu. I'm going no,
no, no, no, not an attempt to disrespect the la RAMS
like receiving corps. But as you said, as we witnessed, like throughout
like time, Stafford makes his receivers look better. Even if they are great,
he makes me look even better. Like Cooper cup was good with Jared
Goff was literally a fucking triple Crown winner under Matthew Staffords. I'm going Detroit
Lions with receiving core pound for pound. But I could. I can see
you guys go from wanted to be watched. It's pretty close, man,
it's pretty close. You got out the break. You want to do the
rest of We come back, going to hop Onto. Yeah, we can
do the restaurant. Come back. All right, let's do that. Dan.

Live More sports dot com. I'm boy easy. Joined my guys from
a rex. You know Chris JB Smooth smash that like bund At speak sports
on the score. If you want to follow me on next Bitch, I
mean, whether you like it or not, We've got at more. Actually,
gonta give him a ball at real Chris Platt because so many of the
fake ones. JB up Next breaking it down. So far, I got
two for two. I got the rams with the coaches, the advantage in
coaching rams advantage and quarterbacks I think quarterbacks qbs. Whatever I have us with
advantage running backs, and I gave us the vantage of receivers moving on tight
end us. Yeah, even though he's banged up. Yes, yeah,
we're gonna do that right for sure? Lions. Okay, second team isn't
even a conversation. We have second team, all right, offensive Lions,
go ahead to give that to us as we Lions offensive line for sure.
Any bias, I'm pretty sure the Detait Lions. Lions recognized the same thing
all pros Cash knows in its like the flashing the badge. Flashing the badge?
All right, how about defensive line l a rams Detroit Lions. Who
has the advantage of there, I'm gonna go with Lions. What I'm gonna
go with the Lions? Bro, Yeah, I'm gonna go with the I
think with the way they stopped the run, the way they shut down opposing
running backs with a coming on having eleven and a half sacks this year,
which was a great year. Aaron Donald's not what he used to be.
Still a pro, he's still in All Pro, but he's not what he
shouldn't have been an All Pro. He should have been, he should have
been first team All Pro, should be Aaron don still a pro like second
team. I'd have to look at who got Chris Jones. All had better
years than Donald. Dexa Lawrence Yeah did he? Yes? Where this coming
from? I would go with the Lions on this one. Aaron Donald is
very good for sure still, but he's not what he used to be.
The Lions have a more complete unit at defensive line. I think the Rams
defensive line kind of falls off after Uh, Aaron Donald. Kobe Turner his
rookie year, He's having a good year. Six sacks. Yeah, they
got another rookie. With Colly McNeil being back, he would have had over
six sacks if he didn't get injured. Mom, bro give me the give
me the Lions Jbh'm assume you say Lions too. Yeah, I'm taking the
Lions as well. I mean no disrespect to Aaron Donald. I know he
made the AP team, but you can have a conversation to that. Hey,
you had like maybe a subpart year as right now. I do like
Kobe Turners as well, but the Lions are getting guys back on defense healthy,
So I'm leaning the Lions. Uh, Chris, Yeah, I came
in, I came here. Yeah. Eight. The other guy is six.
Sorry, I only know of Kobe and Donald, so I'm not gonna
act like I'm the most verse. So I came in that's ready to say.
The Rams off the strength of Aaron Donald, I think honestly speculated out
a pretty good case. I think I'm gonna have what case do we call
the run game? You don't think all McGill was playing well until you left.
I think Kobe Turner is playing like the if not better than Allen.
You don't think it helps having Aaron Donald next year? It does help with
listen to a podcast their athletic writer, which I respect the athletic writers probably
more than like the publication the ship. So they were like one of their
complaints was that it's never like like past rushing in secrets, so always like
this one guy went in theirs and like, you know what I'm saying,
resting and so forth. Whatever, But yeah, both rookies, And I'm
sorry, is Ram's faithful still in the chat? What is the other kid's
name? I'm missing it. I know they got Kobe Turner, but I
think it is it Brian Young or Byron Young? Is he the other one?
Byron Young? Is it Byron Young? Yeah? He's got six sex,
right, I could be wrong. No, Byron Young has six sex.
I'm sorry. Byron Young is a sex. Kobe Turner has nine secks
and then you have Aaron Donald with another eight. Yeah, sorry, guys,
I can't this Saint. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah,
ainde tra liance, this is la rant. I changed my vote. We
bitched about the past Russ all season. I gotta make it, Tally Mark,
what are we doing? They also play Arizona twice. They played Washington.
Okay, we played Panthers. Yeah, play Washington. Play Washington is
a whole different beast. That's fair. Man got sacked and forty seven times
this year. I want to do pull in the chat. I know it's
mostly Detroit Lions. You can give it to the Rams, JB. I
might have to change my vote. Is that you can keep? I mean
the sacks add up a lot man. Yeahah, that's pretty big gap.
But then you also have to look at the teams they played as well too.
All Right. The only reason I'm going Rams, It's not because I'm
biased, is my argument. But I see one three One three is Detroit
Lions fan DCP one Detroit Lions fan we see them in the chat all the
time. Yeah, both those guys said Rams. Yeah, you can give
it to the Rams. All right, defensive line Rams, linebackers Lions,
Lions. And I'll be honestly, I'm not as like well versed with the
Rams like linebacking corps, but I know the Detroit Lions they're doing They've been
doing work all season. I think that's like part of the reason we have
such a great run defense, those guys making sure tackles like when they need
to. Anybody pose all a pose? No, all right, silence,
all right. Defensive backs Lions, Chris JB. I'm not well versed with
their defensive backfil I'm being honest with you. I think I think they actually
do pretty well in terms of like interceptions. But like you said, they
played the Cardinals. They played a back quarterback in Sam Donald the last season.
Let me look at this schedule real quick. Do you have any forty
what Elspinny give me? Yeah, their schedule? Yeah, I thought I
did, but don't. All right, you're good. Ram's faithful to the
secondary, you guys, Ram's faithful secondary us. Yeah, because they played
Daniel Jones. I mean, you look at the Washington, Baltimore, Cleveland,
Chauncey Gardner, Johnson Kirby, Joseph, Bryan, branch Camp, Sutton
Lions. Okay, so we and I feel like we're kind of unbiased in
this voting. Were we not? I mean it's like we're kind of fair.
Defensive line got a little shaky there, but you got, yeah,
we got. I think we're what interceptions tied in sacks tighten sacks? Yeah,
I don't know. I couldn't tell Rams have forty one sacks this season.
I think the Lions have thirty eight Detroit Lions have I don't even have
a sack total on this sheet. Do you find it? No? Of
course the one oh here we go thirty one? So Rams. Yeah.
As to chat City chasing waterfalls, well, either way, we're kind of
bias. So I feel like and the voting of that Rams faithful if you
could, I guess, confirm or deny damn, the Ravens had sixty sacks.
Who do you think one of the tally the Lions Lions? Baby?
Of course, nnes baby, let's go lines. I mean, the narrative
has very much been that the Rams win in the arm the Lions and the
Rams both have forty one. Forty one, and the Lions have a much
better rush defense. Oh, I'm sorry. For some reason, my brain
translated that pass rush. But a lot of the Lion secks did come from
secondary players and linebackers. That's true, Yeah, that's true. I know
Jack Cambl's got a few. If he's got a few branches one, I
think he has one, right branches one got cocently Yeah, yeah, I
mean defensive line. I'm going I really like because I respect as at lion
a mount of sacks and better rush defenses. That's good though, I like
that. Well, I know I picked it for a reason. Pick what
the Lions are having the same amount of sacks and a better rush defense.
Who said in the chat? How do you would you find it? Somebody?
I just typed in sack totals? You know, I hate Lions and
the Rams both have forty one, and I didn't like. I didn't know
even know it was that thing. I mean I knew existed. They've only
let up thirty one sack. That's what it was. We Lions, Yeah,
which is what is that ring? I don't know. I am nervous
about their interior rush. I'll be straight up honest with you, because I
feel like that's where like you're worried about Graham, Yeah, a little bit,
a little bit. I think it will be good in the running game
of it, but like in the passing situation. And again, these are
guys that are familiar with Jared Goff come up from Aubrey Pleasant that I was
coaching here, who I think was with the Rams beforehand too, And then
you have obviously their safeties and whatnot. Obviously Sean McVay, who realized the
short comings of Jared Goffer, wanted to upgrade from that for a reason.
He's he's quite clear on the decisions he made on where Jared Goff blacks because
he had to sell that to the front offices, which is a fucking When
have you ever seen a starter first starter traded for each other in the NFL?
Like up like QB one for QB one. Well, it wasn't straight
up. I mean, we have the trade if yeah, you're right,
No, no, no, I mean you have the trade yeah if you
want. Yeah. I'm just saying, like, when have you ever seen
like, you know, QB dre wasn't a straight up yeah? Yeah,
yeah, Like like Sean McVay had like clearly so management and possibly even ownership.
I'm like, yeah, this guy can't do this and he fucking sucks
at this. When they do that, he obviously is like very aware of
the short comings. I don't even know where I was leading with that one,
but uh, I'll say I'll say this, like, the Lions may
have more advantages across the board, but one thing that the Rams have in
it such an advantage of is that is just the playmaking in the wide receivers
and that's good enough to win. Like that's why, that's why you can
go into this game and you can feel confident the Lions can win, but
you're not, You're not completely sold on it because they can just have that
game Like I get flashbacks to Seattle, right when you just when you just
don't give when you don't give enough pressure to the quarterback and you give him
time to get it to very good receivers, very good receivers are going to
get the ball and that can be enough to win a game. So while
the Lions can have more, you know, when you break it down by
category advantages, alls it takes is them just being stellar in that one to
pull off a win. That's why you can still be kind of nervous heading
into the game. No, that's facts. One of the things is about
Cooper, not Cooper. I'm sorry, but like what are like the obviously
doing like a bigger film study and like watching more highlights do brick tackles?
Yeah, dude's physical. Oh he's pretty big six two two ten, Like
he's he's more than just like running out there and just grabbing like these great
balls. Matthew Stafford even once he gets the ball, he's so tell us
about Mark White. I'll tell about Mark White. You guys looking to move
into the snow, put up my guy, Mark White. He said,
you got the five thousand dollars in your clothes. Costs five thousands thousand dollars
