WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:10.080 But here, the Dallas Cowboys have traded the twenty fourth pick to the Detroit 2 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:18.719 Lions. With the twenty fourth pick and the twenty twenty four NFL Draft, 3 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:27.960 the Detroit Lions select Terry and Arnold's defensive bagumb I love it. Oh. 4 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:32.079 People were going crazy with that. People in Detroit were going crazy with that 5 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:37.840 because they get one of the best cover corners. Some would argue the top 6 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:44.439 corner prospect in this class, who he gets compared to? Nate Wiggins drafted 7 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.000 a little bit later and the kid out of Clemson, Blions could have had 8 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.759 him. He's not going to be compared to Quinnon Mitchell. You can't not 9 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.920 from a Lion's perspective, because Mitchell was taken ahead of him. You didn't 10 00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:00.840 have an opportunity to draft him. So that's that's not in the cards. 11 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.599 But he will be compared to somebody taken after Mitchell, by the way, 12 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:10.719 taken by the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't know if you saw Micah Parsons reaction. 13 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.480 I can't believe how lucky Philadelphia gets. They get a top ten talent 14 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.879 at their pick, and I'm thinking to myself, I'm thinking to myself, 15 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:29.000 I do wonder how often how often you watched Quinnon Mitchell at Toledo anyway. 16 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:34.480 Rob Rubick from the Detroit Lions broadcasts and at Ford Field and from Ballet Sports 17 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:40.560 in Eastern Michigan and former NFL tight end for seven years is with us here 18 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:48.519 at a send and the Soaring Eagle Casino resort where we were last night as 19 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.359 well before we get back to Rubes. Just a quick thought on that you 20 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.159 may have a regarding the draft. Also, the Nuggets over the Lakers last 21 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.159 night, in case you missed it, Jokic, Gordon and Quarter all with 22 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:07.000 double doubles, twenty point double doubles. Orlando blows out Cleveland, worst loss 23 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.280 in playoff history for the Cavs last night. That one blew my mind, 24 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.520 just because Orlando hadn't led against Cleveland in the first two games. Sixers get 25 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.120 a playoff career high from Joel Embiid with fifty points and they beat the Knicks. 26 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.879 They're within one win of tying that series. And then in the NHL 27 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.360 Florida over Tampa three to Carolina over the Islanders, same score, both teams 28 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.360 up three games to non Stanley Cup playoffs have been so damn good. I 29 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.439 mean, really impressive. And the Tigers will play the Royals tonight, the 30 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.960 first of a three game weekend series. This is what I wondered. There's 31 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.400 you know, there's two hundred and seventy five thousand people downtown last night for 32 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.800 the Draft. I'm not saying there's gonna be that many over the weekend. 33 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.520 It's got to be a nightmare to be around there. He would have thought 34 00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.520 that the Tigers scheduling would have avoided a home series during the weekend of the 35 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.120 draft, just saying. So, it's Ries Olsen against Seth Lugo, who 36 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.439 is three and one, and Kansas City was a two one winner last night. 37 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.120 Salvador Perez had a first inning, two run homer. He's thirty three 38 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.280 years old and he leads the American League in RBIs. Dude's a Hall of 39 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.199 Fame catcher, really good player, and a really good dude. Uh So, 40 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.919 we're here at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort across the Great State of Michigan. 41 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.240 On Exus and Bros eighty six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. 42 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.879 You can text Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. Roobs. I know 43 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:44.120 you've gotten really caught up in the Stanley Cup playoffs and in the NBA playoffs, 44 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.319 So tell me what you do. Yeah, before we get at that 45 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.560 would make one comment on the all the people being down there to Tigers. 46 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.360 Yes, and I can speak of this because my buddies today they took school 47 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.599 off former teachers or our teachers. I'm a former teacher, and they're going 48 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.080 down of the draft and they're gonna take a Tiger game when they're there, 49 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.680 so they're gonna double dip. So I think some of these people, all 50 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.639 those people went down in there. You know, first of all, you 51 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.840 gotta play the cit that's a good boy. Watch the game. It's gonna 52 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.120 get beautyl sixty five degree day in the city, so they'll double dip a 53 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.879 little bit. But yeah, NHL love it. It's just and my son, 54 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.040 who was a college football player and seem to be a doc. He 55 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.360 loved hockey. It's his favorite thing. He just he never played like you. 56 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.160 You know your son's played. Did you skate when you're young? No, 57 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.600 Yeah, I skated. I played until about nine or ten, and 58 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.560 then back then. You know, the skates are like socks with blades ont 59 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.279 them, so your ankles are like they were very they didn't support you. 60 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.040 Well, uh, but I loved it. And it's just there's so much 61 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.480 value in every Russian hockey. Every time they come down the ice pea. 62 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.199 Oh they don't score, no, no, but they almost score a lot. 63 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.319 Yeah, and that's what's exciting. So when you do get a goal, 64 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.560 it has great value. So I just in the overtime in NHL, 65 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.240 there's I mean, you can do an overtime football and NFL. I like 66 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.519 it. But if they get the ball and we get the ball, hockey 67 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.680 is like, stop me, we're going home. You're golfing especially. Yeah. 68 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.079 The only thing I wish hockey would do is if you're going to do 69 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:14.120 something during the regular season in overtime, I wish you would do that in 70 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:18.800 the postseason. So I would love to see three on three in the postseason, 71 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.360 just like they do during the regular season. If you don't want to 72 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.519 know that, Yeah, I hate I think the shootout. The shootout to 73 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.920 me is kind of pass. I think it's I think it's run its course. 74 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.560 Instead of playing five minutes of three on three and then go and shootout, 75 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.920 play another five minutes of three on three. Yeah, someone's gonna do 76 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.000 it for sure, and speaking of that, Rangers play at Washington today, 77 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.360 Vancouver's at Nashville. That's a really good series. Vancouver's a lot of fun 78 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.360 to watch, man. I mean, Quinn Hughes could have been a red 79 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:56.759 wing uh let all defense in points incredible. Winnipeg at Colorado, to me, 80 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.160 is the best series. I was looking forward to that more than any 81 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.759 I think either team can reach the Stanley Cup. They are so flipping fast, 82 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.839 they are so good. I love mccarr, I love McKinnon, I 83 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.839 love what Colorado has built. But I tell you Winnipeg, led by Kyle 84 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.480 Connor and Mark Schifleet, they can they can play, man, they are 85 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.639 so fast. And then Edmonton at Los Angeles that series tied at a win 86 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.399 apiece. I love watching Connor McDavid at five assists in game one, one 87 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.639 assist in game two. Zach Hyman had a hat trick in game one, 88 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.120 had a goal in Game two. It's it's phenomenal. So get a chance 89 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.439 if you can to check out some of that too, because you really don't 90 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:42.199 want to miss it. And look the NBA Playoffs it's been really good too. 91 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.439 I've enjoyed that more than I have probably in the past. The stunning 92 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.839 thing to me was, first of all, the Bucks look terrible even in 93 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:55.519 their win. I think that the year I thought, yeah, they struggled. 94 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:01.199 They have not responded to Doc Rivers like I thought they would. And 95 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.160 then the other thing was, yeah, it's it's kind of crazy. But 96 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.639 the Boston Series, I mean, for some for some reason, I mean, 97 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.439 who would have thought, no Jimmy Butler, no Rosier, and yet 98 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:21.199 Miami drains twenty three triples, a franchise playoff high and wins in Boston even 99 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:26.439 though Jaylen Brown had thirty three. Okay, you just mentioned Doc Rivers. 100 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.879 Is Doc Is he won NBA Championship? No, Okay, we talked about 101 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.759 I'm gonna throw this out there. You said he didn't respond when they brought 102 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.519 Doctor Riverson. I mean, but if I'm on thinking, why would he 103 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.120 hasn't been this legendary coach. Then you look at Miami. You're talking about 104 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.319 Eric Spolstra. All he does is win, and don't matter who he rolls 105 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.399 out there. He's a tremendous coach. He's a he's a Hall of Fame 106 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:57.160 coach. He's run up your favorite coach from San Antonio, I mean Greg 107 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.160 Popovich. Yeah, but you look at you, look at Sposter. He 108 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.560 just all he does is win him as you said, two of the top 109 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.000 players, and he's still with Jimmy Buckets the rules here. It's amazing. 110 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.439 I just don't know what he does differently, what his is which allows him 111 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.279 to be so good with so many different types of players. But how come 112 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.800 I guess they keep paying him, keeps him there. Thank you. I 113 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.839 think Pat pat Riley recognized it. I think Pat Ridley is one of the 114 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.560 few guys in the history of the NBA. Jerry West is another who has 115 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.240 been successful as a player. Now Riley wasn't Jerry West, but he was 116 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.679 still a decent enough player to play on a championship team, a coach and 117 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:48.360 a general manager. Wow, good point. I mean, he's just he's 118 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.159 just not really he's just really really good. All right. I want to 119 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.639 get back to the NFL because that's what this time of the year is all 120 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.879 about. What impresses you most about how the league operates? Before you joined 121 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.639 us, I said, all the different things that they do, what's the 122 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:07.759 thing that impresses you most about your league in general? Okay, as part 123 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.440 of the league and Rober Goodell from the top down is they keep you engaged, 124 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.759 as you're talking earlier match, from the pre season till the next pre 125 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.399 season. There's always something. You have the season, then you have the 126 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.919 playoffs, and you have the super Bowl. Then they work you right into 127 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.399 the combine. After the combine, then they go, you mock drafts one 128 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.159 point oh, one point whatever, all the way up to the draft right 129 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.559 now and now when the drafts thing. Guess what also the free agent time 130 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.559 they make. All the movement in the offseason they cover and that's covered. 131 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.519 Well, you creat your own network, I mean, and then the other 132 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.879 one stalled, the NBA network and MLB and so forth, NHL, but 133 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.240 there's nothing like the NFL network. So they keep you engaged all the time 134 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.320 they're marketing there there. Whoever, their strategic planners are of how to create 135 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.919 a company of professional football and to keep everyone engage. You run because it 136 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.679 is seasonal. Yeah that's a great and they don't make it. Yeah, 137 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.200 it's a great point. You got to take a quick time out back with 138 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.120 more. Rob Rubick here at a cent a sortie who casino and resort gets 139 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.279 your thoughts on the Lions draft pick.

Buddy Kennedy has 146 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.600 come up from Toledo and already made a big impact on this Tiger scene. 147 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.759 His background is fascinating. When he was in middle school in Millville, New 148 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.000 Jersey, because his trainer also trained Mike Trout, he began working out with 149 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.799 him just as Trout was beginning his major league career. Kennedy says, even 150 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.879 though Trout was six years older, he always treated him like an equal. 151 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.000 He pushed him to work out as hard as he was, never let him 152 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.399 miss a workout. Trout isn't the only reason Kennedy reached the major leagues, 153 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.600 but it never hurts to have a superstar tell you you belong. Twelve years 154 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.240 later, The two are good friends and continue to work out now with trout 155 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:15.200 Home every off season.

They have to be borderline cocky, they have to be incredibly 171 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:05.720 confident. He sure fits that mold. It sounds like it. He's getting 172 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.360 a taste of the Detroit crowd. Preseason, pre preseason. Yeah, you 173 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.360 know, during the draft, because you know, two hundred and seventy five 174 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.200 thousand, and I can imagine that to be leavest, two hundred and twenty 175 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.639 five thousand of those were Lion fans down there. I mean obvious teams, 176 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.279 people coming fro around the country. But you know, Matt, I was 177 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.000 lucky enough to have a chance to be the playoff games last year that I 178 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.679 do a show prior called Talk Talks. Will feel free to stop by the 179 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.159 but light don't. There's a shameless plug for rober Rick. Before the games. 180 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.120 I always bringing alumni. You know, we talked about last week's game 181 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.120 and upcoming games. I had a chance to be down there. That was 182 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.559 crazy environment. I mean, I said, it's like the guy who was 183 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.559 a job that walked in the desert for forty years looking for water. I 184 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.240 don't know. That's what the Lions fans are right now. They're looking for 185 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.720 anything. And last year, you know, they were being delivered by Brad 186 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:58.279 Holmes and Dan Campbell put a great product out there, and the product lived 187 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.000 up to all the hype and they had a great season. Now can they 188 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.039 follow it up. It's gonna be tough. It's gonna be a really difficult 189 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.840 conference. We saw a Green Bay with a young quarterback who looks like, 190 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.799 now you're gonna be pretty good. They're gonna be good. And the Bears 191 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.519 are just you know, that's a seven win team that got to be get 192 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.480 the first pick of the draft. So they got a couple guys. You 193 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.639 know, their receiving course just gonna be stupid, crazy good. So yeah, 194 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.159 I immediately think of the Stros commercial. You know when the guy going 195 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.960 through the desert. I was really hoping I got I got some nice cold 196 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.000 water, he says, I was really hoping for a strows. Remember that 197 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.200 it was a great commercial. Great Ben, you got you got a text 198 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.039 for us. Yeah. One draft observation. John All and Latham are men 199 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.759 among men, big old boys who block out the sun, pure muscle. 200 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.720 Yeah. Uh, I love the guys up front, folks. We talk 201 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.000 about the quarterbacks and the fact that there are six quarterbacks, a record six 202 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:03.200 quarterback taken in the first round. That is tied with the nineteen eighty three 203 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.600 class. But let's remember this. Eight offensive tackles went round one too, 204 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.639 that was a record. And there were also five trades. One of those 205 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.679 trades, of course, the Lions moving up to get you know, Terry 206 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.279 on Arnold. That was the olweight to Marino, wasn't it was? That 207 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.360 was the great the greatest quarterback drafted class ever. Yes, far, I 208 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:33.039 mean, I mean that's I don't think that's because they were taking Can you 209 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:39.279 name the six quarterbacks? Well, obviously lweight to Marino, there's two. 210 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:45.919 It was Jim Kelly in that one. Yes, who were Todd Black No 211 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.159 that time correct black legs. Yeah, that's four. There were two more 212 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.440 that were One was really good Ken O'Brien. Ken. He was not the 213 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:03.080 one. He was pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 214 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.799 Bright, He was a jet correct. He was actually pretty good. It 215 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.519 actually played really well when he went head to head with Marino because everybody was 216 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.320 upset. I thought he's a pretty good quarterback. I would call him, 217 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.240 I'd call him a good court The other's Tony Eason, right, Yes, 218 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.879 for the Patriots. Yeah, and got him to a Super Bowl in eighty 219 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.559 five against the Bears where they were simply truck when they played the best defense 220 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.519 and the best scheme ever. Not great, not great. So when you 221 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.200 look at the Lions now and look, it's not a finished product. Terry 222 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.240 on Arnold is one of the corners. How do you view their strengths for 223 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:45.240 this team knowing that they still have a couple of depth maybe another starter that 224 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.039 they're going to grab. My belief is always this or is I think if 225 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.840 you when you're drafting your first round pick, your second round pick should be 226 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:57.440 starters outside of maybe two positions because you've always said quarterback and cornerback are the 227 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:03.279 two most difficult transit positions to transition from the come college football to the NFL. 228 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.799 But I would say those two two rounds have to be starters, maybe 229 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.599 in the third round, and then you build depth. So how do you 230 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.960 look at them and their strengths right now as you see the line? Well, 231 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.200 okay, and that's a great question, Matt. I look at their 232 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.839 strength as their offensive line. And to the people who I've talked football with 233 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.519 as much as any of my life, was my college coach Jim Mark and 234 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.440 you and Jim Hark. When I went to training camp, I said, 235 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.240 coach I was starting camp. I comment, I'm having a hard time blocking 236 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.160 these guys. He said, well, what do you do well? Roops? 237 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.759 I said, well, I get open, I catch them ball. 238 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.039 He goes, Yep, you do that. He said, work in your 239 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.720 block, but don't worry about you keep catching the ball and getting open. 240 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.319 He says, they will overlook your you know what you don't do well. 241 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.640 So he would highlight my strength as I'm getting to here and you, and 242 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.960 this strength is offensive line. So I have no problem building more depth, 243 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:56.079 creating more because you lose your receiver that's maybe not not your one, but 244 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.920 you lose your two through five. Here Diamond does, and I'm sorry I 245 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.000 don't. I'm not the greated receiver. There's a lot of good receivers out 246 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.119 there, So you're okay with Josh Reynolds being gone. You feel absolutely there's 247 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.440 there's fifty other Josh Reynolds in the NFL. And that's not a knock on 248 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.920 Joss. He's one of fifty. There are good backups and stuff. There's 249 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.640 fewer Amon Rods, all right, but you can plug that in but offensive 250 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.920 line. Now you get a really good offensive linement and he goes down. 251 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.000 Man, it's nice. You don't want that huge drop off because it's such 252 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.559 a butterfly of flat fact. When all of a sudden, you there's a 253 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.880 guard, you put a guy that it's a pylon, an orange cone, 254 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.720 and all of a sudden, your quarterback is getting pressured. We can't get 255 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.480 the ball off, we're punting all the time, we're getting sack, we're 256 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.599 turning it over. You can't do that. So that is so important. 257 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.640 So build depth there, create some depth so you can handle adversity in the 258 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:47.119 seat with injuries, and I have no problem with that. And then also 259 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.000 you always want to go after your knee areas. That's your sin. Cornerback. 260 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.000 We knew that he signed in the off season, but they still draft 261 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.519 creating that depth, getting better where you already think you're going to be okay. 262 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.640 And that's what the later routes do and the good team. We looked 263 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.319 at the Patriots for years. They were the benchmark what we all wanted to 264 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.559 be, like, that's all they did. They stockpiled draft picks. They 265 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.039 didn't care about first and second round as much, but they wanted ten picks 266 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.240 from the second or late second through the seventh round. They want ten eleven 267 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:21.480 picks every year, and that's how they built their team. Jep, we 268 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.519 talked about this too. There's twenty two guys, I'll say twenty five guys 269 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.440 that play in the game most of the time. Maybe it's you more of 270 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:33.359 those twenty five guys. Twentiam's job is not to lose the game. When 271 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.440 I didn't have to win a game, Billy Simms was gonna win the game, 272 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:37.839 or Gary Danis and Ery Ship was going to make a pass a Londred 273 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.799 times. What I had to do is do my job. Don't get a 274 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.079 holding call. They throw the ball, catch it, get what you can 275 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.519 get. Don't let your guys beat you clean. Just do your job. 276 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.240 Don't lose a game. And they have the guys to win games on the 277 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.359 rock can win the game, right, they had Jamior Digs out of the 278 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.119 bath field Monte. They can win games for here defensively, Now Hutch, 279 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.240 he can make it. That can help you win a game. But you 280 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:04.640 need guys that are solid, guys that aren't going to be a gaping hole. 281 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.440 And I have no idea what your question was right now. I'm no, 282 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.920 I'm just I was asking what your thought was on their roster makeup to 283 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.559 this point now, so you answered it. Yeah, you answered it for 284 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:23.880 sure. People talk about Dan Campbell type players. Terry On Arnold appears to 285 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:29.480 be a Dan Campbell type player. How would you describe a Dan Campbell type 286 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:33.000 player without getting into the kneecaps and stuff like that stuff. Yeah, I 287 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.359 would. I would like to think I was a Dan Campbell type player. 288 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.200 I would have thrived under him from the fact that I played with intelligence, 289 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.119 I played with urgency, and I played to my limit. In other words, 290 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:45.599 I got everything out of my body and out of my talent as I 291 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.599 could. I didn't. It wasn't like seven years later after I played I 292 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.400 looked back and think, yeah, man, I could have been better at 293 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.640 this or but no, I pretty much maxed out my potential and that's what 294 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.119 he wants. And I remember Dan made a quote from his first year. 295 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.319 He said, we had the same type of guys that Brad and I assembled 296 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.400 that first year. The differences are more talented, he said. We've gotten 297 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.119 more talented guys that are going to play hard to the whistle, are gonna 298 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.480 work in the off season, are going to play at appliches, but play 299 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.000 for the guy next to you, And I get what that means. You're 300 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.799 playing for something bigger than yourself. I kind of say, you know, 301 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.119 you look at religion. Everyone has different views on religion. But it's my 302 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.440 thing is if you just got to know that you're not the center of the 303 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.559 universe, that there's something bigger and better out there for you. And that's 304 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:32.319 what football is. There's something bigger and better for you. You're not it 305 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.480 now. I was never Calvin Johnson, you know, Kelvin was kind of 306 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.160 in a lot. But you need guys like that, but you need a 307 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:41.599 coreship and that's what they have that offensive line. They don't care who gets 308 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.720 written up in the paper. You know, they don't need the camera in 309 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.200 their face. And you're going to death. And those are Dan Campbell guys, 310 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.880 guys who are great. They're not gonna quit, They're gonna we'ren ever, 311 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.920 We're gonna keep grinding away. And that's what he wants. He doesn't 312 00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:59.279 want a bunch of divas, yep. And he's he's got a good one 313 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:00.440 in tearing on its. Hey, thanks, Ribs. I appreciate it very 314 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.319 much Matt. It's great to be with you last night, great to be 315 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.759 with you all morning long.

We're at Soaring Eagle Casine and Resort. 338 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.960 We're in the Sports Bar Ascent where we were last night for a really 339 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:10.640 enjoyable time at a draft party. And then we're doing our show here from 340 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.720 a send here this morning. Bill Simons in The Huge Show will stay in 341 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:18.640 Detroit and do his broadcast from there later on this afternoon. And don't forget 342 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.920 middle of June thirteenth through the sixteenth, the LPGA Meyer Classic, the tenth 343 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:29.200 annual at Bliffield Country Club. We'll be out there, hopefully broadcasting live from 344 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:30.680 there as well. I know we got a phone call. Let's get to 345 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.279 a text real quick and then to the phones. Ben. How about the 346 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.440 text for us? Yeah, it says this is going back to Lebron. 347 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.920 It says Lebron is a baby, he ruined the NBA for his years. 348 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.640 New guys are sort of bringing it back. But I'm not a fan. 349 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:51.480 Michael Jordan is the go. Yeah. I think Michael Jordan's the best player 350 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:56.960 I've ever seen. I never saw Bill Russell, Will Chamberlain in his aday, 351 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.480 Elgiin Baylor, Jerry West, Bob Coozy all day for me, and 352 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:06.079 it's tough to say, but Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time. 353 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:10.279 I don't want to look. I'm not a huge Lebron James fan. 354 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.480 I don't think he ruined the NBA. I mean, the NBA's is popular 355 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.519 now as it's ever been. Lebron James is an absolute freak. He's a 356 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:25.480 twenty time All Star. He's an NBA champion four times, he's a four 357 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:32.160 time MVP, six time All Defensive Player, four time Finals MVP, nineteen 358 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:37.440 times All NBA. The dude is he does stuff. I'm sorry. He's 359 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:45.960 thirty nine years old and he is still this good. It's simply incredible. 360 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:53.119 Who at thirty nine, Who at thirty nine is averaging twenty six points a 361 00:25:53.160 --> 00:26:03.480 game. That said, it gets a little old when he whinds as much 362 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.279 as he does. So maybe that's what the texter is referring to, and 363 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.880 that's possible. I don't know if i'd say he ruined the NBA, but 364 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:22.039 I do believe he's He's put on a bad karma slash face of the NBA 365 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.680 when he goes to those extremes, and he does it more often times than 366 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.039 not, and it gets a little ridiculous for me. All Right, to 367 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:34.480 the phone lines, we go the Meyer hotline if you will, and you 368 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.039 can join the conversation. Eight sixty six eight three, eight forty forty three. 369 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.759 Freddy's been standing by Freddie. Good morning to you. How are you 370 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.480 on this Friday? Good morning, chef. How you doing, sir? 371 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.200 I'm doing great. Thanks for the call. What's going on? If anything's 372 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.839 ruined the NBA, it's the money, in my opinion, But I guess 373 00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:56.839 you could say that about all sports, but I think more especially in the 374 00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:03.640 NBA. The money's just four years, four hundred million. That's a lot 375 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.119 of money. But I want to talk to you about the draft and a 376 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.960 couple of things as well. Ruberg goes on, I wanted to touch on 377 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.599 before because I want to ask you about the six quarterbacks they with the draft 378 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.920 in the first run. Excuse me, Roope said something. I'm glad he 379 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.240 said it because I mean, honestly, if a fan said it, you 380 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.960 know it'd be it'd be coming from a different direction. But when he said, 381 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:32.519 hey, Golf, think about taking maybe less money, more guaranteed money. 382 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.400 Stay here. You got a great situation here, I thought that was 383 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.799 I thought that was refreshing to hear that from an athlete. And it's almost 384 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:47.480 like the Lions are created this when you when you got the whole new home 385 00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.079 subdivision, right, they got the model home. It's like almost Homes has 386 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.119 created this model home. And Golf is sitting in the foyer. He's like, 387 00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.599 listen, Jared, this is what we're this is what we're building. 388 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.359 Uh. I get you. I get your house at a difference. I 389 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.759 get your house a really good picture right there. I like that a lot. 390 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.039 Did we lose Freddy? Oh there you are? Okay, all right, 391 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.680 I'm sorry. So it's almost like he's like I get your house at 392 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.200 discal just sit in the floor and watch what I can do with all the 393 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.519 additions that and maybe if you take a little bit less money, we can 394 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.440 create something here and you'll be this iconic figure for the next one hundred years 395 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.440 in Detroit. It's something to consider if you're going to take less money. 396 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.319 And I like I like the Anthony said that because it's coming from a fan, 397 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.839 it would be different, and so I thought that was refreshing. Yeah, 398 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.079 I think you're right about I think you're right about that. If it 399 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.599 comes from a fan, it is different. I have a hard time asking 400 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:52.000 athletes to take less money. When I'm me myself, I would ask anybody 401 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.319 in any job they do, any job, I don't care if you're an 402 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.799 athlete, a quarterback, whatever. How many times are are you saying to 403 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:06.480 your boss, I'll take less money if it means more reward for the company. 404 00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:11.920 You would if it meant losing your job. But Jared Goff would be 405 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.000 able to get a job somewhere. I think it's very convenient for us. 406 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:22.160 We want How many times have we heard take a hometown discount. I used 407 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.119 to laugh at that. How many people do that? You do it. 408 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:27.599 Maybe later in your career if you want to ring, But when you got 409 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:32.599 a chance to make the money, most people would say take the money. 410 00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.680 I mean, look, Joe Burrow didn't take less money. Patrick Mahomes didn't 411 00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:40.960 take less money. Justin Herbert didn't take less money. Lamar Jackson didn't take 412 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.799 less money. Jalen Hurts didn't take less money. Why is Jared Goff the 413 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.160 guy who's got to take less money? How much is not enough? How 414 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.480 much is too much? I guess that all depends on the point of view, 415 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.440 the perspective, right. Yeah. And by the way, I asked 416 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.799 my boss for more money all the time. He never listens today. So 417 00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:07.000 you you you brought the six quarterbacks, and that was a fair point, 418 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.680 you said you you said this morning, Hey, all of them are not 419 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.759 going to pan out, right, Chef, Is it fair to say? 420 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.880 Is it fair to say, hey, maybe it's not the quarterback didn't pan 421 00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:19.480 out. Maybe it was the organization didn't pan out. You know, we 422 00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.160 can go back to a lot of examples post where I suppose that is Possiblely, 423 00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:27.640 Look, I suppose it's possible. It's just so hard to hit on 424 00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:30.799 that many players. That's all I mean we were talking about the eighty three 425 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.200 draft that we reason. Thanks for the phone call, Freddie, It's always 426 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:36.559 good to talk to you. Have a great weekend. The reason we bring 427 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:40.160 up the eighty three draft is because that's the last time six quarterbacks were taken 428 00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:44.119 in the in the first round, and it's the most ever. Well, 429 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.640 how many of those guys really panned out? Todd Black legend didn't plan out. 430 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.160 Tony Easton for the most part, did not pan out. Ken O'Brien 431 00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:56.400 I think was pretty damn good. Okay, they're not all going to work 432 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.519 out. You think they will when you first get them, but it's it's 433 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:07.400 just not realistic. Who would be the guy who doesn't work out? I 434 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:12.519 think Jaden Daniels is pretty damn good. I love Drake May's power, and 435 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:17.160 I love that he's the youngest son. That means he got the crap kicked 436 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.599 out of him quite a bit as a kid, and he's one of those 437 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.400 guys who shucks it off and says, you know what, let's go. 438 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:33.559 I'm okay with that. Caleb Williams is really gifted athletically. You know, 439 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.720 you could talk about each one of those guys. Michael Pennixt's a really good 440 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:41.319 ball downfield. JJ McCarthy's a winner. Which of those translates? It's really 441 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.640 hard to pinpoint. But let me just get back to the Jared Goff discussion. 442 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.400 If you're Jared Goff and his agent, I might add, and you 443 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.759 and I probably this is such a hard conversation because I just can't relate. 444 00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:59.119 How do you relate to fifty million dollars? It's just incredible. But if 445 00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:06.559 you're Jared Goff and you see that Deshaun Watson gets a guaranteed deal of two 446 00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:12.079 hundred and thirty million dollars, should you not at least start there considering what 447 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:21.839 you've accomplished? And he hasn't. Herbert Burrell they correcked the two hundred million 448 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:28.279 dollar threshold with total guarantees during the twenty twenty three offseason. So Deshaun Watson's 449 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:31.079 two hundred and thirty million dollars, Joe Burrow's two nineteen, Herbert's two nineteen. 450 00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:36.680 Patrick Mahomes is two hundred and eleven or two hundred and ten and a 451 00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.400 half if you're Patrick Mahomes, and that's a lot of money, don't get 452 00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:44.599 me wrong. And he's getting paid for what he's been able to do. 453 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.880 He's one of the best, if not the best quarterback in the league. 454 00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:52.160 For crying out loud, If I'm Patrick Mahomes, I'm like, I'm underpaid 455 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:58.279 at my position. Justin Herbertson never gone to a Super Bowl, Joe Burrow 456 00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:04.440 has never won one. On Watson's never healthy and gets in trouble off the 457 00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:13.400 field. What's the knock against Patrick Mahomes his wife's voice. Seriously, if 458 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.880 you're Jared Goff, how do you look at what some of these guys are 459 00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:22.559 making and say, yeah, yeah, I'll take less. Sure other teams 460 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:27.279 found a way to do it. Look, I would love if he did 461 00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:35.759 it. Here's my question to you. Has a player taken less for the 462 00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:38.599 betterment of the team? Tom Brady had done that in the past, right, 463 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:44.119 Yes, a little bit less. He was still making a ton of 464 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:47.680 money, but he could have made more. It's a fair point. I 465 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:52.599 don't know. It's not like a lot of people remember a guy and say, 466 00:33:52.680 --> 00:34:00.000 if you're at Ford Field next year and Jared Goff loses a game even 467 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.960 though he took less money, how many people are going way to go Jared. 468 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.400 I know it's a tough loss, But I'm really glad you took less 469 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:14.039 money for the team. Way to go, proud of you. Nobody's saying 470 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:19.400 that, man, they want you to win. If he makes a lot 471 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.960 of money or takes you know, puts the team in a little bit of 472 00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:29.440 a challenging situation. For more money, you're going to go. You better 473 00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:34.159 win. Even if he makes less money, you better win. How many 474 00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.840 people do you talk to and they say the expectation for the Lions is to 475 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:45.159 get to the super Bowl or to win the Super Bowl. Did Penney Sewell 476 00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:51.800 take less money? I'm on ros Saint brownsher didn't. He's I was paid 477 00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.719 receiver in the league. Anybody think about asking him to take less money? 478 00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:58.960 Why? I mean, he's not on the field on every single play. 479 00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:04.480 Jared Goff is, Penney sewele is, and I like Saint Brown a lot. 480 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:09.840 It's not a knock on him. I'm just asking we want Jared Goff 481 00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:16.679 to take less money because he's got a good thing going. So did Saint 482 00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:21.000 Brown got a pretty damn good thing going, and he was a fourth round 483 00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:27.800 draft pick. He's got a damn good thing going. Didn't ask him to 484 00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:35.400 take less money. It's an interesting situation, you know, and I think 485 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:44.159 we we pick certain situations to use as our examples. Maybe a little off 486 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:49.079 base here eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. You can 487 00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.559 text us Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. I'm just I think of like 488 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:57.719 today's economy, and I think of business owners. Freddy called in and and 489 00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:02.280 and kind of parley that after what Rob Rubik, who joined us here at 490 00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:07.800 Sorting Casino and Resort, was discussing. So I'll use I mean, Freddie's 491 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.440 got a very successful restaurant where he sells pizza and pasta and all that other 492 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.760 stuff, and it's really good food. I think of today's economy. How 493 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:22.840 many people are working for you? Did you ask them to take less money? 494 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:30.800 Are you taking less money? It's if you are, you're probably working 495 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:37.360 twice as hard though it's hard to deal with this stuff. Are you willing 496 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.519 to do it? Are you willing to do in your business which you're asking 497 00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:46.320 another person to do in theirs. That's why sometimes I have a hard time 498 00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:52.639 discussing it, or at least suggesting it. Not discussing it, but hard 499 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:58.119 time suggesting it because I don't know if I could. I don't know if 500 00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.519 I could do that now, if it's an offer, if somebody comes to 501 00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:05.679 me with a job offer and says, I want you to do this, 502 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.159 and this is our budget, this is what we can do, that's completely 503 00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:19.800 different. The Lions chose to sign Saint Brown and Sewel, they gave Taylor 504 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.440 Decker a big contract a couple of years ago. They've made certain choices. 505 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:31.519 They still have a creative way where they can probably sign Jared Goff, give 506 00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:42.079 them what is justified and not be in salary cap hell, that's my guess. 507 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:45.800 It's up to them to figure that out. But I don't care what 508 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:52.519 anybody says. Anytime you're in a business, or anytime you're a worker and 509 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.559 you see somebody else doing your job, if you have the proof that you're 510 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:01.159 as good, if not better than they are, and they're making almost twice 511 00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:06.239 as much as you are, or GOB's amount of money more than you are, 512 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.679 it's going to sting a little bit. And I don't know if you 513 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:16.159 can necessarily blame them. What do you want today? What are you hoping 514 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:23.199 for today? In the NFL Draft for the Detroit Lions. The hope here 515 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:28.719 is you get one of two things. This is based on need. Now 516 00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:32.280 this is based on need. So I don't know what their draft board looks 517 00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:36.599 like. I don't know where they have. You know, they don't need 518 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:44.159 Cooper Dejene. Of course, I'd love a guy like Jershon Newton from Illinois, 519 00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.480 but he won't be there. Right. If you wanted a receiver, 520 00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:52.880 Donas Mitchell would be a nice pick. He's the kid out of Texas. 521 00:38:52.159 --> 00:39:01.960 Would love something like that. I think you need something UPNT either offensively or 522 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:14.400 defensively, or you need a receiver. If the Jackson Powers Johnson kid fell 523 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.559 and he's the center. He's six y three, three hundred and thirty pounds. 524 00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:28.239 First Oregon player PAC twelve player to win the Riminton Trophy that's given annually 525 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:34.039 to the most outstanding center, really powerful run blocker. It's got great size, 526 00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:36.800 can get to the next level. This is what they say about him, 527 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:45.639 right, good pass protector. If that guy's around, I don't anticipate 528 00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:52.800 him being there, but maybe another trade is doable to trade up. I 529 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:59.480 would strongly consider that. There's a guy by the name of Chris Braswell out 530 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:02.920 of Alabama. He's a little slight at two hundred and fifty pounds, but 531 00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:08.599 he can get off the edge. Didn't start a lot. I think he 532 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:12.119 was. He was a rotational guy along their defensive line, but he had 533 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:16.480 eight and a half sacks. He had as many sacks as the defensive end 534 00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:24.079 out of Missouri who was drafted in the first round, Darius Robinson, who's 535 00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:30.320 by the way from Campton, Michigan. Those are a couple of names. 536 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:37.079 I'd love the I'd love the j Jackson Powers kid. Love that. That 537 00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:42.320 would be fantastic. I just don't think he's going to be there. And 538 00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:51.559 if you're looking for a possible wide receiver, you know I'm I'm not keen 539 00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:55.280 on the Jalen Polk is a kid out of Washington. He's six' one, 540 00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:01.039 two oh three. I don't know about that. The de tackle out 541 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:06.559 of Ohio State who was a Michael Hall. He might be there by the 542 00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:12.320 time Detroit picks in the second round. And the Zach Frasier out of West 543 00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:15.639 Virginia. Any of those names, if they happen to be there, or 544 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:17.840 if they're close to it and I had to give up a fourth or something 545 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.199 like that, I'd strongly consider it. But you want to have picks. 546 00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:27.000 Remember, Detroit feels like they're just a couple of picks away and they got 547 00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:29.000 a big part of it with Terry on Arnold.
