WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Seems like the in thing today from a national perspective.

2
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.719
<v Speaker 1>I guess they're tired of pumping up how good the

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Lions have been, how exciting they've been, how talented and

4
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 1>deep they are or have been anyway, and how Dan

5
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Campbell and his coaching staff have almost transformed what has

6
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 1>taken place in the NFL. It is more common since

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>he has jumped on board, it's more common to go

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>forward in the NFL. I would argue he affects in

9
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a trickle down way college football and high school football too,

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>from what I witnessed. I don't have the numbers to

11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>back that up. It just it's a feeling for me.

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>But it seems more and more people are getting tired

13
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>of it. More and more people feel like they know

14
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 1>the Lions better than Dan Campbell knows the Lions. And

15
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not one of those guys who feel like, well,

16
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you can never second guess the coach. You know that,

17
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 1>if you've watched and listened to the show, you know

18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>that there's been plenty of times where I disagree with

19
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>certain moments, but you have to have a reasoning behind it.

20
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You also have to understand that what Dan Campbell has

21
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>done with Detroit, and how he has made this team

22
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>believe in one another, shown the confidence in his offense

23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>when they go forward on fourth down, and shown the

24
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>confidence in his defense in various other moves that well,

25
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>you know what, it is a trickle down effect within

26
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that organization. They believe in one another. It does make

27
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>an impact for those players. It's not always successful, we

28
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>get that, but when they do go forward on fourth down,

29
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>they are more successful than just about anybody else. We've

30
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>given the numbers that more teams go for it on

31
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>fourth down than Detroit. It's a misnomer that they go

32
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>for it far too often and that they go for

33
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>it all the time, and that's just not true. But

34
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 1>they continue with that narrative because it's hard for them

35
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 1>to actually do some research and recognize, you know what,

36
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 1>I could be wrong in this sense. There are to

37
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 1>say that just about every coach is going to make

38
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 1>at some point during the game where you're going to question.

39
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, somebody on Monday called this show, or maybe

40
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>they texted the show. Yeah, they texted the show and

41
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>said I knew on the very first play it was

42
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be a problem when they went play action

43
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the very first play. Remember Buffalo won the coin flip.

44
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo deferred. Lions got the ball first before people have

45
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>even found their seat, before some people have even entered

46
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 1>the building, before they've been able to sit down and

47
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>sip their beer or eat their hot dog. Somebody said

48
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 1>the very first play of the game, I knew it

49
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>was going to be a problem because Detroit went play action.

50
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you heard a caller earlier this morning say,

51
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 1>you know what the two times they've lost, it's been

52
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 1>when they've thrown over fifty times. Yes, they threw fifty

53
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>five times against Tampa. They actually ran for one hundred

54
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and fifty yards in that game. Yes, they threw fifty

55
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>nine times against Buffalo, threw for four hundred and ninety

56
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>five yards, and Jared Goff and that offense could not

57
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 1>be stopped through the air because Buffalo is susceptible. There

58
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>are certain times where you do have to give what

59
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the defense or take what the defense gives you. Tennessee,

60
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Tennessee's really good against the pass, so you're

61
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>going to run against them. Right in this case, Buffalo

62
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 1>pretty good against the run, pretty stout against the run,

63
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 1>not very good against the pass. Rams exposed that Lions

64
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>have exposed that it's something that they probably should have done.

65
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't the issue. The issue was stopping Josh Allen

66
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>in company. But on top of all that, and we

67
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 1>talked about this yesterday, the big question mark people had

68
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>for the game was when the game was in the

69
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 1>third quarter. It was a ten point game, I'm sorry,

70
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, ten point game, twelve minutes left. Dan Campbell

71
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>goes for the on side kick. I didn't agree with it,

72
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>but I do understand his line of thinking. Doesn't mean

73
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that I would have done it. The question many people

74
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>need to ask themselves in sports moving forward, and maybe

75
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>this is the way in life. Do you understand why

76
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 1>they may have done that. I understand it. I wouldn't

77
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>have done it. That doesn't make it wrong. You can

78
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>second guess all you want. My hope is that you're

79
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 1>first guessing more than anything else. It's in television tern

80
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 1>right when you are watching a game and Troy Aikman

81
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>last night with Joe Buck or Dan Orlovsky, you know,

82
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>with Chris Fowler on the Atlanta game, are they first guessing?

83
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Are they going to see what's going to happen or

84
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>what they think should happen here or are after the

85
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 1>play is done. Why it should or should not have

86
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>happened after the play is over is second guessing before

87
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>it's first guessing. That's what you would like, So ask yourself,

88
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>are you first guessing? When the Lions get to within

89
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>ten and Jay Bates is teeing it up? Are you

90
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>saying right here, I would on sidekick or I wouldn't

91
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>on sidekick instead of after the play. The national media

92
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>last week was all over and we ridiculed that national

93
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>mantra all over Dan Campbell for going forward on fourth down.

94
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>No longer should this Lions team have to go forward

95
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 1>on fourth down. The Lions are good enough to get

96
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>past this stop with the gimmicky stuff anymore. You can

97
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>be better than this, and so on and so forth,

98
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like they know better than Dan Campbell, like they know

99
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 1>better than what should be going on. And again, I'm

100
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>not one of those guys who doesn't question coaching. You

101
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 1>can question Brian Dable all you want. With the New

102
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>York Giants, they've only got two wins, Go ahead and

103
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>do it. This team going into the game against Buffalo,

104
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 1>they're twelve and one, and you're ridiculing that this guy,

105
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't belong on the sidelines. Think about that. For

106
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 1>a second team's won twelve of its last thirteen games.

107
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 1>He's got more wins, He's got a better winning percentage,

108
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>not more wins, a better winning percentage than any coach

109
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in this franchise's history. He's in the discussion for Coach

110
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. His team is responding to him. His

111
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 1>team is not just responding to him and not the

112
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 1>energy that he provides and the postgame speeches and all

113
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that other stuff. They're responding to the way he does

114
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>things so much so that they had won eleven games

115
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>in a row, a franchise record, a franchise it's been

116
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>around a while man nineteen thirty four, So they know

117
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 1>exactly who their coach is. They respect that, they love

118
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>playing for him. Free agents want to come here. There's

119
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>not many negatives associated with Dan Campbell, unless you want

120
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 1>to nitpick and say he shouldn't have gone forward on

121
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 1>fourth down because this team was in a bad position.

122
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Even though they went they converted four or five on

123
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>four thousand and I actually won the game against Green

124
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Bay because of that fourth down call. Now, because of

125
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 1>what has taken place against Buffalo and the on side

126
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>kick you have national members of the media like Emmanuel

127
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Atcho of FS one saying things like this.

128
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>To me, it's no longer aggressive what Dan Campbell is doing.

129
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>It's just as nine. It is crazy, it is reckless,

130
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>it's disrespectful, it's not aggressive. I questioned Dan Campbell's decision

131
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 2>when he went for it, and it worked. So I'm

132
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 2>not the one that flip flops based upon the result.

133
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>You scored on offense your last two possessions. The last

134
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 2>time the Bills got the ball, they were held to.

135
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>A field goal.

136
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 2>It was a ten point game. If you hold the

137
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Bills to a field goal again, it's still just a

138
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>two possession game. Now you go get a touchdown. Now

139
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.279
<v Speaker 2>it's a one possession game. Maybe it's a seven point

140
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 2>game or six point game with eight or so minutes left.

141
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you would scored at will offensively. So to me,

142
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 2>it was just dumb because you're putting your team in

143
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>a position to lose. He's either smarter than everybody else

144
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 2>that is currently coaching, calling, and analyzing the game of football,

145
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>or he is making decisions that are dumb. And I

146
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>do not suggest that he is the smartest person walking

147
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 2>the plane.

148
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can have your opinion. There's no doubt about that.

149
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Detroit was having a hard time stopping Buffalo. Actually, Detroit's

150
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>offense was very good. I don't disregard any of that

151
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 1>because I said the same thing yesterday. I said it

152
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>in a different way, And I sure didn't say it

153
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>in the sense that it's reckless and disrespectful. How is

154
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>it disrespectful just out of curiosity? Like if you think

155
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy, okay, if you think it's reckless, I think

156
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a little much. And to say that he's not

157
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 1>the smartest person, it's interesting that you know he hasn't

158
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>said or did he say, any of these things while

159
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Detroit was reeling awf eleven wins in a row, that

160
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>he's not a good coach. Like when you go into

161
00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Houston and you overcome five interceptions by your quarterback? Does

162
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 1>that make you stupid? Does that make you reckless? Should

163
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you have not been as aggressive as they were during

164
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 1>those games? How about all the other games, Like when

165
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 1>they're down ten to nothing to Minnesota early on in

166
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a really loud environment and he keeps his team together.

167
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>You think he had to be smart to beat that team.

168
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 1>You think he had to beat green Bay twice, including

169
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>once at lambeau Field, and he wasn't smart. Suddenly he

170
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:35.279
<v Speaker 1>becomes an unintelligent person because he goes for an on

171
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 1>side kick. How is it disrespectful to either his team

172
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>or the game of football in when Dan Campbell chooses

173
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a decision like that knowing full well that his defense

174
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 1>is shorthanded and it has struggled to stop Buffalo. You

175
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>know what the biggest problem for the Lions was on Sunday.

176
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't Dan Campbell's decision making. It was stopping josh Ama,

177
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy who throw threw for two touchdowns and ran

178
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>for two more. Point I don't know if it's easily,

179
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>but he's probably gonna win it. He's probably the front runner.

180
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I said yesterday, Lamar Jackson has a better

181
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 1>completion percentage, has thrown more yards and thrown more touchdowns

182
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 1>and fewer interceptions coming off a five touchdown game. So

183
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a good debate, I mean, both of them. It's

184
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.759
<v Speaker 1>a really good argument for Jackson and or Allen. I

185
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>think they've separated themselves. But that's neither here nor there.

186
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 1>The problem is that we've got members of the national

187
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 1>medium and I've said this at nauseum. But I'm going

188
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to continue to bang this drum. We see twenty four

189
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>hour sports and people have to fill content. So what

190
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna do today? I'll tell you what I'm

191
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. I'm gonna get emotional. I'm gonna look at

192
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 1>the camera and I'm gonna be spitting mad, and I'm

193
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>going to say something that not a lot of people

194
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>have said before, even though last week some people were saying,

195
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I want to be the first one on this bandwagon.

196
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Now you're not. Okay, I'm going to start to second

197
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>guest Dan Campbell. A lot of coaches been second guests,

198
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 1>all right. Hard to believe that you're getting second guest

199
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to twelve and two. Hard to believe that you're forgetting

200
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 1>some of the other things that this guy has done

201
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>and this team has done so far this year. I

202
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't see the second guessing after an impressive road win

203
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona. Where was the second guessing when they opened

204
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>up a proverbial can on Seattle and did the same

205
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.759
<v Speaker 1>thing in Dallas, humiliating them time and time again. In fact,

206
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>mighty people at the time said, good for Dan Campbell.

207
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>He's making a statement. He's pushing it. He's still firing

208
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>on all cylinders against Dallas, making Dallas stop them. Let's

209
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 1>see what you can do about that. Where was the

210
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>second guessing when they came back from ten to nothing

211
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>down at Minnesota, or blowing out Tennessee, or winning at

212
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay, always a difficult place to win, coming back

213
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>in the second half and holding Houston scoreless and beating

214
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>the Texans time and time again. We can use examples.

215
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 1>But suddenly it's the one decision in a loss that's

216
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna suddenly make you go, you know what, this guy

217
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.440
<v Speaker 1>can't coach. You want to second guess a coach. That's fine.

218
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.799
<v Speaker 1>That happens all the time, and it should happen right.

219
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Coaches understand that when they sign their name on the

220
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>dotted line of that contract, when they take over a franchise,

221
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 1>they understand they are going to get second guests on

222
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a regular basis. I don't care if you're at the

223
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 1>collegiate level or the professional level. I don't care if

224
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it's football, basketball, hockey, whatever, okay, baseball, second guest all

225
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the time. I ask for consistency more than anything else.

226
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Don't be jumping on a proverbial bandwagon now, and thinking

227
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.320
<v Speaker 1>that Dan Campbell isn't smart. Did you think he was

228
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>smart enough to get them to twelve and four and

229
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the NFC Championship Game a year ago? Did you think

230
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they were smart enough to win eleven straight games of

231
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.799
<v Speaker 1>franchise record this year and lead not only the division

232
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:06.279
<v Speaker 1>but the NFC right now if the season ended today,

233
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Detroit's the one seat. Do you think it's a stupid

234
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>person in charge of fifty three men who are trying

235
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:18.879
<v Speaker 1>to fight for their lives every single Sunday and their

236
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>careers and they're going to follow a stupid man. Honestly,

237
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 1>you played the game. You're the idiot, You're the simpleton.

238
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>You're the one who's just looking for some type of

239
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>extra accolades. So people start playing and talking about it,

240
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.879
<v Speaker 1>and maybe we fell into that trap. But saying that

241
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>he's not the smartest guy on the planet, why because

242
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 1>he was a former tight end and because he doesn't

243
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 1>come out there with all these great sayings. Instead, it's

244
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 1>more emotion than anything else. You should know better than

245
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody else if this is the case, If you think

246
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he's not the smartest guy walking the planet, if you

247
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's smart enough to be a head coach.

248
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 1>What does that say about your league? What's it say

249
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>about the National Football League? The dumb guy can lead

250
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a team to a twelve and two record a year

251
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 1>after winning the division, making it to the NFC Championship Game,

252
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.279
<v Speaker 1>having the most expectations of reaching the Super Bowl, and

253
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>being the number one seed in the NFC through fifteen weeks.

254
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.639
<v Speaker 1>What does it say about the National Football League that

255
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.399
<v Speaker 1>a dumb guy can accomplish all that? Where is why

256
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 1>do you have to be smart?

257
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Then?

258
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Why do you have to be a smart football coach?

259
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 1>You think he just does this with players who are talented.

260
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>There's plenty of tech. Green Bay's got talent, Minnesota's got talent,

261
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Houston's got talent, and Detroit took care of business against

262
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 1>all of them under a dumb guy. According to Emmanuel Atchel,

263
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>we could use his last name in a different phrase.

264
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>If you get my point. The phone number on the

265
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Myron hot line eight six six eight three forty eight

266
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 1>forty three, listen. I don't say this as a Lions fan.

267
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.919
<v Speaker 1>It's okay to second guest coaches. It's the whole desire

268
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to go after a man's character and to call it disrespectful.

269
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>What an idiot who thinks it's disrespectful. It's disrespectful, disrespectful

270
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>to have an onside kick. I'll tell you what's disrespectful.

271
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.639
<v Speaker 1>The NFL acting like we're idiots. The NFL making it

272
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 1>one of these situations where you've got to tell the

273
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>other team that it's an onside kick, that you've taken

274
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the surprise out of the play in the first place

275
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>for crying out loud. That's the reason you're so upset.

276
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.679
<v Speaker 1>If this happens and you're not telling the other team

277
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 1>and it works, you're probably going that's a really good call.

278
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.919
<v Speaker 1>But the NFL has taken all that out. That's what's

279
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 1>disrespectful to the game of football, not Dan Campbell. Dan

280
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Campbell's decision may have lost the game, we don't know that,

281
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.639
<v Speaker 1>but it probably contributed. It happens coaches. It happens all

282
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 1>the coaches he's played for. At some point they made

283
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.519
<v Speaker 1>a decision they wish they had back. Dan Campbell doesn't

284
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>say he wished he had it back. Good for him.

285
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>He stands by his convictions and his players stand by him.

286
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>To me, that makes him a pretty smart guy, and

287
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it makes his players smart. They believe him one another.

288
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a joke that we've got ex athletes out there

289
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.279
<v Speaker 1>trying to make a name for himself because nobody knows

290
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>who this guy is, and he sits there and wants

291
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.759
<v Speaker 1>to tell everybody Dan Campbell's not very smart and he

292
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 1>disrespects the game. You disrespect this business by going off

293
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>on that type of tangent without having the right facts

294
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:28.639
<v Speaker 1>in front of you, knowing what this guy has meant

295
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to this team and the league in general.
