6
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Pro Football Talk had this. Jared Goff said it best.

7
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.600
<v Speaker 2>He said, every team gets kicked in the mouth, but

8
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the good ones respond. The only thing I might say is,

9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 2>in the Lions sense, you could implement great instead of good,

10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 2>because when all is said and done, I truly believe

11
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 2>this team is going to be great. Some of the

12
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>responses to that article were a little alarming. These three.

13
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>One said, it exposed your weakness. Answer me, this, what's

14
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>the weak of the Lions?

15
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 3>Probably the middle of the defense and maybe a little

16
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 3>bit of the pass rush now, but we'll see how

17
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 3>that ages because you've got some reinforcement there.

18
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're referencing it's Jared Goff. Really well, that's yeah,

19
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

20
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Last night it was, but I in general the weakness

21
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 3>of the Lion.

22
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>That's my point. The point is that when when somebody says, well,

23
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>it exposed your weakness. Some smartasses say it, suggesting that

24
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>after the article in Goff's comments, you think Jared Goff

25
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>is the I'm not saying you, but I'm saying this

26
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>person thinks Jared Goss the weakness a guy who was

27
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>on pace to set the NFL record for completion percentage.

28
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 2>He had a bad game, Yep, he did have. Others

29
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 2>had bad games, absolutely.

30
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 3>And I also think it's important to mention five picks

31
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 3>is never good. But shep you and I have been

32
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 3>ringing the bell for this for a while. Not every

33
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 3>pick is on the quarterback. And a couple of those

34
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 3>balls were batted up and then picked off, especially.

35
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>The one at the one at the end of the half.

36
00:01:58.760 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's a hail mix.

37
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, what are you gonna do? I mean, that's

38
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 3>nothing but a box score interception.

39
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, So you got you got a hail Mary, you

40
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>got one that was a tipped ball. I I don't

41
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 2>two of them are them on him? Number one and

42
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>number two. I'm not going to look into you know,

43
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 2>there are certain situations. Now, look in fairness, if the

44
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Lions lose that game, this is the conversation. You understand that, right,

45
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>This is the conversation. Let's not let's not pretend it

46
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't happen. Let's not pretend that everything is just fine,

47
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>even though he threw five picks, because if they don't

48
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>come back, you and I are going now, the five

49
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 2>interceptions are inexcusable. You know that, right of course, Like

50
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>we're not talking about the middle of the defense. The

51
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>middle of the defense was fine last night.

52
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 3>No, I got it. I'm just saying that if if

53
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 3>someone wants to tell me that Jared Goff is the

54
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 3>weakness of the Lions and that was exposed last night,

55
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 3>well two things. A they still overcame it and it

56
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 3>happened in to win. And B I would contend that

57
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 3>if you believe Jared Goff is the weakness of the

58
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 3>defense or the weakness of the Lions, excuse me. You're

59
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 3>simply just reading the box score. You didn't want That's

60
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 3>all you're doing.

61
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's all you're doing. Jared Goff does have the

62
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>second most interceptions in the league with nine, but so

63
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>does Patrick.

64
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Mahomes and before last night he got four, and.

65
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>So does so does Baker Mayfield. So that that surprised

66
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>me a little bit. It exposed your weakness. Another person

67
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 2>he's not good enough to lead to a team to

68
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 2>a super Bowl. Well, idiot, he already has.

69
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how can you say a guy can't do something

70
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 3>when he quite literally already has done it.

71
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thanks for living in a moment and not understanding

72
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>all that that's done. I mean, it's just it's idiocy.

73
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is what I suppose. This is what

74
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>happens a lot of times on social media, and it

75
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>sure shouldn't be. What shouldn't be one of those things

76
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>where you and I take it seriously. But it just

77
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 2>goes to show you that a lot of people do

78
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 2>not follow certain teams. All they do is they just go,

79
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm going to read a box score,

80
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>like you said, it says five picks. I'm going to

81
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>make a judgment. Now, don't take all the other things

82
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>into account. Please make sure you make sure you overlook

83
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 2>all the other things that are associated with playing the position.

84
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Like even though he wasn't good last night, he is

85
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>second in the NFL and completion percentage And by the way,

86
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the only guy beating him right now has played half

87
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>the games that Jared Goff has played. Because I think

88
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>that's really important. I do I think completion percentage is

89
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>really important. Forget about where he ranks in yards. You

90
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>know he's close to the top ten in that regard,

91
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 2>so let's you know, put it in perspective.

92
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.720
