Been a day but the one thing we wanted to do we could have mailed the show home we could have just been like you know what this is just not going to work today but we wanted to be able to come and see you guys man right we here we had to
Make this work this is wake up woodw baby you can’t wake up anywhere else let’s go just dealing with a couple software issues but hey this is our Studio B uh used to film some you know secondary comment uh content at the network but there was so much that
Happened last night around Detroit sports around Sports in general we couldn’t not we couldn’t not have our show so here we go we’re GNA go at least until 10: we may be going a little over a lot over we’ll see we got a lot to talk about we just want to start you
Know what beef stocking somebody as we get into it wait we will we will we will but we do we you know we’re we’re we’re caring people we’re gonna get to that but we got to make sure we uh we at least give our condolences man our
Thoughts and our prayers out to the the fans in uh Kansas City you know yeah I’ll be bald for this part man absolutely we we got to make sure that we uh take a moment to just uh just a moment of silence man that what happened
Out there is tragic I can’t even imagine being a community that’s on such a uh kind of a social and a community high and uh to have it kind of dampened and damaged yeah uh by the tragic events that happened there so uh we’ll definitely take a moment to just uh give
Them a moment of Sil out of respect to those uh you know affected and uh I personally pray that um those affected can be uh consoled and grieved a correct way and and ultimately recover uh from this thing all right I think it’s important for us to all recognize that like acknowledge
It recognize it maybe not bring uh attention to the the the negativity the hate the the issues but we got some big events coming up in Detroit and we need to band together as a city you know NFL draft is coming up soon and and I don’t know there’s there’s some crazy stuff
Going on in the world we’re not going to stick on this topic and get political but I think this is a time where a city like Detroit especially rallying around our Detroit sports teams it’s as important as ever for us to come together so that’s what I have to say
About it yes sir and I’m uh I’m glad to be here man I’m so I’m glad we decided to do this it’s uh it’s a situation where uh ultimately um this how Detroit does man we go to work going to work we go to work you know who started that Pistons P
Back in 2004 Pistons guys you know some guys with a toughness similar to uh beef do but the dude keeps finding his name in the news for maybe all the wrong reasons my dog beef stew man you know what oh my gosh I already knew that it
Was gonna be an uphill battle playing the Phoenix Suns and everything but beef St just took the scene to a completely different level and the Pistons almost got ran out the gym long before the game started and Phoenix Suns are saying that it was unprovoked Isaiah Stewart he
Punched Eubanks man other Phoenix Suns I have no idea what predicated this I I don’t believe believe that he would just do it unprovoked I feel like there had to have been something that happened in a prior game or something but wow and then things had escalated the first kind
Of comments that we heard from the Phoenix Suns I remember the Pistons sent out their PR email to all the media we got that we were just like wow okay so uh they’re they they this thing is real at first I was like is this real I had
To check the Shams account multiple times to see is this a real account like he really walked up and punched somebody and they said look we’re investigating everything too we’re gathering information some of the media the traveling media like my my guy Mike Curtis shout out to him they did ask um
Assar Thompson jayen Duran those guys can you speak on what happened they said they couldn’t talk about it but um ultimately this thing escalated quick when the Phoenix Suns said they were goingon to go in and start to involve law enforcement they did and just to finish out the other half of this
Breaking news with Isaiah Stewart he was ultimately arrested and charged with assault in this case that’s crazy so do we know where this happened at was this like a a hallway incident or this didn’t happen in the game correct no no it happened hours before the game sham the
Report from him said that they actually some type of altercation took place there were chest to chest there was yelling match and then uh be St just hit him in the face oh my God man so this was before the game I don’t know why I
Thought it was after or the tunnel after seems like an after incident so it must have been caused from something I I don’t know I’m not in his head but something happened between the two and past runin I don’t know yeah that’s just it just doesn’t seem like a very smart
Decision especially this is the time the Pistons have we’ve finally been talking positively about them like and talk kind of kind of there have been some good things happening it’s weird I can’t even like see you over there I know right hear head kind of big so you
Know um but but even with be D you you’ve talked about hey maybe he can Embrace this role coming off the bench is that bench you know hybrid four five type guy and now it comes to this like this isn’t what the Pistons want in the
News right now this isn’t this what they want to have to deal with they got plenty of other things to worry about it it just seems like this has just been a season of the other shoe dropping uh for the wrong reasons because on top of what
Beef stew went through and what he’s still going to be dealing with and how this affects Detroit Pistons moving forward as it relates to if they even decide hey are we retaining him going forward are we looking to trade him is he a part of this court does you
Represent our values then you got the other news with the Pistons K Cunningham talking about this kind of load management for his knee and his leg injury and talking about the fact that you know what he has good days he has bad days uh and it seems like it’s
Bothering him a little bit more than before he had the surgery he they had a way that they were managing this kind of leg you know Shin fracture that he’s had since high school he’s like I know how to play on it I’m comfortable with it I
Know how this feels already then uh the Pistons thought for the longevity of his career that it’d be better for him to go ahead and get the surgery um this kind of corrective surgery on his leg and now all of a sudden he’s dealing with um I
Think a few more pains than he’s used to so this has not been you know you talk about starting off your West Coast Road Trip where we were hoping that they could win one game they lost to Phoenix Suns dropping them to two and three on
This West Coast Road Trip which is still better than a lot of people thought they’d be but the but to be at this point um where you got be St doing he’s doing you have these K Cunningham comments and you got still the all bench lineups from mon Williams it’s a
Situation that just continues to any little glimmer of hope all of a sudden this team was just a couple Gam games away from 500 after the trade you know what their record was since the trades started they were actually doing pretty good Str together three four five six
Wins over about you know what 12 or 13 or so games and now it just seems like that little glimmer of hope that we’ve talked about earlier in the week they’re just doing everything they can to kind of uh dampen that when it rains it pours
When it rains it pors man shees so do you think this is I don’t want to say the end for be St but you think this negatively impacts him being on the team going forward with me personally I was already in a position where I thought he was
Kind of playing above his position already like I didn’t think he should be starting and you talk about all of the different trade rumors that he’s been brought up in as well yeah I I do I question sometimes is this guy the right fit and I think it makes it easier for
The Detroit Pistons to make that decision right right you know uh if they’re going to move away from him or whatnot but then there’s a lot of other people on the flip side I saw some comments before the kind of assault charges and things came out but I saw
Some comments that were like yo this is why I like beef stew yeah this is this is the type of aggress we want stand on business and whatnot and but that’s where I I that’s sometimes where I push back is like if this was in game and
Somebody was trying to boss up on them and that happened like the LeBron one yeah even if he would have got to LeBron and connect it I think everybody would have been like okay this is what happened within the game this is this is kind of that business that’s been
Handled now as more information comes out from the Detroit Pistons side maybe it is a situation where we realize no this was something that Beast too had to handle this was something that that he had to make sure it he he brings a stop to this because they’re not gonna be
Bullied they’re not gonna be punked but if it is as the early reports are saying then it’s one of those situations where it’s like well we don’t want that reputation as detroiters you know if it’s on the court if it’s within the game if it’s kind of those Unwritten
Rules that were broken and all of a sudden he’s making sure to go back and uh kind of cash that check then it’s like yeah so I do want to wait and see what else comes about from the situation I always thought he was like a heart and
Soul type player I always thought he was one of those guys that uh you know was definitely uh kind of our tough guy our M you our enforcer that’s a good word for it but um man oh man oh man it’s that’s tough man that’s a clean answer
Out of you Koolaid and this is our Detroit Pistons credential beat writer and reporter so I’m gonna pass it to kg do you have any uh any more direct thoughts about beef stew moving forward like what do you feel like his position on this team should be I I do think he
Embodies that Detroit Spirit the Detroit attitude of being tough and not letting anybody punk you and stuff like that but when it gets into levels that you’re getting law enforcement involved and stuff like that we all know the last time law enforcement got involved with
This team and that stain has has been on us for quite some time even still to this day oh yeah oh yeah so um I mean you never want really I was did you swing on our seventh grade oh yeah I was that fan in the stands throwing the beer
Oh my God lanky arms that was high velocity I was throwing a baseball from the from the upper section yeah you was at the 300s huh like oh yeah getting the call like like Mike like uh Kelvin Cambridge right right I’m saying but yeah it’s just like
You don’t want to see that because we we don’t want that kind of staying on this organization we’ve already carried that kind of a stain for a while so I don’t know but I would like to keep be stew as a as a backup option like you said he
Was kind of playing out of over his position uh essentially he’s a okay shooter but that’s not really a strong suit um he brings something defensively but you know he’s under siiz so I don’t know man I I think the Pistons maybe kind of had plans to maybe ship him out
After this season anyway so I don’t know if this helps his case but I mean yeah we’ll see we’ll see we’ll yeah especially as more details come out another team on a West Coast trip just to shoot shout him out real quick the Detroit Red Wings play tonight
Vers Vancouver Canucks it’s a late game 10 o’m this is coming off a loss an 8 to four loss to Edmonton the other night they play tonight also our Detroit Lions yesterday David Montgomery the NFL released a top 100 rushes runs uh from running backs on the season guess who was number
One David Montgomery his 75 yard run in the Chargers game the LA Chargers I believe week I remember that 10 11 that was the J Mo cleanup block wasn’t it yes yes and we’re going to be talking about J Mo a little bit more today but that
Was the one D Montgomery it was a a Jared G changed the play at the line of scrimmage there was some confusion with the play call that went in they they adjusted to a run even Montgomery apparently our our our our hardnose short yardage back he takes off for 75
Yards led the way by Jameson Williams who had a massive block at the end of that run for David Montgomery to sneak in 75 yard run number one run of the NFL season how cool is that it was cool you know what I remember about that was the
Uh kind of they were miked up and jir Gibbs had just had a big run and a touchdown and he came back to the bench to the sideline it was like you know what you having all fun you can’t be the only one having fun and then to go out
There and kind of have that play just pop off it was so so dope because generally we’re thinking about David Montgomery as that short yardage uh back you know uh that goal line back that hey give him the ball he at least get you four to five yards but what we saw him
Do behind this offensive line today he made some runs and some plays this year that I didn’t even know if he was going to be capable of doing at this stage in his career with the Detroit Lions yeah and that play hey you know what kudos to David Montgomery right he talked about
How so much of his Just Thoughts before he got here when he was a Chicago Bear when he signed here he said so much of that has just been kind of turned around he’s happy to be here he say it’s one of the best places I think he said I don’t
Want to misquote him I thought he said it’s been his kind of place to play his best fo experience um and I’m happy for him man if I was a running back running behind this offensive line would be my best football experience I can get a touchdown behind this line man right I’m
Telling you but yeah like he’s always had this ability in him even watching him from afar in Chicago the problem was they never had a real offensive line to to complement what he brings to the table man that’s why you saw a whole bunch of seven to 800 yard seasons from
Him but here he comes here gets his first thousand yard season I believe that was his first so um yeah man and it 10 touchdowns amazing man and I’m I’m glad he wants to be here a lot of the narrative has changed man but that just goes to show
You how much this organization has changed over these years man like this this is real legit change man people want to be here yeah I love what you said he’s had that ability just not the offensive line and sort of to break that down just a little bit further like he’s
Got talent he’s got athleticism but now with this Detroit Lions offensive line he’s getting two three four yards of of acceleration before he HS contact he’s always been one of the top yards after contact runners in the league now he gets speed and power to start his run
You look back on that 75 yard run he starts it’s five six seven yards right down the middle going full speed and then he cuts it outside that’s something that he just didn’t get in Chicago he was getting met in the back field just not able to really get going man the
Fact that he can do that here if I was a running I know running backs are getting their Market is changing in front of our eyes how how how teams are looking at running backs utilizing them paying them are you saying they’re coming back is the running back position making its way
Back I I don’t know I don’t know if I’m gonna go that far yet but if running backs want to find a new if a free agent running back is looking for a spot even to take a little less money you got to come to Detroit that’s what I was GNA
Say ask that question who knows if that position is coming back but we exactly know how the Detroit Lions are going to run it yeah you see how I did that I see how you Chris Brown hey in tune with culture man man in the in the in the chats he
Said uh that’s the only Monty we love uh in in Detroit oh gotta Chill on Monty Williams man at least at least give him till next year I mean he kind of walked into a [ __ ] storm for lack of better words I told people too on the wber Pistons channel is that
Look Monty Williams track record as a head coach is is one of the tops in his League yeah he came to organization that was already in flux which some people believe was already ran kind of poorly and that has not really complemented his vets I mean his young players with any
Vets and he’s a he’s a coach that generally coaches teams with vets on it though he can help to develop maybe a younger player or two my only knock against him is Killian Hayes I don’t get what the Killian Hayes Obsession was but that’s my only thing I had to say about
Monty as a Pistons coach oh who did that did G you got the right I’m like do I Got the Touch like that I don’t know how the [ __ ] that happened here wave your hands brother let’s see if it comes back to you come on back around

Caitlyn Clark who’s eight points shy of breaking the alltime NCAA scoring record nice she needs eight points to pass Kelsey Plum who has 3,527 Clark’s averaging 32 points per game this season but how about this a quick note before we move on average ticket resale price for this game as of yesterday

Seriously bring her home draft herur to the pist Michigan State we got to talk about Michigan State I know all of us are traditionally Michigan man but we have a job to do we’re dedicated to make sure we cover our Detroit sports teams as well as our college teams Michigan
State W 80 to 72 Contin to be one of those teams that whether they’re ranked or not that’s just a squad that you know come by the time you get to uh March Madness Tom yeah yeah Tom ISO is gonna have the formula and um you know what
Michigan State who knows to you guys right grudgingly grudgingly it’s almost uh time ISO month coming up we got about 15 actually it’s leap year so 16 days Yeah March I didn’t know oh you know March Madness but this is where time is this where Michigan State basketball

Hate me just just as a basketball fan I guiltily watch it and I’m just like oh my goodness Michigan basketball please get back please so I don’t have to watch Michigan State basketball for some good college hoops in state but um definitely man shout out to them Red Wings they
Take on who the take on the Canucks tonight we already ran through that yeah uh Red Wings we covered Pistons Just Around the Horn we might be talking more about this beef stew in incident as we go on but we hit Red Wings Michigan basketball Pistons Lions a little bit Lance
Newark their former senior director of personnel has now taken a job as the assistant GM with the Commanders nice at the commanders I know a lot of people were giving him slack uh you know he’s been he’s been with the Lions for 26 years uh so people were saying man like
Like more more ties to the losing teams like this guy’s nothing he’s actually really really really well respected around the NFL and in that building and I know I’m I’m not going to argue the last 26 years haven’t been all that great but this guy working under the
General manager as the senior senior director Personnel he had his hands in the IT department the football technology department he’s the one who has all the relationships running their scouting team uh all around the country to different coaches different programs uh building the relationship The Scouting relationship between the Lions
And these programs what he doesn’t have his hands in is the actual development of these players so as much as he wants a player or gets a guy to draft it still comes down to the coaching staff and the entire organization to make it all work and obviously it didn’t it’s not all
Lance new Mark’s there’s a reason that they wanted him in Washington we’ll see actually though what he and Martin Mayu can do together Martin May’s move into a different role but that’s not exactly a a connection that had a lot of success here so I I get both sides of it I’m not
Trying to defend it or or whatnot but he is a very well-respected after after 26 years you got the right to do whatever the hell you want to man he gave his time like I I don’t see why people are upset about that right just wish him well yeah moving on we good
Lance Newark have enjoy Washington they’re they’re turning themselves into a team I know we’re not going to be talking about the commanders too much but I don’t know they’re changing their whole entire Aura after Daniel Snyder five to 10 watch out for the commanders man let me look that’s the area that I
Actually lived in for five six years College my my first professional job and all that yeah in the DC area shout out to the DMV and um I’m telling you they love their their their Washington commanders obviously they had a I’m about to say the old name but um you
Know and I got a chance to kind of work with one of their um kind of super fans he’s a comedian named Chris Paul and Hy Lon that used to be on the time during the Morning Show Oh and it was cool man one of the coolest stories that I have
From that time is the Detroit Lines and the Washington commanders they were going to play this was this was some time ago maybe like 07 08 and they always made songs like you could still find this mix tapes online and I made a bet because I was a studio engineer I
Was like look man if the Lions beat your Washington Commander you got to put me on the next song and sure enough man my Lions came through it was like one of our like three or four wins on the season but you know what it was cool to
Have all my uh friends and family like yo we heard you on the time the morning show I’m like let’s go Lions let’s go Lions I love you guys especially now yeah especially now but no DC they love their team man at DMV draw good fans man
They deserved better so it’s about time that they they got that out a doubt we were gonna talk about the the tease teasing the city connect uniforms for the Tigers I don’t know if we’re set up we kind of gotta put some graphics behind it uh there there have been some
Some accounts like deep to Center posted some his mockups of what the tiger City connects uniforms should be I’m thinking we should probably wait to do that till tomorrow yeah yeah you guys want to talk about this Jared golf list or is that also something you guys think we should
Hold off until tomorrow uh just from a visual perspective you want to see this dude was ranked number 14th the number 14th rank QB been waiting to talk about this all week man I mean we can get a little bit into it um I don’t know if
You want to like name all the people in front of him uh but I I can do that yeah I can do that list pulled up here too oh yeah let Let it Fly the QB 2024 offseason QB Power Rankings key word off season 2024 offseason ranked by Derek
Classon of the 33rd team number one number one patty momes Undisputed yep number two Lamar Jackson huh I said with you yep Josh Allen number three Justin Herbert number four number five Matthew Stafford okay okay number six jerro go number six Dak Prescott number seven keep going we got
A long way to go CJ St number eight Trevor Lawrence number nine Joe Burl come on number 10 all right right all right all right okay now I’m with y’all number 10 this [ __ ] is crazy don’t say it don’t do it don’t do it it’s not Valentine’s Day anymore Jordan
Love right number 11 cool what three games played three games bro finish this I can’t do this here you go bro I got you man I’m done all right so 11 all right so 11 Kyler Murray uh of the Arizona Cardinals at number 12 we have Gino
Smith what um at number 13 we have Kirk uh do good her cousins uh of the Minnesota Vikings and at number 14 your Detroit wait wait wait wait wait wait wait J wait third in the NFC North yes how you caught that it’s ridiculous man read off up to
Up to about 20 name him because we’ll reference some of those guys that 17 18 19 so 15 Aaron Rogers uh 16 is uh Anthony Richardson uh 17 Jaylen Herz 18 Brock pie 19 Tu Tonga vioa and at number 20 uh Baker Mayfield bro bro so yeah man
So so back to NFC let’s start there he’s behind both Jordan love and Kurt Cousins in terms of NFC quarterback Rings according to Derek Classen I’m surprised they have Justin Fields above him yeah right like seriously you might as well just throw him throw about him Pete
Prisco would probably put him up there so they’re saying that that he’s the the worst or third best quarterback in the NFC North is what they’re trying to say just ahead of the guy who apparently Chicago is going to trade and they don’t believe in anymore jar Goff 14 Jordan
Love number 10 don’t get me wrong I think Jordan love has potential to be a great quarterback I he showed me something at the end of that season that Lions fans should maybe be concerned concerned that they found a another their guy Brett Favre Aon Rogers Jordan
Love but to put him ahead of Jared gof at this point in his career it’s disrespectful yeah like it’s it’s just sad Jared all I can do is shake my head bro I’m sitting here like my my brain got so many things I don’t want to say
Yeah and every time I go to try and talk and I’m just like you know what man uhuh this is crazy this is a a offseason list man and I know a lot of people because we talked about it yesterday on Big D energy a lot of people in the chat was
Bringing up you know uh physical attributes and things of that nature but we’re not going off that this is if this is basically uh if this is based off of last year and going into this new season how do you not have jarro gfin the top
10 like that’s just it doesn’t make any sense and then you have quarterbacks above him that didn’t even make the playoffs so I just think that’s absolutely egregious but right and kg Ryan’s reaction says y’all gotta realize golf is getting ranked lower because he benefits from his team instead of his
Team benefiting from gol you can say that about a lot of quarterbacks though especially ones that they put above him I have a problem with Brock pie at 19 like he was just in the Super Bowl you don’t think Gino Smith is is a product
Of his team right you don’t think um I I’m going to pull this list up this is why we probably need it need behind us let’s revisit thisor you think the Seahawks winning games because of Gino Smith no and you could argue yeah yes jar G has dudes around him and a great
Offensive line you still got to deliver the ball and do the job and lead your team to 12 wins lead your team to the NFC Championship when we look at these playoffs man when we look at these playoffs right clean football from Jared gof this was something I lot of people
Had some concerns with leading into those playoffs and we all stated if Jared gof doesn’t turn the ball over if Jared G plays clean if jarro G can deliver the ball well we were talking about all the things he had to do because we knew what everybody else on
The team was supposed to do right and there were some injuries to that offensive line they were a little bit banged up there were games where the off where the running game wasn’t there and he still had to be that guy there were whole series and drives where we knew
All right jarro GF is gonna have to turn it up and he did in some crucial moments yeah some crucial moments putting the passes on the money jarro gof to me showed a lot more in the playoffs even than he did during the regular season I thought that he showed Improvement as
That kind of playoffs as as the regular season went into the playoffs the game against the Rams the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers even the the the game against at least the first half against the 49ers yeah I thought he was he was clean
Man and we talk about the number one run of the NFL season that was a decision by Jared G to audible to a run that led to that like Jared Go’s not getting any stats or credit and and it is it’s a David David Montgomery gets all the
Credit for it but you still need the quarterback to be able to make that decision in in how to Audible and Eduardo O’Neal you have bring up a good point my friend love is more insulated than Goff when they weren’t holding his hand he was [ __ ] when he was the best
Aaron Jones was running his face off that’s when Jordan love I’m not saying he’s not a a good quarterback he’s he is and he’s going to be we still need to another year of Jordan love this is his first year as a full-time starter so that’s just me that’s just my personal
Opinion Jared G 29 years old five playoff wins Kurt Cousins 35 years old one playoff win Jordan love 25 years old one playoff win Justin Fields 24 years old zero playoff wi and Shout Out shout out to Ryan’s reaction for the uh for the Super Chat yeah appreciate it we
Definitely appreciate you on that man and and obviously we appreciate you even when it’s when when you don’t contribute because you do got you do contribute you’re one of those guys that we see in the chats all the time as a lot of you guys here man we got 200 here in the
Chat right now please hit that like button because that’s the type of support man you guys being here you guys contributing to the conversation right you guys liking the stream things like that I appreciate it as I know the crew does as well man love y’all man definitely definitely I mean that’s why
We’re doing this right now even when we don’t agree but Jared go gotta be in your top 10 I can’t respect this list at all like seriously on no level Kyler Murray was the biggest one to me I’m like how did you put Kyler Murray he he
Didn’t even play the whole season bro Gino Smith it’s it’s ridiculous man I’m putting him over cousins Gino Kyler Jordan love Trevor lawence lawr Dak Prescott I’m I’m okay even CJ stra I mean CJ Stout is really good guys we get it like he looks really good this is his
First year as a starter we need to see more jarro GF has been to two NFC championship games in a Super Bowl yes there’s there’s QBs above him that haven’t even sniffed at like I just don’t understand like where did where are you getting this from this is a 2024
Offseason list it’s not a physical attributes list yeah it’s I man I’m putting two of peran Herz up over all those people I named two yeah that’s what I don’t get and Joe bur I don’t know how to Judge Joe burrow like what healthy yeah if healthy he could be
Number two yeah if not number three but so so why is he at nine and not like like what what puts him at night maybe they’re holding injuries against him but yeah it’s just reoccurring though this is what we see uh happened to jar go all the time since he got to
Detroit and I was looking at um you know when the Lions and the Rams were going to play I went back for socials looked up the breaking news report and how they were absolutely dismissing and not just dismissing but disrespecting jarro G and the type of success they thought um he
Wasn’t going to have here in Detroit man they didn’t think anything of it they thought he was just a throw in getting banished the Detroit Lions don’t really care for him or want them they’re going to be looking for their their QB of the future and all you seen Jared G do is
Improve year after year after year he’s LED this team to more wins year after year after year he’s made the throws that people said they don’t think he can make bro do you and I was one of those guys that questioned and wondered too when he first got here how’s his arm can
He throw the Deep ball people and you hear all of the national pundit talk about he’s not that good when you’re talking about passes in the air over 10 yards he’s not that good talking about trying to get the ball downfield but he led the league in uh passes of 20 yards
Hold on hold on wait wait wait say that again he led the league this past season and and passes of 20 yards or more for all that jarro go can’t throw the Deep ball argument crowd that’s saying how how often how much more does Jared G have to prove himself before these
People actually wake up the stats are right there for you wake up you see what we did there yeah hey the stats are right there for you the perform performance is right there for you Jared G was a big part of why this team got to
Where they got to this year and you want to talk about Power Rankings when you talk about the consistency and we we’ve talked about how important this is for the Lions we see the 49ers consistency is not necessarily thing that they’re going to move forward with they went they’re changing out the defensive
Coordinator and there’s probably going to be some other changes that we know that there’s some players that they may lose that were important for them this year the lions are bringing back this kind of consistent cast you talk about the familiarity if you’re talking about a power ranking of where these guys are
Going to be headed as we get throughout the offseason well Jared G is a guy who’s going to get more weapons if you say he’s a guy that’s kind of supported by what’s around him he’s that guy that’s G to get more offensive line help if you’re talking about that he’s the
Guy that’s gonna have a jir Gibbs in the back field a year or two a guy who already was a great back already is a rookie you’re talking about a guy who now he’s proven that he can actually carry the the the quarterback load but now you’re giving him more if there’s a
Person that in terms of like a quarterback on this list that I got to put stock in to be top 10 Jared G is definitely one of those guys I’m not betting against him how many times does he have to continue to prove people wrong we got to get over this mindset
That he needs all this stuff around him in order to be successful a lot of quarterbacks need that there’s only two or three quarterbacks on this list that don’t that do not need that and one of them you just saw win the Super Bowl y when the Lions beat the Kansas City
Chiefs what were some of the things that we continued to hear why the Chiefs lost that game there was some there was a missing Travis K too oh oh okay okay asterisk they say yeah okay okay I I I think people need to factor in everything that goes into
Being a quarterback and we talk about players and and the team around him what about the coaching staff right his whole career leading up to Detroit he had a different OC and a different QB coach every single year that’s a different a different offense a different Playbook different terminology different
Everything and he still made it to the Super still made it to the playoffs he then comes to Detroit he’s now had the same QB an offensive coordinator for two straight years he’s getting better too I’m not making the case that he’s he’s a top five six or maybe even seven
Quarterback in terms of this list and if we’re talking just like athleticism and talent he he’s probably not he’s probably not top 20 but we’re being a quarterback he’s top 10 yeah I’m okay if you have him seven eight nine 10 yeah but he’s not 14 behind Jordan love and
Third NC North at all any [ __ ] and you know what another thing that should factor into any power ranking because when you’re talking about a power ranking you’re talking about what you also believe this person will be as time goes on jarro G KN on wood jarro
G as it relates to being a clean playing clean games he’s been one of those guys but does he ever get injured cousins you can almost count on it every season going in like well what week will it be when Kurt Cousins goes down like Jared G
Is a guy that has been if you want to talk about Dependable somebody that you can just pencil and say you know what I know exactly what I’m going to get from Jared G I know it’s going to be enough for us to at least get to a Super Bowl
He’s now taking two different teams and he’s one of just a handful of quarterbacks in the history of the NFL to do this two different teams to the NFC Championship Game he’s played in the Super Bowl it’s time to stop disrespecting this and listen guys if your organization is smart of course
They’re going to surround your quarterback with pieces I mean that’s just that’s that’s how it goes do that kg it’s like yeah like come on man of course you want to insulate your quarterback no matter how good they are um you put a Travis Kelce with a Patrick
Mahomes he doesn’t need a Travis Kelce to be successful but you still want to give him that I mean this it’s just we got to get over these personal biases he needs Travis Kel beat the Lions though yeah apparently but we got to get over this personal bias of what you may have
Seen from Jer gford what you think of Jared gford right big game big quarterbacks you look at his record up against some of the best in this league and he’s winning those match ups man yeah that’s Jared G Mahomes are won to against him he never lost well never
Lost never lost never lost well you know what that actually got me I think I’m awake now yeah I think I’m awake now man bro the part where we go to break it is yeah uh brought to you by no this is uh this is our show we’re just running
Right through today right we’re not we’re not taking any breaks um we out LEF we do have some amazing sponsors and we so thankful for them today in Studio B we’re just getting straight talk you’re getting straight wake up wake up Woodward talk what direction you guys
Want to go uh with this we want to St on Alliance we talked breakout there’s a speedy wide receiver we were GNA talk about maybe not not today um tomorrow yeah we we’ll get we’ll get doc on with all the software stuff just let’s just keep talking I
Don’t want to screw anything up we will have doc on if not tomorrow definitely next say out you know hey shout out to Guardian Alarm that’s 1800 stay out once again that’s 1800 stay out dope man you know what I love our chat dog they’re the best they say we need some reads
Maybe we should have got the live reads just at least read those I figure they wouldn’t want that man I I know they get tired of the commercials yeah we do too but we love our sponsors but you know I think it’s part of the game we got to
Pay the bills yeah and they don’t I think normally they don’t want us to do them when we’re kind of Off Script like this because sponsors they they invest money for a certain look and a certain feel and if we say one when there’s more people like like there’s a whole timing
Aspect to it so what if we missed one of the sponsors and read off all the other ones or just a little disorganized this I will uh respond to this um ran Ruth I know he he got the Laughing emojis but he said hooker trying to play spoiler on
Golf’s career kids getting it in with two gloves listen you know what I am excited about with um with hinden hooker yeah is that this is going to be the season you know again see him that we get to see him preseason is going to be anticipated now yeah it really is I
Don’t really want to see golf play too much in the preseason keep them healthy keep them clean a lot of that chemistry stuff I want to see them be able to get in their timing down uh during the offseason and I know that you’re going to keep us well updated on that yeah
Like the the stuff that we talked about like J Mo lock J Mo up and we’re gonna talk about him lock him up with uh not with be St but with Jared G out in California yeah that’s what I want them to do get out there get that chemistry
In and put in that work other but um I can’t wait honestly for the preseason the only thing I’m looking forward to are just what players on the cusp if we have a kick couple kickers that are in a competition and henden hooker man that
Is it that is it we should host a kicking competition we should do we want to let them know some of the stuff that we have on the horizon might as well I mean we’re I mean nothing’s set now we we we have so many ideas actually let
Let’s let’s hold it back I don’t want to give away ideas you saying we still got to execute just like the Lions on for down against the 49ers hooker he’s not someone that like we can be excited about hooker like like there’s only we see hooker
Play that’s a good I’m trying so the keys to wisdom had a common in ear hooker is like auto insurance you buy it but hope to never use it yeah that is true but it’s there’s also the reverse I think I’m confident in G just being
Consistent I I think he’s going to get better but hypothetically let’s say he just plateau know and he’s still just the great quarterback he is if we see hen hooker more if he outplays Goff and wins that competition that’s a great thing you’re getting in for three years
On a rookie contract that’s that would be incredible and that’s You could argue that may be best case scenario for the Detroit Lions organization moving forward into whatever the next step of this organization is but he’s got to beat out Jared gof he’s a great locker
Room guy uh he’s one who’s going to push that team and do something different we are are going to see him though in the preseason because if he’s not able to beat out gol or if they they move on from viewing him as maybe the next franchise quarterback and extend golf
They want to show him off to other teams they want to put tape on where he’s playing well and they can get some trade value this is what the not to channel the Matt Patricia era but the Patriots back in the day they kept drafting quarterbacks behind Tom Brady Jimmy
Garoppolo right to his displeasure he did not care for that too much right right but but they do they draft him as a possible replacement Brady got hurt or in the preseason whenever they got time those quarterbacks did some good things and earn some some big dollar bills with
Another team yeah even though they didn’t really play except for maybe Jim Jimmy Garoppolo I know Matt Castle had a few games here and there with other teams but um he’s such an intriguing player because we don’t know what the organization’s like plans for him are
Like are you are is he um the the QB of the future because when you look at this guy he aside from injury he was damn near a Heisman candidate like he’s a highlevel quarterback and to get him in the third round I I think was an
Absolute steal but we don’t know we don’t know whether they want to just save him for backup purposes whether they might end up using him as trade bait or whether he is the future of this team if they don’t want to All Out pay jarro go so it’s gonna be interesting
Man I always said that you know if golf gets off to a rough start in this uh 2024 season we know how Detroit fans are the backup quarterback yeah going to start screaming his name man and it’s going to make things more interesting but it’s it’s good that we actually have
A a what I feel to be a higher level backup Talent um to back up J Jerry go in case something happens to him um because he’s not you know he’s been injured before he doesn’t get injured often but it’s nice to have that backup option but yeah I’m just really
Intrigued to see going forward what’s the plan for henden hooker man because he’s very talented and I just I would I’m I’m intrigued man I want to see what he does in preseason his talent is the roof and Matthew Krueger makes brings up a good point says hey broa remember
Henen hooker is Brad’s draft pick at QB and he does have a connection with with henden hooker that that dates even before him becoming an NFL prospect so to think it henen hooker’s been a tricky thought for me because due to his injury I would have thought he’d best fit or
You’re getting the best value out of him if if a team hypothetically the Lions would have taken him at the end of the first round you know get that fifth year round now that he’s on a fouryear I’m glad the the value of getting the player
In the third round or what he could be is huge but now you have only three years left on him he hasn’t played at all uh hyp you know you might see Jared G for one or two more years we’ll see what the extension looks like so right
Then then at that point it’s time to pay hooker if he’s still your guy there’s just a lot of things a lot of financial things that Mike dner and Brad Holmes need to figure out yeah uh it’s running to NFL teams like making these decisions having a vision planning for the future
Especially when we’re talking about a quarterback man they have some big- time decisions coming up yeah big time decisions but you know what this is a front office that we know we can all trust yes you know even the selection of henden hooker and the potential that we
All know that he carries the knowing knowing they didn’t just trade for Jared G just to kind of oh well let’s just kind of get a fill in Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have been on record stating that we know he can make any throw that
We’ ask him to We believe he’s a winner when at his press conference Dan Campbell talked about it he said no he will contribute to winning here he will be the leader of us especially when we get to winning these are some of the things I I remember going back and
Listening to that press conference and I I was just wanted to get a feel for where the lions were with Jared G right you know what the talk was around it because you can see some of these press conferences and it’s just yeah you know Jared go but this was one where Brad
Holmes and Dan Campell and I you know employ you guys definitely go back and check out his initial press conference because it’s cool and Alliance put out a pretty cool video too that kind of showed you um what I believe to be the real I think you can say a lot of
Trumped up stuff about you know a player or about an experience but to see jarro G even and uh shout out to the great Christine Harper uh to to see them talking about Detroit to kind of see their perspectives change on Detroit as they had gotten to kind of know a little
Bit more about this city about the people about kind of who we are and how we work and how we grind and how we go to kind of see them say you know what I’m happy to be here and I want to bring a winner to these people that’s what I
Think is so awesome about the interaction between the fans and just kind of seeing jarro gfin was that his dad who was driving when all of the people were in the street after the game against the Rams he’s the king of Detroit he’s the king of Detroit did you
See their faces and that video was actually a couple weeks prior it was it was re champagne Athletics purpose if and it looked like it was after the Rams game but nonetheless the the point wow so so people during the regular season were already like J GF is our guy yes I love
The relationship between Jared G and this city right now yeah yeah I absolutely do it’s it’s funny because when he came you think and he I I thought this too he seemed like you know a California guy he’s had that Cali you know attitude he just chill he’s just
Chill but he seems like he fits more in Detroit than he does in California like is it crazy he’s quiet yeah he doesn’t really need all the he doesn’t want all the attention he plays with a chip on his should like he a little snarky now I
Like it man he got a little Edge Edge to him he’s wearing cart Hearts like you know with the cart heart on it’s a different story man but that’s why I think that comedy made to Ryan Fitzpatrick after the Green Bay Packers game know yeah postgame after a big win but
We saw that that what that snarkiness yeah that spiciness out of Jared GF that that showed me something just that one little comment did you know what it was I think it’s different when your organization and your team and the city believes in you that’s true that’s
Different did the Rams I don’t know how much they ever really believed in Jared gof beyond that first kind of run it was almost as if they knew after that first run we’re never GNA win anything because of Jar go like wait y’all just got to
The Super Bowl you know we here in Detroit would have traded that success for what we’ve had over the years now you’re here in a place where people are saying we wanted you you were not a throw in you’re at a place now where the
Fans are saying we are glad to have you here it look Detroit fans are always going to be like Terry Foster says have their eye on who’s the backup quarterback but to me Jared gof along with Matthew Stafford were two of those quarterbacks where people W not clamoring that you shouldn’t be
Clamoring for right the backup quarterback man and to have that belief to know that you have a foundation here to know that these people are going to work to put you in your best possible position because for whatever they thought Jared G couldn’t do out in LA
And I get it maybe it just doesn’t mess with their coaching style the Lions said you know what we know how to get the best out of Jared G and we’re gonna make sure that we put that around him so that he can lead these guys because it’s not
Just what these offensive players do for jarro G but it’s also the type of leader that quarterback is for them as well and Jared G is one of those guys look I know we see all the pregame stuff pan Su going crazy Aiden Hutchinson going crazy getting people hyped up but check out
The ones when it’s Jared G that cool calm kind of demeanor that that that smooth Operator never rattle you don’t see like cont in his face you don’t see him trying to think of something you don’t see him trying to figure oh how can I get the guys pumped up it’s almost
As if his voice is something that they already resonate so he can just be himself and be comfortable doing that and that’s what I’ve absolutely loved about Jared G acclimating himself and and kind of uh making himself a part of Detroit but the difference is we met
Jared G where he’s at like um his situ situation with the Rams after the Super Bowl run sha McVey didn’t feel like Jared G can can do the things that he wanted him to do so instead of trying to adjust the offense to his capabilities
He’s just like no I just need to get another quarterback in here that knows how to follow what I want follow when he comes here Ben Johnson sits him down looks at his college tape looks at his Pro tape like hey I want to cater this
Offense to what you do well and that is the difference right there he’s given jarro G more responsibility but he he’s L it beautifully um and you just can’t you can’t state that enough man like when you have belief from not only the city but your coaching staff and the
People that that put you in these positions it means everything man and and McVey kind of lost that Faith you know he gave up on the kid man but you you can’t do that with somebody that literally what it was his second third season he got you to a Super Bowl and I
And I we all know this the stats in the Super Bowl we all know what happened but that’s not a microc of what jarro go is as a whole uh he’s gotten better like we used to see jarro go melt down after a few mistakes he’s gotten so much better
At that he’s so much more resilient now I’m I’m telling you he’s changed his game a lot from LA to Detroit man and that’s why I give him so much respect hey shout out to Denver Blair he said golf will talk to panties off a none he
Got Jesus yes kg facts that’s from Brian Ruth appreciate it and so I forgot who said earlier like like why would we talk about this list and realistically it’s our responsibility as as people who cover Detroit sports as people who represent Detroit fans on the greater level because this content goes
Out there it gets out there yeah we’re going to always make sure that the narrative surrounding the people we cover is as correct as possible even if sometimes we disagree we will definitely come to some type of CounterPoint some type of place of like all right this is
The levity here exactly and with Jared G that was just a list from the 33rd team this wasn’t a list from like you know Twitter user X 5369 and we’re just like hey why did you do that this is from somebody who’s representing a a pretty
Big Outlet if I’m Brown I’m send a little from my work email from the 3013 work email hey Derek stop disrespecting my quarterback that’s my quarterback that’s my quarterback I like that man outrageous there’s a guy though I know a lot of people want to see him have a have a big
Time connection with next year who is that man my man’s weo weo this is this is big big off season we’re gonna talk about J as another possible breakout player for the Detroit Lions but really it’s all about his connection with golf we’ve seen him get more involved in the offense I have
Confidence that that Brad uh excuse me Ben Johnson is going to work him in more uh more to that offense more strategic route running not just a same stuff we saw for the majority of the season but it’s that connection with Jared go that improved just needs to continue continue
Continue improve yep and I know that a lot of people um I’ve talked to people as well about jamus Williams we’ve all kind of done these shows and such and a lot of people are are definitely happy about the Deep Field the downfield threat um that he can pose that he can
Bring and and kind of make this Lions offense even a lot more vertical than it seemed in uh underneath Jared G where I’m actually more excited or just as excited is what he can bring as uh Slants what he can do in the Run game in
The reverse ball in his hands get the ball in his hands man and I think that that I’m not looking for him to go out there and be this thousand yard receiver next season because I believe that when you have a Sam laort and you have a Amar
Brown those guys are going to eat but if he can be that kind of complimentary guy when you know am and ra and and and and uh leapor are going to get all the attention he can be that sure-handed wide receiver if he can kind of be that
Guy in space as soon as you get it to him he can make some some of those moves that we saw against the Minnesota Vikings because the Lions do they have a bevy of plays where they do throw shter sticks and Amar Ross Brown has been so
Good at still picking up first downs off of that type of stuff if we know that every single player that’s out there is going to be effective with good hands and then you throw in the fact that he can absolutely run past an entire defensive back field and Jared gof is
Shown he can get the ball downfield to Jameson Williams yeah their timing and his ability to kind of locate the boldness in the air obviously these are things that we want to know that they’re working on throughout the summer but I believe he is primed to be a breakout
Candidate especially if the same things that we saw Ben Johnson do for Jared G to say you know what this is the type of player Jared G is this the type of offense we know that we can fit him into and work around him to his benefit if
The lions are also from the coaching standpoint doing their job which I I have full faith confidence and Trust in Jameson Williams is a prime candidate to be the breakout player of the year for the Detroit Lions yeah and listen y’all he’s more than just a deep threat you
Know how we always say jir Gibbs was drafted as a weapon we need to start viewing Jameson Williams as that a weapon he can be used in multiple ways um you can line him up anywhere in the back field in the slot outside and he
Can do a lot of things for you now as the season we went on we saw more than just deep shots we saw out routes we saw Slants we saw things of that different nature and that they need to stick to that he needs to get more of those type
Of touches um my big thing was targets and maybe that was a trust thing with golf maybe that’s because you know he came in in week four and what they had was already working so they kind of had to stram J Mo along as the season went on but it’s incumbent upon this
Organization to to feature him more and those kind of routes there’s no reason why J shouldn’t be catching drags he shouldn’t be catching digs things of that nature because he’s one of those players if you his 10 yards can turn into 50 real quick real quick real quick
Man and you that that kind of speed is like that’s you can’t state that man that’s like Tyreek Hill levels of production um and I think he has that man not saying that he’s as fast or you know but he has that level of production
In him but they have to find ways to work him in this offense because I I always say if they can figure out how to unlock J in this offense it’s going to go to a whole another level and we’re already top five so just think about
That just think about that once we get that over the top threat and they start using him in in more ways than than just the Deep route oh my God this offense gonna take off it will and think about some of the games that we did win in in
Some of those games especially earlier in the season it was because of Jay Mr Williams getting downfield and catching those touchdowns imagine where you could put it all together when the because when you see Jameson Williams I think that as in the future teams are going to
Think okay Scout report make sure you got somebody spying on him when you can kind of push those safeties back just a little bit yes and you can be reliable you can say you know what uh they don’t know that it’s about to be a slant route
Think about how much more space he creates for him to be that short-handed be able to run those routes to be confident Target for Jared G across the middle of the field and you know it I think that when you look at that San Francisco 49ers game I believe that we
Lost the game there you talk about the drops from Josh Reynolds I don’t expect that type of stuff from him on a consistent basis but if we had basically elite players kind of in the middle of that field I’m and Ron S brown even had
A drop in that game he did a big one if all of our receivers are short-handed in that type of position where the San Francisco 49ers started to bring the heat a little bit more in the second half of that game it just bolds even more uh well for the Detroit Lions
Moving ahead but Jameson Williams man I think you you over here preach man yeah seriously we got to get over this and I’m I’m sick of hearing about the drops guys that was like a three to four week thing at the beginning of the Season he was he was getting acclimated but just
Because he drops passes doesn’t mean you stop passing to him um you have to keep if you drafted him at the 12th pick in the first round you have to feed this guy that’s just my whole thing what did you move up for if you weren’t going to
Use him in that way you know like he and I’m not saying take away from from any body else on this team but the more J Mo gets targeted and the more that defenses know like oh his speed we got to account for that that’s just going to open it up
More for everybody else and we already have a lethal threat in Sam leap Porter and uh Aman rain Brown the Su God man so that’s only gonna make things better for everybody else like three levels of just pass catchers sometimes at one it just and at the same time yeah I don’t know
Where you go I don’t know where you tell your linebackers to go I don’t know where you’re telling your safeties to to shade over to too like I just don’t know and you know what and I think that the more comfortable jarro G gets with Jameson Williams I do believe that it
Opens up a little bit more just a little bit more downfield for guys like lorta and Amar R st Brown too if Jared G gets more comfortable kind of getting downfield this entire offense man it’s just gonna unlock and then the underneath routes for guys like jir Gibbs yeah say you’re talking about
These three levels then you got jir Gibbs the backi literally pick your PO khif Raymond wasn’t in the playoffs like that’s a incredible weapon that’s a great that’s a great point I got you I got you but huart has said in the chat uh J MO is faster than GF is trained to
Throw they had to spend a lot more time together for Goff to make using J speed in automatic Behavior spot on that’s why they need to spend all day long every day this this offseason working together and and word out of out of camp or word
Out of the team khif Raymond uh and I believe this was in it’s either in a Dave brette article or doc aaroon on All lons Sports Illustrated uh Lions publication khif Raymond was talking about how much work he’s already seen J put in there was even a quote and I have
This I have this from Tim Twyman talks about this isn’t the San Francisco 49ers game the out route that Alan R st Brown caught a big third down conversion for us J is on the outside running a clear route and you have to take your man with
You or else St Brown gets cleaned out and we don’t convert this is from veteran wide khif Raymond set of a key third and six down conversion uh of St Brown late in the first half along the right sideline he came back to the sideline and I was like dude it’s a
Little thing but like the way you ran that route he had to respect you and because he respected you st Brown got open something like that is huge the 49ers something like that is huge but also watching him blocking film he fit into this group Jal don’t get enough
Credit for that NFC Championship game that was his best game of the year I think it was a combination of what we had wanted all year like seriously and just think about if he caught that deep ball that that they threw the third quarter if he catches that we might be
Looking at a whole different ball game Lions might be in the Super Bowl y’all yep and that’s when we’re when we’re talking about breakout that’s some of the stuff that I’m definitely hoping over the summer he and Jared G they get the timing down they get the confidence
Down they get the Rhythm down I’m looking forward to it man he’s definitely a prime candidate to be the breakout player of the year for the Detroit Lions and and it’s cool that we have a lot of these different players who did contribute this year and we
Talked about it with um with Jack Campbell yesterday who was our the player that we profiled for a breakout candidate these guys have so much more development ahead of them but they’ve already contributed in big ways for the Detroit Lions all it’s like if these guys actually take the requisite steps
Forward just marginal just improve on a few things here the Detroit Lions are that much better next season yeah that much better next season it’s scary man it’s scary you’re right and that that one play um it was over the shoulder it looked like he couldn’t he didn’t know
Which way was uh going to drop over the shoulder it was overthrown he’s got to work on his ball tracking yeah that is one thing he has to work on yeah you see him get turned around a couple times the Tampa Bay buccan touchdown he had yeah he turned
Around like twice looking for that ball it was a great catch it was an underthrown ball uh he he he’s got to be better at tracking the ball yeah yeah I agree with that one I agree with tracking Dan wood ball tracking right now though so we’ we’ve profiled two
People uh Jack Campbell Jameson Williams who do you think is more likely to be the breakout Player of the Year that’s a tricky qu like that’s a tricky question it it can I say both because there two sides of the ball true you know what I want to hear that yeah
No seriously J Mo on the offensive end I I think Ben Johnson knows he has to incorporate J mo more so I do expect to see a lot more J Mo barring you know anything unforeseen we should see a lot more J Mo in 2024 but Jack Campbell man
From the defensive position he’s absolutely going to need to step up because like I said he is your linebacker of the future when Alex anzalone moves on Jack Campbell’s gonna be here um and he has to take steps forward now I think he has one part of
The game down already um his run skills or playing the run is already pretty damn good um for for a rookie second-year Talent um he’s just got to get better at reading coverage as play recognition and things of that nature and he he’ll be a wellow machine man but
He’s already a great tackler as well I expect his tackle numbers to go up so I don’t see why they it can’t be both of those guys really yeah it can be and you know what uh where is it at where is it at where is it at hey shout out to the
Keys to wisdom he said Jack already broke out as the number two tackler on the team true that’s what I think his his ceiling well I gotta make sure I phrase this right like I want to see Jack Campbell and I already know these statistics I want to see he had 89
Tackles last season I want to see him at 110 plus like that’s an easy thing yeah for for me to try to predict or to need out of Jack Campbell next year and that might even be unders shooting it but J Mo’s tricky because his breakout might
Look a little bit different I don’t think he’s gonna be you know a 1400 yard receiver 100 reception receiver but it’s how does he make 50 60 70 receptions uh how does that impact winning how do they use I’m on ran Browns Sam lto they’re going to get their target share I don’t
See Ben Johnson going away from feeding them the ball I think we’re going to see more jir Gibbs in the pass game so so there’s only so much ball to be caught so it’s how they use J Mo how much impact he has on winning I think can
Still be massive at 50 60 70 catches I wouldn’t want to predict I he’s a tricky one to draft in fantasy like like that seriously you have no idea what you’re gonna get but in terms of this team he can impact winning so exponentially important yeah and that’s where my next
Question was going to go it’s like uh I think it’s a little bit easier to kind of put out hey what’s the season prediction what represents a breakout for Jack Campbell especially with the role he plays as a guy trending towards like you said yesterday being the man
Amongst the linebackers but when you talk about this passing game and how diverse it is and how many people contribute um it’s a little bit hard to track uh what Jameson Williams what a breakout season will look like but if it’s not stats and if you think you have
Some stats definitely let me know what you think a breakout season looks like for James will but U for me you know if you’re looking at what 6 or 700 yards through the air uh maybe a couple it’s 150 yards on the ground is that is that overzealous for Jameson
Williams 15 yard on through 18 games I don’t think so no that that’s a great Point like you get him on a reverse or or a 17 some I mean he can break he can he can turn a 20 yard in the 60 like I don’t think 150 yard I want to think
About it more before I give you my number but I don’t think that’s outrageous not at all the bar is low let’s just say that because and it’s not no this is not a shot but just going off his stats man he got 395 yards on 25
Receptions W if he is your number two in theory receiver um this number should absolutely go up I if anything less than than 700 yards to 800 yards is a disappointment I would say would you agree is too much without taking too much away from leapa and the other
Weapons that we have that’s too much man I think when you look at you extrapolate that over what the games he was able to play and as he got more uh kind of acclimated in this offense as the season went on yeah I think that’s good do you
Have his running his rushing numbers too uh I can try and find them oh I got him somewhere I got you okay I got you we’re talking J right uh he had in the regular season three rushes 29 yards and one touchdown postseason one Rush 42 yards
And a touchdown yeah know I don’t think 150 is gonna be too overzealous if they if they scheme him up right yeah exactly I definitely believe that that is a a 700 through the air maybe a 100 if it being modest on the ground a couple touchdowns as well because he’s a guy
That you you you you include him you’re at the 40 yard line on your 40 uh driving the score you include him to try and pick up a big first down or to be able to get the field goal range but he’s one of those guys that can turn
That type of run as we saw into a touchdown any play he has can be a touchdown that’s how lethal he is any single play can go to the house any play Man any play H that honestly is is a another big reason why he’s definitely a
Prime candidate to be a breakout uh player of the year yeah uh with the with the targets going up yeah I am just really really curious to see because I know a lot of times 42 Targets in 2023 42 targets yeah how many targets you want to see him get uh next season
It definitely has to be more uh I would say 70 up there in the 70 range yeah if it is I do believe we see him get to that 700 what let me look up a mind rise targets because I just want like a comparison to somebody that gets the
Ball Sam leor he what he led uh did he lead in targets I think it would have been am ra yeah it’s probably am ra yeah well I mean from the tight end position uh because Amar Ra was up there with the wide receiver Sam leor he was definitely
Up there with the tight ends right oh yeah yeah oh in terms of cross yes definitely my God so amarra St Brown 164 Targets in 2023 J Mo has 42 and I think the season before that he had like five what about can you look up Josh Reynolds
Yeah because I think that that would be a good Benchmark as well if we’re talking about J Mo kind of going up and step it’s probably it’s not gonna take from Sam leor and Amar RA in my opinion yeah they’re gonna Target them regardless you have to you got to let
Them eat you gotta let the big dogs eat said who Josh yeah yep yeah you gotta let the big dogs eat and um allow those guys to kind of continue to be what the defenses think about because I think that also opens up what uh the effectiveness that Jameson Williams is
Able to bring as a kind of that surprise attack man you line them up out wide you can put him in motion you could send him into a slant I I how about that play the touchdown to win the Super Bowl to mikole Hardman just a little quick
Little uh inside like quick just just find that’s easy get the ball to me get the ball in his hands near the line of scrimmage and let his athleticism shine yeah 64 targets for Josh Reynolds in 2023 so like I said once again J Mo had
42 and five the season before and we know that was he only played like five or six games yeah and Josh rynolds it wasn’t even like he had the benefit of too many downfield targets something that I do believe that Josh W uh that Jameson Williams is gonna have the
Benefit of being able to get chunk plays Chunk yards uh more position receiver Point Blank though like targets have to go up like 42 for your number two receiver especially now that’s that’s kind of egregious well what’s going to be interesting and how how the NBA how
How basketball a lot of sports are kind of going we’ll call it position list like we’re throwing around number one number two number three wide receivers Gan R is definitely our best wide receiver he’s not what you would think of a traditional number one yeah uh and
J we want him to be the number two receiver but he’s going to play so many different types of roles like I think this team is just so unique it’s so different it’s hard to predict what what Ben Johnson is gonna do yeah hey you
Know what shout out to Randy SMY he said he’s a new guy here I did see we got a new member that joined and just just for people who are joining now and for the new people out there this obviously is not the normal setup but we we there was
Some technical difficulties today hopefully they get it figured out for the other shows uh but we love our chat it’s still the best chat and help us guys it’s still the best chat here at the network in terms of likes our show has been the most likes so please we
Definitely ask you guys to definitely go and hit that like button to support the crew uh but we wanted to be able to still do this for you all we were faced with either no stream today or find a way to make it work and uh that’s what
We’re going to do we we wanted to find a way to make it work so Randy I definitely thank you for being here but out Randy new guy here what do you think of us using hinden hooker in the wild cat package in the Red Zone oh I I
Wouldn’t hate it and I trust Johnson to to make that play to scheme it up yeah I mean that’s the thing about henen hooker you can use him in so many different ways as long as you’re confident that he’s that he’s healthy which I assume they are they they talk so highly about
Their medical staff yeah yeah you you need a playmaker like that out on the field Hender hooker’s not a burner but he can move he has speed he has agility uh he can definitely break outside the pocket and I think that’s what a lot of fans like they break out yeah he might
Be he might be that may be someone we throw on the list I know that’s what a lot of fans like about him is his mobility and we have we have not really had a mobile quarterback in a lions uniform ever really um Mike McMahon I guess Jeff Garcia Dante Co pepper wasn’t
Mo mobile like that so John K was John ker was the wrong type of mobile he would be and get messed up oh my God but yeah man so I I he brings that element so yeah it’s it’s intriguing man it’s definitely intriguing who do you guys in
The chat who do you guys want to see next as our breakout and and I’m just gonna shout out wol Aon Sports Talk that’s coach Mike Jones We’ve been chat on YouTube a little bit and Twitter um he he talks a lot about bradrick Martin
As another one of those guys and it to me it depends on the direction they go in the draft for free agency but we’re kind of forgetting about bradick Martin as maybe not that player next like like that every down type player but he’s a one technique nose tackle type guy uh
Who who could be filling a whole on this team without having to pay somebody intended true I have concerns about him because I feel like the the coaching staff I don’t want to say gave up on him during the season but I felt like we should have seen a little bit more of
Him during the season but we didn’t um I know he was a big body they drafted him because of how big he was and how raw of a talent he is but I I think I have concerns about his footwork I think that’s the main reason why we didn’t see
A lot of him is maybe his footwork isn’t that good um his hands too his Pad levels too high lot of the stuff they’re they’ve been working on with him I know he was drafted as a project man so that’s the caveat but I just I don’t
Know man I’m a little concerned because if if he’s big but can’t move or can’t really you know get that push then I don’t know how he’ll really fit going forward Ed Eduardo O’Neil said that’s what she said big pause big pause no but also what wolon sports St has been talking
About don’t underestimate an off season of NFL strength and conditioning another offseason with now a new defensive line coach on top of John Scott Jr is still there but now they have uh Terrell Williams yeah who who has developed some dudes yeah and he’s a really powerful
Voice in that locker room so yeah so we’ll see oh no I was saying that was a good transition into the uh the Jeffrey Simmons stuff oh yeah I was gonna talk about the coaching as well how big a confidence boost it is for this Detroit Lions team especially the young guys
Especially the guys who’ve been in the league like David Montgomery who seen these Detroit Lines from afar and there were there weren’t too many coaches and and complete coaching stats where you can believe in the rhetoric they’re saying they’re all going to come in and say we’re gonna win we’re gonna this
We’re gonna that this team this Dan Campbell these assistant coaches these positional coaches how much more does their messages now ring true when they tell them this off season I need more out of you I need you guys to hit this rep a little bit uh harder I need you
Guys to go out there and get this done a little bit faster I need you guys has to go out here how much more does it ring true you’re acclimating now your new draft picks your new free agencies a free agent uh uh signings into this culture yeah not one that’s trying to
Get back to winning not one that’s trying to get to some type of a foundational perch one that already has it set tangible success is there now um we were on the doorstep of of something great um so absolutely that’s that’s only going to help fuel this this organization going forward and the
Players that’s coming into it a lot more respect for this coaching staff knowing that okay these guys know what they’re talking about Dan kle he may seem a little off the rails at times but there’s a method to the madness this guy knows what he’s doing um them making the
NFC championship game was absolutely huge from a lot of different standpoints but in terms of like bringing people into your culture and player acquisition that’s only going to help it man because people they see what you’ve done now they know that okay this is for real and
They want help contribute to that and be a part of that and you know maybe be a part of History yeah right before the playoffs I was talking to uh CJ GJ and kindall vildor the cornerback in the locker room and and they were telling me just how how competitive their practices
Have been leading up to this point yeah uh- which is not something you see often in week 17 week 18 leading into the playoffs how hard they were hitting how competitive they were they were doing things in practice and they said they they trust Dan Campbell and they Trust
Dre BL they trust Aaron Glenn they trust these coaches because they’ve been they’ve done this before so the plan that they had laid out at the beginning of the season if they say all right we’re gonna pull back early on so we can have you ready in week 18 in the
Playoffs like like that trust allows you to practice so much harder allows you to generate that attitude that grit that competitive spirit that you need going into a a first ever playoff win at forward field like those things really matter even I’m wrestling Brown he talks about Antoine Randell as being a guy
Who’s thrown a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl like like this staff is incredible we could spend a whole show talking about this coaching staff maybe we will one day but they got players across the board former players across the board that mix well with guys like Ben Johnson
Who have that Innovative mind and I I’ll say it I’ll say it again Ben Johnson is coming back to learn leadership he’s to learn under Dan Campbell he’s got the brain and he’s he’ll always get better there he’ll continue to strive but the one thing he lacks even as a former
Quarterback he played in college uh and I don’t think he played in the NFL but he’s got to just learn those extra little things that Dan Campbell has commanded that’s gonna make him so much better of a head coach when he takes that opportunity and you know I got a
Shout out man the chat has been awesome are you guys are helping us getting that much closer to 100 likes definitely if you have the opportunity to definitely go and hit that like button have us continue our streak as a show as being the most show on the network and the

To include you guys in on the type of Brotherhood we have yeah um the type of family we have and the way these guys support me here and ways we support each other and honestly um you know my family man they support a ton I love my kids
Love my wife love my family and uh it’s it through change through some up and downs through some um kind of situations that have kind of thrown us to a loop um both my family at home and my family at Woodward have kept things very grounded
And honestly um fun I can say that for real Brian Ruth has five boys five boys five boys that’s a big family that’s a starting lineup bro Jesus that’s that’s a bring them home hey let’s rock that’s a defensive line right there yeah that’s scary man that’s five kids are scar how
About this question this question from the away fan not the excuse me shout out to the away fan from that guy up north and this is actually from earlier but here’s another conversation many won’t want to be real about are you paying Aman R st Brown are you drafting signing his replacement you
Pay that man blank check like are we age I’m paying that man you pay him man you think of he’s been the hardest worker uh in this organization since they started this this restore you know um I man the guy he just comes in he works every day
And he’s just only gotten better and better and better and better I don’t know how you don’t just pay this man like seriously yeah he’s probably the first on my docket to get paid to be being real pay him now before it gets too expensive I’m trying to tell you
Like before Justin Jefferson goes and tries to get 50 million give give them man he’s a fourth rounder can we shut down the narrative I don’t think he’s a hold out guy because I know I’ve been seeing that a lot lately like will Aman Rob hold out if he doesn’t get the
Contract that he only if the NFL keeps finding him yeah yeah want say I doubt it and he is he isn’t that guy but at the same time do what you got to do to get your M like he feels that way but the Lions they’ve shown me that they’re
Loyal to their guys especially the ones that come in and put noes to the grindstone every day and and and work man so I expect him to be first up on the round of of resigns oh yeah in the chat is saying pay that man Mark Walston Denver Blair blank
Blank Mr Jiggles facts pay the sun god Mark Walston he is Detroit Brian Ruth I’m paying saying is that even really a question I think it’s it’s not necessarily um a question that’s difficult to answer but I think it’s one to be able to ask and us to be able to
Honestly pay our homage to what Aman Ross St Brown has meant to Detroit when I hear questions like that just like when we brought up the list earlier about Jared G it gives us an opportunity to really really really talk our talk about guys who we know make Detroit not
Just our sports team but Detroit a better place those are two guys that I’m happy to have representing Detroit yes though I’m in Rod jarro gin a lot of these guys P pan Su these are these are guys that I am happy to have represent in Detroit and any chance we can get
Whether provoked or unprovoked to be able to talk about them in a positive manner we definitely will do that yeah definitely will man pay that man pay Ardo O’Neal mailbag what do all these teams have in common San Francisco 49ers Philadelphia Eagles Kansas City Chiefs hint has something to do with the lions
In the last three years I don’t have that I’ve been thinking about it while you guys were talking we haven’t beaten all of and I want to think I want to think about it before we’re all uh before it gets dead silent in here and we lose everybody
We’ll think about it Matthew Krueger I throw this in there as well while we’re thinking about he said I’d like to see Woodward at Major festivals around Michigan like cheeseburger and Vass lville come up boys get some burgers and Bruce please our crew isible we’re going to be out in I’m
Hungry right I’m hungry Matthew Krueger also said broer under over Jason Foley 40 saves for the Tigers I’m gonna go under not because I don’t think he’s gonna be nasty yeah that’s that’s a lot of nasty but I think he’s gonna split some time with Alex Lang uh and I don’t
Know if I’m thinking they’re going to be around 81 82 83 wins 40 saves is a hell of a year he’s got the talent for one player that’s a hell of a year yeah I just don’t think this is the year he’s he’s maybe the closer from start to
Finish yeah um we’ll see so I’m gonna go under you got an opinion kg I’m going under too this is baseball by the way it’s not just me on this cast I I know a little something something man I keep up with the Tigers fun fact I was a vendor
At coer Park during their 2012 run so I got to see I got to see the World Series I got to see the the ALCS Championship win oh my God it was amazing nothing like it man nothing like it is that mago’s walk 2012 2012 is that mago’s
Walk off that’s 06 oh yeah that’s way yeah yeah and that was magic that was magic too man that 2012 I don’t understand why they didn’t win the World Series that well I do understand it was that damn six day rest they always ran into that little rest period
And it just always threw him off because in the 06 series they had uh the rest period And it yeah it did them in it really did and B they affects baseball players a lot the Rhythm scen pitches yeah man you can’t simulate that they
Were by far the best team leading up to that that 2012 year was crazy you had mags you had Prince Fielder um man who else they had oh my God yeah you did have JV and sherzer on the same team Doug Fister Doug Fister Doug Doug Fister matter oh

Not I gotta keep coming back because it was beautiful man W up now it’s a tradition that me and my family do every year for my birthday first week in August we try and get up to menol uh we visit Traver City we visit charoy I love
Charoy absolutely love it the bay that’s out there it’s beautiful we got take a trip bro yeah I’m with it we got I heard the chocolate there is good or the fudge the ice cream by the way Ed O’Neal he he gave the answer don’t look at your
Guys phones oh okay what Philly the 49ers and Kansas City have all in common and I’m gonna give it to you because I don’t think in the past three years in the past three years so San Francisco 2021 NFC title game loss Philly 2022 NFC title game and Super Bowl loss Kansas
City 2023 AFC title game Super Bowl win all three teams the Lions have opened up with have made it to at least the title game damn wild Eduardo that is wild that’s facts wow Woodward is Todd Jones the best closer in Tigers history oh my gosh Matthew Krueger maybe my my personal favorite
Was Jose Val Verde though that was my guy he he may not be the best but he had a lot of saves and man that entrance was just amazing man he one do a little knee slap oh my God Jose valde was the man crazy crazy man there have been some
Good relievers maybe not with the Tigers but like krod Francisco Rodriguez Joe Nathan um I’m gonna take those guys out of the category Big Potato Tod Jones was the original one I remember watching with my dad this my my dad anytime he Todd Jones is a bum like like that’s he
Was the original like coming in you never know what you’re GNA get get out of him he might four guys he might strike out three guys you look back on it his stats were W like he was a very successful closer for a long period of
Time yeah I I don’t know what who who the best closers were you know before the stuff yeah Todd Jones has got to be up there I think he is yeah I think he is I like that he’s on he’s one of the analysts they they have six or seven
Analysts B Sports does that were former Tigers players there’s something cool about that shout out Craig Mir I’m a big fan of Craig man like him as a player and as a commentator man yes y there we go Mason Lee BR G have to come up to
Franken for beer fest I love frank AI you know heavy weights damn sure will we jumped on the chicken thing quick both of us like y that chicken hey man love some fried chicken yeah man franking move well we talking about the Tigers man Brer yo down the Southpaw is
Detroit Tigers Tariq scoble aai Young young candidate yes yes and I think we should say this full this full segment for for tomorrow with the board and everything but he is Terry sco is definitely that guy he pitched in was it after he came back from injury it was
About 80 Innings 80 in a third Innings or something and shoved like and when I say shoved baseball terminology for just he dealt he he was almost a dominant a dominant pitcher when you look at how how he progressed in the the I forget how many innings he
Pitched in September but he had one of the best he actually was the second best months as a starting pitcher in Tigers history his September I think he was 4-0 I have this stat somewhere oh here we go Al pitch of the month 4 and0 allowed three runs and five starts with a
43- four K oh so he struck out 43 hitters only four walks he’s the second best pitching month in Tigers history yeah so scoble what did this injury did so I’ll just keep it simple for today and we’ll get we’ll get into the nitty-gritty tomorrow what this injury
Did it allowed him to tweak his mechanics to better get the most out of his arm and by by doing that it means he’s using his body more he’s using his legs more he’s figuring out how to use uh to tweak his mechanics to generate more power with his arm but without
Putting as much stress on his arm right his velocity jumped up he was averaging over 95 miles per hour on his fast ball in September which is up 2 or three miles per hour from where he was before he got hurt so he got hurt in his velocity increas going up and that’s
That’s crazy right 63 240 pounds like like this is a guy who has all the he’s got the makeup and he’s a lefty he’s a southpaw he has a makeup to be great now it’s this next step now that he’s healthy it’s staying healthy developing his array of pitches his change up was
Nasty yeah nasty last year developing that third four fifth pitches that’s how he really takes the next step and to to go we’ll have a deeper sa young conversation but sa young is a lot of the the decision making is going to revolve around how many wins so we’ll
See how much run support he gets I don’t know if this Tigers team is ready to support a a pitcher going in through a sa young race but Terry scrubble has all the talent he could certainly be there this year kg what you thinking I think
The exact same thing I I like the stuff he has um last year it’s just really Health like you said and um getting that run support is going to be crucial cuz we have a lot of young bats and they are learning how to be more consistent now
We what we saw towards the end of the year last year was definitely like a a wake up you know um and and I like what we see from from these guys like in the lineup but yeah man if he can get that run support I I think the sky is the
Limit and then you look at we have a a mean rotation I like the additions that they made Jack flarity uh Kent MAA um man they’ve only added to what was already a good uh pitching uh starting lineup man nice young a good young pitch
Now it’s deep and we we just need the relief pitching with it now if we can get the relief pitching with that I mean there’s no telling where this where this uh lion I’m Tigers uh you know line buying stock man I’m buying stock in the Detroit Tigers and you know what’s cool
Is just just just seeing you talk Detroit Tigers man and just seeing your face kind of light up no it’s it’s awesome man because I think this is the type of passion that necessary and needed for Detroit sports I always wanted our media to be able to match our
Passion that’s what I always wanted to do and it’s like you know these are people who’ve been at the playoff runs of the Pistons been in the stands and in the building for the Detroit Tigers runs these are people who have supported the Lions these are people who have
Continued and continued continued to just support whether it was uh Good Seasons or bad Seasons these are the type of people that I want to hear from when we’re talking about our Detroit teams and and the Red Wings as well like the people who have just kind of stayed
Hooked they don’t kind of waiver based on where the team is going I don’t want to hear from somebody who you know what shout out to those people who hold these positions and maybe they weren’t in the trenches maybe they’re new to this scene maybe they come with a different
Approach and I believe that there’s a place for those types of media people definitely but to know that no this is a passion of yours not just baseball but the Detroit Tigers that’s who I want to hear talking about the Detroit Tigers and there’s a whole another side to
Sports and and being on a team getting ready for a season in any sport that that it takes some unique perspectives to realize it’s not just the the the stat or the the end result on the field or the court or whatever it’s all the stuff that happens in a locker room and
And and I’m not saying there’s a balance where you need both like that’s why I love working with Sam flannel because we have so many like like we have very similar opinions but we look at it in a different way and there are there are ways to supplement each side in terms of
The the intangibles and the stats and that’s why I’m excited to work with someone like that and and that’s why you need both sides to everything you do yeah you do your faces lighting off hey shout out to Dante 151 man any type of support is always great and uh the Super
Chat man thank you so much for that he said I actually got to meet Craig Moro when B sports did the Traverse City Central versus Traverse City West football game he’s a really nice guy and ask how it was with Verlander and Clubhouse and there was no love lost and
You know what I got to meet him as well when Woodward just started getting going we were broadcasting live from the tin roof and it was pretty cool uh day uh Tigers were just getting going it was opening day and he actually stopped by said what up took pictures with us I’m
Just like yo thanks for supporting us and supporting Woodward it was awesome you talking about a good guy man Dante I think that everybody who’s met him yeah um they have that same experience man I can’t remember if Craig Monroe was on my one of my favorite interations of the
Tigers even though they suck right you remember when they had um Gary Sheffield and Johny Dam a lot of Swag he wears pants like almost over his entire shoe yeah those are the days that was one of my favorite interations of the Tigers uh Kenny Rogers we had crazy
Kenny The Gambler oh my God man y’all remember uh you guys remember we gota we have to REM reminisce a little bit more too when uh Carlos G uh did the star down of Weaver oh yeah and Skip down the bases man I love we didn’t do nothing but those
Were some years man those were some entertain Pudge Rodriguez yeah Pudge man shout out Pudge man who said that the real K Collins yeah that changed I’m mad I ain’t get a chance to meet him he came uh by channel seven one day um he yeah
He did an interview I think with Brad gy at the time they were doing the sports cave uh still now he came in man and just he has a presence about him man and I I was so mad I didn’t get a chance to speak to him but yeah great guy I heard
Bobby higginson Bobby Bobby higginson Mark Walston and Matthew kruer say higginson was a dog I used to love Bobby I loved his just attitude I loved his Persona too yeah it was that it was he’s not a good guy off the field bad dude I believe that is Ken
Griffy junr Major League Baseball Andor slugfest the best baseball video games ever made yes that’s I’m a big fan of the show though yeah I was about show man gotta go back to N64 days yeah yeah Ken griffy is the man shout out Ken griffy tigers are right around the
Corner yeah it’s crazy that guy up north how about this I wonder if you guys have an opinion I know it’s kind of directed towards me but is there any Truth uh or truth to that sorry the that guy of North is there any truth to the talk that players are electing for
Preventative Tommy John surgery nowadays to get it done with absolutely because it it’s it’s a surgery that one it’s not a career killer like it kind of used to be um it’s it’s almost mandatory at this point for most young pitchers to to go through Tommy John surgery because you
Get it out the way and then you repair your mechanics and get them back to what they were it’s easier surgery to get past now yeah I I yeah they are opting more to just getting it over with now what do you uh I think it it it’s more
At least now more at the the Youth Level like where it’s it’s it’s more the crazy parents willing to get it out of the way early which I which I disagree with like it shouldn’t be that way you can’t do that to your kid but there’s no one in the
College or professional ranks that will have um no player that will P that will no player will pursue elective Tommy John surgery even with the success rate it’s it’s improving medical uh the medical world is improving yeah there’s still a chance it it doesn’t work there’s actually a very
High percentage of chance that you don’t come back and be the same we just hear about the guys who do come back so it’s a minimum you know eight to 12 months surgery so you’re taking a full year off surgery sucks I had a lab surgery you
Never want to go through it yeah um isn’t it crazy that like you know starting pitchers aren’t going as long as they used to but we’re seeing more and more Tommy John surgeries I feel like yeah y because the the the focus is on it’s on velocity and spin rate and
And bringing guys in cold out of the bullpen to throw you know 15 pitches as hard as they can instead of you know 100 pitches getting warmed up over the course of the over the course of the game uh they’re gonna be we’re GNA keep seeing pitchers injuries as as right as
These athletes develop it’s not even yeah it’s not even their fault they’re just they’re so talented arms just don’t they they don’t take they can’t take it you gota say what up to the people man they’re asking about oh Sam fln is in the studio down right right there what up though
Oh man pivot are you guys work is everything working in the main Studio okay to be determined right we’re gonna run up uh up to your show but we’ll shut off before love hey the keys to wisdom said Curtis granders was awesome too good to see you brother oh Curtis Granderson was
One of my favorite Tigers man Curtis Granderson Tory Hunter Tory Hunter I got a ball thrown to me by Tory Hunter man I ended up gifting it to a friend of mine for like a wedding present but that was dope that was the first time I ever got
A ball thrown to me by a player but yeah Tory Hunter was the man yes Dan W too many travel team Warrior coaches teaching dumb thumb up pitches to too young and no offseason facts facts we weren’t we were when I was growing up it was almost as if we weren’t allowed to
Throw a curveball until we were like 16 really like once the data started coming out I was like I didn’t throw a curveball until High School Dam and and at that point it was a knuckle curve and I was fiddling with that but no you got
To learn how to Young pitchers learn how to throw strikes start there just throw strikes yeah honestly there the majority of high school pitchers can’t even throw strikes if you can throw strikes you will play it’s big facts yeah man look I played with a guy his name was John
Cryder and shout out to his dad Paul cder who’s our coach at uh ramula Summit Academy it was actually my first year playing baseball they were like hey man you’re fast I couldn’t hit a lick to start the season but I’m tell no they coached me up wound up like you guys
Have heard the story led the league in uh steal oh yeah course got second team League off that I wonder why that is now I wonder why I might have been one of the few melanated or the only melanated people on the team but um I saw this guy
Go out there and throw a perfect game where he struck out everybody it was crazy because the team we were playing it was one of the teams that generally when you play them these guys are getting hits they’re getting hits like and he was in an absolute Zone and
Generally they would limit your pitch count like yeah but his dad is a coach and his dad was like he’s dealing right now he’s dealing right now let go it was one of the craziest things I ever saw live like outside of the pro game we go
To the game this guy was absolutely dealing man do we do have no hitters lost their luster now that we’re seeing more and more of them starting to a little bit yeah man I mean it’s nobody’s fault it’s just the more the less unique it is the
Less exclusive yeah the the less Gusto it has like perfect games are next I almost like said I used to be a vendor for the Tigers there was one game we were paying the uh Pittsburgh Pirates and this is Andrew McCutchen and his pride right so um I I take my shirt off
I sneak up to the 300 level get me a c and JV was absolutely dilling I don’t know and people in the chat might know what game this is the Bureau baseball Fanatics um man JV had a no hitter through nine and I think one out and
Then I can’t remember it was McCutchen he launched one right over Santiago’s head in the uh center of the field and that that was what ended it man but we were literally two outs away from a third I think that would have been his third no hitter of his uh Tigers career
Oh my God it was at the stadium I’ve never seen anything like it man like it was like everyone on their feet or I’ve never been in the stadium when that what was it like everyone just everyone on their feet it was just a buzz you felt
It man and yeah when the knife in and came a lot of people were on their feet um once he got that first out everybody was going crazy man and I think the second out McCutchen came up to the plate he put it right above Santiago’s head man oh man shout out Ramone
Santiago too he was he was another lowkey Tiger but um yeah man just amaz but seeing something like that is like from a picture it’s it still got something to me but we it it is kind of L everybody does it now it seems like we
Get at least five every year bro when cerica Park is rocking is rocking you want to talk about to me one of the best sports experiences really around to be able to kind of see the game even from outside the stadium when that stadium is rocking when no when that team is good
Man you talk about summers in Detroit it is the place to absolutely be and hearing the roar like I remember going to Tigers games growing up um I remember coming back from college and that was just the place I wanted to be because they were on Fire Man and hearing that
Stadium just absolutely going crazy as you’re walking up to it yeah you just you you almost enter a different realm of like of of Life man yeah Ser walking into that Stadium finding your seats and it gets to the point especially when Miguel Cabrero whenever he stepped up to
The plate that was just a completely different energy especially in the in the zones where you know he can generally hit one out man to kind of sit in that area and I’ve been in a stadium where he’s hit a home run it’s absolute bananas man one of the best peer hitters
I’ve ever seen just me personally uh seen play the game absolutely yeah he just you talk about somebody that can hit it anywhere man you throw it out the Zone he’s going to hit it uh you knew not to throw it in the zone but yeah
He’s just one of the absolute just pure hitters I’ve ever seen play the game but um yeah like you said man there’s nothing like a sold out coer partk and I worked there at a time where 40,000 was easy that was like a normal day 40,000
People man so like yeah we need to get back to that I can’t wait to see what what Scott Harris and the and the guys going forward have my only G Chris illich just can’t be afraid to spend money when the time call on that when
The time calls upon it yes I’m with you I’m with you he’s needed to spend in the past and maybe Miss some opportunities everyone wants him to spend right now this is not the time and don’t for God’s sakes don’t give out of buyas contract especially when you have the front
Office that you do right now that I believe can actually help to position you to not need to necessarily go and throw around the money to just field a competent team I believe with the what the guys that they have right now kind of running the show from the front
Office and you know you got AJ hinch as well managing it on the field yeah now you have the opportunity to kind of see what you have and then uh I think in a position better than the Pistons are to actually then go and make the right type
Of Splash you don’t know if that’s a pitcher you don’t know if that’s a closer you don’t know if that’s a big bat you don’t know that yet let these guys in this young talent that I I’m I’m telling you I’m buying stock in the Detroit Tigers man let this Talent kind
Of work itself out see what you have see what you need and then when that like you said when that time is right to kind of push in all the chips and go over the edge I think at that point in time that’s when you do it because baseball
Is just it’s built and done differently than it was uh during the times of the OG um um Mr illich Mr I you know Dave dumbrowski yeah Dave D it’s done a little bit different I think that there’s still some teams that can operate like that but I don’t believe
That that’s what we’re going to see here with the Detroit Tigers anymore going forward and I actually like what they’re doing right now I do kind of build up get a solid nucleus a solid base and then go out there and spend when it’s best suits this team like I man I’m so
I’m I got actually hyped now I’m I’m looking forward to excit a lot of what they bring reminds me of the Lions when they were about to turn it around they’re very similar to what the lions were I think this that needs to become a segment like like there’s a lot of
Similarities between that it’s like in between 2021 and 2022 season like after the three and 13 year y there’s a lot of similar a lot of we got to have this conversation yeah I’m with that we can put that on the sheet defitely what you saying in the
Chats man what you say oh Speak Easy about that I don’t know what happened how can you not respect this grind that’s what I’m talking about easy all the technology it failed on us this morning and uh we were faced with especially to the people that are here
Uh knew uh we were faced with don’t do the show or find some way to have the show go on we talked about did we just do a Twitter spaces and we were like well that might not necessarily put us in front of the people that definitely
Support us on a daytoday basis so we were like how can we get this done JB the goal was hey you guys can use the v-mix in the back came back here technology was still on the fren we found a way to get it done we found a
Way to get it done we persevered man that it’s Detroit it’s that grit yeah man right that grind we now you guys understand we totally are on lock step with what this city is all about and what it’s known for it’s not just our sports teams but it’s our people and
Kind of the that bridge that’s always got between finding like like Dan Campbell said these players that we have they fit the city they fit the Persona I can tell you the guys we got at Woodward Sports not just wup W but all of our shows including Heavies man they fit
Detroit sports man they fit Detroit City it just is what it is man I’m glad to be a part of it man shout out to easy as well speak EAS you guys are amazing too we’re at 120 likes man yo Zing my guys
Man I told him now look if we can get to 130 140 150 let’s keep it let’s keep it rocking man let’s keep moving this ispiring man let’s do it we we can go up until about go five six seven more minutes try to get you know any
Questions drop them in the chat y’all we will any anything doesn’t even have to be sport this is a sports show so maybe steer that way but shoot ask us about anything yeah Matthew Krueger said wward mornings uh what you like better night games or Day games what’s more iic to
You without a doubt night games there’s nothing like a Tigers night game good 60 degree 65 degree day oh man firework show at the end I absolutely love night games but I’m not opposed to a day game as long as it’s not too hot I’m kind of
A day game guy I’m not mad at that I have to break the tie then night game is fun but like something about a a super hot day a cold beer watching the Tigers game you know especially now that the games are two hours and 15 minutes thing
Never happened to baseball at a pitch clock I I was so against I swear I was so against all the changes until the season started rolling along and then I think man they hit right on the head yeah they did it was overdue it was you got to change with the times I
Understand the tradition of baseball but that’s also the problem with baseball is the tradition that’s why we see guys that should be Hall of Famers not being the hall of fame in baseball and it absolutely sickens me but yeah it was just time to adapt man bigger bases we
Want to see more scoring every Sports League does it it was just it was time for baseball it was cool Day game or night game I got to do the cop out here and I gotta say both man for for different reasons cop in the summer
Roast him in the chat for that for that it’s cica Park in the summer I’m telling you guys a day game I I it listen no the day games We’re Not Gonna argue about this you sound like a day game I ain’t gonna hold you the day games are awesome
They are awesome man it’s like you said man kind of being out there in the atmosphere it kind of is that uh that chill Vibe man and I love when I go to those Day games especially sometimes when we would to sneak away from work and get out there man I would absolutely
Love I just hate being those night games man especially like you said with the uh fireworks and everything if they’re winning oh my God night games have a different crazy it’s CRA it’s kind of that Woodward feel Woodward at night man the way the city lights up the way the city’s just kind
Of a buzz I don’t know how you really choose how you really pick man at least from my perspective if the team’s good they’re both gonna be amazing yeah them Day games can be brutal if the sun’s out though no clouds oh my God Park is like
One of those parks where the sun is beaming on you the whole time true said that said fence C Koolaid I told I told him to ro got to pick a side man all right all right all right had to pick one if I had to pick one honestly it’s
Those night games yeah I I it would be the night games it just okay that Vibe man H I love the city when it’s lit up at night I love the kind of how the the the backdrop is but I you can’t go wrong with either one it’s Detroit man you
Can’t and you know I’ve been to some great day Gam shout to is that Julius uh Quinn or Gwyn said I’m a Detroit native living in Nashville Tennessee shout out I listen to you guys every morning I love the content keep it going thank you guys again for supporting we didn’t know
What to expect we thought hey maybe we go live and maybe our chat is too snoody maybe they’re like oh this ain’t the regular setup right but instead you guys were like you know what let’s rock and we said let’s rock hey Julius your Vanderbilt baseball team got some bad
Memories against them they take Michigan out every time we get to the promised land vanderbel baseball team I just want to point out Tennessee is beautiful too I took a I took a trip to Memphis this past uh year oh my God man I’m I was considering moving out there it’s real
Nice man the people are great um the food is amazing oh my really good food out there Amazing Music Entertainment like it’s everything and they they building a new stadium for the Titans out there man I’m excited to see what that looks like so yeah I’m excited to
See what that looks like shout Taylor Lan yeah yeah big shout out tailgate wins this is Nick Detroit Mario hey shout out ni what up yo Nick my guy or what up do what up do up I’m gonna ask you live is there is there some cultural
Significance to what up doe in Detroit absolutely absolutely okay so that’s not I mean it is I I I think of you as you guys the culture you individuals Kool-Aid and uh kg as say like you guys always said what up do to me yeah what is the cultural
Significance it’s this Detroit term we have like our own kind of lingo here and it resonates with people you talk about as the years go on and more and more people kind of get hip to our type of lingo it just it matters it’s almost like Detroit versus everybody yeah you
Know what I mean like there’s certain things that are kind of significant and exclusive to who we are as a people and it continues to catch on it’s really just a term of endearment man like if we putting the what up do on it that means
Hey I see you I respect you you know you you my peoples you know cuz uh yeah detroiters I don’t know if you know this we’re real standoffish so uh we could be that way so if we greting you like that that means we rock with you respect has
To be earned exactly and it’s the same with the turnover like Buffs not all Buffs are created equal no like there are different got AE a whes yeah I don’t know how to explain it maybe I saw so it was Cory Woods that put out a tweet a
Month or two ago about it and it kind of it it separated the C types of it was interesting yeah what AB Buffs represent like a a status symbol in Detroit they always have I remember a time period where people were getting killed over the things thankfully we’re not in that
Period no more yeah early 2000s it was bad for like people wearing cardi ear I don’t know if you remember like there was a shooting at the Detroit fireworks back in the early 2000s that was what it was over over Buffs yeah a guy was trying to take another guy’s Buffs and
It wasn’t going down like that so bang bang but but yeah but it’s it’s a status symbol like it it’s yeah that Detroit slang mhm yeah it means like you know a lot of detroiters worked hard to get those pair of Buffs man so we like to
Show them off whenever aw you know whenever we get the chance see that’s stbe they start sharing stories like like I didn’t know that yeah I I I I know you know Kate Cunningham brought you know he kind of reinvigorated or or reenergized the buff he embraced it I
Wouldn’t say reinvigorated because it was here but he embraced that’s part of Detroit culture especially like black Detroit culture is the buff man and he embrac the city and that’s why people fell in love with him like Hey I’m putting on the Buffs I’m ready to rock with Detroit obviously it ain’t worked
Out how we planned but you know I’m glad he came in day one and wanted to support what the city was about yeah and I believe that those that are seeking to connect with the city not just in how you Embrace what the culture is how you
Also Embrace what it means to be a worker here man yeah that’s where things are going to go to the next level and I think that’s what ultimately has PE had people excited about K Cunningham and why I still believe you should continue to be excited about Kade C here a lot of
People when you look at this guy when he’s absolutely rolling he’s one of those Next Level players and I know that he’s going to continue to work kind of knowing his family getting to know his family over the last couple years um and getting to know his work ethic and to
See the type of individual he was the type of person he is the type of teammate he is how he is with the fans I did an article last year I didn’t even understand his reach but K Cunningham was uh walking was after the surgery
When he got back and he was kind of walking in so there’s the press conference room to the right there’s a tunnel and then there’s a Players Club where some of the fans go after the games and whatnot seeing him stop and just take all these pictures with fans until they were all
Done and he looked over at me he was like like he knows on media but he still knows like hey man this is this is still a dream job for us yeah he was like man over here bro I know you can’t initiate this but come over here man get your a
Picture I was like are you serious he just talked to me for a little bit gave me some encouraging words and then when I did the article to talk about my experience what I saw just there in the Players Club do you know how many people dm’ me how many people commented about
The fact that they’re like no K does this everywhere yeah everywhere man they moved they when they got to Detroit do you know they did so many obvious see the Pistons they’re goingon to put out there when they do their charity events Kade was doing these things and I was
Talking to his family like Canon his brother and Ashton his cousin and his trainer like why are you guys not publicizing this they were like I don’t know bro we just in the city yeah it wasn’t just Detroit they went up to Flint they went to Sagen they were going
To various places throughout this state giving back and helping for them being a part of this culture it was more than just the Buffs so I’m glad that he embraced the culture but it was also about how he can help and give back and how he can be a part of the community
Too and that’s why I’m always gonna root for him Kade is just one of those players he’s so mature man it you look at him you almost don’t even realize like he’s still a kid technically like he’s he’s almost like a grown ass man like like seriously like a 30y old but
It’s it’s part of his mentality and I love the fact that Detroit Superstars are those type of players low ego um very mature personal people like you look at Calvin he was like that you look at Amar Rin Brown now he’s kind of like that you know we get very mature Stars
Here man and I I just love that from him man he’s he’s absolutely like he embodies what Detroit is about kg not to cut you off there but you need to go check and see if you need to be on Big D they’re about to start oh my not let me
