00:02 - Here's Dan Campbell.
00:04 - We'll always be known, in my opinion, as a tough team.
00:07 We should be a tough physical team,
00:09 offense, defense, special teams.
00:10 But if you're just tough and you're just physical
00:14 and you have no creativity,
00:16 you're not gonna do anything with it.
00:18 You'll bang away.
00:21 But I think that gives you just a little bit of an edge.
00:24 And look, it's a little bit,
00:29 I watched Sam Frown last night, man.
00:31 It's one of the reasons Sam Frown, I think, is so,
00:33 Shanahan's done an unbelievable job,
00:34 but those guys are physical, tough,
00:37 and man, very creative in the run and pass game.
00:39 - There you go, Joe.
00:43 Toughness with his Lions.
00:45 They are three-point favorites in Tampa
00:49 against the Bucs.
00:50 It's a 425 East game.
00:51 This game was flexed to the late window.
00:53 43 and a half is the total.
00:56 You like the Lions on the road here this week, Joe?
00:58 Road favorites at the Bucs?
01:01 - No, you know, this game is a little scary
01:03 because I said five, five and a half in there,
01:07 and I know that Detroit is playing well right now,
01:10 but without Gibbs and Sam Frown, a little bit banged up,
01:14 and the fact that Baker is at home,
01:17 I can't believe I'm saying this,
01:18 but I'm gonna take the five and a half
01:20 or five points with Tampa Bay and Bulls.
01:23 I like the way their defense is playing.
01:25 Shocked that they bounced back into form,
01:27 but they have an identity again,
01:30 and that's something that was lacking last year
01:32 in terms of the offense,
01:34 so I'm gonna take Tampa Bay as home dogs here.
01:37 - Wow, you're taking Tampa Bay as home dogs.
01:42 I cannot believe this.
01:44 The way that you bashed and bullied this team
01:48 through the first couple weeks of the season,
01:50 and now here comes Joe.
01:52 Let me jump on the train with Baker and Todd Bowles
01:55 and the crew at home off of bye.
01:57 I can't, Joe, I can't believe it.
02:00 I am stunned, Joe, to hear this.
02:03 - The New Orleans dominating victory over New England,
02:06 I mean, that defense is really good,
02:08 and for them to tack on, what,
02:10 27 points on that defense two weeks ago?
02:13 That was a pretty good effort by Tampa Bay on the road,
02:15 so I was impressed.
02:16 You know, Detroit, gutty.
02:19 Dan Campbell, fantastic.
02:21 Jared Goff, amazing.
02:23 But the defense, to me, is what was needed
02:26 for this team to potentially be a playoff contender.
02:30 It looks like Todd Bowles has this group dialed back in,
02:33 and I think they strike the upset
02:35 Saturday afternoon in Tampa Bay.
02:37 - I'm on the box, Joe, just so you know.
02:40 I'm on the box. - And it was a good call
02:41 by you, all right?
02:42 And not only that, but when I recognize a team transitioning
02:46 and better than what I thought,
02:48 I don't just go down with the ship.
02:50 - No, I know you don't.
02:52 - I jump off, like they're doing in Denver.
02:55 - I know you do.
02:56 - Yeah, they're jumping off the ship, all right.
