00:00We should probably just jump into it, Tom, because we had a big game with the Lions versus

00:07the Cowboys.

00:08Lions putting on a complete show, 47 to 90 in the victory here, a massive second quarter

00:14with 20 points and then just continue to roll and rally through there.

00:17But I think we start off by the big injury that the Lions took.

00:21It came down to Hutchinson going down, rushed to the hospital.

00:25And then we found out later that he actually had to have emergency surgery for a broken

00:28tibula, I think I saw.

00:30That's going to be major in a number of ways.

00:32I think you, amongst a lot of other people, were on him for defensive player of the year.

00:36I know I love that because of the expectation of what the Lions are supposed to produce

00:39this season and how they're living up to their own hype and expectation.

00:43But kind of start with that injury before we roll into this big win for the Lions.

00:48Yeah, absolutely.

00:50Massive loss for their defense is going to be a very long recovery.

00:55The timelines that I've seen is six, eight, nine months, whatever it might be.

00:59So he's out for the year.

01:01The Lions still have a very good team without him.

01:04Their offense is obviously unbelievable.

01:05I would expect them to try and make some moves at the deadline.

01:08They have Super Bowl aspirations, right?

01:10This is a team that is built to win.

01:13This is not a team that has ever wavered on that.

01:16Once they got Dan Campbell in there, they have been on this path.

01:18I expect them to make moves at the deadline because they know this is their window to

01:22win.

01:24They have a great attack in place.

01:25They have a great O.C. with Ben Johnson.

01:26They have the running backs.

01:27They have the receivers.

01:28They have everything.

01:29They're missing a key piece on defense now, of course, with Hutchinson done for the year.

01:33That is the role that they need to fill via trade, via someone.

01:37The Jets have, who's ever holding out, his name is escaping me right now, Son Reddick,

01:44who's been holding out since camp.

01:46Make a trade for him.

01:47They need someone on the defense, on the D-line.

01:50There are moves to be made.

01:51I expect them to take care of business.

01:54It's a massive loss, but I still have full faith in the Lions that they will move through

01:58the playoffs and be in the Super Bowl.

02:00Yeah, I do too.

02:02And I think that's a great call to kind of mention the holdout going on with the Jets

02:06because not to make it a dramatic headline thing, but the reality is between the firing

02:10of the head coach, between all the headlines that circulate around their quarterback, and

02:14then the contract holdout, this guy's almost losing more money than he's going to look

02:18to make if he ever wants to play football this season.

02:21So at this point, I think the Lions should make a play for him.

02:24I think part of it too is just maybe he's not a fit for the Giants, regardless of being

02:27a dynamic player in his own way.

02:29So I think that that's something they could definitely look at and probably make an affordable

02:33move on.
