00:00Pete Prisco did his midseason NFL All-Pro team.

00:04Now, I know you've seen this.

00:08Yes. Then you've read it, is I guess my question, or did you just send the link?

00:12No, I looked at it. Okay, gotcha. So, I want everybody in their own

00:16mind to think about who would be, now All-Pro is not like Pro Bowler.

00:20This is the best in the league at the position.

00:24So, it's not like there's a bunch of running backs.

00:28There is a running back. It's not like there's a bunch of quarterbacks.

00:32There is a quarterback. Make sense? Everybody got it?

00:36So, when you think about who would be on the NFL All-Pro

00:40team from the Detroit Lions. Now, others, like the runner-ups,

00:44they do, it's put together by Pete Prisco, CBS Sports. There are runner-ups here.

00:48Okay, so, again, I know that people care about this.

00:52So, I'm gonna work my way through it here a little bit. A quarterback.

00:56Ask yourself, do you think Jared Goff should be first team

01:00All-Pro quarterback?

01:04And the answer is, he's not.

01:08Pete Prisco goes, Lamar Jackson, and he says it was an easy choice.

01:12Because it is an easy choice. Goff was a runner-up

01:16along with Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Jaden Daniels.

01:20Running back, do you think that Montgomery

01:24or Gibbs should be first team All-Pro running back?

01:28Probably not. Not first team. No.

01:32And I would think, of the two, Gibbs probably would deserve more

01:36because he's got 200 more rushing yards.

01:40Derrick Henry is named the first team All-Pro running back.

01:44Runner-up, just one, Saquon Barkley. Wide receiver,

01:48do you think Aminra St. Brown deserves to be, and they have

01:52three of them on this team, so this is where there is

01:56more than one. Three wide receivers on Pete Prisco's midseason All-Pro team.

02:00Do you think Aminra St. Brown deserves to be

02:04on the midseason All-Pro team at wide receiver? I do not.

02:08I think he's a great receiver. I think he's one of the best receivers in the game. However, the way

02:12that the first half of the season has gone, statistically, he would not fit into that category.

02:16Even though he's incredibly important to this team.

02:20The three receivers named to the midseason All-Pro team are

02:24Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Terry McLaurin

02:28for the Commanders. And he writes, the top two

02:32were easy, Chase and Jefferson, former college teammates leading the group. The third choice was a tough one.

02:36I want McLaurin, who finally has a quarterback, and he's putting up impressive numbers.

02:40Do you think Aminra gets in the runner-up category?

02:44Well, I know. I'm asking, I guess, the audience to

02:48answer the question themselves. There are one, two, three, four, five

02:52five receivers in the runner-up category. And the answer is

02:56no. Aminra does not get in the runner-up category.

03:00He hasn't had that season he had last year, where he was catching the ball

03:04eight times a game, or he was targeted 10 to 12 times a game, and

03:08ripping off 100 yards a game as well. He just, he's been

03:12great. He's been reliable. They've completed 30 straight passes to him.

03:1630 targets, 30 catches. He's been amazing. However,

03:20it's not the volume that the other receivers in the league have had, so they're going to get more notice.

03:24The other receivers are CeeDee Lamb, Brian Thomas Jr.,

03:28Garrett Wilson, Drake London, and Chris Godwin.

03:32I wouldn't be surprised if Aminra cracks this by the end of the year.

03:36But he does not make it in midseason. Tight end, Sam Laporta.

03:40I don't think anybody would argue Laporta would be it. George Kittle's name, first team

03:44all-pro tight end. Brock Bowers and Travis Kelsey, runner-up.

03:48Now, Kelsey just had his season the other night. Yeah, right.

03:52Left tackle. We're not going to do this for everyone. Slow it way down.

03:56Because this one's rather obvious. It would not be Decker. It's Trent Williams,

04:00left guard, Quinton Nelson. The center position, do you think

04:04Frank Ragnow makes first team all-pro center? I've said I think

04:08he's one of the top three centers in the league. Arguably the best center in the league, so you'd hope he's

04:12getting some kind of recognition. Creed Humphreys name, the first teamer, and runner-up.

04:16Ragnow gets a mention there, along with Tyler Linderbaum and Aaron Brewer.

04:20Right guard, no point in bringing that up. Right tackle, do you think

04:24Pene Sewell, I'm asking the people, do you think Pene Sewell deserves to be

04:28first team all-pro right tackle?

04:32The answer is, he does. He gets named first team all-pro.

04:36Defensively, what did they say about Lane Johnson with that?

04:40He's taken the throne of best right tackle in the game

04:44from Lane Johnson to the Eagles, but it's still close. Sewell is big, athletic

04:48and can move. He can also show off his power in the run game.

04:52Defensively, Aidan Hutchinson makes edge rusher, obviously.

04:56Despite the fact he didn't even play half the season,

05:00and he's one of the edge rushers, I think speaks volumes to how good he was.

05:04And TJ Watt also there. Defensive tackle, do you think

05:08the McNeil people deserve first team defensive tackle love?

05:12He does not get it. Dexter Lawrence and Chris Jones

05:16make it runner-up. Ali McNeil, he does get in the runner-up category along with

05:20Cam Hayward and Jalen Carter. I think that's pretty good progress right there.

05:24Linebacker, do you think Jack Campbell makes first team all-pro?

05:28You think he does?

05:32Well, you don't look pained in the seating position, so I'm guessing he's not.

05:36List needs to go.

05:40That's really unfortunate. He does not. Fred Warner and

05:44Bobby Wagner do. Runner-up, no Jack Campbell either.

05:48Corner, no Lions corner. Safety, do you think

05:52Brian Branch or Kirby Joseph get some love? And the answer to that is

05:56yes, they both get some love. Pete Prisco's midseason all-pro team.

06:00Xavier McKinney and Brian Branch are your first team all-pro guys. Runner-up,

06:04Kirby Joseph, Brandon Jones, and Jesse Bates. And finally,

06:08I will tell you that Jack Fox gets the punter spot. So

06:12plenty of Detroit Lion love. So hopefully that makes

06:16people feel better. Hopefully that makes people feel good.

06:20Well, it's not going to make them feel worse. Nope. Nope. It's nice to get the recognition halfway through

06:24the season. It's only halfway through the season. I don't know if you need to do that, but hey, people like to

06:28read the stuff that happens. Content, content, content, baby. Here are the awards.

06:32Yang, do you take any umbrage or are you pretty cool with all this?

06:36Yeah, I mean this is kind of like the college football rankings

06:40at this point. It will clear out at the end of the year.

06:44I think awards are always appreciated, but in the end it doesn't matter.

06:48It's the team sport. Winning the championship is the biggest thing.

06:52But it's cool. Always cool to be recognized, I think.

06:56But it's not the end of it. There's plenty of Lions love.

07:00I guess the one thing I would ask and wonder is by the end of this year,

07:04who could crack into a runner-up spot?

07:08Could Gibbs or Montgomery get a little bit more love at

07:12running back? It really feels like that's going to be hard to do because A, there's two of them,

07:16and B, the running back position is back, baby. It is back.

07:20Well, here's the thing. We talk about stuff like this.

07:24Everybody remembers what you do down the stretch. Nobody remembers what you did in the first half.

07:28So can players get there? Sure. I think Jameer Gibbs,

07:32if he continues what he's doing, will absolutely get some consideration.

07:36You look at Sam Laporta. They've hardly used

07:40Sam Laporta to this point, but if they start using him like they did last year, sure, he's there.

07:44St. Brown, if he gets used like he was last year, boom, he can be on that list.

07:48Can one of the corners get there?

07:52Keep going. If Jack Campbell continues to rack up

07:5613-14 tackles a game, he will be.
