00:00let's keep going with the running back train here and david montgomery not a free agent but has
00:04himself a new home traded from detroit to houston no question an upgrade for the texans off of what
00:10woody marks did last year nick chubb hasn't been the same in years joe mixon didn't even play
00:16last season and so he gets out of the shadow of sonic and knuckles and you know being the
00:22number two change of pace back to jameer gibbs into a situation where obviously he could thrive
00:28he could be again as he was with the bears and early with detroit a thousand yard guy
00:32what do you expect from montgomery within that texans offense under nick cayley
00:37yeah i think montgomery is going to be treated as the workforce there we know he has great
00:42physicality again he's a little bit similar to kenneth walker not as explosive a playmaker doesn't
00:48have that same high-end speed but he's a guy you can hand the ball to 20 times a game
00:52and he will
00:53you know give you a lot of production i think that's going to be valuable we saw cj stroud
00:58in the playoffs really really struggle and just seem to lose his confidence i think having a higher
01:04end support at running back which is what joe makes it was supposed to be last year but couldn't play
01:09because of the foot injury i think having montgomery just a stable steady support there will help him a
01:14lot and then i think for the lion side of this you can add draft capital and i believe they
01:19also got
01:20juice scruggs a young backup interior offensive lineman who was once a second round pick i think
01:25they got him as part of this deal so you're just adding assets to your team for a guy who
01:30yes would
01:31you love him to have returned as your hammer behind jameer gibbs sure but you can fairly easily replace
01:36him and find another physical back while leaning on gibbs to be that sonic front end you know speedy
01:43workhorse for you out there so i think for the lions this trade makes a lot of sense texans definitely
01:48filled the need they gave up a lot to get montgomery but given the contract he's on and the steady
01:53production he's had throughout his career i think it's a smart move for both teams
01:56you
