Have the Lions done enough to address their defensive needs?
Transcript
00:00I'm getting a sense this city's turning on him and last night I didn't do many favors people
00:05wanted to see him pitch in the world baseball classic final now unless he was going to pinch
00:09it for Aaron judge I don't know if it would have won them the game shout out three strikeouts in
00:14a big spot from judge we'll talk scuba there's a lot of other bats that didn't perform either
00:18no I know but this is how do you know the game has stakes Aaron judges staring down meatballs
00:253-1 Joe Davis this is the moment bat stays on the shoulder anyway we're going to talk
00:30world baseball classic scuba how the city feels about the guy right now lions added an edge
00:35John big headline yeah DJ won him and I would I think I would throw this one out there who
00:43in the city of Detroit has heard much about DJ won him I think everyone's hands in the
00:48air asking for questions well and and so it's a name that you should have heard before because
00:53he spent his first four years in Minnesota and in year two and four he had eight sacks
01:01a piece the two years in Carolina weren't as productive he only played I think it was eight
01:09games in 24 and last year he played 16 of the 17 games but never reached the same production
01:16that he had had in Minnesota so everybody's wants to know is this a replacement for al-kwadeen
01:23Muhammad and on the surface similar deals yeah they signed similar deals at six million there six
01:28million here it's a year there you're here um the big difference I see between these players
01:33is DJ won him plays all three downs he's a guy that will actually be on the field and can
01:39be
01:40productive against the run he's not just a third down pass rush specialist yeah because the thing
01:46with al-kwadeen Muhammad his last season was out of nowhere you got a pass rusher post 30 yeah with
01:52one real season who you can't rely on to play versus the run al-kwadeen Muhammad going to Tampa
01:58I didn't lose an ounce of sleep over it the comparison is going to be natural people are
02:01going to say he had all the sacks one of them only had three last year who cares if he
02:05plays a lot
02:06if he's not productive John this has to be a depth piece though I would think so and it's
02:12so the question is is it an upgrade over al-kwadeen Muhammad it's a different kind of player it's a
02:17different kind of player and you know I think he's more of an upgrade over his Marcus Davenport
02:20actually play football and set an edge right yeah he he's going to be on the field um at least
02:26you
02:26you believe his track record says he'll actually participate right but if we're upgrading from
02:31Davenport or Muhammad you still don't have it's not a great up it's a marginal upgrade simply because
02:37he's going to be on the field over Davenport and he'll be on the field three downs versus
02:41al-kwadeen Muhammad coming in to rush the passer in some ways it kind of feels like he's just a
02:45guy
02:45oh he is just a guy don't don't don't don't don't misunderstand anything that we've talked about
02:51I'm not trying to pump him up or trying to pump up lions fans I'm just telling you what happened
02:55yesterday and who they added and so it's yes this is not that definition it just continues to feel
03:05like band-aids it does bargain bin one year depth so there are still are the three guys that we've
03:15been talking about cam jordan and he has I really believe he actually wants to stay in new orleans
03:22but I think he had the the line that says the cash has to make sense um and right now
03:29it doesn't
03:29and then outside of that it sounds like there's a big push for him to be in kansas city all
03:37right
03:37so maybe you maybe you got a shot maybe you don't then the next guy joey bosa there's been a
03:45lot of
03:45scuttle and I know his mom came out and said I'd love to see my boys play together which would
03:49be
03:50san francisco what was that I don't know it's just it's my it's my mrs bosa impersonation it's
03:55never met her I've never even heard her um I think they're italian yeah want to give that one
04:00a shot uh no bippity boppity I want my sons to play together yeah um well you should know how
04:05that
04:05would go um and then obviously the the the next step down would be aj epineza now we have not
04:11heard
04:11anything there's been no rumors about where he may end up he'll end up somewhere yeah and if it's not
04:17one of those other two guys I'd take aj epineza here I'm not holding my breath I think they've got
04:24money set aside for their draft picks they've got money set aside for some extensions and they
04:29always keep a rainy day fund over under brad holmes I don't feel like they've attacked this
04:33offseason with enough urgency or aggressiveness I just don't expect these guys to land here
04:38certainly a lot of holes to be filled and when we talk about the draft we just had the fresh
04:42mel
04:43and what did I just say I didn't hear it we got we got some snickering going on in the
04:50background
04:50here um when we talk about the draft we think and we project because of brad holmes track record
04:59that he's going to be a mover and shaker on draft it kind of feels like it's the only time
05:03he actually
05:03makes substantial trades you got two fours two fifths two six so you got extra picks later in the
05:11draft can you bounce up in the first and make a pick at 12 versus 17 okay are you going
05:17to move
05:18back into the second so you get two second round picks like I don't know what he ends up doing
05:23it
05:23feels like they should draft a tackle and an edge with the first two picks now you have so many
05:28more
05:29holes to fill and you don't want to fill them with four fifth six rounders no I know but what
05:32I'm
05:32saying is they famously will shout from the mountaintop hey we don't draft for need even though
05:36like you can make needs and best players fit and the way they would do it John would be trading
05:42picks
05:43because you don't need nine guys to come in as rookies and make this roster you would hope move
05:48up three spots in the second to go get a guy who plays the position you didn't address in the
05:52first
05:52yeah they are in a position now where there's no projects no hey he's the best player on our board
05:58well if you don't need him on the football field right there are other guys that you do need and
06:02you
06:03are trying to get out of the basement yeah I guess what I'm what I'm ultimately trying to say is
06:09you have a lot of holes on this team I would much prefer that some of them and a majority
06:16of them
06:17are filled with experienced quality NFL talent and we haven't seen them filled we don't know
06:25what's going to happen and I don't want to get to draft day and have nine picks they take all
06:30nine
06:30picks and then we're forced with some very important positions on this football team being filled with
06:36late round draft picks 248-539-9797 how many just a guy signings over the years have turned out to
06:45be
06:45good players guys like Anzalone Monty etc the fan base is worried because it's not a name calling it
06:52bargain bin is a lame narrative well you say bargain bin because it doesn't cost you a lot to get
07:01these
07:01guys and maybe you find a a diamond in the rough it's not likely text points out how can you
07:09sign
07:10depth if you don't have starters it's about it's it's what we believe will be a depth piece because
07:17you're going to sign a starter in front of him or draft a starter in front of them now this
07:23says this
07:23is pascal's replacement i don't know how can you replace a guy you never really had right
07:31hey we're going to talk scoobal in the eight o'clock hour we'll tell you how to win some
