00:00well they certainly did in buffalo by the way i think they could have scored three different
00:05ways on that touchdown alan could have kept it he had the tight end had another player open too
00:10he must have been confused that was the goal is giving too many options too many wide open
00:14easy touchdowns where do i go or do i just keep it i gave you the stat alan was blitzed
00:2155 of his
00:23dropbacks it's the highest rate under kelvin shepherd good quarterbacks like when you blitz
00:28right yes because you you either get one-on-one coverage or you can find an easy outlet somebody
00:36that's wide open alan against the blitz 12 of 17 137 yards and two touchdowns
00:45he also ran on scrambles five times for 50 yards and a touchdown and he was four for four on
00:52those
00:52qb sneak conversions including a touchdown they had five touchdowns they scored five touchdowns in
00:57their first six possessions yeah and on the first the opening drive he had 40 yards rushing himself
01:02yeah it was a whimper you come out and you punt on three of the first four offensive possessions
01:09and we thought it could be sloppy down three offensive linemen but man that's a whimper and
01:13then on defense it's they got 20 27 points with a missed extra point before you even settle in
01:21so look it tells you a lot of things it tells you that's what a super bowl team is and
01:24it tells you
01:25we aren't yes that's what that's what a a team that is well equipped looks like maybe the lions can
01:35pick up alex cobb to shore up their secondary what's kidding my ada doing god
01:44larkin doesn't want to comment about the lions game at this time
01:49yeah i don't want to comment on anything hostage situation it's what it looked like
01:54can we please relax the rams laid an egg in week one and they are still favored to win it
01:59all the
01:59lions have a favorable schedule the next few weeks with injured starters returning soon it's not s o s
02:05so by definition you're correct they're going to play 15 more games but we have more than just
02:13one game to look at we also have a second half against new orleans and let's not forget that tyler
02:21shuck how many yards did tyler shuck throw for 410 and is tyler shuck in the top 10 of quarterbacks
02:28probably not the top 20 okay and beyond that like start doing the yardage through two games not one two
02:34games they've given up 915 yards damn near a thousand yards through two games it's the most
02:41they've given up through two games since the 08 lions otherwise known as the 0 and 16 detroit lions
02:50well we know that's not possible well we've won a game and i hate to be that guy but imagine
02:54if
02:54that two point goes oh stop it stop it you too far yeah we'd be 0 and 2 if not
03:00for a two point
03:01conversion deandre swift cut cut that pass uh-huh thank you greg all right that was too far uh scott
03:09and brighton you want to rein us in yeah to channel my uh my inner aaron rogers r e l
03:17a x i mean you
03:19guys i understand in detroit we got not a lot going on we're we're holding on by a thread praying
03:26that
03:26our lions can pull us through this disastrous sports year that should have been but you guys
03:33there's a lot of games left as john just said uh we have cap space hopefully we can stay healthy
03:40uh if you remember last night on the broadcast it talked about the number of playoff wins that
03:45josh allen had without making it to a super bowl so i mean there's a lot of parody in this
03:50league
03:51there's a lot of time to go holmes definitely didn't think terry on ardle would go training day
03:57on uh on the people that stole the stuff and uh everyone thought that dj reed was a great pickup
04:05and he hasn't been so uh lots of hot lots of cold just hang out in the middle for a
04:12bit all right scott
04:13so i think what i want to make sure that we're specific about what we're talking about i think we
04:19still think this is a double digit win team the problem that we're having is i don't think you
04:27are legitimate super bowl contenders that's where we're going with this and i don't necessarily think
04:32that that's an overreaction after watching what we've seen through two games and like scott i'll
04:37give you this example and then you can jump back in here they won 15 games in 2024 and they
04:44got their
04:45doors blown off in a very similar way with buffalo and that was a red flag so even with this
04:50schedule
04:51they could rattle off a bunch of wins but aren't you concerned that this is what it's going to look
04:55like when they play the best teams yeah i mean i i am i'm not unconcerned uh i'm in a
05:02season ticket
05:02holder for a while um like i said i just i don't love the fire this guy fire that guy
05:09um we definitely
05:10have to get better this is definitely a wake-up call um we you know we've talked about depth and
05:18and getting better in depth i think that's maybe happened but yeah we we need more we need to make
05:24that big move detroit sports hasn't made that big move in in a while and even when we've made these
05:31big moves uh you know like valdez signing some other signings throughout it hasn't worked out
05:39scott let me i want to ask you one more question before before we let you go you mentioned that
05:45you know a terryon arnold nobody expect him to go training day and you're right we didn't expect
05:50that out of terryon arnold but would this defense be better with terryon arnold right now
05:57uh it's scary to say but based on last night yes not much better i see i not much better
06:03but he's
06:04better than any of the corners that were in that game look maybe he would have lined up on side
06:09every play and that would have been the the advantage but i don't not good yeah i don't look
06:14at that and that's when we get back to the questions that dave burkett was asking to brad holmes
06:20and did you enough did you do enough to address that room
06:27see i i just think last night was last night was why i didn't pick them to go as far
06:32as you guys
06:33it's i thought they'd be a wild card division winner most likely division winner that would bow out in
06:37the first round or the divisional okay because i just thought they weren't a super bowl caliber team
06:42do you guys withdraw that at all yet do you want to so part of i can't speak for job
06:48part of my
06:49thought was the offensive line would get better as they went they would win the division because
06:53there's some inherent advantages on this schedule and then at that point they would be playing good
06:59enough football to win a or two playoff games i don't feel good about winning two playoff games with
07:03what i've seen because of the defense right yes because of the defense so ask me that question
07:09on monday because i want to see what some of the teams that we have on the schedule look like
07:17what
07:17do the jets look like through two games what does arizona look like through two games what do the giants
07:22look like again after having beaten dallas like are there is this last place schedule that we have
07:29you know talked a ton about tougher than we thought because there are other teams that have gotten
07:34better and i think then you got to ask the question if other teams are getting better then did you
07:40do
07:40enough to improve while other teams are getting better right and i think this is clear and evident
07:45this morning that they are not a super bowl contender yeah correct yeah they're not and it's so people who
07:51think that's where maybe we're pulling away not that they can't become but something has to change
07:56they're not currently it's like hutchinson said something has to change i don't know if anybody
07:58knows what that is yet bottom line is the owner said in the offseason nine and eight wasn't good
08:03enough this looks like a nine and eight ten ten and seven maybe eleven and six type team where you're
08:08just good enough to get in the playoffs you're not good enough to do anything but to john's point and
08:11it's valid like the quote easy games if you're gonna let every quarterback do this to you there will be
08:17no easy games like geno smith's next he's had some big moments against the lions i i know i could
08:22say it
08:22with a chuckle but i'm also acknowledging like the dudes had some big games against us
08:26if we're not going to provide resistance carolina arizona green bay minnesota even miami the next
08:32few games like if you're not going to provide resistance you're going to find yourself in
08:38some games you shouldn't be to put miami or tennessee in that category i didn't say they're
08:43going to lose them i said you're going to find yourself in games you shouldn't be in right i think
08:47those other three you just said you the miami tennessee no i mean i think at this point michigan's
08:51offense could put up 300 yards against this defense well even bryce but but i i will i'll
08:56take it to another bryce bryce young carolina like he put up 37 against chicago's defense and i know we
09:03don't think a lot of their defense but we also don't think a lot of ours right now either ding
09:06ding
09:06uh we will get heather's news at the end of the hour we're going to keep taking lion phone calls
09:12and just to reset where we're at on this we're talking about hey this is not a super bowl team
09:16i don't
09:17think people are fighting that point we're also looking at this secondary and asking is that on
09:21shep as a dc they stuck by him after last year hey calm down or or calm down i'm just
09:29looking at
09:29some of the the the calls that we have on on the horizon here calm down just just calm down
09:35we'll get
09:36to him okay we'll get to all these calls 97 one
