00:02that's dan miller on the call 97-1 victory monday lions two and one
00:07look if you think i am being a buzzkill today wait till you get to eugene eugene good morning
00:13you're on 97-1 morning guys doing good hey um last play of the game where the jack campbell
00:22got the fumble great they won the game everything's good but think they got to be more aware of
00:29situational awareness the jets are driving they need to score fumble picks it up fall down on it
00:38you got the ball game's gonna be done he tries to run with it a little bit gets tackled he
00:45could
00:45easily fumbled jets recover they're still breathing yes that is a possibility i was more upset that he
00:53didn't stay on his feet and return it for a touchdown i i don't have any issue with him
00:59trying to pick it up he flips he eventually does go down and i think that's probably the same thing
01:04you're talking about he he ends up not trying to do too much but i just there were there were
01:12six
01:12detroit lions around him they were gonna fall on that football and and i it trust me it's a it's
01:18not a round ball it it can be hard to pick up on the run and it can bounce in
01:23any number of
01:25directions i'm grateful for difference of opinion it makes what we do fun i can't imagine that being
01:30the thing you call in and talk about after that game yeah boy i'm glad i'm disappointed you just
01:34didn't fall you know i'm still not okay with he must not have been aware of the score or situational
01:39awareness i i will say that we you know practicing in high school football we were taught scoop and
01:47score we we did not practice just fall on it i thought you saw a real-time thought by jack
01:53camel in terms of yeah i'm scooping it i think i'm gonna score oh wait a minute i'm gonna put
01:58two
01:58arms around it and go down and win the game right i think you actually saw that play right out
02:02like
02:02he was the thought process yeah it's it's that's the same as and i can't remember which game i was
02:10watching uh and i think it was a college game no it was actually it was at my son's high
02:15school game
02:16where it's fourth and 15 quarterback throws a ball and it's intercepted all right you your instinct
02:24is to intercept the ball instead of well i'm not going to be able to return this to where the
02:30ball was
02:30originally at i should just bat it down we're going to get the ball no matter what because it's
02:35a turnover on downs no you you intercept the damn ball let's go to the phones rod in birmingham rod
02:42good morning good morning guys how we doing good good cookies i normally agree with you but i i think
02:50you're dead wrong on this one i i saw an improved team on both sides of the ball and i
02:55was at the game
02:56yesterday and so i was able to see but the cornerbacks believe it or not they actually
03:00stayed up with the receivers pretty well they were on an island for almost every play for some reason
03:06we only had one safety back most plays but they kept up with them the just made amazing plays there's
03:11some bad calls um and then then on uh we stuffed the run and then on offense the offensive line
03:17was
03:17great like it was more balanced we controlled the ball more and so i'm encouraged i think we're one
03:23joey porter away from being a contender okay so you're not going to be the only one to bring up
03:28his name today and i think tom you had put the the worm on the hook for us earlier this
03:32hour talking
03:33about if the lions make a move that joey porter jr name is still out there and there are reports
03:38the
03:38lions have made the phone call john what do you make of it um i'm glad that the call has
03:44been made
03:44now i don't know if pittsburgh's going to get what they actually believe the value is for joey porter
03:52and it sounds like the two teams are detroit and dallas and is dallas with jerry jones just going
04:01to overpay maybe maybe but when you look at at some of the top cornerbacks that have been traded
04:08i know trent mcduffie right the most recent one goes from kansas city to the rams that will involve
04:14four picks one of them was a uh a number one overall pick or not a number one but it
04:18was a first round
04:19pick um three picks i believe in last year's draft along with one in next year's draft if you go
04:29back
04:29to legerious sneed that was traded by the kansas city trees to the tennessee titans what was that
04:36one that was a 2025 third round pick and a 2024 seventh round pick so what if this is somewhere
04:42in
04:42the middle i think it will be somewhere in the middle joey porter was a second round pick i think
04:46they'll if if they just recoup their cost that's probably what this will be a second round pick
04:52and maybe like add on a fifth or something like that in in a future draft yeah and look i
04:58i want to
04:58be careful that we don't build this guy up to be pat sertan because i don't think he's that player
05:05but
05:05i do want to see them address that position group i mean corner two post terry on arnold has just
05:10been
05:10ignored well that's why i think this would be the perfect situation if the pittsburgh steelers if
05:16that relationship is not repairable and it's not repairable by them giving him a contract it's
05:22simply what it will take for that relationship for him to stay in pittsburgh is is some type of
05:28monster contract now the question is going to be when he gets here what does that contract look like
05:33i don't know what his agent is asking for um that's the bigger question i think that's probably
05:40the bigger hang-up to be honest with you i think but it but again you're not trading for
05:43trent mcduffie right you're not trading for legerius sneed you're not trading for the best corner
05:49he just is the best one available right now 248-539-9797 let's get to uh mark you're on 97
05:59.1 mark good
06:00morning morning guys how are you good good oh well while we're talking about players that may
06:07potentially help their defense uh i'd like to go in-house um when i was looking at the inactive
06:13yesterday uh they swapped out rolder for devon white um john i see him as a player who can run
06:22sideline to sideline cover backs and tight ends effectively out of the backfield i don't know
06:27what his snap count or anything like that was yesterday and i'm not trying to call him luke
06:31keekley or anything like that today but with a player uh like devon white campbell barnes they're
06:39all good smart football players and i'm glad they're detroit lions but i don't see them as players who
06:44possess the skill set that rolder might potentially bring to the lions and i'm wondering if you think
06:50that his flexibility his speed to the sidelines those types of things that he did at michigan
06:55could uh impact the team schematically in the future thank you well i was as as we all know
07:02very excited that jimmy rolder was drafted by the detroit lions and not just because he was a
07:07michigan guy sure that plays a part of it but i think he is a they got good value in
07:12him later in
07:13the in the draft because he was hurt basically his first four years at michigan three years at michigan
07:19and had a really good last year um the problem is he was hurt at michigan and so far he's
07:27been hurt
07:27with the lions if he can stay healthy i do think he adds those things a sideline to sideline guy
07:32a
07:32very instinctual linebacker i think he could be a good asset and i think he could be an upgrade over
07:37malcolm rodriguez and we saw malcolm rodriguez get beat for a touchdown uh rodriguez played a little
07:42more and got beat on a touchdown nawaski was out a little more on defense too yeah i like that
07:46kid i just
07:47feel like same thing he no one is going to accuse him of being a star far from it but
07:52he made a couple
07:53plays where i'm like that's just a good football player so yes he does play football and he is good
07:58um but i i say that because it's one of the things that somewhat annoys me when when we say
08:04hey he's
08:04just a good football player why i expect him i mean like to not be a good basketball player playing
08:09football no i i'm sorry i'm giving you a hard time he knows his keys he finds the football he
08:15i'll be more
08:16specific for you very much i'm sorry i knew i knew you were gonna say that and i was ready
08:23to jump all
08:23over it um i i'm gonna say he's kind of i think jimmy rolder is a more talented version of
08:31nawaski where
08:32when you're looking at at him he is instinctual he is a an aggressive player i think he lacks some
08:42of
08:42the top end speed that you need but he makes up for it in how he plays like he processes
08:47things
08:48quickly and he always seems to be in the right place yeah look there's some making him a good
08:52football player good football player they need more good football players good at football especially
08:57on defense 248-539-9797 there are things to highlight from this performance they won the game
09:03and there are some standouts big picture i wondered how much has actually changed we'll keep taking phone
09:08calls talk to lions fans get to the overreact gyms from the weekend at 702 it's 97 1
