00:03admittedly there are no credible reports that joey porter jr trade talks have heated up but
00:10there's a lot of internet smoke out there and you know so we're trying to be as responsible as we
00:15can uh and not react to every rumor under the sun which is very difficult for us to do kang
00:21i think
00:21you're mad at me a little bit uh because we always have to like sift through and find out what's
00:25credible and what's not and i'm not sure how credible this is but i brought it to the air
00:30anyway you know oh every now and then a good you know reckless talk about trades is good for the
00:34show the show that's fine uh sports radio is about i guess uh jared goff at 10 30 we do
00:41take
00:41listener questions the listener questions have been pretty good they've been fun uh if you have
00:46a question for jared goff text it at 248-539-9797 our guy kang back there sifts through the listener
00:53questions cleans them up a little bit uh make sure you sign your text because you'd hate to have like
00:58your question be asked and you can tell your friends and we don't give you credit for it so
01:03sign your text let us know who you are and what your question for jared goff is and we uh
01:08try every
01:08week to ask one fan question to jared goff some weeks are better than others some weeks we don't get
01:12any great ones but uh what do you got so get them over and we have questions for jared goff
01:19sure
01:20let's get back to your open line calls we got a joe at highland hi joe
01:24hey good morning so i think we should uh go after porter jr um we have such a good team
01:32a strong
01:33base and everything we only need d-backs if you look at next year's draft we need d-backs for
01:37safeties
01:38which get a proven commodity we know that um our gm's kryptonite is is drafting uh d-backs and i
01:47think
01:47it's it's a helpful thing for the whole team i just i think it's a no-brainer i actually do
01:52it we
01:52gotta give our first round pick who cares who cares well they'll care i mean i don't want to
01:57overpay for them and the thing that scares me a little bit is is is jerry jones in the mix
02:03and
02:03detroit and dallas are the two teams and you you know you said joe at the beginning you said i
02:07think
02:08we should go after joey porter it sounds like they've made their decision to go after him by making the
02:15phone call but that doesn't mean that you don't you necessarily trade for him does that make you feel
02:21any better that they're they're they're taking your advice and going after him i think i think
02:27we can compete with jerry i think this is one of the moves that puts us over the top like
02:32a rasheed
02:33wallace with the pistons back in the day porty just feels like that kind of guy to me on our
02:38defense
02:38so just take us to the next level and if we got to give a first round and compete with
02:43jerry so be it
02:44yeah there's reports out of dallas that jerry jones has been pretty adamant he would mortgage the
02:48future for the right player now if he thinks this is the right player so be it i i this
02:55kind of
02:55thinking is aggressive and using the term again can be reckless but you know the the win at all costs
03:05win right now i don't care we're going to get them top jerry's offer i always worry about jerry i
03:12always
03:12worry about what if you're i don't want to get in a bidding war with a guy who i i
03:17i think is is
03:19willing to keep upping the ante yeah i'm not sure it's smart no i don't know it's smart smart business
03:25i'm curious in the next one daddy when do i get to run the team daddy daddy we gotta get
03:32porter daddy
03:33like how much is steven in the year i don't know how involved is he i think he's very involved
03:39i think you might be right uh bryson is next on 97.1 hello bryson hey how you doing what's
03:46up
03:48uh i think it's bold to ever say that you're ever truly like one corner away you're ever two players
03:56away from something you have this star-studded offense and it's it's pulling together you have
04:01these coaches who are all about culture and yeah sure you lost one you have the basis of it and
04:07now
04:08you're seeing this defense fall apart and you're going oh we need this we need this that's not
04:12going to fix it when you see dj reed run toe-to-toe with olave and wilson on one play
04:17the next play you
04:19see a blitz coming in safety's good safeties aren't there to help you see dj reed get burned you see
04:25everything happen every every one of your nightmares that you see happen you don't go back to the basics
04:30you try and get crafty you try and be brian flores because you think your team has a ceiling
04:35and then you blame it on your team and you say well i'm working with what i got
04:40that's a lame excuse if you ask me i'm trying to hold my language in bryson you think they have
04:47you're saying you think they have better personnel than what has shown up on the field
04:53i think it's no i think it's lame to uh blame your personnel as the coach okay i don't know
04:59if they
05:00blamed them they said that they had to do a better job of getting them in the right positions to
05:03make plays
05:05but then kelvin shepherd also said that he can only do so much with what he's working
05:09well yeah that was a line in the middle of it but that was certainly not his point of emphasis
05:14he did say that but his point of emphasis was they needed to do a better job of getting
05:19in positions to make plays and on top of that bryson bryson let me back up would you rather have
05:24dj reed
05:24trying in man coverage or dj reed on wide receiver two for the other team and joey porter jr
05:30on wide receiver one oh of course you would want that but then you gotta think about what are you
05:36giving up in the future and what do you know brad holmes is going to do yes you do you
05:40do have to
05:40think about what you're giving up in the future i i wouldn't look you can fixate on whatever line you
05:45want if your takeaway from everything that was said last week is that one line
05:52that so much more was emphasized about them getting guys in the right position yeah i don't
05:57think that that the spirit that that should have been taken i i think he was he was kind of
06:02riffing
06:02and talking about injuries this team had and look we we got to go out there with what we have
06:07right
06:07now yep right we can't worry about the fact that we don't have branch and joseph it's next man up
06:13and
06:13we've got to figure out a way to where the communication works where what we're doing
06:17on the on the practice field is apparently much better than what we're seeing on the game day
06:20field why is there that disconnect and that's what they were trying to figure out last week steven
06:24waterford is next hello steve hello can you hear me yeah go ahead steve all right i think you got
06:34i've
06:34been a pittsburgh steelers fan my entire life my dad's from there i grew up there you guys are way
06:40too high
06:41on joey porter jr like i i understand that you you need to fill like a gap that you have
06:47but like
06:48are you like some of the some of the stuff i hear thrown out is ridiculous like this guy
06:54like i i don't his career pass rating allowed is like in the 70s i don't remember it offhand
07:00he gets pis all the time like last year his last year his passer rating against was 55.9 which
07:08was
07:09third best in the nfl in zone coverage it was 48.7 which was second best in the nfl his
07:15rookie
07:16season his rookie season it was 70.1 and here he is in year three and it's way better
07:24i know i i understand what you're saying i i don't think you address like his uh his
07:30pass interference problem which has gotten better like i'm not saying that he's a bad quarterback
07:35corner by any means it's just if you think this is going to magically fix all your problems after
07:40barely beating the no the question is is he is he better than what they have would he help them
07:45and i think the answer almost any way you look at it is yes well yeah obviously i mean yeah
07:53no it's
07:53pretty yes it's going to be better than whoever the lions have right now which is nobody but yes i
07:58i
07:58understand i don't know i just don't think jpj is the guy oh yeah he's got 14 pass interference calls
08:06uh in his three years he's played obviously hasn't played this year he had five last year six the
08:11year before and three his uh his rookie season um yeah and when you're not getting targeted a lot
08:18because he is a good corner uh like when you're not getting a ton of targets i don't know yes
08:21steve
08:22i don't think crucial however good or bad people think he is it can be debated i always go well
08:28wait a sec step back would he help them win would he help the detroit lions defense now and i
08:33think
08:33the question is unequivocally yes uh ben is next on 97 one hello ben good morning the thing that worries
08:40me in this league now is all these injuries and you know if it's a trump pick or
08:49yeah we're losing you and it sounds like you're on speaker and you got a bad i don't know if
08:53you can
08:53take us off speaker because it's just it doesn't sound very good are you there yeah i'm here i'm
09:00sorry okay go ahead no i just worry about with with this league with all these injuries um you you
09:08know
09:08not mortgage a future but you give up a high pick you know in the draft and and then something
09:14happens
09:15it's almost like the teams that have depth you know from the draft and maybe some tier two or tier
09:23three kind of free agents uh you know with the scheme are better off in the long run to survive
09:31the nfl season and i realized you know you can't play this what if game but it just seems like
09:37there's
09:37so many injuries now and and you know you just can't rely on one person to fix things when there's
09:44so
09:44many injuries there's validity then there's validity to say that and all you got to do is
09:48look at michael parsons and miles garrett and to a degree sauce gardener who's back in the field
09:54they're not winning you can go all in for a guy and it doesn't necessarily put you over the top
09:59um
09:59it's a risk there's no question it's a risk we'll talk with the quarterback jerry golf coming up uh get
10:04your questions in kang is trying to sift through them and edit so if you have a question for golf
