00:01okay so dan campbell speaking at this hour birchie kid is there then they open up a portion
00:06of practice he will be there for that as well and give us the very latest on everything that
00:11is said and everything he observed uh that today at 115 so uh that to look forward to as we
00:17get
00:17you set for another weekend of lions football back to jaylen duran stuff here in a minute for
00:21people who have just tuned in um if you just heard that update i hate what the athletic is
00:27reporting about work ethic concerns hopefully it's much ado about nothing which sometimes happens in
00:32sports a whole bunch of attention is paid to something and uh turns out that it is no big
00:38deal and so that's what i'm hoping but it kind of undermines my whole belief that the player can
00:44get better and the lions know or the pistons know better than anybody else blah blah blah um but
00:50you also heard there in the update uh that dan campbell actually did acknowledge the trade rumors
00:59with joey porter jr um we are very much in on it that's according to cory woods uh one of
01:10the
01:10reporters that covers the team he also goes for him live he goes on to tweet campbell typically doesn't
01:16address trade rumors so for him to acknowledge they were in the mix for jpj is not something to
01:21gloss over uh this from richard silva of the detroit news that covers the lions lion head coach dan
01:30campbell asked about the joey porter junior trader how much detroit was interested in quote brad he's
01:35been in on it for a while that's been ongoing everything got aligned got everything's got to align
01:42right cowboys did what they wanted to do we were very much in on it what do you make of
01:49that
01:50tells me they weren't willing to go that extra step yeah that if it if it took a second and
01:56the
01:56fifth to get it done that was too much for the lions to do that's what it tells me yeah
02:01it's like
02:02dallas did what they thought they had to do and it's like good for them that's not where we were
02:07going to go i don't like it i don't like it i don't either and if you missed yesterday's show
02:13i called this a swing and a miss um by brad holmes i think a missed opportunity and you know
02:20i'm
02:21disappointed and again for people didn't hear yesterday's show not that this is particularly
02:25important but i've officially turned in my brad bot card in which case i usually think okay but i trust
02:32him to have a player like that available to help your secondary i suppose in the end it's not about
02:38winning the trade or getting the biggest headlines it's about getting a player that can help you and
02:45if joey porter jr goes to dallas and sucks then it's you know then they just and they decided not
02:51to up the ante they were right but god i'd like to see them and and i and i also
02:56pointed out yesterday
02:57if you're bidding on a house and you love the house and you want the house and then somebody
03:01comes along and outbids you you don't go oh well i'm homeless nowhere to live you keep looking for
03:07another place to live and so i'm the the encouraging part of this you know for what it's worth is
03:16that
03:18brad's calling and and looking for help in the uh in the secondary ever get up in for a house
03:25i'm gonna outbid for a house uh yeah yeah we did um you know we were in on a couple
03:33of things but
03:34there was one it was a lot actually oh it was an empty lot we were gonna build yeah that's
03:39exciting
03:39yeah and we didn't we didn't we we lost out on the lot we wanted which was right across from
03:44a park
03:44we thought it was good we had young kids uh but we're cool man we're fine things worked out we
03:51set
03:51up we settled on a different lot nice nice all good well played have you ever been outbid on a
03:55house i was before i got the house i i have now which i love uh i was outbid and
04:03my agent told me
04:04um you put in a fair offer really fair offer you were outbid considerably i'm like really he goes yeah
04:09he goes but what's going to happen is they're going to tear down that house and build on that spot
04:14and i literally drove by it two weeks ago yeah and it is that is not the house that i've
04:20been on
04:20is that right they built like i think they doubled the square there's like a 6 000 square foot home
04:26there right now that's crazy wow yeah so but i'm very happy for that uh some injury updates from
04:33nolan bianchi uh writer for the detroit news injury updates lions head coach dan campbell i'm brian
04:40branch this is exciting he's close yep he's close he's ready to go i'm tired of listening to him
04:48i mean that in a good way love that kid man he's put in a ton of work so here's
04:54what the schedule is
04:55obviously he's not going to play sunday they play a week from sunday they'll play at arizona and then
05:02they have a bye week and then they'll play at home against green bay on october 25th does he return
05:09for that game would he be ready to go by october 25th i i mean nobody wants to rush it
05:18right and
05:19i'm sure the lions are the last team that wants to rush anything particularly brian branch but
05:24if he's ready to play and he's amped up in practice and he's ready i don't know how long
05:29it's going to take him once he's actually practicing with the team to to get game ready
05:35i suppose it'll take a little bit but i'm just wondering is that is that first possibility that
05:39first window of opportunity is that october 25th against the packers or do you wait another week
05:44and when you take on the vikings at home on november 1st yeah look um you know that the achilles
05:51is a
05:52tricky thing right it is some data that points out that you know a skilled position player can lose a
05:57step and it can be costly in terms of uh you know their career arc uh feels like the achilles
06:04is the
06:04new knee but like john henry daly who's in michigan he was coming off an achilles and here he is
06:10tied
06:10for the big 10 lead in sacks um so and that happened in november is he playing tomorrow don't know
06:17because he got injured at the end of the iowa game the good news is it's not the achilles that
06:21is
06:21good news the bad news is he got injured and stopped the clock and it might have avoided the whole
06:25finish because iowa might have been in a fire drill situation being out of timeouts and not
06:30knowing if they had time to spike it whatever i don't want to relive that um but yeah so he's
06:35come back and he's been okay 248-539-9797 also on the injury front again according to nolan bianchi
06:42of the detroit news tweeting out dan campbell says the lions hope to get rookie linebacker jimmy
06:47rolder some snaps on defense against the panthers okay you're a jimmy rolder fan yeah when when you
06:54see the guy play when he was actually playing he was good good closing speed aggressive i like that
07:00i gotta see if i still have the notes from last year when he played at michigan because they were
07:07saying i think it was wink martindale who was the defense coordinator at the time saying he literally
07:12has not been healthy since his freshman year and he was healthy for last year until he wasn't
07:18which at some point he got hurt again um guy's been snake bit a little bit uh eventually maybe
07:25you call it injury prone but um well i hope he gets a chance to play um because when he
07:31does play
07:32he's good yep you want you want the notes here i do just found him rolder is actually healthy for
07:38the first time since high school defense coordinator wink martindale says he's basically their third
07:42starter baseball player had committed to an offer had a committable offer from illinois committed his
07:47sophomore year baseball helped him play the game of football mentally his hand eyes through the roof
07:54he's a cubs fan his stepdad scott kehoe played for the dolphins taught him the mental side of the game
07:59are you still he's still a fan he's a cubs fan look i mean he's got that that's a that's
08:04a second
08:04big strike against him the first michigan second is a cubs fan i can appreciate him as a player and
08:09i
08:09try to when to get to the nfl i i abandon all the michigan michigan state stuff but um that's
08:15tough
08:16that's that's tough one to get past yeah the cubs the cubs thing is that is the bridge too far
08:23two four eight five three nine ninety seven ninety seven there was a wildly awkward moment in an nhl game
08:29last night and it reminded me of a wildly awkward moment you had where the joke didn't hit oh we
08:38will
08:38play this awkward moment for the people coming up today at 12 22 and we'll relive gator almost
08:45getting our butts kicked right after that it is carson anderson open lines 97 one
