00:11that's dan campbell when asked about making a change with a coordinator
00:16um and he's done it in the past and i feel like i just keep refreshing twitter let's just say
00:24that
00:25uh which serves a purpose for breaking news i'll i'll say that about twitter it serves a purpose
00:30for breaking news do you have a number for jim schwartz i do not okay yeah you know do you
00:36think
00:36other people do i think he can be reached if that's what you're asking okay i don't think he's
00:41off the grid no uh all right let's talk to the people bill and warren hi bill morning guys how
00:48are you uh i know everyone is going to be calling in about the defensive backfield and rightfully so
00:55but my complaint is the shameful misuse of a premier halfback in the nfl jameer gibbs
01:03and i know that coach campbell has talked about trying to get him in the open instance space
01:10to take advantage of his speed his moves he's got pretty darn good hands and uh so uh what happens
01:18is drew petzing decides to run him into the line over and over and over and uh getting uh 15
01:27carries for 46 yards three yards a carry literally turning him into a fullback you got to get some
01:34better use than that and uh i i don't know if this petzing is an ultra conservative man or if
01:40he's stuck
01:40in his ways or what but you've got a generational talent in my opinion uh back there and to run
01:47him
01:47into the line turning him into a fullback just makes no sense to me thanks guys i mean i don't
01:53think my man knows what the word literally means yeah you get yards between the tackles i mean that's
01:58that's how it's the longest run of his career i think a lot of his long runs in the career
02:03started
02:03between the tackles now yes you can get you would think guys with speed get them outside
02:09but the guys on the outside they have more speed than the guys on the inside you open up a
02:14hole you
02:14exploit that that's that's the thing i he's not they're not using them like a fullback i would
02:21disagree with that um and boy if that's the takeaway from last night i don't know what i don't either
02:27let's go to richard in detroit you're next on 971 hello richard hey guys um with all due respect you
02:35guys gotta stop gaslighting the fans saying that the offense has to be perfect 100 for red zones who
02:43said that i'm sorry who said that uh the show before you guys okay well then don't say that don't
02:49accuse
02:49us okay but i'm sure it's just i'll give you another example for you guys but for four red zones
02:57four field goals if we would have just converted half of those 50 we will won the game then you
03:04guys
03:04are telling the fans we were in the conversation with porter jr if someone wants a million dollars
03:09and we offer 50 000 are we really in the conversation well here's the thing richard they admitted that
03:15they were in on the talks for joey porter jr we don't know what they offered but they were in
03:20on
03:20the talks for him so that's what we talked about compared to you guys i i my football knowledge is
03:27is minimum but you really think brad is going to get a draft fix and that's the only way he's
03:33going
03:33to well well richard i'm not sure how else you acquire somebody in trade when you reportedly are
03:38we're in on a trade so i mean to this point that's how you get them is through draft i'm
03:43saying why are
03:44you guys saying we're we were in on the trade because it was what dan campbell literally said
03:49and and adam schefter yeah they also said we we good we like our guys well those those quotes and
03:57those
03:57quotes are coming back to haunt brad i i will say when you say we like our guys you're showing
04:03faith in
04:03the players that you have and and when he said it at the time we made that comment this is
04:08a
04:08this is him showing faith in who they have on the roster as to not undermine them and give them
04:13a shot
04:13now with that said his behavior i have a bigger problem with him not upping the ante for
04:19joey porter jr and and look i was a card carrying i was probably an original member of original brad
04:26um but i i had to turn it in last week because of my disappointment in their inability to to
04:35acquire
04:35that player and and you know i i would love to hear brad's explanation as to why the price was
04:42too
04:42steep well maybe or did the player is there any chance that the player didn't fit i can't imagine that
04:49that's the case is there was there real concerns about the back i mean i i i can't i can't
04:56figure
04:56it out i mean i mean brad you i have supported him through questions decisions and other people
05:03question him they go well there could be reasons because he's really really he's been really sharp
05:08and he's done some really good things and i don't expect him to be perfect but what's on the football
05:13field right now and there was a path to getting getting it getting it better uh yes there was and
05:23it was confirmed by the head football coach last week when he said yes we were in on it yes
05:28brad was
05:28talking to them okay and the report was a couple weeks ago that would take a second round pick to
05:34get
05:34it done the cowboys offered a second and a sixth a sixth this year this upcoming draft and a second
05:40in
05:41the 2028 draft so i mean my question would be well what did the lions offer him and you're going
05:47to
05:47say somebody wants a million dollars you only offer him fifty thousand dollars look that's that's not
05:51apples and oranges here uh that's apples and oranges here what did the lions offer in in trade if the
05:56lions offered a third round pick then it's it's an easy no-brainer if the lions offered a second and
06:02that was it and the cowboys threw in the sweetener of a fifth round of a sixth round pick and
06:07the lions
06:07didn't counter to that then that's on them but they were in on it they didn't they didn't close
06:13the door they didn't close the deal i should say let's go to mike in macomb you're next hello mike
06:19hey how are you guys okay yeah i'm gonna say that this is that we got about 70 on brad
06:30holmes about 30
06:31percent of the uh issue is on kelvin shepherd now hear me out on this he wouldn't waste a second
06:37and
06:37fourth round pick to get joey porter jr right but he had no problem trading a third round pick to
06:43move
06:44up for giovanni manu he had no problem wasting three picks to move up for broderick martin and he had
06:52no
06:52problem wasting three thirds to move up for isaac tesla who then they turned around and re-signed jamo who
07:00can't catch a ball without using his body so my issue is is why are these picks so coveted when
07:11when you're in the draft and you're using them for nonsense that well i'll tell you what mike i have
07:18a
07:19hard time defending your take on it because i kind of agree with it brad holmes moves all over the
07:23place
07:24on draft days he is more than willing to give up those picks to maneuver and move up in the
07:28draft or
07:29move back in the draft but he seems quite reluctant to do that when it comes to trade deadline which
07:34is
07:34weird i don't understand i think mike i said this uh for a couple of years now because the world
07:40has
07:40changed like college sports has changed a ton and uh but but if you have a way a path to
07:46you know
07:47there's a variety of different ways you can make your team better and you know in college sports it's the
07:52introductory of the transfer portal uh in in the nfl it's it's what it's always been there's draft
07:59there's free agents there's undrafted free agents god's guy off the street there's looking at other
08:05binding practice squad talent and there's trades and i feel that for some reason
08:17brad is really reluctant and and and you know he's made some trades let's be clear he has made some
08:25trades many of the trades that we have that we have talked about either the player didn't get traded
08:34or when we saw the price we realized it was way higher than maybe originally thought this is one where
08:39there is a a absolute player available at a position of need with a price that seems way
08:45affordable we know what was for sam we know how much it cost this is a this is all the
08:52fact-based
08:53criticism and and he wouldn't do it the whole it should have trade for max crosby at the trade
08:58deadline well was he really available like some of these moves that people get mad about that didn't
09:03get made we don't really know this we know this is like because it was available in the offseason he
09:11was in the offseason but at the trade deadline he wasn't dealt when people won right when players
09:15don't get dealt at all you wonder if they were really truly accessible in this particular instance
09:21and and look this may not matter to the average guy but for me i want to be able to
09:26back up that
09:27criticism to a person's face if i see him and this time we've got the what was sold and how
09:32much it
09:33cost what the problems were at the lions did they need the player i i just i i they didn't
09:40make a
09:40move i turned my card in and now it's it's rearing its ugly head so four weeks into the season
09:45there
09:45are eight teams that are either oh and four or one and three keep an eye on those teams over
09:50the next
09:50couple weeks if things don't improve for those teams that's that's who you start looking at to try
09:57to pluck good players from their roster in trade because those teams are going to start talking about we
10:02got to rebuild we got to look at the draft or who are we losing and all that and and
10:06i would hope
10:08that that's what brad holmes has done here while passing on joey porter jr maybe he's got his eyes
10:15set on a bigger fish i don't know i i bigger fish another fish what yeah it'll be other fish
10:21i don't
10:21think it'll be bigger yeah what i what i say last week when you're bidding on a house and you
10:24get out
10:25bid do you go oh well i'm homeless or do you try and find another place to live hopefully he
10:29is
10:30it is not being stubborn about it go back to the bank and ask for more money and get a
10:34bigger fish
