00:02the car scott anderson 97 one all right so lions patriots coming up on sunday
00:08uh gator this one patriots have given up a lot of yards through the air 271 a game 25th most
00:17they rank 25th in past defense they're much more stingy against the run they've also turned it over
00:2419 times drake may 272 attempts this year 11 picks jared goff 273 attempts two picks he's thrown one
00:34more pass nine fewer interceptions but may has been playing better in recent weeks uh as you
00:41mentioned earlier they're shorthanded uh and they're really good with explosive plays 80 explosive plays
00:46leads the nfl what is your what is your thoughts on what we're going to see sunday morning uh my
00:52early
00:53thought is i like this matchup for the lions obviously i i think that the patriots are a
00:59little they're a little more than banged up they have no running game to speak of with both of
01:03these guys out stevenson's out henderson's out um it looks like they're going to get aj brown back
01:10which should help them out in the passing game but you know this isn't uh it's not as high powered
01:18if
01:18they can't run the football and the lions are awfully good against the run and you know so it's it's
01:23it's a situation where i think that their weaknesses and then line strengths things are lining up here
01:29and i just think the offense is ready to to explode and and make some things happen out there get
01:34back
01:34on on track of being an offensive team the packers just put 45 up on uh on this team um
01:41just a week
01:42ago uh so i i think they're definitely susceptible to that i expect the lions to be able to score
01:47and move
01:48the ball pretty well i think the lions are really excited to be there in germany where i think most
01:53teams kind of dread having to go overseas i think the lions are fired up about being there and whether
01:59whether yeah i do i think whether it's the it's just a monro st brown being happy to get there
02:04and be
02:04the ambassador for this team all the videos i'm seeing on social media really seem to to indicate
02:11that these guys are really relishing this opportunity um you know the fan base is all excited i've got
02:17friends of mine that texted me last night hey are you by chance are you going to be at this
02:20game in
02:21munich like nope and he goes all right we're going uh but really yeah i was about to say is
02:26this going
02:26to be another lions takeover are we taking over europe well this is the this is the city we're
02:31associated with right each each nfl team has their city and isn't this the lion city i don't know
02:37i i but because that thing always seemed to be so forced to me it is forced but when you've
02:43got a
02:43player a star player on your team like i'm on our st brown well that's different who's got these
02:48german roots yeah i mean i think this is they're leaning into it man and i and i think they're
02:52really going to enjoy this one um did get word today that kirby joseph is not going to be playing
02:58in this game st brown is questionable but we know better than that he's going to play uh st brown
03:03missing
03:03the germany game is almost impossible right st brown could have his arm in a sling and a cast on
03:09his
03:10foot and he'd play in this game more than likely right yeah so i just i think there's a different
03:14attitude about this and one team is riding the wave of winning four straight and the other team is is
03:20coming off a really devastating loss against the packers and uh you know they've lost two of the
03:25last three um they're going through the gauntlet of the nfc north they've lost to green bay and lost
03:30to chicago dare i dare i say you sound chesty you can say it because i feel it kang your
03:38thoughts on this
03:40game uh i think it's gonna be a tougher game than people realize like obviously the um the packers
03:45lit up the patriots but christian gonzalez was very uncharacteristically bad he was awful historically
03:51yeah historically like he gave up 80 plus receiving yards to two different receivers christian gonzalez
03:56which a guy i thought could maybe win defensive player of the year one year that's how good of a
04:00corner he is so i don't expect him to be that bad i respect variable a lot the guy gets
04:05his team
04:05usually ready and they always have something sneaky up their sleeves i feel like he's one of
04:09those guys that finds the loopholes in rules and things like that he probably found like a european
04:14rule that we don't know about or something he's gonna use this game i don't know but i think this
04:17is um drake may has been up and down but when he's up man i think he had a five
04:21game stretch this year
04:22where he was he looked like drake may have last year where he was in the running for mvp but
04:27when he's
04:27bad he looks like a rookie all of a sudden that first game of the year he looked like he
04:30he couldn't
04:31have regressed regressed anymore um without all that being said i think we're this deep into the
04:35season now they are who they are they're they're a winning record team they're gonna put up a tough
04:40fight hopefully the lines aren't too distracted by all the you know the lines take over the the being
04:46like you know being caught up in this you know germany game because st brown's from you know his
04:51mom's from germany and all that stuff but i expect a close game i expect the lines to win that
04:58close
04:58game but i would not be shocked at all if they lost the patriots are no pushover and then like
05:02i
05:02said the whole international factor that's kind of like uh the next factor that we don't know about
05:06you know 2485-3997-97 if you are going to this game and haven't left yet although if you haven't
05:15left
05:15yet you might want to consider soon um but if you know anybody that's going i i kind of expect
05:21every
05:22road game to be a lines takeover and you know what patriots they just went to the super bowl
05:28so i bet the fans that like we're going to shell out a lot of cash to travel probably still
05:33you
05:34know wouldn't that have been their big spend is to get to the super bowl maybe maybe not i i
05:40think
05:40it has another another makings of a lines takeover some of the stuff i saw posted on social media
05:46it looked like there were lions fans everywhere but i'm following lines exactly i was gonna say the
05:50same thing but because i've seen a lot of videos where they they show like there are there lots of
05:55honolulu blue in munich right now lots of billboards and posters whatever with lions players
06:01on it you know the lions players are are meeting with the media and they're getting a warm reception
06:05from the crowd there and you know barry sanders was at the hopper house and he was using the bung
06:10hammer to tap the bung hole and then get the uh the the beer tap going there at that place
06:17that's right
06:18which brought that some great memories for me when i i actually had the chance to do that in
06:22october festa like 15 years ago and it was nerve-wracking and awesome at the same time
06:27uh and i've actually been to the hopper house and hoisted some pints i i just yeah all right so
06:33i
06:33enjoyed that very much and uh i'm this is the i think this is the only time you're going to
06:38hear me
06:38talk glowingly of of expecting a nice feeling about this game being played overseas you know i don't
06:45like these games no this one i'm kind of enjoying and maybe even dare i say missing out a little
06:49jealous in this one really this is not like you i know it's not i really enjoy germany on principle
06:56you should hate this yeah kind of right hang is he getting soft no i think because he's a lions
07:02fan
07:02the lions are over there this is a one-off dude he'll be back to hate the international game soon
07:06as the lions leave i mean unless they're playing stockholm one year then maybe yeah that's stockholm
07:10that's that's close to your heart right see no i disagree i think you're getting soft gator oh okay
07:17fair enough oh look we got a lot to look forward to the last hour of the show we got
