Speaker 1: What have you seen other Lions defense so far? I
Speaker 1: think they range sup towards this kind of the bottom
Speaker 1: of the league in some areas. But what have they
Speaker 1: been good at? Um the things that they have been
Speaker 1: good at. I mean, they've got some players out there.
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at Slay, we've been watching
Speaker 1: the film on him and he's extremely talented corner, really
Speaker 1: good just in coverage and out of his breaks. So
Speaker 1: it's just been a point of empassis for us if
Speaker 1: you are lined up against him, just making sure that
Speaker 1: you know if you sell your routes, you take your time,
Speaker 1: that you're patient because he's a guy that he's not
Speaker 1: buying on double moves and he can be physical as
Speaker 1: well as Finesse and then also Quinn in the back
Speaker 1: in the back with the safeties, he's real, real smart guy,
Speaker 1: be in the league for a long time. He'll come
Speaker 1: and hit you too. So we're basically really keen on
Speaker 1: those guys. But other than that good defense, they're gonna
Speaker 1: try and get to the quarterback. But we felt we
Speaker 1: have a good plan for him. Jordan Shack. Other thing,
Speaker 1: Detroit obviously does a really good job of getting the
Speaker 1: ball to running back side of the backfield to read it.
Speaker 1: How much more difficult does that make it for you
Speaker 1: this week? I don't know if it's necessarily more difficult.
Speaker 1: We go up against one of the best backs every
Speaker 1: day and that's Darren Sprowles, um with that type of
Speaker 1: stuff getting him the ball and um, you know, allowing
Speaker 1: him to be a part of the past game. So
Speaker 1: I think we've got a lot of good preparation through camp,
Speaker 1: through you know, every time going against him. But you
Speaker 1: know that's that's a big part of their game is
Speaker 1: getting their backs to the ball. So obviously we're ready
Speaker 1: for it. Um, you know, we've we've we've you practiced
Speaker 1: all week, we've we've seen that route, so we're ready.
Speaker 1: Frank talked this morning about the reeling selfishness with the
Speaker 1: skill players on this team, a big reason player why
Speaker 1: there's been that success, and we really noticed that the
Speaker 1: first two reason this season. Yeah, definitely. I think earlier
Speaker 1: I said that we need to be like Spurs. I's
Speaker 1: tell him that, you know, we need to be the
Speaker 1: type of team that you don't know where the ball
Speaker 1: is going. Everybody needs to be able to make a
Speaker 1: play at any time. But the way you even have
Speaker 1: that ability to do that is the character has to
Speaker 1: be instilled in the guys that we don't care who's
Speaker 1: going to go out there and make the plays, and
Speaker 1: that we're always going to be excited whenever somebody goes
Speaker 1: out there and does something to help this team. And
Speaker 1: I can't like express enough how excited I am to
Speaker 1: be a part of a team like that, because there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of teams like that in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Like selfishness will kill you from the inside out. It reeks,
Speaker 1: the team hates it, and then everybody knows is it
Speaker 1: from you guys, to the fans, to the organization. So
Speaker 1: you know, just when you look at the guys and
Speaker 1: our team, you look at spros, you know, if I
Speaker 1: would have came here and say, hey, he's gonna go
Speaker 1: for one and twenty and a touchdown, you know this
Speaker 1: past game, you'd be like, you know, you have no clue.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I went four hundred the
Speaker 1: first game, haven't the last two games, But then the
Speaker 1: second game, who steps up Trey Burton does. He has
Speaker 1: a huge game versus Chicago. Brid Cell has been consistent
Speaker 1: each time, and then I feel like this has been
Speaker 1: without who I consider one of the top five you know,
Speaker 1: tight ends receiving in the league when it comes to zact.
Speaker 1: So now at him back to that fold, you've got
Speaker 1: a large group of guys who can go out there
Speaker 1: and make plays. I still feel like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things we can do with DGB that we've yet
Speaker 1: to be able to do. So the next thirteen weeks,
Speaker 1: I think you're really about to just see us as
Speaker 1: an offense open up and just spread the ball around.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, man, like this team is not fake.
Speaker 1: Like the guys on offense, we love seeing other guys
Speaker 1: make plays and everybody's in it for each other and
Speaker 1: that's the best part about it. Jordan picks. You guys
Speaker 1: were in Detroit last year. Yeah, obviously, different team, different regime,
Speaker 1: all that. From a defensive standpoint, Calvin's not there anymore.
Speaker 1: In a weird way, as that made him a little
Speaker 1: bit more difficult because they're more willing to spread the
Speaker 1: ball around. Now, you know, absolutely not if Calvin's out
Speaker 1: there on the field. It's obviously he takes most of
Speaker 1: the attention. Last year, we had so much attention on
Speaker 1: him that other guys were able you know, to be
Speaker 1: in one on one situations and kind of get exposed
Speaker 1: a little bit. So you know, with Calvin on the field,
Speaker 1: we're able to m you know, really spread it around
Speaker 1: and we're not. I mean, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's not about who they have, it's not about what
Speaker 1: they do. It's about what we do. UM that goes
Speaker 1: offense and defense, this whole team, special teams, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: it's all about us. As long as we focus in,
Speaker 1: do what we're supposed to do. Execute when we're on
Speaker 1: the field, execute the game plan, We'll be all right.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. Jordan's out out
