| 0:00.0 | Welcome into the Friday Detroit P-O-D class. |
| 0:22.8 | Cat, not class. |
| 0:24.7 | That's a classroom that Ryan Matthews is sitting in, but that is not what this is. |
| 0:28.1 | You're home for all the Detroit Lions talk and news analysis, all of those fun things. |
| 0:33.5 | I am your host, Miko, joined once again by my amazing co-host, first and foremost, we have your senior editor over at Pride Detroit, Ryan Matthews, right, at Ryan underscore POD over there on Twitter. Geez, I am toned like crazy today. What's going on, Ryan? Help me. I'm doing all right, man. And you're going to do just fine as well, you know? |
| 1:10.9 | Get those jitters out. I hope so. Maybe I've just been doing too much. Maybe I've been in the sun a little too much today. Like, I don't know. But that could do it. That absolutely could be the effect of things going on right now. Also joined by your chief and editor over at Pride of Detroit, Jeremy Reisman at Detroit Online over there on Twitter. Jeremy, |
| 1:16.5 | what's going on, my man? Hey man, hanging in there. It's a preseason halfway through. We're halfway there where we're I mean, I think literally what a month almost exactly away from the |
| 1:22.5 | start of football. That seems way too far away. I was going to say, it seems so close yet so far away at the same time. |
| 1:31.3 | But at the same time, I mean, again, like you said, we are inching that much closer to the regular season. |
| 1:37.3 | Today we are going to be jumping into basically recapping yesterday's preseason game, |
| 1:41.5 | talking a little bit about some of the players that stood out on both the offensive and defensive side and just some of the storylines that could be coming out of that game and how that could impact the rest of training camp going forward especially some of the camp battles between certain position groups I think there was definitely a number of things that stood out primarily looking at the quarterback position that is definitely worth talking about. |
| 2:09.3 | And then I think we definitely got some look at some really solid depth from both the defensive line as well as the secondary in that game as well. |
| 2:25.8 | But before we jump into talking football, obviously there was a very scary moment that happened in yesterday's game that resulted in yesterday's game actually being pretty much ended at the end of the third quarter because I think it was honestly when this injury occurred or this incident occurred with Maurice Norris. |
| 2:27.7 | It was literally at the beginning of the fourth quarter. |
| 2:33.8 | But wanted to at least give our listeners an update who maybe haven't been updated to this point. |
| 2:39.6 | Maurice Norris did sustain a head injury in yesterday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. |
| 2:43.5 | The official statement by the team goes as follows. |
| 2:47.4 | Maurice Norris is in stable condition and has feeling and movement in all of his extremities. |
| 2:51.5 | He will remain at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta overnight for observation. |
| 2:55.7 | The team also stated that we would like to thank the Atlanta Falcons organization, the EMS team at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the doctors and staff at Grady for their support. |
| 3:01.6 | Jeremy, from my understanding, we have gotten a more recent update, courtesy of Day Burkett, |
| 3:07.2 | that it does sound like Maurice Norris |
