| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm Joe Kanya with me as always is Eric Schlett from pride of Detroit.com. |
| 0:11.0 | And Eric, we have completed week one of the preseason. |
| 0:15.8 | A disheartening, 16, 15 loss, it's not disheartening. |
| 0:19.6 | It's a preseason game. |
| 0:21.6 | It doesn't really matter. Score-wise know only if major disastrous thing happened things happen during the game |
| 0:28.0 | would we'd be we'd be solid about it sure all right so now in the last since the last time |
| 0:35.2 | we've talked a bunch of stuff has happened with the lions as far as uh additions and subtractions goes to the the roster and the thing is like we |
| 0:45.2 | saw all these guys play yeah on Friday like they they were they were signed and then they |
| 0:50.7 | were already out there so nickel back uh nickel roby coleman uh running back Javon Leak and running back Craig Reynolds. And we saw a lot |

| 1:28.2 | But Roby Coleman's an interesting one to me because of the fact that he's a vet that has had success with this coaching staff previously, specifically Aubrey Pleasant. |
| 1:39.5 | And he's a guy who probably has an inside track to make the 53, where the running back's probably not, but Coleman, Roby Coleman probably does. |
| 1:48.4 | And depending on how things shake out, he could be an important factor for the Lions this season. |
| 1:56.7 | All right. |
| 1:57.6 | So then the released guys from this week, when you talk about Roby Coleman, they've released Quentin Dunbar, which is the first surprising move of camp, right? |
