| 0:00.0 | I want to have a conversation where multiple things can be true. |
| 0:03.4 | I don't think the Lions fan base is in a mental state to handle that because we have reached |
| 0:09.8 | irrational euphoria face, meaning best team ever will never lose again. |
| 0:15.6 | Everything's awesome. |
| 0:16.9 | LEGO movie. And I'm going to bring data, data that doesn't lie. |
| 0:23.8 | And I'm going to tell you that while I'm thrilled that they won yesterday, |
| 0:26.6 | because it was unbelievably meaningful to the Home Field Advantage chase, |
| 0:31.3 | and both coordinators were A-plus-plus-plus, more on Glenn in a second and |
| 0:36.8 | Jared Gough, RICO will have the MVP conversation a little later. what they did yesterday is wholly unsustainable. |

| 1:39.5 | I'm doubling, tripling, quadruple dog doubling down on, we must get a pass rush from here. |
| 1:47.0 | Because it is unfair to Aaron Glenn if you're asking him to Blitz at 57%. |
| 1:54.0 | And by the way, one sack is on a Hail Mary. |
| 1:59.0 | You can keep it. |
| 2:01.0 | Another sack was the equivalent of Michael Strayhan on Brett Fav. |
| 2:05.0 | When the center falls over and trips over his garden hose, |
| 2:09.0 | and there's simply no one there on a counter. |
