And welcome to First Bite, the Pride of Detroit Preview Podcast for your Detroit Lions.

My name's Jeremy Reisman.

I'm the managing editor at Pride of Detroit and your co-host for First Fight.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you for joining us.

I know it's been a rough two weeks, but we're hoping to turn things around this week,

and we have a big show for you for week three.

But before we get to my guests, it's Lions Cardinals Week. Let's

welcome in my co-host, Ryan Matthews. What's up? What's up? Hey, buddy. How you doing?

I'm enjoying the prospect of seeing the lions turn things around in the desert. Are you saying that to convince yourself because you weren't, I mean, you didn't convince me there.

Well, then I guess it didn't work.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

All right.

Every week when we do this preview podcast, we like to bring someone from the opponent's side of the side of the field, someone who knows the other team and expert in that field. And this week is more of the same, except we've got a very special guest. Ed Smith joins us from the Believe in Cardinals podcast. It's also a former NFL tight end and he actually

spent some time with the Lions. He was our guest last year too because the Lions and Cardinals

seemed to play each other every single week. Ed, thanks for rejoining the show, bud. Hey, Jeremy Ryan,

great to be here and buck up fellas. It'll get better. You would know, right? You would know.

The Cardinals have seen them some dark times.

They've seen some good times.

By the way, Ed Smith speaks on Twitter.

Let's get into this year because obviously things are looking pretty bright for the Cardinals.
