0:00.0	You are Locked on Lions, your daily Detroit Lions podcast, part of the Locked on Podcasts
0:19.4	Network.
0:20.4	All right, here we go.
0:21.0	We played it on a Tuesday, February 27th, and a Wednesday, February 28th.
0:24.9	It is another edition of Locked-on Lions right here on the Locked-on Podcast Network,
0:29.1	your team every day.
0:30.7	You're listening to Detroit Lions coverage with Matt Derry.
0:33.5	That is me.
0:34.0	What's going on, everybody?
