straight to the people just a little preview of the trade deadline because there was a ton of news

0:06.9

today and how you want to approach it and again i just hate the idea howie roseman and miles garrett

0:13.5

that's very scary to me but you guys tell me what you think we'll go to jay 971 jay how you

0:18.2

doing pal hey good afternoon fellas how y'all doing brother. What's going on? Good. So I want the Lions to be a little bit aggressive this trade deadline because I feel like outside of a Super Bowl, the only thing the Lions didn't do really was go out there and get that splash player in a draft. Now, I just hate to see other teams go out here and pick up a player like Michael Parsons

0:40.9

and hearing Max Crosby or Garrett being shopped and the Lions are like,

0:45.0

hmm, we're good.

0:46.1

While this team is good, I do think they can still get a lot better, especially on defense.

0:51.2

Jay, you know what's interesting, and maybe I look at it the wrong way. But when I look at Davenport and we don't know if and when he'll come back, and Pascal, they're kind of soft peddling now. You know, it started out. He'll be ready for the opener. Then it was, all right, I'll miss the first four. Now it might be December and it's a back.

1:11.5

Exactly.

1:12.5

Here's the other thing, Jay.

1:17.0

I also future cast, I'm going to incur more injuries.

1:23.9

So it's like, let's insulate now because I never want to be in that position I was in last year.

1:24.9

Right.

1:25.4

Absolutely.

1:30.1

And you know, with the lions being bad for the better part of 60, 65 years,

1:35.6

I mean, damn, do one move that gets this whole city excited to win a Super Bowl. You know, like,

1:39.4

do something, make it historical, make it like a movie or something. Go out and put all your chips in the middle and say, we're trying to win the championship. I mean, come on, for God's

1:43.6

sakes. But one thing that really gets me is for Marcus Davenport in the offseason, he was talking about how people would doubt him he's going to show something. You're going to show us something about playing two games again or play over five games in the season. And listen, let me be clear, Jay, it, no player wakes up in the morning going, hey, I'm going to get hurt and miss another 10 weeks today. Like, Marcus Davenport doesn't, you know, have his morning cereal plotting ways to get hurt. It's just availability is a skill. Jay, I always use this example. I'm a Giants fan. The Giants drafted one of the best college running backs I'd ever seen. Tyrone Wheatley. You know what Tyrone Wheatley couldn't do for me? Stay healthy. Stay healthy. And it's not, it just, it is what it is. Certain guys just can't stay upright. Absolutely. So for me, and for me, like I said, I want the Lions to go out and be aggressive. Go out and get somebody that can help out that defense. Help A.N.

2:34.9

Not even more helping A. and Hutchison, but help the damn team just win all together. Yeah. Miles Deere to M. Crosby could be that guy. Oh, I mean, that's, it'd be a dream. But, Jay, I've just long accepted. It's just not what Brad Holmes is going to do. if they did it, I think you'd become the prohibitive favorite to win it all.

2:53.6

I think you'd

2:51.1

become the prohibitive favorite to win it all. I think I'd use a phrase that is really

2:55.9

rarely used. I think you'd be unblockable. Remember, these two stats kind of, there are three
