| 0:00.0 | Three o'clock. Good to have you championship weekend in the books. We all watch the games and look we've got a lot more to do and I do want to get into Kansas City in Cincinnati specifically because Rico's game was not a game that was nonsense. |
| 0:15.0 | But I have a question for lion fans. |
| 0:19.0 | Look when you sit back and you watch these games and I know I do it with my team and I do it with yours because it's what we do for a living when you watch these games what was the one thing you walked away convinced of from championship weekend. |
| 0:33.0 | You know, for instance, I can say for me, I am convinced that the lions must continue building the defensive line and you got to tune out the noise from Gator regarding taking a corner at six. |
| 0:49.0 | Once I just can't I can't do I can't do what's got this idea that you don't want to take a D line minute six. It's outrageous. I look at all of these teams. The San Francisco 49ers relentless up front the Philadelphia Eagles relentless Kansas City. |
| 1:08.0 | Same to relentless and even Cincinnati much more unheralded took away the chiefs ground game and pressured my homes. |
| 1:17.0 | They didn't lose because of the D lot. I walk away from this weekend. No, I don't walk away feeling like it's impossible and I don't walk away feeling like we could beat these teams. |
| 1:29.0 | But what I walk away watching these games this weekend is that at pick six plus. |
| 1:36.0 | You got to keep building this thing up front. No nonsense. No noise. No noise about a corner at six. No noise about the skill player. |
| 1:47.0 | Go get the best defensive line been available at six. You kind of saw that with Philly who could end up winning the Super Bowl. |
| 1:54.0 | They take with their first pick. It took a defensive line. Oh, by the way. |
| 1:59.0 | Fun stat for you. What is Philadelphia's record this year when both Jalen Hertz and Jordan Davis play. |
| 2:08.0 | Jalen Hertz and Jordan Davis. And they've played 19 total games. |
| 2:14.0 | Together. No, 19 total. I think they're undefeated when those two you are correct, sir. I believe they moved to 15 and 0 when both guys play. |
| 2:23.0 | Yeah. Jordan Davis is a game changer. So for all of you, boner jams who knocked my partner in crime over here. |
| 2:30.0 | Jordan Davis is that dude. Right. And he's coming off the bench, but you're solidifying your strength, which is that's okay. |
| 2:38.0 | Because when you look at that Philly D line, they even went out and got an economic ensue. |
| 2:42.0 | Didn't need him, but you know what? Sure. Why not already had a great D line. Signed Javan Hargrave from Pittsburgh. |
| 2:49.0 | Already have a great D line. Gonna go out and draft Jordan Davis. Yeah. |
| 2:54.0 | I want to know. And again, you don't have to walk away convinced of the same thing. I am. |
| 2:59.0 | But I want to know where you're at as a Lions fan when you watch these games. |
| 3:04.0 | What did you walk away feeling like you learned or feeling like? Hey, I am convinced that the Lions must dot, dot, dot. |
