| 0:00.0 | All right, Jeremy Otto's in a bad mood, so we're going to move on. I feel bad. I've never seen Jeremy angry. Oh, well. Okay, T.J. Lang joins us. You do make it very hard for him to do. We have fun with him. I have said to Jeremy from the beginning, you know we don't like you if we don't mess with you. Think about it. You know what it was? I'm not about this right now. It was like Ned Flander's shanpping. He truffled his paper and slammed back. He was like, I don't have a dropboard, but I can throw stuff at you. That was his Michael Douglas falling down moment. He may walk back here with a bazooka. |
| 0:38.6 | I'm impressed. |
| 0:39.9 | I'm worried about him. I'm not. He's normally a very happy man. I'd like to see a little fight in him. Well, I'd like to see fighting the lion Sunday. We bring in... Okay, TJ. TJ. Cell phone down. No, I got it. Okay. Well, first of all, spam calls are getting out of control. |
| 0:55.2 | Well, so's Eastern Luther. |
| 0:57.0 | Why do you got to bring that up? Yeah, poor choice by me wearing the t-shirt, by the way. You wore the shirt. We'll get to it later. I took a triple-take. Laudry day. Fair. Yeah, rough. I want to ask you, we can leave it alone. There's the rest of the fall to talk about it. I want to ask you, we can leave it alone. |
| 1:12.0 | There's the rest of the fall to talk about it. |
| 1:13.7 | I want to ask you about we did a topic at five yesterday. |
| 1:16.9 | And I said, look, I think the pack are going to beat up on the commanders. |
| 1:20.7 | And I think the pack, they might be real. |
| 1:24.3 | And they did exactly that. |
| 1:25.8 | And we asked Lion fans. |
| 1:27.3 | Like, TJ, when they made the Parsons deal, I thought the pack were kind of eye to eye with the Lions. There was going to be a 15 round fight. I kind of look at the Packers right now, you're in chase mode. Like, the Packers are legit. What do you need to see Sunday to feel better about the Lions? Besides a win, like, Doesn't it have to look a certain way to you? There you go. Get a little. Yeah, it's got to be. There you go. I never asked, I never question effort, you know, unless it's like blatant guys just loafing out there jogging around. I didn't see that. Like losing the Long Island University. Yeah, exactly. But I didn't see, last Sunday, I didn't see the same urgency that, you know, you get used to watching this team. Defense, I mean, I thought, honestly, I thought they played well for most of that game. They played well enough to win based off of the type of offense that you have. You just couldn't get complimentary football. |
| 2:18.4 | But I need to see some sort of rhythm start to develop in the past game. |
| 2:25.0 | And I know I've heard about it all week about the offensive line and the sacks and the pressures. |
| 2:29.0 | Like, bottom line, and I've rewatched the film. |
| 2:33.5 | I'm very hesitant on Monday mornings when I come in with Jim and Janssen because I haven't watched. I haven't watched the film. And I can give you my gut reaction, but I'm never going to say, oh, this guy didn't play well because you got to go back. You've got to study those, right? Graham Glasgow has been taken. I'll promise you this. Graham Glasgow was the lowest PFF got. He was not a bottom 10 player on that |
| 2:53.5 | on that field Sunday. So going back and watching it. And also, by the way, we talk about the |
| 3:00.2 | offensive line. The pressure, certainly the run game was bad. I didn't like the scheme. I didn't like |
| 3:04.2 | some of the calls in there. It's just like confusing when you go back and rewatch it. Like, why are you asking this guy to do that from this align? Like, it just didn't make sense. But in the past game, and Mike, I sent this to you earlier in the week. I know. Like these are facts. Jared Goff had the third most time out of any quarterback last weekend, an average of above three seconds before pressures. |
| 3:28.0 | And you got into the game, certainly in the fourth quarter where they know you're passing the ball. |
| 3:28.4 | We know you're passing the ball. |
| 3:29.6 | It's extremely difficult to pass rush. |
