Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now back Debruss Brude COR's Light Jews to Jill Mondays
with Safti and dipp On your home for the twelfth
Man and the NFL Sports Radio ninety three point three
KJR FM.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
All right, we're back here from the Ember Quick Casino
Sports Book getting ready for Seahawks Lions tonight from ford Field.
A guy that will be there, it's his job to
be there. Ninety seven to one the ticket in Detroit.
He's kind of a big deal man. We're actually lucky
to have him on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Oh yeah, talk shows around the country are lining up
to get this guy on the air, but we're special.
So he calls us and tells those other fools to
take a hike. Our buddy, Rico Beer joining us live
from Detroit. How are you man?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You know why, Softie, because I feel like I'm a
part of the team already. My goodness, how many shows
have we done in the last three years? I mean, seriously,
when's my check in the coup?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know what, when my check shows up, your check
shows up? All right, I'll making a deal. I get paid,
you get paid. Hey, tell us about tonight's game and
what would be of prime concern you think for the
Lions about the Seawk football team tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Man, uh, Tonight's game is it's it's gonna be electrics.
I mean, the Lions are wearing they're gonna debut. They're
all black jerseys, and fans are walking around right now
with black and black T shirts and black hats and
black everything. This is gonna be the thing I think
that was concerned the Lions, was concerned the Lions for
the last two years. But as two weren'ts Gino Smith.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
They can't contain him.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
He just makes place, he extends drives. That's been the
bugaboo for this Lions defense for years. That mobile QB.
Baker Mayfield came in here and won the game off
of a quarterback run. Now they contained Kyler Murray last week.
But yeah, Gino Smith is the guy that really concerns
most Lions fans and probably the Lions team because he's
(01:51):
done it for the last two years.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Well, how is this past defense compared to the past
defense you had the last two years? Better, worse, same,
you know what?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Probably the same.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Now they have Marcus Davenport here, but then Davenport, surprise, surprise,
He's always injured and he's injured again. So there's nobody
on the opposite side of Aiden Hutchings. And now Aiden's
probably gonna go up against your backup right tackle and
he's gonna cause problems or you gotta know, leave a
tight end or running back in to help hitch those blocks,
(02:24):
because if you leave Aiden, if you leave.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Him alone, he's gonna second quarterback a couple of times.
I mean, he's really coming into his home. So but yeah,
other than that, the other side of the line, if
Gino takes off, he probably can make it on that
other side either though, you suck Aiden in and you
go where he's not.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, I mean, Aiden Hutchinson, to their credit, hasn't done
much against the Seahawk football team. Now it's a totally
brand new staff, brand new offensive coordinator, brand new offensive
line coach, brand new head coach. We'll see if they
can control him in tonight's game. But I mean, dude,
you guys got to think, don't you that you can
move the ball a bit against the Seahawk defensive front.
No Mafey, no big Cat, no Murphy, no Chenna. You
(03:06):
gotta be drooling thinking about Jared Goff against that front
four tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Come on, man, No, absolutely they are.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Now The key is here's here's your magical number, guys,
thirty four.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
What is thirty four?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
If Jared Goff throws the ball or has at least
thirty four or less pass attempts, Lions probably win this game.
The last two times he plays Seattle, he's throwing the
ball for over thirty five times, They've lost both games.
If he throws for less.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Than thirty four, it means the Lions are running the ball.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
They're using Jamier Gibbs, they're using David Montgomery.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
They Rhythm and Blues is what they.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Call him here. That running back candem is lethal. And
if they're running the ball and you know, going up
against your defensive line that's depleted, it's gonna be a
long day for Seattle.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
That's the old Russell Wilson number I used to throw
out at the let Russ Cook crowd. They wanted to
throw at forty forty five times, but no, the Seahawks won.
When they win, Russ threw it than thirty five times.
Rico Beard joining us talk about the injuries. Other than
the rag now at center, Davenport at edge, anybody else
out for you guys.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, I think Brian Branch, the hard hitting safety, second
year from Alababama. He's not gonna be playing the rookie
inness Rakestraw cornerback, He's probably not gonna be playing in
this game as well.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
But Brian Branch, he's the difference maker on defensive safety because.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
He blitzes a lot. He has a lot of extra pressure.
He's actually like, he's like the pseudo defensive end that they,
you know, the Lions don't have, and he's not there
because he brings those blitz practices coming from the safety position.
He won't be back there, so the secondary will be vulnerable.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Wow, if they can't get.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
The gino, you know, you know JF. Sans could have
his way because that's probably who he Branch would have
been guarded.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
No, on now I'm drooling thinking about facing that Lion secondary. Hey, Rico,
before you go, what's the impression of Dan Campbell out there?
Dick and I were talking before about the great job
Dan Campbell's done, but he still has kind of that
you know, little hormodal gene inside of him that every
now and then just he spasses out and goes forward
on fourth and twenty from his own ten yard line.
What is the impression of Dan Campbell so far after
(05:17):
a few years as the head coach out there?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You know the phrase that you guys just say, just
let Ruff cook. You know what, Just let Dan gamble.
Just let him gamble. He may lose, but I think
lives fans are okay with him gambling because that's just
his personality. Right now, Dan Campbell could run for mayor
of Detroit and win, and probably the only person that
(05:41):
could challenge him right now would be aj Hinch.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
The Tigers manage right, yeah, because they're in the playoffs too.
I love it all right man, bread stuff. Enjoy the
game tonight, but not too much. And hey, we'll talk
very soon, maybe later this week before you place Michigan
or right pala, thanks man?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Oh yeah, because I saw you doub is now favored.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Definitely give me a well
