welcome to the new YouTube channel if you haven't already done it hit the Subscribe button to follow us all season long for updates and content so happy that you're here it's going to be a great year I know you want to talk about your boys Mitchell I know that's why you're quiet because you got so much to say about those honol Lulu blue wearing Detroit Lions because it was rocking out there at fordfield Mitchell tell me about Richard I was there fired up as could be and I tell you what you go into that Stadium Sunday Night Football a lot of fun right I mean the the city's Lively we saw it with the draft Detroit knows how to show up that stadium was a buzz Richard from the moment you get in there an hour before the game and let's not forget the story here uh jerro goof the castoff from the LA Rams sent to Detroit the lowly Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford and this is Matthew Stafford's second home coming if you will and he was met with some cheers rich I mean the fans gave him some love as he ran out but as soon as that game started it was it was just like the playoffs and Richard you look at this team they battled all game it wasn't pretty you know I think the Lions probably played C+ football on the day they had their mistakes you know uh Goff threw an interception the defense had a couple break downs they gave up a 17 to3 lead but what showed me about this team is one I thought they were down and out they came back and there's a there's a stigma here in Detroit called the same old Lions the same old Lions would always find a way to lose a game they should have won well this this is a brand new lions and this is what we've been talking about since last year this team is now finding ways to win a game they should have otherwise lost I mean they Richard they were down and out let's face reality and and all of a sudden they got a three and out from Matthew Stafford they went down the field they got a rookie kicker in Jake Bates that delivers a clut clutch kick albeit short still clutch kick for him and then they go and Pound The Rock seven consecutive plays I think they had one passing play on that that overtime possession Richard that is when a team shows you hey this is our strength our o line's number one in football and we got an absolute Workhorse behind them in David Montgomery we're just going to give you the football and show you that our team is stronger than yours and Richard that's what they did I I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on the Lions because while it wasn't a pretty win it was a gritty win and that's the way Detroit plays football Mitchell it it it was a gritty win it it it seemed like it was almost symbolic of the city of Detroit hey people think a certain way of you you you you got beat up a little bit early got you know down and out but the Detroit City Mitch the Music City Mitchell they're going to make it happen and they did this is a beautiful team they have a beautiful culture um you got the young guys homegrown talent that are making it happen Aiden Hutchinson with a sack four quarterback hits Brian Branch who's a seconde player had three pass defenses uh that secondary looked much better even though Matthew Stafford had 3 17 yards he's a big yardage quarterback he's gonna he's going to get his yards no matter what um but Jameson Williams who you called Mitchell you called that Jameson Williams they have a lot of belief in his kid and you keep hearing all his Praises oh he's going to do this he's going to do this he's doing it five catches 121 yards in a touchdown he looked incredible out there and then you get to the last Drive hey overtime we're taking the ball we're going to we're going to March it down really old school style right behind our right side of our old line you know we'll get some to the left but right behind pan soul in that right side of Old Line we paid him this is our guy we believe in him and we're going to trust him and David Montgomery continued to just punish the defense punish the defense punishing run after punishing run they gave him a slight break in there to get jir Gibbs a touch but at the end of the day he wasn't coming up very often he wanted this drive on his shoulders and he took it and he led this team down it looked like such a confident and strong that's why they're contenders Mitchell that's why they deserve the respect because they they walk the ball down versus a very very competitive Rams team a Rams team that was in the playoffs playing this team last year so this isn't just some slouch of a team this team is a team that expects to compete again um for playoff contention and they really just said hey we're going to impose our will and let you guys know you're at our stadium in our house and we're not having it we're walking away with a dub get back on your plane go back to LA see you later and see you later Matthew Stafford as much as we love you here in Detroit it's got to feel pretty rough knowing that you've lost twice to your former team in the last what six months Richard seven months I mean that's demoralizing right Richard what what I get fired up about the Lions is their offense was supposed to be spectacular you you add another piece in Jameson Williams you get the development of Sam leap Porter you get the maturity of jir Gibbs then you just keep this molding and mesing of this offensive line I didn't see so many offensive lineman jerseys in the crowd which I mean there was like a pan Su every fifth Jersey I saw it's insane how much the city loves this o line but what they need to help with is what you pointed out the secondary and they also just needed to add a little bit more depth on that D line they went out this off season and they've got DJ reer who did not play but one of the biggest names that I think a lot of folks should be aware of coming out is number 91 Levi AAR the defensive tackle out of udubb Richard he's been injured for three years and he came back and Dan cell says this guy is going to be a Bonafide star here this year Richard he had a sack against Matthew Stafford if the Detroit Lions can add DJ reer in another piece on that D line I mean now all of a sudden we got a defense that could be again what I called top 10 in this league Richard I'm excited I think this team can go on a run right away I know you like the Buccaneers and they are a tough team but I just love the lions at home next week I I can't see a situation that they l L that game Vegas has got him as a touchdown favorite already Richard taking a week one dub feels a hell of a lot better than taking an L I will leave you with that no question no question and this is without a great game from your star receiver Alan Ross State Brown not because he wasn't great but because it was jamus Williams's day and now people are gonna have to game plan for jamus and Williams they're game planning for Alan raah doing everything they can stop to do to stop Alan ra St Brown in the tight end but you're not accounting for Jameson Williams now you're going to look at the film and say man we got to make sure we know where number nine is at all times and that's going to open things up for Alan Ross St Brown to have more success but I guarantee you Mitchell I know you feel very confident about this game against Tampa but they looked really good Baker looks like he found his home that Todd B's defense is very hectic they create a lot of chaos lonte David looked like he had a really good game Joe Tron sh shinka had a really good game they're putting a lot of pressure on quarterbacks they're doing a lot of great things defensively Mike Evans Chris Godwin those guys are are putting on a show as they always have but you're right your Honolulu blue boys look like a dominant force and look like they can win these games in whatever way they need to it can be a big highs scoring pretty game it can be a ugly grinded out gritty game it can be a defensive matchup it could be a shootout whatever they want to do it seems like they going to have to do in the Honolulu blue if they want to get a clue Mitchell I'm going to make a rhyme out of that at some point I need that I I need that before you come to Detroit for that Green Bay Packers Thursday night football game I'm going to need a wrap on this Richard
