Rich Eisen’s Top Takeaways from the Lions’ WK1 OT Win over the Rams | The Rich Eisen Show

the Detroit Lions looked like they could get got last night the Rams are a really good team man gosh is Matthew Stafford when you watch him slinging at the top of his game it is just fun to watch I think even too said it's just fun to watch took a lot of hits last night dude when he's no look I know that because they they're banged up on their offensive line already pukaa got carded off man so awful to see devastating but fresh reminder healthy Cooper cup is first battle Hall of Fame type player dude oh first bot first ballot oh pal I don't know about some point listen he looked great yesterday Cooper cup at the top of his game he back is 100% a first ballot Hall of Famer if he you're including the consistency of it this dude 14 catches 100 plus yards he's open every single time mcve can scheme him open it doesn't even matter if he's open to on the was oh my God that toe tap incredible is already your Clubhouse leader of uh best catch of the Season tow drag swag of the year that unreal by the way the best throw of the year is Anthony Richardson to Alec Pierce so far as your in your in your Clubhouse leader while we're just talking about this that no doubt against the Texans who uh came with a nice week one on the road division win with Stefon Diggs but that said Rams showed up looking like the Rams did in last year's playoffs okay and defensively they were doing it for Shawn McVey and if there is one thing about Shawn mcvey's game I would just let which is kind of crazy to say because this guy five out of seven years he's taken teams to the playoffs some that you expect some that you don't like last year and can Les need pick players who who who can play together and be coached up yes the answer to that is yes now McVey just gets a little too aggressive you know when they have the ball and all they got to is take the air out of it right it's always a tough conundrum you know you got to keep the clock moving but you also can't just go into a shell you can't just go three and out uh it just seems that he he sometimes can't get that sequence right last night was one of them the Lions took advantage of that kicked a field goal went into overtime and won the game with 100% Dan Campbell football come out get Raymond running around the and little Dipsy do try and get you know some defensive eyes one way go the other way and then just Ram it down your throat yep they passed it one time to jir Gibbs ran it one time to jir Gibbs and then ran it five times with David Montgomery Smashmouth nine yards per carry five carries 45 yards That's All She Wrote lions come up with the big win at home to start the season for them fans going nuts week one this is the first time this offense played together Jameson Williams showed up showed out they've got everything going for him especially that five up front and if G doesn't make a mistake they are going to be tough to beat certainly when Dan Campbell is handing the football to a guy that is a perfect extension of his Mantra after we ran the condition test uh in whatever that was July 26th I guess um you know the day before we started our first practice and he was he just man you talk about a guy who was in outstanding shape look all of our guys were but this guy just looked I mean he looked like he didn't break a sweat for this thing and and then the first few days of practice he doesn't look fatigued he he just and so he's in unbelievable shape he's worked um worked extremely hard and uh and he's just man he's reliable he's reliable he he runs heavy he's tough he's physical he gets in a rhythm and I think he's a catalyst for us you know he starts carrying it and he gets better and better and I think the line feeds off of him and he feeds off of them and um and we get what we get so that guy's a stud and so are the Lions and they're going to be tested over the next four games man their next game is against the Buccaneers at home another rematch from last year's playoffs and the Bucks looked terrific in week one at Arizona which looked terrific in week one in Buffalo despite succumbing then they're home for Seattle and then after a buy at Dallas look out we have got some great football in the weeks and the first month ahead certainly with the Lions coming up with the w and same thing with the Bears and same thing with the Vikings sure enough the Packers are the only team in the NFC North to lose week one and they're the ones who are going to have to go into the next few weeks and month without their starting quarterback catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free
