we're going to get into the latest Detroit Lions news and rumors for you folks today in this video we're going to be talking about a Lee mcneel contract could the Lions use the franchise tag lions got six players in the top 100 NFL fans believe that the lions are going in the right direction where do they rank in that and players on the practice squad let's get this thing started right now well right now [Music] subscribe to the channel why is that because if you're watching this you're probably a lions fan this channel is all about the Detroit Lions and soon you won't be just hearing me and hearing my dumb takes you'll be hearing people that you may actually like on here so subscribe to the channel just waiting for the leadership to let us know in that one we're going to start here with the Lee mcneel it says uncomfortable Quest from the Detroit Lines May face that by John maoe great guy great uh writer here's the thing the lions are in infancy stages right now of extending El mcneel they just started the talks nothing significant or anything like that the Lions will get it done why the Lions want El mcneel they do believe he's a Cornerstone for this football team they eventually will extend him the word is eventually and the word is what will they do in the meantime well they're going to try to get a contract done and if the worst come to worst you can always do the what franchise tag we haven't used it in a really long time but that's the worst case scenario and the lions are really good right now fiscally right they got great cap space they're good with contracts they've been smart I'm not worried about them in the franchise tag this leadership are always always getting the contracts done they're very good and smart that they they're not holding out or like other teams like the Dallas Cowboys or San Francisco 49 where you have contract issues they like to get in front of it and get it done and I'm sure that's going to be the case here how much we don't know when we don't know worst case scenario franchise tag good to go so in my opinion it will get done I'm not concerned at all but what about you are you concerned about the lions in ele mcneel one if you're not concerned at all 10 if you're extremely concerned let us know in the comments below you probably already seen this but six lions make the top 100 of ESPN Aiden Hutchinson sitting there at 19 you can't can't get upset about that at all right a Hudson I think a lot of people expect him to fly up this year and take that Elite level I expect it as well I think you all expect it as well that's what we have seen in training camp and him taking that next step the the final step the big step to where you're the elite guy panu will sit at 24 I would probably put him much higher in all honesty I think pan is one of the best tackles in all football he's a juggernaut 24 seems a little bit low for him 25 am man ra St Brown yeah absolutely no doubt about I think it's a good spot for St brown right there one of the best receivers in the league physically just just a dominant guy even though he's only six foot tall but he's so gifted he's angry when he plays good player almost, 1600 yards the guy is a stud jir Gibbs sitting at 52 I like this I like this because I think people realize how how high this guy's ceiling is going to be I'm really high on jir Gibbs I think jir Gibbs could be the best running back in football this year not saying with the best numbers because obviously we have multiple running backs but I think he he he could be the best absolutely could be the best anytime he touches the ball it's electric Jared G sit at 65 a little bit low for him but I'm I'm happy he's in the top 100 uh Jared gof is the prototypical quarterback they always say well he doesn't have this he doesn't have that yeah but he he's very good at reading defenses and distributing the football being patient and hell of a great quarterback at play action love what I see there and Sam leor sitting at 68 love Sam leaport we all do I think he's going to be end up being the best best tight end football I know this sounds like Homer takes I truly believe that and the potential for these players on this team is immense and that's why the lions are as one of the teams that a lot of people do believe could win the Super Bowl this year they see the talent they see these players and the lions are representing and I love that how many players do you think the Lions should have in the top 100 do you think it's six do you think it's seven give me your thoughts of what you think they should have not what they do have in the comments we got a CBS writer believing that the lions got the best practice squad in the NFL and this is Chris trapasso he says the Lions secure the top spot mostly due to the receivers on their practice squad dpj is one of the most explosive receivers in the NFL 44.5 in vertical with 11 seven broad jump Robinson has lost a few steps as we've seen bounce in the league recently but he's experienced nonetheless Patrick was shock and cut by the Broncos after a fantastic preseason Kennedy was has been long preseason here on Detroit he's right there due to his suddenness and underneath the reliable hands uh the dpj I'm going to disagree with maybe at one point he was but uh he's really falling off a cliff and I would I would have probably made explosive receivers he is hasn't really done anything he he hasn't done anything but in the practice squad that's cool I'm fine with it you know I'm not ever going to get upset about a veteran on a practice squad really ever even if sudfeld was on there I wouldn't have gotten upset it's the practice squad with that said I'm really happy from the guy I really am because his ceiling is higher much higher uh than sudfeld well Nathan Peterman uh is equivalent to sudfeld so I tells you all there what do you guys think rank the Lions practice squad the rest of the NFL I disagree with the dpj stuff uh but hey cool man the lions got the best practice squad in the NFL that's what they believe even though it's so fluid it doesn't really matter right in the end of the day they have the best it's just fluid but you would expect that right because the team is good so you expect the roster to be good on the back end IE practice squad you're not going to see the Carolina Panthers with the best practice squad because their regular Squad blows so give me your thoughts on that one let's get into the next one Lions believe two Rocky seasons were a blessing in disguise for Jameson Williams this is what Brad Holmes talked about we just go right to what he says it says it happens in life when you think you're encouraging a setback and it ends up being a blessing disguise home explained I think the first two years we know that he was going and recovering an injury for the first year so we know that but then he had another in the hurdle in the second year for those two years he showed showed tremendous growth showed tremendous growth in a person and a player I see actually it's been a good thing now because he's out there and he can clearly see the mature the maturation of the game and it's been a joy to see this year I think he's matured a lot more Williams said coming in the league I still had some Childish ways wanted to do what I wanted to do and I wanted to do sometimes you got to listen and just be on the right track follow the right path you'll be on for a sec I think that you see the tremendous growth the tremendous growth the kid the player person assist jerman drag I I think he's a attack of the game they should attack it now like a professional his route run is improved catching the ball improved he's an exciting kid look he gets injured that sucks obviously for the first year then he does the betting that sucks he's like he was young like I said before many times when it comes to these players folks they're 21 years old and I got to say that a lot of these guys probably all of them were much more mature than I was at 21 so uh he's he's fine I can't wait to see him break out this year and explode on the field if he does what we all expect he's going to do the lions are going to be in a really good spot when it comes to the offense it really is because if you have that deep thread opens everything up on the inside good luck going against the Lions oh you don't want to double up J Mo well he's going to beat you deep Jared Goff is just going to launch it so I'm super super excited for the potential that he has and guess what he's going into what his third year this is the magical year for a lot of NFL players this is where they take the next step can't wait to see it see add in the way got National NFL fan believes the Lions have the most promising team ain't that great 90% of fans believe that the lions are the most promising team for the future and I like this list I do agree with you the Texans should be number two I think they're Lions of the AFC I think they've done a great job over there you can't you have to put the Chiefs on there right you got Patrick Mahomes he has to be there 49ers same thing got to put him up there I'm shocking that the the Bears are ahead of the Packers but it's only by 1% Ravens and and you notice it's still going down a little bit Falcons should be promising as well I think they're going to be a good team this year Miami Dolphins the problem with the dolphins is they're a finesse football team not a physical team they have to travel to the cold weather in November in December and you guys can't win in those games so it don't matter what you do in the beginning you got to got to do it in the end of the season as well when it's cold out so that is an issue for them but lion sitting there at 90 why is that do I have to explain it we have Brad Holmes the drafter of drafters he knows how to draft he knows how to find Talent everywhere you got Dan Campbell head coach epic smart physical grueling grit guy scouting Department great all young players on this team the sky is the limit for our beloved Detroit Lions 110% and 90% I like you lions and Texans right there and that's a good thing it's a really good thing and I'm happy the Texans are you can have Lions Texans Super Bowl I think that would be really good I would love to see a lions Texans Super Bowl you would have two teams it' probably be it would be a fun matchup because these guys are are a juggernaut and it could be a Super Bowl preview this year because the Lions travel to Houston to face the Texans so we could have that that would be intriguing to me if you ask me that would be really really intriguing and that's the one I personally would like to see what do you guys think who is the team you want the Lions to face if the Lions make the Super Bowl Kansas look if you go Kansas City I get it because then every single person in the world is going to be rooting for the Lions except for Kansas City fans so if if you like that I totally get it but let me know your thoughts in the comments below adios
